Game Day 2022 SC Round 1 - Let's Get Ready To Ramble

[Jiska]

It's that time of the year where we're about to hit crazy season on the board.

In order to keep some order around the place, I've locked all threads except the standard ones that we have during the season - refer #5. Will leave the rate my preseason thread going until final lockout.

Any new threads that don't fit in to the standard structure will likely end up merged with either an existing suitable thread, or the General Chat thread as a catch-all.

Good luck to everyone - this is one of the toughest years to pick a starting side that I can remember.

Looking at it with a glass half full approach Gawn's game tonight was actually pretty good. Pretty much played as bad possible. Dropped heaps of marks. Kept getting free kicks paid against him. Still scored almost a hundred.

Also still got the majority of the ruck minutes with Jackson mainly forward. Bodes well.

Had a ripper of a game. Gawn the only let down. Will give Worner the C to get Macrae's VC score and Richards' emg score

 

[Duckworthy]

Don’t have him mate

Just being a bit smart ass

 

[Bjchan13]

4/344. Not ideal

 

[Lepube]

Love the start!

 

[Thomas Hird 2020]

Gawn (VC)
Dunkley
Macrae
English

Happy with that. Should have VC’d Macrae, now sweating who to captain. Touk or Grundy?

If you post anything along the lines of "I considered Tim English in my team", honestly stfu, we all did, we all had about 300 players in our team this PS. He was my R1 and captain for a while blah blah. If only I had kept iteration 494 and didn't take team 673!!

Anyway a perfectly timed tweet today re: Fyfe made me take back my stupidity, and by trading Stephens down to Soligo I got Macrae back in.

Bont KOTD for his ton but I'll take it. Won't have many more games sub 20 disposals. Although if he is going to miss games I hope it's a proper injury and not a frustrating 1-2 weeker.

Gawn couldn't take a mark and got frees against for being too strong, yet still a 90 so I'll take that.

And Macrae and Dunkley did what I paid them to do.

I agree. Should have had 9 free kicks, not 8.

 

[FFB1]

Gawn 92, Bont 103. Please.

 

[AFDogs]

2/429 (C)

 

[Ingy]

367/3 before scaling.

I suppose I'll have to make do with that

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

BTW peanut MnMs dont go with scotch but i dont care.

Max has been murdered by the maggots.

Maxy ....6 Free's Against .... 24 points lost to Frees

We are going to, have to have a chat .....some man conversations

 

[SC fish]

476/3(C) not a bad start to the year

Had a ripper of a game. Gawn the only let down. Will give Worner the C to get Macrae's VC score and Richards' emg score

McCartin at D4. Wow. I know this isn't the rate my team thread but surely you need to get at least 1 more premo in in Defence and get JHF on the field!

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

 

[Caztheconquerer]

3-339 or 3-471 if I take macrae vc

 

[DERIBERATE]

Rd one pre covid .

Both Grundy and Gawn flopped everyone loses there sh*t.

Rd 3 both go 130 plus...

I'm sorry Luke Jackson (oh), I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

Martin back next week.

 

[HTPunter]

I had the standard core of Junkley, Macca (VC), Gawn and Piggy. Should have picked up Trac like I did last year

Same. But paying 650k odd last year and remembering his start meant he was one of the only midfield premos (along with Guthrie, Lyons, Wines) that didn't enter my side this PS.

If Bont has done something that requires time out it becomes a pretty easy trade now over the next week.
