Round 1 discussion

[Blueboys11]

Any statistics to back this up mate?

Nope. Just my opinion

By that stage if your 101st you have 100 people in front of you and I'd guess about a 300-400 point deficit. Now unless you have the most unique team ever, there are going to be teams in that top 100 with similar teams to you that are already in front and are going to be trading aggressively at the same fallen premiums etc.

So unless you find a hidden gem or nail your captain pick perfectly each week you can't make up the difference

Happy to be proved wrong but that's just my thoughts

 

[Blueboys11]

None at all

In fact I'd guess its flat stick wrong.

Wasnt dimmawitts 20,000th after rd1?

And after round 3?

 

[toxic]

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!

Gold Coast at home...will he be rested?

Certainly didnt look 100%

 

[toxic]

And after round 3?

From memory 3,000th

But i could be wrong on it being dimmawitts

My bad
Rd2 5897th
Rd3 1680 odd

Fair shout, who knows. Not being a dick to all that chose Fyfe but thats why i steered clear, issues in the preseason and never quite plays every game (can still win a Brownlow without doing so )

 

[Dark Sharks]

Top 37%

* yeah. Line up ladies, i'll show you a good time.

So the only reality in your initial post is that you're talking out of your arse? Thought so.

Ok, I'll amend to top 100 by round 5 as I can see he was 55th by then.

Theory still stands that you need to back your unique players to get into that ranking zone if you started slowly in rd.1

Agreed 100% on backing your gut initially!

Likewise backing your gut to make a change if you can justify it after giving your initial choice a fair chance

Still cranky from the game today?

As long as it's done on Thursday night and not an hour before the match, I can deal with it.

Fyfe to a $550k-$600k mid premo will allow to bank some $$$ and go Hartley/Tippa/Brown to Weitering in round 3

 

[Goats]

Nah it's all good - I had Danger.

 

[cdcanman]

2234. Not too bad.
Fyfe & Barlow the only real disasters.
Wines, Shaw, Gawn and Dusty underperformed but acceptable.
The wins, Duryea, Parker, RGray, Hall.

Papely the only 'seemingly' must have rookie I missed.

Dodged any real bullets

What's the point of amending these numbers when you've clearly done * all research?

Don't state things as a reality when they're just your opinion.

Paps not quite a must have just yet.
Watch and see for Rd2

Duryea is in for a good year. I'm hopeful he'll average 88-93.

 

[NinjaSwan]

40000th or so, better than the 74000th I started at last year lol.

 

[cdcanman]

I'd be happy if he ends up my D6 averaging 90. Think he's capable. Didn't have the best of days today and still scored well. Preferred him to any of the other sub-500k gambles in defence. Perhaps not the same ceiling as Yeo or Lonergan, but a better chance of reaching his ceiling than the others this year. Happy with my decision...so far

He's got Carlton, he'll score 4 goals.

Yeah you need to be top 100 or least close to it after 5 rounds - round 1 scores mean nothing though agree absolutely that you need to stick with your players unless injured, last season I was ~74000th or so after R1 but ended up coming 28th for the round in R2.

 

[Satan]

in top 200k

Jeez thats a massive jump.
Unreal.

I don't think they'll be resting Fyfe coming off a 65 point smashing.

 

[NinjaSwan]

Yeah haha, from my worst weekly rank to my best.

 

[jjsmitty8]

2223, and about 16,000th after round 1.

Lower than expected but still acceptable scores from Shaw, Dusty, Laird, Stef and Gawn.

Disappointing from Barlow, but I'm not the only one wearing that.

Disappointed I didn't back myself in with JJ, but probably balanced out by not taking Adelaide's Lynch.

I've always started slow and left myself too much work to get back (got as high as 130th, finished 1000th-ish) so if I can be averaging 2200-2300 still after round 5, I'll be satisfied.
