[Iceman!]

772 from 6 + (c)

Will bloody take that to start

 

[Anzac16]

Honestly De Goey was fine in the first half, had mid minutes and looked good. Then Bucks drags him to the forward half for the 2nd half where he was no impact.

Useless coaching.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

287/3 Grundy VC, Dunks with Scott 52 on the pine.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Daniel you splendid little man. Helmet powers finally came through.

JDG...this is legit my worst last min trade prior to round 1. Lost 46 POINTS from trading Dunks...absolutely incredible. Like I can cop a small loss but why do I get punished this hard for every bad decision. Just incredible, it really is

 

[Zevon]

have Macrae, Dunks, Daniel and Crisp tonight.

All I’m asking is a combined 500 points from those guys... really not an unreasonable expectation I don’t think

Well sheesh I was kidding, but they weren't far off...

I'm 4/443 thanks to those amigos.

 

[Coasters7]

Grundy was dogshit and still managed a 90. Shows his ceiling and should still comfortably be in the top 2 in his position come the end of the year. If you have him I wouldn’t be getting fancy trying to trade him.

Great start, out of the blocks nicely!

 

[Zevon]

Alrighty, anyone trading in a donut to take JMac's score?

I made my VC line 150 given you'd have to sacrifice a rookie making cash this week, so it's a no from me but can totally see why some will go the other way.

Stef Martin is his kryptonite!

Brilliant start well done!

Probably completely gassed.

 

[SM]

Shocker from Grundy and still almost tons up, I'm not hitting panic stations yet.

 

[Shadow89]

89 after all that for Grundy - can't complain given how he's Stef's bitch on a good day. De Goey with a 61, hahahaha. Stuck firm with my side all pre-season, but did the 'ol late change for one week, just to have a bit of fun. Scott with a respectable 52 in the end, was only 9 points less than 'De Go back to the forward line because you suck as a midfielder ey'

Will probably lose around 20K on that performance, but it is what it is.

Macrae, had you when you were on 2% - never in doubt just how amazing you are. Dunks slowed down after that heavy hit, but still got 41 points in the second half.

631/7

 

[Neale4brownlow]

I don't know what to take away from this. Grundy salvaging a 90 almost seems a positive given just how bad he played?

But the ruck situation really does seem an issue. The game is moving so quick and there is definetely less stoppages..

 

[bol316]

I have never done this before, so I want to confirm. I had 2 emergencies at mid this week and 2 players that needed cover (Bianco for loophole and Downie grrr). Will I get both covered? Thanks

 

[Aussie_boy]

I had Scott as an E up forward which was a reasonable rookie score so I could do it, probably won't though.

 

[mezaire]

689/6 + C

Pretty happy seeing that includes JDG and Grundy!

Yeah I'll give him another week or two, plenty of time and even if he does lose coin, will still make a chunk downgrading him to a ROB or Witts I would think.

 

[DynamiteDons]

Also something to note:
67 hitouts in tonights game. AAMI average was 62. Average across 2018, '19 and '20 was 75. Is this a trend we going to see and if so could be a little volatile for ruckman going forward. Something to monitor!

only 65 tonight... the trend continues

 

[Aussie_boy]

only 65 tonight... the trend continues

If this continues tomorrow I'll almost flick Witts for 2 rookie rucks.

 

[DenieD]

Ned Kelly with the abysmal 61. Hope he goes to jail.

Disagree. Watched him even when he was in the mid, and just couldn't get near it. To be fair though, the whole Collingwood midfield couldn't get near it, given just how dominant the Dogs mids were. Adams is a perma midfielder and he only ended up with 64 himself.

With that said, De Goey just did not look comfortable as a midfielder. Kept getting in the wrong positions and only really looked dangerous when he was forward. Best used as a high half forward with a pinch in the mid. Will have big games when he kicks his goals (would have been a score of 100 had he kicked all 3 of his snaps and Cox hadn't ignored him with that awful decision to go to Thomas instead. Won't score well unless he kicks goals, so he'll probably average 90, but it won't be consistent on what I saw tonight

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Yeah in that regard I've got no issues holding Grundy and see that through.

My issue is I'm currently running Gawndy combo.

Does Grundy having a mare forecast how Gawn will go?
The gameplay definetely didn't help grundy. But Grundy definetely didn't do as Grundy does tonight.

Lots to ponder.. Grundy/Flynn... Grundy witts... Grundy/gawn

Hehe that's true, I'm running both of them too so I'm with you, but I think Gawn should do ok, and funnily enough resting forward might actually help him get more points.

Difference between Grundy and Gawn, is at least Gawn puts effort in atm. Grundy just is so lax out there. Collingwoods got 7 years and 7 million problems if this is the way he's going.
