Round 8 Discussion

[Butler]

SJ and Cripps...not horrible but meh

Last min change to bring Cripps on for CEY not looking too smart. SJs second half was promising but have an overwhelming feeling I've made a mistake bringing him in.

Blicvas is a DT gun

Johnson just didn't spend any time in the middle which is surprising considering Duncan was out. Would be very worried.

 

[CrozaN]

Selwood just got +11 after the siren LOL. GO SELWOOD

 

[swans4eva]

Selwood and old mate Kade Simpson repaying the faith. Doesn't seem like too bad a start after all.

Lol cheers bro

Seeing as Carlton is his worst team jury's still out but yes, he didn't look anywhere near it when the heat was on.

 

[go you pups]

Here's hoping this means good things for this round, well at least a better round than last week please!!!

Yes true, thought I was on the Bay for a sec, everyone was melting I moved up 500 spots at least......I melted the week before I think though lol

Surely I have to get my highest score for the season so far this week or go close, will be disappointed with under 2100 so far into the season after a week of significant improvement also via trade/Lewis, Saad and CEY coming back. I've only cracked 2000 twice with 2045 my highest score so far. Poor season to date with the injuries and underperformers, 2x 2000, 3x 1900 and 2x 1800 so far and I'm ranked 821st .

Some low predictions floating around this week, I have Laird 64 and Griffen 66. Surely they will get that. Barlow only 77 and Rockliff 59 I might add

Opening my account tomorrow with Newnes and NicNat, 16 playing tomorrow and 6 fairly vanilla types on Sunday except Hibberd.

 

[CrozaN]

Well my projected total is 2177 this week if that means anything....lets hope it actually turns out that way haha!

Opening game tomorrow has my 2 defenders, new recruit Yeo and Newnes....hopefully 2 good games from both of them

 

[go you pups]

Yer mine is 2146, playing Gingy after his big week avoiding carnage, he was predicted 2148, should go down to the wire.

 

[doona]

Mine is 2191, doubt I'll get anywhere near that though

 

[go you pups]

Bryce Gibbs subbed off and Scott Selwood in the subs vest, potential bench cover candidates in a couple of weeks.

Bargains looming around the byes, Brodie Smith also

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Steven captain

 

[go you pups]

Steven captain

Averaging 113 isn't he?

Out of the Griffen, Swallow, Steven and Neale underpriced premos, the younger two have killed it so far this year, with Steven being more consistent though. Will he get more than Parker did last week? On track to push it

 

[go you pups]

Typical Newnes, looking solid at HT, now gone to sleep

 

[go you pups]

******* Laird concussed and he was getting heaps of the ball too

 

[go you pups]

WHAT IS UP WITH INJURIES THIS YEAR FFS, can never get a clean ******* run at it

 

[CrozaN]

New recruit Yeo has backed up last weeks performance...but now looks like he will cop weeks by the MRP....sigh.

 

[go you pups]

Urgh
At HT I'm looking ok with:
Newnes 45
Nic Nat 44
Griffen 56
Laird 40
CEY 35
Kelly 30

At FT:
Newnes 77 poor 3rd quarter (-13)
Nic Nat 78 put his feet up late, happens most weeks with him (-10)
Griffen 93 put his feet up late (-19)
Laird 54 stretchered off halfway through the 3rd and was on track for 80-90 (-26)
CEY 56 poor 3rd quarter (-14)
Kelly 50 poor 3rd quarter (-10)

Kills ya team when no one decides to go on with it in the second half based on from 1st half projections, that's 92 points missing (ie another premo), can only give Ward a tick with his 106, Griffen should've cracked the ton and NicNat/Newnes 80-85.

New recruit Yeo has backed up last weeks performance...but now looks like he will cop weeks by the MRP....sigh.

Surely not. His hand was heading towards the ball and it was at the time of the mark.

 

[CrozaN]

Surely not. His hand was heading towards the ball and it was at the time of the mark.

Yeah i know, but will be looked at, the fact it caused him to bleed and subbed him off, they will look at that regardless of when the contact was. I am worried, hopefully no more than 1-2 weeks.

 

[CrozaN]

Kolo has been awesome last month , glad i kept him.

 

[Butler]

KK and Bennell doing me proud. Unfortunately no Swan or Pendles and Oxley was traded out this week so that puts me back a bit. Saad was solid enough.

Big game coming up. Lewis (C), Parker and Titchell.

 

[Butler]

1539 with Ebert, Gray, Dusty, Bontempelli, Bellchambers, Goodes and Krakouer to come. Really should get to 2100 but who knows.

 

[go you pups]

1589 with Heppell, Bellend, Spuderd, Bont, Gray and Dusty to come. Probably get 2050 but who knows what those Essendon duds will throw up this week.

Damage done this afternoon from my Adelaide contingent

Higgins but not enough from other PODs

 

[amazingjoshy]

1369 with Hogan, Lumumba, Dahlhaus, Bont, Gray, Dusty and Rocky (c) to come

Yeah i know, but will be looked at, the fact it caused him to bleed and subbed him off, they will look at that regardless of when the contact was. I am worried, hopefully no more than 1-2 weeks.

Richardson said the Yeo hit wasnt the reason for the sub...no way he goes for that regardless. Shiels did the exact same thing in the game tonight and it barely rated a mention.

 

[go you pups]

Make that 1590 and carrying my 2 Essendon spuds.....

If Laird comes up next week I'm bringing in Jacobs I reckon

 

[CrozaN]

1268 with 9 left to come...doing alright but not as good as i hoped...most likely going to lose Elim at this stage.
