Round 10 Discussion

[Jiska]

Who are you campaigners fielding out of Henry, Goofy or Spargo?

I wish I had loophole options. Everyone’s playing.

Field Spargo IMO.

 

[Jiska]

Pick 2 out of Higgins, Ronke, Fritsch and Guelfi

Ronke and Fritsch

 

[Gavin Excell]

I wish I had loophole options. Everyone’s playing.

Field Spargo IMO.

Life's tough

 

[Jiska]

Alrighty kents.

I’m out for the day on the drink. And I’m not a big drinker.

If I don’t post later on, then I am dead.

Been an absolute pleasure

It’s 10am in Perth and you’re on the piss????

Back at ya.....

 

[TravisJohnstone]

Nah he’s conceded he’s top 9th a year ago (still a joke). He’ll concede top 2 if he wins another championship

Haha yeh. It's just his blind disking for Bron which is so frustrating. He'll drop 45 15 and 9 and Skip will be like 'he only hit 8/12 free throws. He isn't clutch.'

 

[Significant]

Ronke and Fritsch

This is what I had Jisk but now all the regulars are buying into the Higgins hype. Depends if Tigers rip us a new one or not.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Just realised i still had the (E) on Gowers instead of Spargo to replace Gray

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Jacobs to fyfe tomorrow surely?

Would have thought Neale would be the better match up for him....

 

[vast]

If Harry Taylor is out, how does Henry score?

Hasnt really scored better or worse with him in the team as far as I can tell

 

[vast]

Would have thought Neale would be the better match up for him....

My biggest fear. Please go to fyfe.

 

[TravisJohnstone]

I don't have a major problem with the theory behind CDs system, though it can be frustrating in a close game when a player with 35 possessions to 3/4 time score stands still or even goes backwards in the 4th term even when playing well.

What does annoy is the (very difficult to control) human bias inherent in applying the scoring system. As you point out it is subjective but that doesn't stop people getting frustrated. Effective v Ineffective, tackle v no tackle, what happens when a receiver fumbles an easy pass - there are shades of grey and some players (generally the famous ones) benefit. Last night Treloar took the ball out of congestion and kicked inside 50 to a leading Reid... who fell over before getting near the ball like he got shot by a sniper. 1 point for Treloar. I bet Danger or this months poster boy Macrae would have got at least 5. Not to mention Reid (who should get docked points but wasn't because he was such a spud he didn't even get within touching distance of the footy).

It would be interesting to do a controlled experiment. Train a few smart o/s backpackers with no exposure to footy in how to score a game using tapes of 2nd tier games. Then get them to score a tape of a real AFL match with no crowd noises and commentary. 100% certain Patrick Dangerfields average would drop by at least 10 points.

I was a DT'er growing up. Crossed over to SC a few years ago and initially hated the scoring system. It grew on me and I started to like it and felt it was better than DT's system. Now I'm going backwards. The obsession with cp is a joke. Someone like Bradley Hill who carves up a wing with run and carry consistently gets outscored by scrappy inside mids who shovel handballs 1m.

 

[Underarm]

Higgins and Higgins.

Maybe Higgins too.

Jack Higgins that is.

 

[Jiska]

This is what I had Jisk but now all the regulars are buying into the Higgins hype. Depends if Tigers rip us a new one or not.

No loophole option?

 

[Axly]

Good point.
I’d field ZGL then.
Has shown he can score well and score fast but hampered last few weeks after coming back from injury

Cheers!
Yeah think that'll be best. Henry is really inconsistent. Either <50 or 90+, so he can be looped with Spargo if he decides to pull out a big one

 

[Better Loosen Up]

My biggest fear. Please go to fyfe.

Wouldn't be too worried... Brad Scott and I seem to have a very different thought process

 

[Axly]

Ronke and Fritsch

+1

 

[projectaero]

How does Projected work? Is it the same as below, The projected is based off the persons prior score that round in relation to BE ?

How does BE work? Is it based off the Projected score over the last 3 prior weeks it changes?

 

[Significant]

No loophole option?

No loophole option.
Been given various combinations of Fritsch, Higgins and Ronke.
Fritsch is in good form and I am expecting Dees to get the win. They are after a big fish.
Ronke has had less poor scores than Higgins, which made me choose him, but I can only assume Lions will put up a better fight than Aints. Still think today's game will be close.
Reckon I'll take a chance on Higgins.

 

[DT_35]

Trade Henry or Finlay first? Both on the bench

It’s a secret formula that takes in to account previous history against the team and history at the ground as well.

How does BE work? Is it based off the Projected score over the last 3 prior weeks it changes?

You can’t project a score that’s in the past
Mathematical formula based on a different secret number each season.
Some smart numbers cruncher here will know what this years is.

Finlay.

Henry will do ok tonight i feel against us and strong rumors of Harry Taylor OUT injured only increase his scoring potential and job security.

 

[hoddo]

Pick 2 out of Higgins, Ronke, Fritsch and Guelfi

Higgins and Fritsch

With choices like that I try to avoid rookies playing interstate. Higgins is the only one not travelling but at least Fritsch is on neutral ground and is in great form.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Jacobs to fyfe tomorrow surely?

Fyfe's strength is in the air though ......Jacobs IMO better suited to players who hunt the ground ball ?

 

[Test Tickle]

 

[WaynesWorld19]

122/1.

Tigers to have a good win, Dusty 6 goals, 30+ possies, 300 SC points. Snags Higgins with a bag too. Sorry St Kilda folks .

Has Higgins reintroduced the term "snag" back into the modern football vernacular ?.....heard a commentator last week refer to a snag goal
