Round 12 "The First Bye" Discussion and Venting.

[TedDougChris]

Ahern started well...

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Gon need to upgrade Danger soon.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Gon need to upgrade Danger soon.

He's playing forward a lot and is not required in the midfield. He is still tonning up regularly though so he's still a solid player to have in your team. Best case scenario is he gets DPP which he probably should have already got. He's not an uber premo mid but still a 100-105 mid.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Ahern scoring really well with limited TOG. Think the Roos are trying to manage him a bit. If he has less time on the bench in the second half then he is on track for another 90

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

God Tuoghy is trash. Alongside Parker as being my worst selection for the year. Will be one of my 3 dropped scores at this rate

 

[Quokka]

Yay Captain Selwood

 

[TheRednWhite]

FFS Ahern TOG is disgusting. And Telly busting out 30+ point quarters after I trade him out, taking cheap marks from the kick-ins haha.

edit: make that 40+ in a quarter for Telly. Unbelievable. Hard to get mad at him given what he has done throughout the year as a rookie but FMD slow down!

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Was looking at getting Menegola as my last forward premo upgrade. Is he just a wingman that sometimes goes missing? Thought maybe his numbers went down when Geelong had their fully fit midfield of GAJ, Danger, Selwood, Duncan. But last week he got 120+ with those blokes playing. Does he just beat up on average teams?

 

[yogibbear]

Fritta is an absolute gun, not sure why people are considering trading him. His role is so good right now and I’d expect 80-90s from him consistently. I’d upgrade guys like Taranto, Parker and Sauce before Fritta!

I'm in the same boat. My plan has been to move on Fritsch next week anyway since forever as it's the ONLY way I will be able to bring Macrae in, unless I decide to pray for RNGesus and pick him up after he loses some value with that "high" BE he's carrying atm. But I fully expect Macrae to come out firing doing 140's+++ back to back to back so I just want to get him next weekend and if I don't use Fritsch I am not bringing in 2 premo's next weekend, only 1. Or I'm bringing in some crappy 780k midfielder which is just a giant pile of minefield BS (ignoring the "safe" Rnd 14 bye mids that I'm already stacked with). I've basically talked myself into if Fritsch scores less than 100 he's gone. (Even though he'd make me another 100k in 3-4 weeks time [But my team would be already finished before then].) My only headache is Tim Smith who I frustratingly have only had for 1 week. If Tim Smith was still playing the decision would be much easier. Every other rookie I have that isn't involved in next weeks 3x rookie out -> 2 premo in trades still have good B/E's just like Fritsch.

TLDR:
Fritsch < 100 this w/e = Macrae
Fritsch > 100 this w/e = Gaff/Curnow/Hunter (EWWWWW!)

 

[TheRednWhite]

Yay Captain Selwood

Jacobs tag was lifted after half time and Jelwood has been racking it up since. Can't believe that he is going to ton up!

 

[TheRednWhite]

FMD so much geelong junk at the end there, led by Jelwood and Gola. Was hard to watch all that while only having Ahern haha. Can't wait for the GWS game to start so I can finally have some guys playing. Have got Whit and Taranto though so I could come to regret that, both are capable of 50s. Taranto has to cash in on midfield time and surely Whit can junk it against GC

 

[musclehead22]

Tons by Danger & Duncan. Nice.

I swear menegola got at least 30 points at the end there.

 

[samFFC]

Not horrendous from Ahern. Probably doesn’t count but solid score for his TOG, and will gain plenty of $$ this week.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

I swear menegola got at least 30 points at the end there.

yeah even Tuohy had a 40 point junk time quarter to get himself to 88. Will take that.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

198/2.

Wingard bounced back from criticism fantastically tonight. Fritsch to Wingard next week...lock it in.

You would know more than me about Wingard as a Port supporter, but wouldn't you want to wait another week on him? Or are you that confident?

I am looking at Curnow next week. Run home: Freo, Pies, Port, Lions, Saints, Hawks, GC, GWS, Freo, Dogs, Crows.
That only thing that is missing is another game against the Pies! But Freo, Saints, Lions, GC, Hawks, Dogs have all been fantasy friendly teams for mids this year.

Having said that, I already own Macrae.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Ahern started well...

Only finished with 51. What happened?

 

[Zevon]

Only finished with 51. What happened?

Very very low time on ground. Being managed back into the swing of things I guess.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Wow, it's almost Saturday evening and I've only had 1 player play (Ahern), with one in play (Zac Langdon).

Feels strange...

 

[TedDougChris]

Only Whitfield in this game. Watching some of the GC kids for future trades though...

 

[Quokka]

Jacobs tag was lifted after half time and Jelwood has been racking it up since. Can't believe that he is going to ton up!

96 feels like a definite win after that first half

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Have heard some GC fans speaking highly of Will Brodie, but he is at an awkward price.

In other news, Zac Landgon posted 90 last week while on my bench, convincing me to keep him for another week.
So far, just the 1 tackle...

 

[musclehead22]

This game is bor...........

Brodie, Ballard and Scheer are the three of interest for me at the minute...

 

[TheRednWhite]

Nice from Taranto, if Whit could stop being a spud and get into the game more that would be great. Need GWS to put this game to bed early for Whit to be any chance of tonning up. If this game is going to be a contest all day than lock Whit in for a 80 max.
