[Spider Eater]

Hey Spider Eater where’s our Round 9 SuperCoach song?

Couldn't get my addicted to love parody working.
So we'll settle for this one.

Watching the live scores it appeared they cooked it and had given out the 3300 points with about 4 mins left. Might explain some of the post game scaling

Back about 5 years ago we got no live scores just an update at the end of each quarter.
Now rather than melts every quarter we get them for every kick.
I'm starting to think I prefer the old way.

100% this.
That’s why I only look at the scores at the end of every qtr.
It will do your head in following it live and seeing the scores fluctuating due to scaling.
If following the scores treat them as a guide and realise they’re not set in stone and game situation effects the scoring.
Keeping that in mind you won’t get as angry.

Hmmm. was hoping for at least one good bench score, didn't seem too much to ask-going to wear Harrys score so I can take Cripps 133 as Captain.
Looking at it now should have traded George, but hate last minute changes and it's just a short term thing - really hate doing a panic trades, never seem to pay off- Have Walsh/Cripps/Gawn on field and Clothsy against North so OKish View attachment 1984217

No, No No, I was having a Dumb moment (Dumb few hours /days actually)

Knew Sweet was out, and locked at R3, but he isn't really-made him Captain, Grundy E, Garcia on field in place of Harry-no need to accept mediocrity.
I can dream big now-at least for a few more hours anyway- 3/494 seems much better-
Can go back to sleep now-that would have annoyed me with such a dumb move. (well till Garcia scores 12 points anyway)

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Getting a bit over all the points whingers.
This place used to be funny

I'm getting kinda annoyed with all the whinging about Ryans score last week, He did exactly what we want all our players to do- accurate/ efficient Disposals, in the game and not missing-For ****s sake he played a good game-give credit where credit is due.

And yes I'm Biased, have enjoyed a little smile about my Captains score, and being continually reminded about it, but over it now

 

[Chronz]

Most people have been frustrated at times with campaignerdata, let's he honest. It's ok for an eyebrow raising score to get scrutinised every now and again, it's just part of the game and a coping mechanism.
I don't think anyone here does it every week but a few having a shit year should be able to blow off some steam occasionally. Maybe the odd puppy posting like a few legendary campaigners have done throughout the years (sorry again mods ) can ease the pain for some.

 

[Lord De Goey]

They should go play afl fantasy instead. Oh wait, he still scored 109…

 

[Sherman41]

Oh boy, just checked scores…. Best not say anything though

 

[keithrichards]

VC Gawn Walsh and Howes last night. Howes fading was a bit of pain.

New recruits Serong and Ryan, along with Fyfe tonight.

 

[VainGlorious]

Promising signs from King Piglet.

The good:

26 touches @ 73%
8 tackles
21 CBA’s

From roughly 75 % game time

The upside:

Had only 9 contested possies
2 clearances
3 FA.

Gawn VC meh
Walsh - Very nice.
Clarry - 87 ain’t the end of the world.

Big night tonight

New recruit Sexy Tom Stewart
Peeney
ManBundy
H Young

Have a splendid Friday you magnificent beasts.

 

[VainGlorious]

Oh and if Luke Ryan could not go ****ing tropical that’d be great, mmmmkay.

[AFDogs]

I've finally made a good start to the round with Petracca going large and Gawn not destroying me. It's a shame I'm copping a fat donut.

Not really. Windsor scored a goal to get them back in the game and went up 1 point. Unlike Max who went up 50. And Oliver who got 15 for a free kick and kick. CD have their favourites.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

I was close to trading him last week too.

I traded him out the week before when his 3 week average was 50 and he was set to start losing cash. I really enjoyed that $60K profit over 6 weeks (and paltry scores - given I thought he looks a player (he really does) so fielded him a few times).

 

[MrChristo]

The upside:

Had only 9 contested possies

I really don't think it is an upside any more, my main Vein.

(Without getting into a painful conversation [not necessarily with you!] about averages...)
...he really is operating in that 9-11 CP window this year.
I just think that's where he's at.

 

[Hawk88]

Piggy passed the eye test and he had Hollands following him all game

Those 3 FA and slightly down on contested didnt get him to 100

Not to concerns given the price we paid

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I'm so relieved, Little Tommy Green is playing this week .....I know it was touch & go, but honestly, it looked only a minor ankle tweak to my eye

 

[Hawkboy62]

Sub par with Oliver, Gawn(vc) and McKay last night.

Make or break tonight starting with Stewart, Holmes, Dempsey, [Clark}, Butters, JHF.

Then Young, Clark, Serong, Sharp, Grundy, Heeney.

Then up 3am Saturday to take a friend to the airport.

I held because I was lucky enough to see him live each week and he looked good. Was getting to the right positions and good in contests but just wasn't being used and coughing up the ball a lot. Held faith more than I would with most rookies, but again the DPP helped, and the fact the rest of my team was a cluster**** and Libba kept having weeks off.

 

[Hawk88]

Not entirely SC related but how bad has the umpiring been in red time this year?

Feels like the quality of umpiring has steadily decreased over time (even coming from a low base lol)

With more scrutiny on their decisions it certainly feels like they just put the whistle away as its easier to live with a non call then an actual incorrect call

 

[Bollox]

In theory, BigBoy Darcy out should be half decent for Jackson as well as Grundy tonight.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Wet in the west tonight? Fingers crossed as I'm rolling with Jackson, Serong, Fyfe, Young and Heeney around the stoppages and opps has Luke Ryan.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Not really. Windsor scored a goal to get them back in the game and went up 1 point. Unlike Max who went up 50. And Oliver who got 15 for a free kick and kick. CD have their favourites.

After that important goal he was on 74 pts, then his score went backwards to 71, and then got scaled up a measly 2 pts, they just gave all the points to the big name players

 

[Scythe94]

371/4. Just going to have to cop Howes' score with Graham out, as I don't want to change my trade plans to maybe pick up an extra 10-20 points from another rookie.

Fair bit happening tonight – Stewart, Houston, Serong, Jackson, Fyfe, Heeney.
