Round 7 Carnage/Vent Thread

Good to hear, the byes are what really seperates the pack.

I've been doing pretty well to be honest. Had very little carnage and have just been shuffling rookies actually! Was able to bring in my first premium this year in Merrett last week which is starting to increase my scoringp power nicely. 4 rookies on ground is impressive from you! I'm pretty happy with 5 still, as I think the norm is around 6-7. I think I'm in that top ranking of non Whitfield owners (hopefully).

Its still so wide open, though. Very little points between the top 2-20k

7, eek!

Locked in my trades before bed (US)
Whitfield -> Laird
Constable -> J Kelly

Wake up at 5:30 near end of the 1st qtr, check afl.com.au and see Kelly is out with tightness. Check my E, somehow it's reverted to Butters after being on Hayes all week. Check on Butters score. 0.

413/5

I'm quickly losing patience with Rocky, he's made some money which is really handy. Especially considering that a lot of the "uber premos" have lost money it won't take a lot to upgrade him. I'll most likely give him another chance because it's Rocky and Port have a pretty good month coming up but he cannot toss up that crap again.

Boak and Grundy were both about 10 points under their average but I really cannot complain with 108 & 99. The same can be said for my two rookies Duursma and Drew, with almost an average of 70 between the two of them they're continuing to do there jobs and will continue to go up in price.

Ultimately if Rocky had another 30/40 points I would've been sitting here very content. Oh well, on-wards and upwards from here.
 
Anyone on here going to the Hawks and Dees game today that can pass on a message to James Sicily? I have no doubt we are just going to bomb it inside 50 so can someone just tell him to stand in the hole and gobble up marks for fun all day, please :cool:
130 incoming? That’d be nice

Yes. I approve this too!
 
something keeps pushing me away from Rocky

OMG OMG I have to trade Rocky out, who should i trade him too?! Sorry, just giving everyone a spoiler for next weeks talk

Rule 1. Don’t trade your premiums
Rule 2. It’s rocky
Rule 3. Good schedule = good scoring

Keen to see everyone trade him out next week!!
 
Just read this on the autopsy on the Port board:

"Rockliff - Tagged by Greenwood, robbing us of the distributor around stoppages. Seemed to drop his bundle and stop working, which is uncharacteristic. I'd give him a mulligan because Buckley identified him as the player who needed to be stopped. 4/10"

Wouldn't say it's panic stations just yet then. Rocky has proved he can't handle a tag. Which makes sense then why he had periods on the bench and periods forward. He's had one bad score all season from concussion and scored 166, 115, 132, 94 (tagged in the wet by Hutchings) and 69 (tagged by Greenwood first half, then shifted forward and only 75% TOG). Take out his concussion score, it's still an average of 115.2 overall. Definitely no need to 'throw the baby out with the bathwater' just yet. Give him a few bad games in a row, then make judgements

This is bullsh*t, he was NOT tagged. The first 3 quarters he was around the ball and not being given much attention by anyone. He was moving like a sloth, not tackling, not getting marks, he was around the ball a lot, but looked so slow. In the last quarter spud Hinkley put him forward and the bloke still contributed nothing.
 
Had just enough coin to upgrade Constable to Adams. Executed 5 mins before lockout. Lol.

I had Constable to J Kelly, then checked afl website not long before lockout and find he's a late out with a groin. So I trade in T Adams. Grundy C, at half time, I'm ranked 105 and thinking about making space in the garage... That last T Adams handball was pretty awful, maybe he overstretched trying to redeem himself.
 
Commentators think someone is going to tag Sicily today
 
High chance of rain in brisbane today. Ah yes, everything is falling into place. Lloyd's fate is sealed now. Destined for a spud score on the week I get him. And I could have made up ground by not having him and choosing Laird or Stewart....
Yeah I’ve given up on getting Whitfield before the bye and just focusing on picking 4-6 for now (hopefully final 6 but who knows at this point). Probably in a bit of an easier situation given it’s Whitfield I’m chasing who is a) no certainty to come back in the same form/come back at all next week b) going to drop back to somewhere near his starting price.. rather than Lloyd who pops out 120s for fun.

Do think that both will plateau a little now though, more coaches are onto Lloyd’s cheapies now and try to shut his option down. So if you’ve got one or the other it’s almost better to forget the one you don’t have and focus on the other value like you say

Okey doke. Only mentioned this because a half a dozen supporters who were at the game, kept citing it in their reviews. Lol, getting a little sick of people shooting the messenger
