Round 18 Discussion

[go you pups]

Dusty 49 at HT from 16 possies, lel, but 83 in SC

Just a Supercoacher these days

 

[Agechamp]

Savage seriously.

Between having to field him and seedsman. When I use my latest trade on another defender I need to decide which to bench. Horrible.

Ends up getting a 90 DT 139 SC

Ends up getting a 90 DT 139 SC

That SC score is way too high for him, barely noticed him in the second half! This is why I don't like playing SC, there are players that get massively KOTD based on their name alone. I can imagine it being a very frustrating game to play at times! Fantasy and RDT are frustrating enough because of some minor missed stats, but to see Dusty get a 140 for his game tonight would be an injustice (if I didn't own him of course).

I've melted a fair few times about KOTD/robbed over there this year, did so 3 times last weekend over Gawn getting robbed then Parker and Dawson Simpson getting mega KOTD.

Have melted about it randomly over my Bigfooty years, but this year at least more people see that games scoring is massively flawed. Prefer the old days of Supercoach really, no KOTD hitouts to advantage, just standard 1 point a hitout like DT, full lockout every Friday night like DT, players only getting KOTD kicking goals late in tight games, was great to see post game scaling applied. These days there's minimal to no scaling done, all done at random during the game so CD doesn't go over their 3300 point accumulator threshold which is the worst part of that game imo. High quality games should have well over 3300 points awarded, low quality games with low scoring/low possession numbers well under 3300 points awarded. Instead they are all valued the same overall because of that silly formula they use.

Good ruck work and game influence is more than just hitout and possessions numbers. Hence why the best 2 (Gawn & Grundy) SC averages are higher than their DT/AF averages.

No players in last nights snooze fest.
Today looks like

Grundy, Crisp
Lloyd, Heeney, Parker
Devon, Heppell, Merrett, Neale, Walters
Laird, Gibbs
Menegola, Gawn

 

[Slipps]

Martin 140+ tonight coming up. Just ridiculous.

Not even close to 140 you idiot... your parents should take your computer off you until games finish bradley

Not there a relevant players but check out the NEAFL dream team points in a sloppy match:

 

[Andrew Birch]

92 points worth of tackles for Swans Dawson

(He was relevant prior to Rd1)

It’s astonishing that Michael Rischitelli has been getting games for the Suns but Michael Barlow hasn’t.

 

[TheRednWhite]

C'mon Tom Phillips. Please play more than one quarter this week. Need him to show his ceiling for the first time since I got him, especially when I am fielding Parker and COR this week!

 

[happy_eagle]

Seems crazy that Mihocek is more of a D6 right now than Crisp and Seedsman and he was my throw away D8

 

[Danger_zone]

Collingwood are killing North and Crisp can't get anywhere near it.

Lol, thinking maybe I should've played Mihocek over Savage.

23 tackles for Dawson, lol

 

[go you pups]

Howe will stink it up bigtime with Moore's late withdrawal, probably sits on Brown all day

 

[TheRednWhite]

Same story with Phillips. So frustrating owning very outside mids, can go 140 one week and then 70-80 the next. Phillips has literally only had one good quarter per game since I got him in which means he only just crawls to 100 in his good games

Only said I preferred the old system when it seemed the 3300 accumulator never came into play and we always got postmatch scaling, now scaling occurs randomly during the game and the tally at the final siren is always around the 3300 mark

The 3300 accumulator is the worst thing with scoring for that game because there always has to be 3300 points handed out no matter of the quality of the game or number of possessions or goals scored in that game, high quality shootouts would see players get nerfed while slugfests get KOTD. If it ran on a black and white system like DT without a limit like the 3300 rule then there'd be less KOTD accusations imo.

I understand it's a "rankings" game, but it's hardly rankings when the likes of Fantasy Freako justifies scores using stats.

 

[go you pups]

I smell a shit truck Saturday here

Howe, Parker and Heeney doing bugger all to start their respective games. Ahern on the bench struggling too.

All capable of getting going, but I don't see it at the moment.

 

[go you pups]

Speak of the devil, the flog from last week has kicked a goal

 

[TheRednWhite]

Thought I would be worried fielding COR this round, I should have been worried about my Phillips instead FFS.

 

[Slipps]

Ever since Treloar got injured Crisp has been a spud wonder if it has effected his role in anyway... i would have been better off putting O’Riordan on field

 

[CJApples87]

If anyone has the balls, it looks like Adams is finally fit enough. Though his second halves have been poor lately, the signs are very good, especially with his tackle numbers starting to improve.

Going to be some underpriced mids next year

Martin, Adams, Shuey, Hannebery, Sloane, B.Crouch, Hall are all going to be fairly cheap
Dangerfield, Merrett, Rockliff and JPK are also likely to finish with an average below what they are capable of.
