Round 1 discussion

[spangleduck]

So many hyped up players scored well, I imagine this is why the "par" score is surprisingly high this week. It will be interesting to see how these players go over the coming weeks, and how these initially high flying teams fare.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

Ranked 6464 overall

 

[Milang_Panthers]

2121 to be ranked 45888th

 

[carnthemlions]

2133
Not great, but could've been a lot worse as well. Brown over Adams and Gresham over Hewett hurts, should be fine if a couple of premiums bounce back. Seems like a few fairly unique teams scored really well this week, they should come back to the pack soon.

 

[Seppo]

My worst player Dea... it should really say Fyfe with 61 as I had him as Captain!

 

[qarocks]

2216 for 17686th overall - top 9%.

Ill take that.

 

[schnoods]

2207 , not bad considering Fyfe as captain

The reality is if your not in the top 100 by the end of round 3 your not winning the top prize. The further reality is if you are sitting 10k after round 1 your not going to jump into the top 100 by trading in players who had big round 1's. Stick tight with who you picked, and play those rookies on the field who may have let you down round 1 as you can guarantee 95% of the teams ahead of you wont be

My 2 cents

What if you're 101st after 3 rounds?

 

[Blueboys11]

What if you're 101st after 3 rounds?

Then your not going to win the $50k

 

[Santoz]

What if you're 101st after 3 rounds?

Then you won't be winning. Wasn't that explained before?

 

[Listclogger]

2270 gets me top 4%

 

[Didstar]

Think there's more to it than ranking after round 3. There's 20 more rounds and too many variables to consider (byes, injurys, trade management, efficiency in upgrading team). Generally a lot of the top ranking players early on in the season tend to drop off as the year progresses.

 

[Mitchell54]

I managed to score 2155 (with Papley 104 and Adams 82 on the bench)
What did others score?

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Fair enough. Think the game has gone soft but what are you gonna do about it!

Come over to bay 13 you'll fit right in.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

If I'd gone Danger over Pendles and Parker over Selwood I'd be 900th. Hindsights a bitch

Any statistics to back this up mate?

Some guy scored 2136 and I hear another guy scored 2200.

None at all

In fact I'd guess its flat stick wrong.

Wasnt dimmawitts 6000th after rd2?

 

[enobrien]

So funny looking at the early rage trades.
1. Jed Anderson > BenKen
then 2,3 and 4 are all Fyfe out and Parker, Ablett or Danger in.
SC n00bs. Back Fyfe in guys.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

2096 . 5 tons, count them, 5.

FFS!

Ranked 54386

 

[P_Cripps]

Ranked 894. The hard thing is to take this good start and get into the top 100.

 

[Lou07]

2260. Ranked 9328.

Happy that I put the (C) on Danger.

Hope Fyfe and Barlow LIFT next week.

Jed out for 8 weeks i think i heard
Seems a logical trade
Fyfe quad..seems a logical trade too if he misses a couple of weeks.

"The beauty of reverse trade"

Toxic by name, toxic by nature. JK

Yeah wasnt really referring to the first one obviously, just showing people what it was. But come on, you expect Fyfe to get up. Hit the trade button when and if he is not named. I see the benefits of just looking to see what your side will look like however so i do get it. Thank God for that reverse trade button!
