Random Question Thread (Part 4)

Can anyone please provide me with the details of the substitutes for the Sydney/Fremantle game?

I've got Barlow & Hannebery in but not sure on who was subbed off or when.

Also if they let me know what quarter Mellington/Duffield got injured I'd be obliged.

in the bye rounds what's an "acceptable" amount of duck eggs on the field?? Because im up **** creek in round one but I feel I wouldnt be alone in that regard with the teams having the bye that round (GWS a key one)?. as it stands Im loosing 15 players week 1.. 7 week 2 and 8 week 3. Do I just sacrifice a week?? I'm only interested in going well in my league of mates. I'm a first time DT player so any information would be great

If you're going for the league win then I wouldn't worry about it.

Can anybody tell me what last year's winner total score was - or at least their weekly average.

If anyone can provide those statistics for the 2010 winner as well that would be great too. I've been searching for hours.

My question: What is the point of paying for the analyser?

I have got the free fortnight thing going at the moment. Trying to look at BE's, price changes etc...tells me it predicts Giles will get 91 in each game this season (his average), and that Barlow will get 68, with a couple of 71's. There is a 0.0% chance of Barlow getting his BE-158. Now, there isn't much of a chance, but it's not impossible.

I know it's very hard to predict what someone will get, but surely this service that people are paying for can look at past history of Barlow vs other teams, and if that doesn't provide a big enough subject size, how similar midfielders (or midfielders from his team) score?

I also think the 'most popular trades' section is worthless.

Is there any great benefit to having it? Is it very possible to win without it?

Yes it is worthless and 100% possible to win without it. Don't pay them anything. There are free alternatives that are better available for everything except monitoring most popular trades which are usually "most obvious trades".

I can tell you the 2011 winner scored 52899 at an average of 2204.13. Not sure about 2010 though.

Well, I'm predicting that Barlow will go very close to achieving his 158 B/E this week and my predictions are FREE!

And incorrect

I think Barlow (unvested) can get 120. But not 158.

Ok, so it's not just me. This free trial layout is shit as well. They need like a homepage where you go to that explains everything you're looking at.

So are mine. Soon I won't have them because I'm not going to pay for them.
I hope Barlow doesn't get his BE, in fact I hope he has a quiet game! But don't want his price dropping too much, then Dr Dreamteam will tell the masses.

 

[macmate]

I am considering trading dickson for either hawkins or whitecross... anyone have any opinions on which i should be going for?

 

[iluvparis]

Not Hawkins!

 

[macmate]

hey the numbers and his form suggest i should be going for him, but as a hawks supporter i am finding it very hard...... do you have a reason why i shouldn't go hawkins?

 

[iluvparis]

Generally there are 1 to 2 (max) key forwards who finish in the top 7 points wise come years end.

Do you think he will be one of them?

 

[macmate]

no but the new breed of key forward/rucks scoring better and are starting to really get big numbers on a more consistant basis. Whitecross could have his midfield time cut a little by the return of hodge and shiels and he sometimes gets a lockdown role on a half back etc..... my head hurts.... maybe i will just upgrade dickson to a premium, i have the money but wanted to save that for some upgrades in the coming round.

Ok first year playing and I searched through the FAQ's and couldnt find an answer. If you have a player who is injured and cant return to the game, does your sub come into play??

Edit: Sub as in emergency?

No. The Emergency covers NON-playing players that you have on the field. E.g. if your player was a late-out then your emergency score counts.

 

[Keystone agony]

Just looking at some of my favourite coaches and ones i follow just to see how they are going. So i came across stubz and i think he has thrown his team in and quit this year?

Stubz may want to comment if that is not the case but it says N/A for his ranking now after a poor start and poor initial team he looks like he has thrown in the towel and hung the boots up this year.

Thanks heaps..

am i living the dream?

What???

 

[Spider Klein]

On the AFL Website where they have the leading goal kickers, If you click on Disposals it has Dylan Shiel getting 116 disposals so far, Seems weird.

When trading a player, how can you search for a player without the need to scroll through the list provided? Cheers.

hit the OPEN FILTERS tab and start typing the name of the player you want and he will show up on the right.

Is it worth trading out Martin?

I think I'm going to keep Fyfe unless I hear anything, but Martin seems to be highly under-performing. I could do a swap for Robinson or Sidebottom, surely it would produce more points and at the moment it's almost a straight swap, but the question is, is it worth the trade?

Plenty of others must be in the same position?
