[Dazza the Viking]

17/1749 Macrae

Ginby, Hunt, Witts, Gulden and Chandler to come

 

[Barnzy]

Stocker -8 *ing LOL

Tell me this game is normal

Only happens to my players I swear

 

[Corkintheocean]

The Stocker ride continues. -8 after the game

Mummy, I want to get off.

 

[danster168]

I think you just got to ride laird if you own. As soon as you trade he'd going 130 and meeting his BE. I have a hard time believing he's not top 8

He's not top 8. not even close.

Marshall 100 though! and Setterfield 88

 

[mitchzz]

1736 with 5 to come, 2 of which are Chandler and McVee

Average week but to be expected with late LDU withdrawal and Constable out too

I'm hoping the Setterfield injury was just a dislocated finger as he seemed to look at his hand after applying a tackle

 

[amazingjoshy]

He's not top 8. not even close.

Who is though?

Midfield is a minefield so far

 

[TheRednWhite]

He's not top 8. not even close.

He just had a 140 last week....port match up in a showdown as well was not going to be easy.

Everyone who doesn't own Laird now will get him when he bottoms out. Seems like Oliver and Bray are the only uber premo mids doing anything so far, nobody else is putting their hand up to be top 8.

Bro, wtf.

 

[Shane Heard]

and Josh Kelly. He was set for a ton before he got knocked out in round 1. Came back firing.

 

[danster168]

Bro, wtf.

he's averaging 94 mate. And we're 3 games in. What more proof do you need? his mark and tackle numbers are well down. His disposals numbers are down and his time on ground numbers are well down. Also his general level of ability is well down. What else do you need to see from him?

I've seen 2 good weeks from Jelly with regards to role and scoring. But still not 100% convinced. If Jelly is a near lock for top 8 then surely Laird will be there too with his credits in the bank

And he just had 57 2 weeks ago. And he hasn't even faced the tagging teams yet.

Port are tough and I think showdowns are also a bit low scoring in terms of fantasy. There is no way you don't have 2 bigger issues than Laird

57 in rd 1 must be something physically related with the heat, rather than ability/role

 

[danster168]

Who is though?

Midfield is a minefield so far

for starters, anyone averaging over 100 would be in the mix. Laird is averaging 94. so he's miles off it at this stage.

 

[Barrybran]

Illness R1, Port R3 and he pumps out a 142 in between. I'm curious about his early form but not sure if I can write him off.

2 out of 3 weeks there's been excuses. I'm sick of it and him. his average was 120 last year. What he has dished up is not on. No excuse not to tackle and no excuse to fumble clear ground balls.

He played Port last year and didn't go this poor. And in round 1 it was his lowest score in 9 years? it's not a coincidence now. tonight confirmed it. It's a must trade. Oliver simply doesnt put in poor games like this.

ok trade him

No one is going to tag Laird. He's not the type of player that breaks a game open.

 

[mitchzz]

Laird is a jet and will be fine

 

[Milo Cyrus]

1542 with 7 to come.
Ginbey, Bowes, Sheed, Serong, Witts, Gulden & Chandler.
Just not getting it done as yet.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Yep, hopefully a few more trade him out and he drops another 140.

 

[tigs2010]

Just sorted players by total points and Sheezel is first for at least tonight

 

[kozi]

Starting Laird over Oliver with the (c) is literally the only difference between the top 1k and where I'm at. 220 point toll already if Oliver goes 120 tomorrow.. brutal
