Round 1 Discussion

[Jiska]

You wouldn't have the rookie on the bench to really accentuate the irony would you?

Abso-****ing-lutely I do.

Has the E on him though. Not that that helps.

 

[pulpdriver]

The player in your avatar looks like one of those Easter Island heads.

I often use goofy looking pics of players I rate for my avatar.

2am this morning I swapped Newnes for Adcock and Higgins for Docherty, but went back to how I had it 15 minutes before the game started.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH

 

[GOAUS!]

3/224

McIntosh 120
Cripps 53
Martin 51

 

[ManWithNoName]

Van Berlo into Smith, Birch into Gibson, Hogan into Lamb. I'm $900 short of turning Cripps into Daisy. ****.

Edit: No I'm not. Karnezis into Lamb instead.

Further edit: Upon research, I'll stick with Cripps. Looks like he'll average comparable to Daisy for half the price. I reckon Daisy's ankle will limit him.

 

[SnappyHappy]

Maric 91 DT 82 SC - doesn't look good for the new point scoring rule hmmm

 

[Gibbsy]

McIntosh on my bench and Jaksch on my field

Could be worth taking a massive punt on a Ballchambers/Leuy combo.

I've got the E on Mcintosh too. Decision time. Keep Hamling in the hope he plays soon?

 

[The_Steadier]

McIntosh on my bench and Jaksch on my field

Even more troubling is Jaksch in your team

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Maric 91 DT 82 SC - doesn't look good for the new point scoring rule hmmm

Going to keep a close eye on rucks over the next two weeks. Maric might end up becoming tbc or luey and spend the cash elsewhere

 

[TheOz]

Reckon it might be worth just biting the bullet on this one and hope Saad scores something respectable like an 80 so it's only a 40 point loss. Don't want to end up with someone like Fuller from last season stinking up your bench.

Christ, I hope not. $1.1 million spent in the ruck for me.

Rucks were scoring quite well in the NAB. Thought Maric would score better.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Thought Maric would get around 90

 

[Jiska]

Ruckman both scored poorly from pretty good games. May not be worth spending big there.

Welcome to the discussion Mr. Hindsight

 

[The_Steadier]

not unhappy with Cripps- Daisy ensured his JS even further and he beat his breakeven.

He'll be fine.

 

[fantasyunit]

Just back Saad to limit the damage I reckon. If for whatever reason Hamling doesn't get a run, a trade is a high price to pay for 50 points, give or take a few.

 

[TheOz]

They had a very high, somewhat unrealistic H/o adv %, look at some of the scrubs some of these blokes rucked against during the NAB.

I've got Ryder/Minson and Belly in the forward line, I'm contemplating dumping Minson to Leuenberged and using the $200k.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Have never had Martin ever and was an easy decision to leave him out again

Just can't string a full game together, then on occasions he sits an entire game out such as tonight

Yeah I never pick him early since my mate saw him loading up on booze in a bottle shop 2 preseasons ago lol I figure he might need a little longer than some to get up to scratch. I actually think he might have ADHD so gets bored easy when standing there watching campaigners like 90% of the spuds on the ground tonight , give him a challenge and he's a superstar.

 

[timtamWB]

Pretty tempted to **** off Cripps.

This is why I need to do research and not just pick them cause others are.

Also boo Martin, eh Maric.

 

[TheOz]

Welcome to the discussion Mr. Hindsight

Not sure exactly what he said that was "hindsight". Only been one game, not hindsight at all yet.

How's your backline structure?
