Round 15 Discussion (Dedicated to Better Loosen Up)

[Hava Alle]

If you have less than 6 trades left and you are trading out Cripps, you may as well just delete your team now.

Isn't the reason people are saving their last 6 trades for are for lti's? Turf toe?

Is Turf Toe Confirmed? Nope. Till it is, you are jumping at shadows my friend

 

[Blackhawk42]

Guys! Last year I got my highest ever score and weekly rank whilst Bont was out having organs removed and Giro was my only bench cover. The little bugger pulled out an 80!
In summary, don't trade Cripps!

So you are guaranteeing me the weekly cash?

So you will justify a trade on some wild fantasy assumption?

Go for it.

I would think the word ‘may’ would have been a dead give-away that it is in fact not confirmed

 

[mochacinolatte]

What will everyone do if Hore is dropped?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Didn't figure that out after the "Tom Browne" part?

Darts thrown.

 

[Judd_Magic]

I'll trade him to Laird.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Laugh.

Is there any reason why your trades couldn't have waited until after 5pm today when final teams for Sunday's games are confirmed? If Hore and Naish don't make their teams final 22's you'll be copping a doughnut in defence while Setterfield sits idly on your Mid bench.

Very surprising move coming from you Wayne, considering you only had 4 trades left (now 2) The percentage play would have been to either take Clarke's 63 mid E score or move Setterfield onto the field for Cripps and upgrade Milera to a proper def premo. It makes little sense to hold 'dodgy back' Milera then say that you couldn't take a chance on Cripps' injury stretching out to 3+. What if Adelaide aren't being completely honest about Milera's dynamic and ballistic lateral back movement?

What if CARL aren't completely honest about Cripps ?

At some point in the game, most would say the % play is not the way to progress ....that you have to take a risk, yes it could backfire sensationally

I played the % with Rockcliff and that cost me dearly ....not the fact I held him, but that i held him over the byes

The reason Cripps is a different proposition than Milera is because of the mids scoring power .....plus as i outlined during the week, who to upgrade?
Hore? ...Milera? ....Sicily ? (if he continues to play forward)

Logue covers Milera this week as my D7 ....Naish my D8 ....pretty sure (fingers crossed) Hore plays

Plus if I upgraded Milera, it would have been 2 req trades & I would miss Logue ......so doing what i have has also given me "some" $$$ in the bank for another potential straight upgrade

 

[Quazza]

so finally returning to the land of the living after an unexpected Wednesday Lunch Bender saw me dying in bed for 2 days. Return like Christ on the 3rd day to find there was game last night and my SC team in absolute disarray; Super Sexy Patty C a WTF out (somebody..... hold me?), Milera who I brought in 3 weeks ago out with general Floggyness, Hore and Naish named on extended benches and neither of my Gold Coast potato's named......

The % play with Rocky would have been to trade him out. There is no disputing that based on his history.

I would have gone Hore > Logue & Milera > Stewart/Ryan this week which would have left 160k+ to upgrade Setters next week or another rookie down the track. I certainly wouldn't want Cripps as a POD against me, hence he was my first picked.

 

[pincrusher]

Interesting given that he wasn't even injured on Tuesday.

 

[Benno_900]

So we can rule out turf toe then

 

[Andrew Birch]

"may have" anyone can speculate. It doesn't make it fact or news. Tom Browne one of the worst.

Yeah i know. Taking it with a grain of salt. If it was true, though, I would find it hard to believe that it just developed during training on Thursday. It may very well be that they don't have a diagnosis yet and have said 1-2 weeks based on current symptoms. If it did just happen yesterday, they have probably only just had scans done (if required).

 

[Jcpdragonx]

What will everyone do if Hore is dropped?

Bruh he's there best defender

 

[pincrusher]

What will everyone do if Hore is dropped?

Everyone will know they are tanking.

 

[Hai_Newman]

Welcome Stewart to my backline.

Nope .....the correct call would have been Hore to Logue and Milera to Hurn / Whitfield ....or vice-e-versa.....but both have a couple of weeks to bottom out

Whitfield likely to bottom out $494K (R17).....going to need some help from my existing players now to afford that upgrade ...currently $10K short and likely to drift

So Ryan in may still end up the play ....but not at a 15ppt gap in average between Hore / Milera

 

[WaynesWorld19]

you guys must have like 15 trades if you got the luxury to trade cripps out. im hobbling.

Trades ....pffttt overrated

Ok Wayne, you clearly know what you're doing. Carry on.
