Round 2 Venting and Discussion

[Shadow89]

Lloyd, Boak, Treloar....so many must-haves for me. Rocky tag was really concerning because he could get 70s if he is tagged from the start. The mind still boggles as to why they tagged Rocky ahead of Boak yesterday.

He did have 24 first half possies and was always the one delivering it into the forward 50. They were right to go to him, because it changed the whole game in the third. Was absolutely ripping the game apart in the first half

4 players remaining
Scott: I trusted him on field over Constable so he needs to do a repeat of last week. Still disgusted at myself for benching Constable after one week, chasing what 10 points extra from Scott? Got a feeling Scott will have a real stinker today because he is a more outside player so more susceptible to a spud score. Hopefully he gets to 80.
Worpel: Another huge effort needed from him, not fair to expect a 100 from him every game but I need it again this week.
Scrimshaw: Low expectations, just get past 50 please.
Dunkley: How about a real premo score this time? If I don't see Dunkley predominantly in the mids this time he is gone. He simply has to ton up today

Oh haha I didn't watch the game. Assumed rocky's possessions were just cheap back pocket stuff like last week. This is hugely concerning now, I traded Crippa to him FFS. Rocky has BL, Rich and WCE next 3. BL and WCE could tag...Rocky needs 180 against tigers

I'm kinda hoping Dunks smashes it out of the park today, because so many people have jumped off him. Was like 29% at the start of the season, after 1 round, 18% now

 

[JDWCE]

Can see some big scores coming out of this hawks dogs game. Here’s hoping the blokes I don’t have stay down, like Macrae, wouldn’t mind picking him up sooner rather than later

I wouldn't be that stressed about the tag. You'll take an 80-100 during a tagged game, which balances out with 140's in non tagged games, which gives you a 110 av. Rocky didn't lose his score so much because of the tag so much, it was more because it was a deluge out on the ground and he couldn't get any cheap +6's. When the game opened up at the end, he got a few possessions and still finished with a 115. Boak and Wines (when he returns in the next couple of weeks) will also cop it from time to time.

I wouldn't be hitting panic stations just yet. Although with that said, I started the season with Rocky, but trading an uber premo to him wouldn't have been an option I would have taken if I hadn't

I will be over the moon if Macrae stays under 140 today. If he can get 105 odd while tagged he will be nasty today when he runs free. He'll go somewhere between 130-170

I'm gonna back my gut in and say he goes under 130 today, with Bont and Libba stealing his possies. Will be an interesting game for the Macrae haves and have nots

I’m actually interested to see if Bont plays midfield again....

 

[Shadow89]

I think he will. He's too good not to, and not a very good forward (seriously bad set shot). Naughton's development seems to be the conduit to push him back to his best position, which I think pushes Macrae back one peg in the order

Yeah that’s what appears to be the case after last week. And Naughton looks very good up forward as well. Bongs quickly becoming relevant again

Edit - ‘Bonts’ stupid autocorrect haha

Bonts with Bongs?

Dat stoned face. Think you're actually spot on, haha

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I've criticised the new site pretty much since it opened but credit where it's due: the rankings page seems very up to date and much safer to trust. Was particularly annoying on the last day last year trying to work who was in a position to win the comp. Had to try work out what trades coaches may have made because that detail wasn't up to date.

Was watching rankings last night and seeing myself, with 6 well performing players, falling further and further behind. Some of you must have had 9 or 10 players on the go.

Same here
Not enough mid spots

Fingers crossed

 

[Gunf]

Scott starting well

 

[chloedarko]

Not having a good week at all at the moment. On 1701 currently... will be lucky if I crack 2000. Well under par

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Also hoping this is a fantasy frenzy.
Come on Crae, go big!

Shadow89 - your call on Crae is fair. If he goes sub-110 again this week I’ll be starting to sweat..

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I've cooked myself by playing Scott over Constable haven't I...

 

[Shadow89]

Scott over Constable my one massive mistake for this round

 

[Gunf]

Just 2 points this q Scott... not cool

 

[PAFC27]

Bailey Williams out for Lewis Young. That's one less midfield rotation to worry about...come on Dunks

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Witherden is on thin ice with heeney.

 

[RickSanchez]

zzz Failey Scott pick it up.
Like most, Constable will start on ground and he'll go bench now.

 

[Fitzey]

Made a massive mistake starting Goldstein over Grundy... didn’t realise how poor he could be...
