Anybody who captained Rockliff because the traders said “Pigs love the mud” deserve a low score. That’s such a simpleton reason for choosing a captain. Wet weather = less marks and lower total possessions.
Possessions havent even been that low. It’s usually just marks that are reduced. Oliver did his 160 from only 5 marks which made me think Rockliff might score alright. But obviously I was wrong

More tackles and more ball ups, so actually does help. A Gaff type that relies on marks would be affected, but Rocky/Yeo/Neale types are helped.

Early days still.
Port to win by 30 and Rocky 110 hopefully.

Surely not mate

Haven't enjoyed it this year, and I'm sick of complaining about it, haha. Can't keep up with the constant position switches, alongside the normal injury/rookie issues as well. That's not to mention the constant sporadic behaviour of all my players this season, haha.

I've got a thesis to work on, and I've spent far too much time and brainpower on fantasy this season. Finished 665th last year, despite a plethora of issues. Always felt like I could make a few moves and clean my team up, which I did. This year, however, every pick I've made has been subject to the coaches whimsy. Bray, Libba, Newnes, Dunkley etc. You have to be pretty lucky to be having a decent year this year. Currently ranked around 12,000th or so, so I can probably make the top 5K over the byes, but I honestly just hate looking at my side now, haha. That's the main reason. Next year I'm gonna go back to my strategy of years gone by, of just choosing players who I like watching play - Cogs, Macrae, Duncan, Stewart, Whitfield, Boak etc.

It's a joke that he's also sitting on my bench too. Pay up for this rookie who averages 26 touches in SANFL and he serves me this...will get dropped next week and then I have another deadwood rookie.

He's in my 22 😂

Log in Thursday after teams announced, two minute trades, gut feelings and whims only. Forget about it until the next Thursday when you check scores and trade again.

No time, no stress just treat it like a tipping game. Think I should go this route at least, Fantasy has frustrated me more this year than it usually does.
 
No Stress! I thought he was the best option to.

To be fair, from the options this week, none really a standout so far:

Garner: 11 (halfway through Q2)
Rowbottom: 25
Atley: 8 (halfway through Q2)
Moore: Yet to Play
Young: 55
Baker: 31
Add in Hinge = 41

I thought he'd be the pick of the bunch this week (so I was wrong also) but I wanted a mid so went Baker.
Barely hitting break even.
 
Not sure why everyone is whinging about Rocky and Boak. 90% of teams have them both, they affect you, they’ll affect everyone
29% own boak and 36% Rockliff. That is not 90%. And not all of those people Would have Rockliff captain. That’s why
