Game Day 2024 Round 19 Discussion

[Petrify]

Bombers fans on the socials eating them alive.
Get their frustration, it's not like the players didn't have a crack.
Rough one all around for Essendon

Nah there's like 4-6 players who just don't give a shit and the rest of the side is paying for it. Perkins gets subbed on and jogs around while his man gets 4 clean clearances. Stringer just complaining the whole time about forward entries.

Then there's guys like Durham, Caldwell and Zach who bust their ass to cover the deficiencies of others.

Anyways, do I take Downlings score, roll the dice on Humphries or trade Touk to someone cheaper than him?

 

[gutsroy]

Gee you'd hate spending $500k+ on a 23rd when Dowling and Humphries are scoring like this

Dowling might have an ok role again, too
Maybe Tomorrow Cam I burr up now?

Bank it for sure

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Take Dowling.
McKercher sore and Dowling has gifted folks two bigguns, wouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth.
Would only pass up if forced to generate an extra unique in a cashie

cheers mate, will see how the fitness test goes tomorrow and take it from there

 

[JT_the_Man]

I nearly traded in Keays and I don’t know whether I’m annoyed for not backing myself in or incredibly relieved because I also own Caldwell.

Caldwell is all good – passed concussion test.

Wow, that's a tough one....
The Bear looks smooth as, but an 83's an 83.
Definitely wouldn't trade, an 83 is in the offing and Touk might get back faster (but have seen like three different estimates), would take that probably and see what the buying is like next week if the Touk update is no good.
Bear vs 83, honestly not sure, would probs take 83

Ah **** now I wish I bought Keays in.

On the Dons topic, hadn't noticed Perk, but Stringer is diva central
Zero defensive intent unless he can collar a bloke without taking more than 1.5 steps, and he gives blokes a rinse a fair bit.

 

[balmainforever]

looks like i'm taking Dowling over rowell.
Can't trust him to get to 83

 

[Plugger35]

So Caldwell is still alive for next week but Dawson is dead for next week, swings and roundabouts.

I could have sworn they said Caldwell was ruled out with concussion so why was he subbed off and didn't come back on?

Questions should be asked of Brad Scott for that blunder amongst all the other questions he should be asked for losing the game.

Had to do the HIA test. Would have missed most of the qrt so they used the sub.

15 minutes to take the test so they subbed him out for fresh legs.
In hindsight he might’ve been handy in the final 5 minutes.

Think he would have had to go downstairs for the longer test and by the time all that would have been done, how much time would they have had left?
Maybe just a decision to get the fresh legs on ASAP assuming he'd have very little time left if he came back.
But just a theory

 

[Hawkboy62]

With no players involved I had no interest in watching the game, but a good result for the Hawks and the usual suspects didn't go big. Dawson, Caldwell with concussion issues helps my SC team, plus Hawks, but some poor sods may have both.

I brought in a nonplaying mid forward this week, relying on Rowell, Freijah and Mannagh for Mid/Fwd cover but it may be prudent to bring in Trew instead. Just cause bad things can happen, sometimes in twos or threes. Have Humphries at D7, and can also cover Naicos and Young with Holmes, without tapping my last trade.

It's only Friday so plenty of time for more carnage this round.

Yeah that's the problem with a player getting a HIA test in the last quarter, when they are off for so long you bring the sub on.

I can understand the thinking from Brad Scott, he probably isn't taking into consideration that I had the VC on Caldwell tonight.

 

[Hawkboy62]

I see that Caldwell is okay for next week and fine with that. I have Stewart, and why he didn't get called off the ground last week, after his head clash, was nearly criminal. Don't ask - don't tell is alive and well.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Scoops gutsroy you were saying on benny McKay.

 

[goondog]

Zerrett VC score not ideal. Do I have the cajones to stick the C on Curnow against North

 

[Caztheconquerer]

SuperCoach is becoming a lot more luck based due to 1. The concussion rule and whether or not your lucky to avoid it or not with players you have selected.

2. The stupid bloody sub rule, it needs to go asap. Just make it 5 on the bench

3. Tackle suspensions, one week its players getting 3 weeks and other weeks its players getting off on the same thing. The rule interpretation week to week is so inconsistent.

Love the game but if your lucky/unlucky with these things it’s a huge swing in where you sit

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

You do you bud. But do we need to do a welfare check on Scoops today? Not sure you can really blame Dawson for coping a head knock can you? Everything good with you mate?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Yeah I'm weighing the same thing up lol. These are difficult times being the president of the Red Bull fan club. Considering handing in my resignation tbh.

 

[keithrichards]

3/300

Late minute switch to Merrett VC was a fail. Got talked into it by the pre-game segment they did on him

Current projected 2418 with Neale C

 

[Sherman41]

3/298

Zerrett left a 120+ out there.
Cladwell unlucky, was going 120
Fartin went missing in the last half.

Downing (looped) will consider taking it

Cashie opponent doesn’t have Zerrett or Caldwell, dodged a bullet.

, Steele, Rozee and Walsh.

Need to bench one and not E them.

Probably Steele I guess but he does have a weak Eagles side.
