Round 11 Discussion

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Pretty average game but was looking a lot worse at half time.

Heeney 100
Lloyd 88
Simpson 83
O’Shea 66 did his job covering Coffield
Cripps crap
Ronke average but due a down game

Once you go fantasy, you can't go back. You're a fantasy tragic now like the rest of us, just ride the highs and lows (mostly lows)

I've actually been playing since I used to have to phone in (like, make a literal phone call) my team using the teams posted in The Australian (what we called, in those days, a "newspaper") each week! (Anyone else? )

I guess I'm old now huh.

I actually got my team in the paper one week for being in the top 40 or whatever they published for each round...

Old too....

Geez wow, and now I feel less old for having first played this game 12 years ago...

Massively old here (not really) !!

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Thankfully only had Buddy & Lloyd from that game. Some low scores all round so I'll take their pair of 88s.

Traded in Buddy 2 weeks ago thinking he would go big against the Lions and the Blues. Nope.

276/4. Sinclair great (for once), absolute garbage from Cripps, Dow and Ronke.

I feel like rage trading Cripps after that shit. Just can't catch a break, Sinclair great but Cripps has a shocker.

Me too! Was a pretty good highlight back in the day (although imagine how many more players there are now).

IIRC I missed a few years after the newspaper game finished. Obviously the newspaper game died off at some point, and I don't think the internet game picked up immediately. Beyond that, I probably didn't have a computer at the time, let alone the internet!

So, yeah, this is what mid-youth (you) feels like I guess. What's 34? Is this middle-age? GD.

 

[TheRednWhite]

OH FFS why did Parker lose points at the end. Finished on 98. Only he could not ton up after getting 38 in the first quarter, another putrid second half. Have to take a 98 from him though, around 20 more than I expected so happy with that I guess. 3/286 is a solid enough start, Lloyd a bit unders due to a poor first half

Only other claim to fame is nearly winning The Age footy tipping about 10 years ago....

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

323 from 4.

 

[TedDougChris]

259/3 here

 

[Nicowalshie]

Solid start, 215 from Sinclair and Curnow.

Looking at everyone else's scores I can't complain (though Ed not scoring for about 20 mins in Q4 was somewhat frustrating)

 

[PAFC27]

186/2. Lloyd and Parker.

Will definitely take that especially with Parker showing up for once. Thankyou TheRednWhite

Quite sad that we are celebrating a score of 98 from a premo haha. But yeah this was a big step for Parker, hopefully he gets some confidence from this and improves further in the future

His breakeven should look a little better next week yeah? I didn't get to watch the game - did Parker do himself any favors as far as solidifying DPP?

He sure did start and play FWD a fair bit

 

[Quokka]

Better teams arent relying on supposed premiums getting 82 or playing rookies for 54,

But at this point 441/5 feels like maybe a semi decent start.

325/4

Lloyd
Simpson
Heeney
Ronke

And we move on.

He was dreadful tonight and I was thinking of a rage trade but it'd really mess with my bye structure. The bye will do him the world of good and I'm expecting him to bounce back afterwards. He'd want to after tonight.

I should probably get more Sydney players one day! Though Not such a bad outcome given the scoring.
