Game Day 2024 Round One Discussion

[morningbrown]

Carroll good, Williams bad, Cerra meh. We go again tonight.

 

[Sherman41]

So…. Any chance it can be best 18 this round now?

 

[Nelso]

Who makes the cut Nelso? And who’s the likely sub?

[6] Kane Farrell, [44] Jackson Mead, [31] Francis Evans, [23] Dylan Williams, [7] Jase Burgoyne, [28] Willem Drew, [11] Jeremy Finlayson, [24] Jordon Sweet

The bench will be Farrell, Drew, Evans and Mead. Williams would be sub.

 

[NinjaSwan]

3 players tonight for a combined score of 101. Another 3 months wasted. Why do I do this to myself every year? May as well just create a first team second week of March.

Even worse that we would’ve been better off forgetting to make a team yesterday and starting today.

 

[Quazza]

Brought gibcus in about 10 mins before the bounce.

Sorry team

Good to see the collective wisdom of a hundred thousand super coaches missed this gem

Analysis schmalysis

We’re nothing more than chickens running around with our heads cut off in the eyes of the SC gods

Vlastuin would be one of the most popular picked if he didn't injure himself every second weekend.

Impressive game from Cripps. Where was this last year

Brownlow hangover Jisk. This was proven to be a thing over the preseason by the great work of Loose at HB

Edit: Neale is already off to a flying start this season to maintain the hoodoo!

 

[iDon]

Little reshuffle but have got in Lyons. Just think it would be silly not to at his price and if he does another solid hitout can't see him being dropped anytime soon.

Unfortunately losing Tom down back but that could change and might ditch another Mid.

Urgh

 

[Cold Sober]

One of mine does as well, which is bizarre considering we can’t even see each other’s teams.

Like having sex with someone who has a bag on their head.

 

[King Max]

1/51.

Wanted a 70/80 from Williams, will get better over time.
VC Daicos/Green into Bont.

Gibby sitting on the bench, see you next year buddy.

The only reason Cripps fired was he found out I'd finally got rid of him.

 

[54Dogs]

"Extra mid so they have to play other roles to get their game time up" doesn't sound ideal

 

[pincrusher]

Something funky going on with the head to head scores on SC.

It will put my team there once the highest scores of the round are known

Is that the way this year?

Normally my head to head scores are live.

You won't see H2H scores until after the last game when all teams are locked in. Same every year with round 1. It actually says it above, where your oppositions players would normally be listed.

 

[pincrusher]

Fantastic start for me. 0/0. Have to trade Gibcus, but got a couple of weeks to work out who to. Feel for the player though. Will be two years missed when he makes it back.

But Neale was sleeping with the umps .
While Bont was looking though the windows ...

I put N.Daicos in my mids and turned A.Brayshaw into Short. Going to backfire spectacularly when A.Brayshaw puts up 150 this weekend as is SC tradition.

Nightmare start with Short and Gibcus on field, Campbell on bench.

1 game in and already earmarked 2 trades. By the time the weekend is done I'll've logged out never to return.

Naicos has been icing up a lot lately after games... You might be on to something!

Not the best move given Bray bye alot better than shorty s.

But we all get tight chols and make the odd mistake

 

[Spacedog]

How many premiums with early byes is everyone running? I have 6 currently (Daicos, Green, Gawn, Grundy, Flanders, Heeney) which feels close to too many

Five for me

All good. Seen reports of Brayshaw being shifted to the wing. Had him last year too and was filthy at his first half of the season.

Wasn't fussed about the bye situation so much as was planning on switching Daicos back to defense prior to Rd 6 and trade out Gibus/Howe so I'd only have Short missing. And... Short seemed to be in ripping form so far and thought he'd be $600k+ by then so wanted him now.

I have all of those except Heeney.
