[JuddgementDay]

But he didn't butcher it last night and kicked 2 important goals. He just didn't get awarded points for a few touches that I think he should have, which would have got him over 90. That was not a 79 point game.

Did you end up starting with Treloar in your team?

 

[JuddgementDay]

Darn - got caught out, I thought the game would start at 7:30pm or so
I was planning to go Gawn to Darcy, and Treloar to English, once I've heard that Martin was out

If only I’ve paid more attention and pulled the trigger earlier
Gawn looks like he will ton up most weeks, but nothing major - Darcy has a much higher ceiling

English looks good & in the game much more than Treloar

Yep - definitely my first sliding door moment for the year

 

[JoeGab]

No trac but I had english so I'm not too mad

Nah mate, ended up with Cogs at F3 so I could load up on mids. He looked fine, I think when the Dogs win he'll get the 100s

I’m not too concerned, it’s only 1 game… at a minimum he’s back fit & around the contest

 

[Suma Magic]

5 minutes before the game I was tossing up between two options.

One included Touk, Ridley, Stephens, Brodie.

The other included Cripps, Hewitt, dusty and a cheap rookie.

You can probably guess what I went with.

 

[DCasey91]

Agree 26 disposals at 69% and 2 goals isn't terrible if not 100 at least in the 90s you would think.

SuperCoach isn’t purely stats based. It’s weighted and has key impact metrics which Treloar’s game all lack atm.
4 clangers, 4 CP’s only, low DE% for an outside game and a junk goal at the end barely any tackles too. He had an empty kind of game.

I’ve found SC’s scoring system to be pretty accurate. Sure there’s inconsistencies in what is more valuable per say ala the halfback chip method easy 100 but the logic is there though halfback play doesn’t actually generate huge scoring potential but it does drive team meterage through the roof, it also punishes poor DE/FA’s and rewards key plays & high effectiveness.

(I do have Treloar atm and it doesn’t look great).

 

[balmainforever]

Someone please tell me why I would drop Docherty for Dawson.

Absolutely a DADS moment.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Someone please tell me why I would drop Docherty for Dawson.

Absolutely a DADS moment.

I don’t think anyone could have anticipated a return like that.

 

[CotchyPls]

Someone please tell me why I would drop Docherty for Dawson.

Absolutely a DADS moment.

Had to drop Lloyd, which lead me into picking Hall, which then lead me into dropping Doc because my defence was getting real injury prone.
Fact this happened 10 minutes before the game makes me filthy.

 

[AFDogs]

Someone please tell me why I would drop Docherty for Dawson.

Absolutely a DADS moment.

Think the fact you had him in the first place is crazy. Would have been an enormous POD.

 

[Deliverance]

Darcy. Can only downgrade him to rucks that won't score as much as he did, for not enough extra $$$ to upgrade anything decent.

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Owen, Crisp but not Hayes. Ack. Correctives mounting already and it's only three games in. Don't have Cripps or Hewie either. Not venting yet but not off to a flyer either.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Trying to set my emergencies on my phone last night, stupid ****ing thing wouldn't let me.

Ok, I'll do it at work today, too busy, didn't get time. Alright, I'll drive home from work in Ballarat to Phillip Island in peak hour traffic and do it at home on the desktop when I get home.

Got home at 7:40pm, forgot, my kids were onto me about things as soon as I walk through the door.

Just went to set them, I have Hayes on the bench so can't make him emergency and my other bench forward is N.Long who I could have used to loophole Hayes on.

What chance both of Rachele or N.Martin outscore Hayes? I'd say **** all chance.

 

[FFB1]

Steele. Captain.

 

[weltschmerz]

When choosing between Crisp, Stewart, and Dawson to replace Lloyd, I chose Crisp.

 

[Jiska]

Owens

 

[TDS7]

Owens, Crisp, Capitain Jack and skipped Hayes for Dixon. This is the price I paid for having Tracc and Saad in my draft pool.

 

[Daniel_Rich]

Owen, Crisp but not Hayes. Ack. Correctives mounting already and it's only three games in. Don't have Cripps or Hewie either. Not venting yet but not off to a flyer either.

This is exactly where I'm at. Switched Hayes to Dixon last minute on the advice of a Saints supporter mate who said he'd have poor JS.
Had Hewett literally all PS until a few hours before the first bounce. Second last iteration of my team had Cripps and Hewett, instead they went out and McGovern came in (among others).
Had Petracca as a POD until I got cold feet. Didn't have Crisp but then Lloyd was out and I figured why not?
No real disasters yet - can fix Owen to Hayes in one trade and it didn't cost me any on field points - but oh, what could have been. At least I went Macrae + Miller and not Steele.

 

[JoeGab]

Owens, crisp, not regretting steele but just not happy with how he performed, but i regret having gibcus on field. Happy with everyone else, really hoping touk as captain works out well, 10/1030 is okay, but could be better.

 

[kaiserchief13]

No Cripps, Kennedy, Macrae or Hewett.

Wonder if A Kennedy is popular this year?

 

[Duckworthy]

Vents thread yeah?

Give us more cheap rookies

 

[VainGlorious]

Should’ve listened to Ingy and started English.

 

[Bjchan13]

Mitch Owens

 

[ArdentEagle]

Biggest complaint so far is Hayes locked R3. Can't loop.
Could be worse I suppose.
