Round 16 Teams Discussion

[Jolldo87]

- Buddy has been selected but is still not certain.
- N. Riewoldt has also been named.
- Tom Lynch in for the Gold Coast to ease some forward issues
- Cameron Richardson named on the extended bench

It seems all the major issues this week are in the forward line. Good luck everyone!!

I hate this time of year, when everyone has a full team and **** all trades left and there's nothing really to talk about because all the fun stuff is over.

 

[dylan123]

In my forward line currently I have: Goodes, Franklin, Riewoldt, Dawes, Higgins, Fyfe, Didak, Knights, Mzungu and Smith with no DPP.

So 5 outs at least with Riewoldt and Franklin a chance to miss!!

 

[BandF]

Heath Scotland on an extended interchange anything to be concerned about?

 

[roodav]

Probably looking at one donut this week. Traded Hibberd to Goodes giving more dp but unless Richardson surives the cut ill be one short. Have Pavlich, Sylvia, Didak, Callinan & Mzungu out (as well as S Thompson, Otten & Lower).

 

[BACCS]

Only 3 trades left, but should avoid zeroes for the rest of the year. No cover in defense this week, but late outs should be unlikely.

Seeing he's probably top three in the B & F...no.

 

[BarcaRulz]

Should avoid zeros if everyone names actually plays. I've got cover for late withdrawals in my backs and mids, but not for rucks and forwards. Will be a fair few teams coping 0s this week I would assume. Hopefully I can jump up a bit if a full team is that big an advantage.

 

[Off The Couch]

Two donuts this week
One in defence
One in the mids - already have Selwood and Watson warming the bench and the third having a bye so just have to ride it out.
It will be three if Buddy is out and tbh I think that will be on the cards
Make that four if Nick is also out
In the scheme of things it will make absolutely no difference to how I have travelled this season.

 

[galindez]

One donut minimum. Depending on Richardson, Riewoldt and Franklin playing to avoid more than that. I'm trying to stay in the top 1000 so I'm a bit concerned.

Mids and Backs are basically full strength.

 

[bombermick]

No zeroes, although I'll get one one (or maybe two) if Franklin and N.Roo don't play.

 

[Moses01]

is it just me or is someone being slack about putting up the sunday final teams at afl.com.au

 

[GiantForce]

Worth putting 2 EMGs in the forward line this week (Prestia and Matera)? Not convinced about Buddy and Riewoldt actually playing

Exactly. ****ing AFL website is a complete joke. This happens almost every week. Maybe instead of changing the teams to a graphically based thing that takes forever to load, they should just concentrate on actually getting the info onto the site in a timely manner.

 

[Jolldo87]

Yeah the AFL site is pathetic.

The teams were up on Sportal at the normal time.

oh thankyou thankyou thankyou.

 

[Blues_FC]

Yeah, thanks Jolldo.

 

[Atavistic]

God damn ****ing hell. Why couldn't Richardson be named? Is it because he's not very good?

 

[Jolldo87]

No worries guys.

God damn ****ing hell. Why couldn't Richardson be named? Is it because he's not very good?

It's not that he's not very good, it's that he's hopeless.

 

[Benno_900]

He just struggles with the tempo at this level and panics a bit.

I wouldn't write him off just yet but that's a long term thing (3 yr contract), may not turn it around this season.

 

[EBUS]

2 zeroes this week, both in the forward.
