Game Day 2024 Fantasy Round 6 Discussion

[Corkintheocean]

Hmm Cadman, Reid or Thomas on field?

Reid for me

 

[tigs2010]

Only Martin tonight. Considering Young as C tomorrow.

 

[pupstar]

Yes. lower goes in first and then the higher.

Thanks mate.

 

[Phar Ace]

If he plays back he will go big but if in the middle he will cop finn tag. If no fin then i will captain 100%. I think thats where everyone is at. But nobody knows where he will play

Let's be a little objective for a moment:

Finn Maginness

Round 1 Plays Essendon as the Sub - shocks all as he was expected to go to Merrett and didn't - comes on at 3/4 time for paltry 14

Round 2 Plays Melbourne and tags an obviously injured Oliver - keeps him to 86 and scores 57 himself

Round 3 Geelong - not selected to play

Round 4 Plays Collingwood and tags NDaicos until half time - "keeps" him to 95 and score 64 himself

Round 5 Plays Goldy and tags Flanders but he gets off the chain and scores 125, while Finn gets a healthy 78 and scores 3 goals

I think the more Finn plays to impact the game, as Mitchell is now expecting of him, the more his opponent has a chance of being "off the chain":

Harry Sheezel
Round 1 Plays GWS at Spotless split HB to Mid with no obvious cover and goes 120 (31 / 44 / 17 / 28)
Round 2 Plays Fremantle under the lid at half back with no obvious cover and goes 121 (26 / 46 / 19 / 30)
Round 3 Plays Carlton under the lid down back with no obvious cover and goes 126 (32 / 34 / 30 / 30)
Round 4 Plays Brisbane at Norwood down back with Zac Bailey for company and goes 121 (18 / 46 / 38 /19)
Round 5 Plays Geelong at Geelong down back, and goes 159 (42 / 28 / 37 /57) and kicks a goal

That so called worrisome tag could be effective, but the odds are with Sheezel when you look at it objectively because Maginness has tagged less, and when he does is being held more accountable by the coach to have his own effect. This, quite apart from Maginness, is one of the softest games Sheezel has had in 6 weeks when you look at who he has played so far.

 

[Phar Ace]

Just Martin (VC) and Dawson tonight. Have two backup C options in Dunks and Anderson

Noice options!

 

[DenieD]

Is she Irish, or DenieD ?

It's funny you say that because I am also part irish.

So the answer is yes.

 

[dplggr47]

Sheeze named in the midfield.

That Oliver 86 is the equivalent of him going 186 last year. Gone at 50 average last 2 weeks lmao

 

[Phar Ace]

That hand was a bigger worry than was let on I suspect.

 

[Barnzy]

Only Martin tonight with Crouch riding the pine like he usually does.

Watch on Dawson and what mid time he gets. At some point he needs to step up as captain and lead the team like he did last year.

If he does that soon and he's in the low 900 to 800k range I'm buying him

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Play Kerch or Graham on field?

 

[Phar Ace]

Play Kerch or Graham on field?

Graham less of a chance to be subbed - has more score on the board from the past two - at least you can wait until Sunday and check whether Graham subbed....

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Swallow to be sub again, he knows his role

Finn listed as follower same as sheezal. Damm if ever we needed a sign.

 

[BennyFC]

Think you have to lock in Sheez as C this week, and not doing it is just overthinking:

• He is the highest scoring player in the game
• Hawthorn is the second easiest team to score against
• If he roams around half-back, we know he will score points
• If he goes into the midfield, Hawthorn is comfortably the easiest team for midfielders to score against in the league
• I still don't think he will go into the midfield - Will Phillips is a pure midfielder and has replaced Wardlaw, LDU and Powell will retains their spots in the CBA rotation, and Lazzaro/Simpkin/McKercher will run through there as well
• Why would you experiment with Sheezel in the midfield for the first time this year during a game where you are actually a good shot for a win? Surely not the game for experimental selections

I also need to show loyalty to him after his 159 as C last week, it would be blasphemy to steal the captaincy away from him after that showing. Lock him in for a 170

Counter-point: This is the first game this season that the Hawks think at the start of the game they are a good chance at winning it.

Look at what Bulldogs did last night. I expect Hawks to turn up big time against North and make it much harder to score against them.

I’m locking him in. If he goes 60 I’m still averaging 110 with him as Captain

Counter-counter-point: Sheezel is the GOAT

Wardlaw rest maybe Sheezel slots into the mid mix.

Clarko v his old team. He's not going into this game half cocked

 

[Phar Ace]

Clarko v his old team. He's not going into this game half cocked

3/4's perhaps

 

[amazingjoshy]

Kerch and sanders to Garcia and Graham might hurt this week. Up the top not everyone has gawn either

But realised with the 500k, I can do Massimo (on my bench) to daicos, and Dempsey (hard run coming up) to a fwd premo. That's 2 rookies off field next week hopefully can stay around the 400 ranks this week and full launch

Btw I got inside word Finn is tagging sheezel, fyi for everyone

I feel like the "Finn might be tagging someone" threat is way more influential fantasy wise than Finn actually ever tagging anyone successfully

 

[Corkintheocean]

Martin VC may have been the go.

 

[Coasters7]

Dawson getting dogged because his teammates are shite. Is 12-15 points short of where he should be
