AFL RDT Round 1 discussion

Damn, does that mean I have to field Meek again?!

At least Meek is playing against Flynn so it's probably a 50/50.

 

[Bandicoot]

Gaff must have upset a few of his teammates this week, He has been completely in the clear on a few occasions this quarter yet they simply refuse to kick it to him

In Perth against Flynn I'll take Meek

Now what to do about Rowell, awkward price

His latest quarter was some of the cheapest most disgusting junk you will ever see.

 

[TheRednWhite]

You do realise that Hunter is playing against Gawn next week????

I don't know how but just watch him beat Flynn. This games has no logic, surely you know that by now. Who could have seen Flynn outscore Hunter today by more than 50+?

100%
I have never seen anything like that in my life. Literally ignored every single time and they butchered it going forward. I really hoped the eagles would lose that game for doing that to Gaff

 

[Tippaz]

a lowly 1776...

Grundy(R1) + Flynn(R2) - good strategy (i hope)

Cox + Bruhn + Rowell + Green - not good enough

Dangerfield

Gaff absolutely putrid. Worst performance I have ever seen from him. His teammates were a disgrace but also Gaff early on did not look himself at all. His role of being burnt is a big concern, have no choice but to hold him. Every single year there is at least one expensive premo mid that shafts me, every year.

another spud and will get dropped for sure. This is what happens when you change your structure late, I had no better option that to get him. I wanted Drew but couldn't afford it. Tyson genuinely looked scared whenever he got the ball which is not ideal for a fantasy pick

Grundy pathetic.

also another spud. He could somehow survive after Gola got injured, otherwise he was a lock to get dropped as well.

Flynn on bench, Hunter on field. Imagine losing 50+ points from that, just not fair.

Well done to: Hind, Ziebell and Crae (C)

Gotta be happy with that score

this is one for the pool room...never been ranked this high ever.




Also currently ranked number 1 swans supporter, feel like retiring on this high.

 

[Dugong]

Disappointing to see the total number of players in the comp this year. Only a touch under 8000.

Flynn would have had you in the top 2 or 3!

The only guy in your squad I don't like is Tyson, and he won't drop $$ anyway, you're in good shape to stay in the top pack

yep just cannot believe how much I was punished for that Flynn vs Hunter decision, just ridiculous. Gaff was so poor as well. 80 odd points gone begging.

Yes, Tyson was awful and I need to get rid off him ASAP

Don't like to peak too early lol

Agree it's a shame about the lack of numbers.

What’s the plan with tyson? I was coin tossing between he and heppell. Tyson is my main concern right now. Heppell actually looked pretty good

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

2061 with Gaff & Tyson stinkers. Missed Rowe and James Jordan.


Had ZWilliams riding the pine so i’m happy with that.

 

[Bradkli]

2057 with Gulden and Highmore on bench, campbell and Kozi on the field...cost me 80+ points...went with berry over jordan as well..thought with Viney and Melksham coming back he would be dropped after 1-2 games. No chance that's happening now.

Gawn and Jordan spud Clark the early worries.

Early trades looking like Danger to Stephenson and Kozi to Markov or Sholl- loved their roles.

What were the odds of us both being in the top 50 after round 1?

You are much better placed than me in the long term though. Gawn should repay the faith soon and then you’re laughing.

My record is 63rd rd 1 2019 but look what happened the next week...

Yeah I full expect to drop back down. I have major issues with my team: Tyson, Gaff role being shite, Clark. I also cannot expect guys like Hind and the rookie R2 to be that good every week.
Stephenson, Markov and Caldwell were also big misses probably...will need to try and get 2 of them in this week with the Danger downgrade

Stephenson was my one big win! I'm usually crap in rd 1 apart from that one year, and this year was really crap with guys like Sier and De Goey on field plus Flynn and Gulden on bench, Rowell injured and holding Z Williams, sorry-looking score of 1763. I never trade rd 2 because it always ends badly, gonna hold Rowell for a week as a loophole and hope the other losers lift their game. Rd 3 probably pick up the 2 best rookies for Rowell and maybe Sier and stockpile cash for ruck upgrades because I'm not sure how long Hunter and Meek will last, Gawn and co will be cheap by rd 5-6.

I think Clark will improve with Danger and maybe Menegola out, if not he's a good trade to Markov, and your Gaff will be fine, he has the odd shocker but usually consistent.

It will continue to reduce every year. As each year goes by, they will get zero new coaches but continue to lose some due to natural attrition.
I don't care how few there are as long as it continues.
I decided to put a team in fantasy this year but the screen format is crap. Players are placed on the field purely in the order you selected them. It impossible to figure out your structure.
It is such a shame that the best comp of the three by far is RDT yet it will soon die.

I refuse to play Fantasy, absolute dog's breakfast of a game and I can't stand those idiot Traders

If Sportsdeck actually spend a cent on marketing, they wouldn't lose everyone
