Game Day Round 12 Matchday Discussion

[Seymour Skinner]

If r15 ends up a bye round we will get best 18 that round.
The most we would get is 1 extra trade. take it from 2 trades possible that round to 3.
But i doubt we get that because it makes r13 drastically easier.

I was thinking more if they move the dogs bye to round 14.

Crows under investigation for breaching Covid protocols on the flight back from Sydney last weekend.

Anyone would think you're a Port Supporter .....they're currently dancing in the streets down Alberton way

thats easy fixed.
best 16

Ban their entire midfield + that fathead spud Jimmy Rowe so O'Connor gets an extended run and gives us another MID rookie while also forcing them to debut Newchurch for some glorious 102k DPP goodness

Somebody traded Rowe a bit early.......

Traded him when his BE was practically 80 and he had a horrible fixture list coming up. Hindsight is 20/20

Crabbed his way to 235k and looked like bleeding cash, it was the right move at the time. Went early on Poulter so worked out fine for me as he has been averaging about 72 since I got him.

I don’t think anyone could have predicted that after 2 scores under 40 he’d suddenly average over 70 from 4 games against Port, West Coast, Melbourne and Richmond. Looks bad in retrospect but I’d make the same decision again

Nothing firm yet.
I suppose they need to make a decision soonish.
It will kill me if richmond is moved to r14 sheesh

Will they have to move another game to even the bye numbers to keep 6-6-6?

Nope.
Just the West Coast Richmond game moves to r13 from r14.
West Coast and Richmond will be added to r14 bye teams

That would mean more trades for everyone if it went ahead.

Not sure the broadcasters will like that.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Would surely be a SC bye in round 14 in that case.

could be Saints v Crows or D's v Pies

 

[buttox]

They wont ever do a sc bye.
If you have players from those teams you are then disadvantaged.
Best 16 is my bet.

Last year their software could only do best 18 or 22. Be interesting to see if they changed it.

Easy to do a bye, lockout just stays until the the end of round 14. Players all get a DNP. Some campaigners melt, the rest realise this is just a game and get on with life

 

[SavDog23]

More trades is always the best option and any other option is shithouse

 

[Quazza]

Because 36 would be the trigger for a COVID outbreak

Also, don’t ”catch” the footy it comes your way Nelso. Might catch COVID according to the CHO over there

The bulldogs game being played early makes more sense from a commercial point of view as it avoids a 5 game weekend.

 

[SC fish]

Not necessarily. Just play on with best 18 I reckon no extra trades

the round 14 tank is officially on if that’s the case

the red car is my team

On the bright side.
the r13 and r14 highest scoring teams wont be teams made just for that round.

But on this occasion

I’m this guy



It’s out of their control with the virus and I get it
It’s just frustrating to try and plan for without any clarity

I was forced to hold him and I also have Poulter.

Nah no way they do nothing if there a significant change is made to the fixture.

They will do something. What remains to be seen.
