Round 1 Discussion

[RichoTheGreat1]

Judging Franklin or Rohan's scoring potential on that game is not a great idea. Conditions and delivery were rubbish for large chunks of the day. Both will improve.

No need to panic on him at the moment people - had a below average/sluggish game with rubbish delivery to him and other forwards - he scores 50-70 per week i will take that until the bye rounds all day long

 

[JPod_31]

If McCarthy or Honeychurch play this week and score well, Bye Bye Rohan (red smiley is me )

 

[captainCOOL]

Rohan will score 50 all year, much better forward options available for cheaper. JKH (if he gets a game) will probably score the same for 60k less

 

[rocker_oz33]

LOL ^^ Rohan was never going the set the SC world on fire never hes really been a great sc scorer.With lack of fwd rookies with dodgey JS rohan has soild js we paid the extra 50k for the js.In a perfect world..> non spilt round and kersten was fit and ready to roll and 2/3 others rookies were picked rohan would have been left on the shelf.

Rohan = Job Security.

What's Honeychurch's like?

Some rash souls in these realms.

 

[Jars458]

McVeigh and Pyke slightly dissapointing but Rohan scored what I exepcted. It was either him or Impey for me and I preferred his better JS as I judged it.

 

[captainCOOL]

Or you could just stack the fwds, leave out Rohan and have a bench of either 2 of Impey (looks set to get a few games early after this week), JKH or LMac (both should get enough early games).

Who said anything about Honeychurch?

 

[rocker_oz33]

I thought thats about right for pyke hes normally av 85-88 what did he get 94? close to 10 above hes nomal/last year av.I went for him over lobbe because hes more of a athlete and should be soild scorer.

Poster above you did. Wasn't answering you in particular (hence the lack of quotation) just addressing the Rohan thing generally. For me, 1) his JS is good and 2) that was a bad game for the Swans in every aspect, real and fantasy-related. I'm happy with Rohan for now. Just another opinion.

I don't think JHK will outscore Rohan myself.

 

[Jiska]

Got him and glad of it...best 21 slow burning cow

Although arguably you need fast burning cows with the bye rounds so much earlier this year.

 

[ArdentEagle]

10/1218 (c)
Still have the following players I expect good scores out of:
Hanley
Enright
Mitchell
Naitanui
Rockliff
Dangerfield
Roughead
*Wright*

The usual suspect leftovers of;
Ellis
Michie
Tyson
McDonald

2200-2300 is feasible I suppose

Rohan = Job Security.

What's Honeychurch's like?

May debut later in the year.
Some touting him for round 1, personally I'm not convinced (Hunter is well ahead)

Sorry, that's what I meant - that Honeychurch's JS was poor to non-existent right now, and Rohan, while not pumping massive scores, is comfortably best 22. Trying to make a point against some of the more over the top round 1 reactions.

A mid-season debut for Honeychurch would be an ideal downgrade target though!

Yeah, Rohan has the JS which is why he is most teams I'd suspect.

Honbeychurch may not have the JS this year even if he does debut, but the dual position could be quite handy later in the season

 

[Faz 2000]

Rohan might just be perma-bench, to be honest. It's not that I thought he was going to tear things apart, but I couldn't see anything else there. I'm sure it's there, but I couldn't see it.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Kade Kolodjashnij played in the NEAFL on the weekend and had 45 touches.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Gonna burn a couple of trades early to turn Swan into Ablett and get Swallow back in. Talked myself into picking Hurn over Swallow despite liking Swallow all summer. Hurn to Swallow gives me enough cash to turn Swan back into Gaz. I'd be happy with my midfield then; Gaz, Libba, Cornes, Beams and Cross.

And if Hurn gets 120 next week?

Wait until the end of the round!

That's the gamble. I can do something like Petrie -> Rough right now to get Gaz in next week. But I'd honestly prefer Petrie. And I'm still not entirely sure why I changed from Hurn to Swallow.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

1385 with 9 and Captain still to play!

That includes Langdon on the bench and Rohan on the field!!

I can take Sandi and his 127 as captain or roll the dice with Danger or Libba....

Have kept enough coin in the bank to turn $107k rookie into KK if need be...

I thought Rohan was stiff for his score. Deserved a bit more. Looked pretty dangerous and got well up the ground to get some midfield possies as well.
