Round 1 Discussion

[Bandicoot]

What an arseh*le Chris Scott is?
He doesn't play Steven in Marsh 1 which is fair enough.
He then scores 90 in 76 minutes of game time and seems a certain DT selection.
He then has a week off so he'll be cherry ripe for round 1 but Scott decides we'll give him a rest. Why in fu***cking hell does he need a rest?
I'm sure he does it just to f*^#ck with us in DT.

Anyway, tonight i have:

Ed Curnow
Dusty
Doch

[TheRednWhite]

I seriously never learn....Cripps in for me (again).

 

[Bandicoot]

Two days ago, I only had Doc and Pickett but Dusty and Lynch have since been added.

I think Lynch will have a brilliant season.

I think Lynch will have a brilliant season.

Hope you're right. I do expect him to average 80+.

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Can anyone remind me how the captain loophole works? (if its still a thing)

 

[Bradkli]

So many rookies picked...interesting...impossible to pick the ones that won’t be dropped next week...these guys I can’t see holding their spots for more then a couple of weeks:

Cavarra
Mcinenery
Budarick
Georgiades
Brown
Taylor

Guys like McAsey and king should play most of the season but they will score 30-40 max each week.

 

[Bradkli]

No Sinclair for the swans...Naismith the sole ruck...he will cop a hiding from ROB but could he still score a 75 then be a decent option moving forward?

 

[Bandicoot]

Most of the rookies are named on extended benches. We'll have to wait until tomorrow night to see who really is available.

May well be but what's the alternative?

 

[Bandicoot]

Amazing that M Pickett's ownership is at 78.8% meaning that 22.2% don't have him. So that's 22.2% of the competition have absolutely no idea as to what they're doing.

 

[Bandicoot]

You'd think the AFL site could simply have a post of "all the teams".
The new set up of the site is atrocious.
In fact, every time they change the format, it just gets worse.
Would be far better to go back to the way it was 5 years ago.

On top of all that, when you do click on the post of team changes, it takes bloody 5 minutes to download.
Bloody crap.

Have had Naismith R2 with Ceglar fwd for a while now, feeling better about it now that Sinkers is not in

It's ****ing horrendous

There is one issue with having Ceglar as backup.
If Naismith gets injured he will be traded out so the only games he may miss could be when they are playing multiple games over a few weeks. Trouble is that Ceglar could be rested in the same week.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Someone tell me they're starting Cripps tonight, he's underpriced and he can't be worse than last year surely.

it's way too complicated predicting when players will be rested. Some are starting NN and I think he is much more likely to be rested. I have to have someone as a backup because if Naismith gets injured early I can't get any ruck to replace him

 

[Bandicoot]

I'm surprised that Sharp didn't get a game this week with GCS. He couldn't have possibly done more in the games that he played in the Marsh series.

I'm not taking the pessimistic outlook of him getting injured.

Ceglar can get in my fwd line in his own right, not just as a back up. I think he can go 85+ as solo ruck.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Walsh taking every mark and Cripps nothing, what a surprise

Told you two weeks ago Walsh would average 105+ and of course I don’t pick him... Cripps will still score 110

I said the same thing about Walsh. He is going to be a top 10 mid this year. Will never get tagged. I 100% should have got him instead of Cripps but went with the "name"

 

[CJApples87]

Have the players been given a directive not to tackle?
