Game Day Round 3 Discussion

Can't believe Stewart is actually playing

Subbed off for a rest in the third quarter

17(c) / 1723

Mixed feelings about Constable being dropped. On the downside he may have trouble getting back in but on the plus side he isn't the sub and I get Bakers (E) score of 95.

Miller, Gulden, Chandler, LRyan and Gibney to play.

A bit of a first for me this round. Don't think I've ever before traded out a player (Gawn) with an injury only to have his replacement (Cameron) go down with the same injury in his first game as replacement.

Frees up Sav to go 70+

Subbed off for a rest in the third quarter

2nd quarter on 37 ideally, get that price plummeting

Take Wilmot’s 69 or run risk with Ginbey?

 

[Jiska]

Got a couple of hours to work out whether or not to take Wilmot's score or field Ginbey. Ginbey has beaten it the first two weeks.

Bank Wilmot. Bird in the hand and worst case you lose 10 points or so.

I would be going Ginbey. Think he looks very good and should beat this easily.

Saw Jiska's post... 1-1 can see the merit in taking it but could see Ginbey posting a near 3 figure score as well...

Stewart late out?

I’d find that very very hard to believe. Geelong never make late changes.

Have not got a close enough look at WCE this season. I’ll take your word for it.

Chesser is straight garbage especially for SC. He can barely touch the pig skin. First round constable had 20+ kicks from memory.

Yep. And Constable doing very well in the reserves. Handy having a DPP DEF/MID loop too. GC have a stack of late games coming up in the next few rounds, except gather round.

 

[Jiska]

No, can't have them all... may look at Reddog as a first upgrade...

Funny. You and I were all over him preseason and kept talking him up and then we both went Ridler instead after that preseason game where he was played in his correct spot.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

So they say… but has anyone actually validated this?

Jokes aside would be an interesting exercise if a few of us picked 1 player for 1 match and applied this logic. Wonder how close or far we’d actually be vs the actual CD score

CD could solve a lot of this by giving a break down of a random players scoring each week. They surely have a record of it.

Could nominate prior to the week ie - this week we're looking at Errol Guldens score, then on Monday publish a list of every scoring act he has. There will always be some subjectivity in awarding various things, but would help a lot.

You rolling with ladhams at r2 from the start? Had a look him and strongly considered. Has a lot of potential and scoring ability. Hes just a nutjob.

Yep, started with Ladhams, but not because I thought he was a keeper but because there were no ruckman I liked so I figured I’d grab a cheapish ruck, use the funds elsewhere and then wait until I saw a few rounds and target that as an upgrade. Just as well because Ladhams score on par with Gawn and Hodor, who were the two I would have grabbed. English comes in next week for Ladhams.

Would allow those that started Madden to trade in Ryan this week, and use Constable as their loop.

Could go off injured in the first quarter too the way this season is going……

 

[Jiska]

For anyone wondering, this is NOT how you take a VC score

 

[South of the Yarra]

High scoring all

Decided to take Wilmot's score. First year players normally have a down day at some stage. He's certainly not built like a first year player, but I'll bank the points. Makes today even more boring now, with only 3 left to play.

 

[Jiska]

This is NOT what I call good news. I just can’t catch a break this year. Hundreds of preseason hours wasted.

It's a fair call, my side is already tanking so i am leaning towards rolling the dice on such choices

I think most of us have done that at some time. Poor bugger. Such a bad feeling.

 

[Plugger35]

1580 with Captain Oliver, Petracca, Chandler, Gulden and Ginbey left for SBS.

No players in the first game with Constable parked on the bench doing SFA.

Come on Ratagolea, throw me a bone here.

I'd have used some DPP magic and taken Phillapou off but atleast he scrapped 51 so only cost me 18 points.

Foreplay these days.......
