Round 1 Live Game Chat/Team discussion

[nameless]

You'd be a it silly to trade McDonald now.

Unless some rookie avg 100 for his first 2 and all your other rookies are doing fine then you could, but otherwise, he looked great on the w.e. so I'm happy to stick with him.

 

[lmach]

Even if he does get rubbed out for a few weeks, I'm sticking with him.

 

[entourage]

Agree with lmach and nameless, he stays regardless of the outcome from the tribunal.

 

[brent-83]

What's everyone going to do with McDonald if he gets 3-4 weeks? It's an awkward amount of weeks bwcause none of the cows would've fully matured to use him as a downgrade by then.

Can't see him getting more than 1 at most. I am tipping 0 weeks with a guilty plea.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Kennedy is a gun. Devestated I had Bugg on the bench with his 97. Giles was good and so was Smith. Shiel and Cameron were underwhelming but one average game does not a bad decision make.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Hope he gets 4 weeks but even 1 week would be enough to make a few $$$ off a downgrade.

Yes just my perspective of getting max benefit from the situation as a DT coach.

Really I do think it was a little dirty and will get some activation points.

Didn't hit him in the head and wasn't too far off the ball. How was it dirty?

You would seriously trade him out/in for 1 week to make 50 odd k?

 

[Papa Juggs]

I would consider it but not seriously.

The more weeks he gets the better.

I'm sure he'll get 1 at most if he didn't connect the head.

 

[Trav 20]

There was vision of the Swans player holding his jaw after he stood up and was being attended to by a trainer. So I believe he did have head contact.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Which is why I said "if".

It's not my call to make and didn't want to sound like I knew for sure either way.

MRP takes any hit to the head seriously. Even if you just give somebody a love tap on the ear.

 

[Unrivaled Mach]

Just heard on SEN, McDonald offered 2 games with guilty plea.

edit: Full story on AFL site.

damn 2 weeks is rough.

[JDWCE]

that is beyond ridiculous. He copped him in the shoulder. Should have got points, but shouldn't be weeks

Didn't you read post 159 ?

 

[Ziebellion]

It was clear that he hit him in the head. No doubts.

He also hit Hannerberry in the head aswell after he put his head over the ball later in the game, doesnt read well.

Also doesnt read well when Parker the toughest player at Sydney lays on the floor not moving after the contest and grabs his jaw when medicos get to him.

Yes hes in my team and i will consider trading him out, i sort of want him to contest and either get one week or 3 weeks, 2 weeks is a very grey area.

 

[Papa Juggs]

High impact.

Now way of getting out of that once they make that call.

 

[oaks]

Parker is going to miss 2 weeks with a broken jaw. so he must have hit him pretty hard.

Not really worth trading out a player who's only going to miss 2 weeks. Especially this early in the season. Waste of a trade IMHO you should have other playing bench rookies to cover, surely.

I added a forward DP link in the mids (D. Smith) at the last minute, reckon he will come in very handy even if he never plays on the field for me.

Don't you mean 1 week?

Sydney isn't playing this week.

If you read my post carefully i said i would like him and GWS to contest the charge so the suspension either increased to 3 or decreased to 1. 2 is a very grey area.

3 weeks would have meant i traded him out to another rookie possibly Bugg who i missed and move a C/B into the midfield.

If Bugg scores another 100 in round 2 this could still be the case as he is likely to rise by about 100k before JMAC does, it all depends how other rookies score now.

No point having DPP this early. Who are you going to switch D.Smith with? Martin. I just dont see the point.

No chance of it ever being contested. He was fortunate to get negligent rather than reckless.

How can you trade McDonald for Bugg?

 

[Keystone agony]

JMAC > Bugg

Move Goddard or any C/B you have in the backs to the mids.

 

[lmach]

JMac is a mid, Bugg is a defender?

 

[yogibbear]

JMac is a mid, Bugg is a defender?

They changed the rules this year. Makes perfect sense.
