Round 9 Discussion

[Crowdedtrilogy]

Shows where everyone has there players. 6 games gone and 3 today, but most people still have half a team to go. 12 to go myself today, could be a bit worrying coming into the byes. And wouldn't surprise if only 2 or 3 of them are different to everyone else.

 

[Gee Dub]

1395 with Shaw, Wagner, Dea, McDonald-Tipungwuti, Mohr, Hunter, Martin, Merrett to come.

Hoping for 2100, realistically though more like 2050ish with the 4 rookies playing.

Goldy captain and Steele the big winners for me.

 

[Van_Dyke]

My opponent has Gawn and Martin

 

[Squibbs]

My opponent has Gawn and Martin

Same

Petracca is making me happy atm

 

[kangars]

My opponent has Gawn and Martin

It's actually amazing how bad both of them are playing

 

[Crowdedtrilogy]

Had Gawn Traded in this last week and had to change due to outs. So Ive missed last weeks 59 and today 22 by 3/4 time. Pretty happy bout that.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Wtf is Gawn doing...

 

[yogibbear]

Petracca doing good. Very happy.

 

[Crowdedtrilogy]

Petracca doing good. Very happy.

Almost downgraded to Petracca, but instead went to Zorko after scores of 122, 110, and 148 in the last 3, and gives me 91 today while Petracca hits 106. Not to mention both Vince and Viney didn't even hit 90 for me.

 

[doona]

Wtf is Gawn doing...

I have no idea. It sucks as well, I am almost tempted to start Currie over him next week as he is my R3

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Papley to Petracca worked out well.

Imagine if those 4 behinds were goals! What a gun.

I dont have him shocking mistake by me

 

[Citrus22]

Need Hunter, Shaw, Merrett and Zaharakis to go hard.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Neale as captain was such a relief and rapt with a 91 from Blakely!!

 

[yogibbear]

It's probably too early... but Petracca could be perma F6 for me unless I'm in a good position to trade him during the byes to a RND13 bye player in round 14. Really doubt my team is going to be done by then though as hilarious as that sounds.

Haha I didn't even realise Blakely got a 91. About time he lived up to the hype!

Checks team... f*#! on the bench.

 

[Citrus22]

Shaw looking at 160 here

 

[yogibbear]

New recruits Hopper and Williams doing alright. Hoping for a little more from Hopper... pretty sure he should junk up for the rest of it tho.

 

[Squibbs]

Shaw looking at 160 here

170+ if the Giants start chipping around in the last. ****ing insane

 

[yogibbear]

Jack Stevens looking like my trade in for next week. Probs at his basement price for the year. Plus his Rnd 13 bye fits my structure.

Although I guess Sidebum would be the better option... just not sure on spending all that cash.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Shaw as captain, this feels good

 

[yogibbear]

Shaw as captain, this feels good

It's times like these I question my stubbornness against fielding a defence entirely of players 30+....

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Shaw (C) & Ward

But something like 6 scores of 40-60 and 1 score of 22 just scrapped 2k.

 

[mic59]

Why do I keep second-guessing myself? I was going to have Shaw as my skip and changed it to Riewoldt at the last minute. Riewoldt is 52 at half-time, not bad but not what you want from a captain, and Shaw got 176. I still did well from that game with 3/404, Shaw(176), Coniglio(136) and Hunter(92).
Not that it will make all that much difference, I'll still score about 1900 and lose all three leagues by about 150+ to teams that had a full complement of players when injuries and the fact I gave Michael Barlow an extra week to force his way back into the Dockers team means I could come up with only 20.
At 3/4 time Riewoldt is 87, having scored 35 in that quarter. There will be a considerable difference in scores had I chosen Shaw, likely to be something over 50.

nice work there by Heater... nice work there by Heater...
