Round 6 Venting and Discussion thread

[JADED]

Do we think Dylan Shiel is an genuine upgrade target.... Is playing more Fantasy friendly at Essendon, Avergaing 107 this year. 127 and 136 in last two? and will be priced around 700K next week. Thoughts?

Would be a great unique to have right now.

 

[bol316]

Yeah I moreso meant less sideways moves now, I brought in Zerret over Whitfield last week because I think Zerret has hit his lowest price, Whitfield should come down eventually.

OMG yes and Merrett was like 150ish cheaper for you, right? Had him for 3 weeks now and no regrets

Not sure what i think of this week so far....

Certainly a mixed bag there!

5/511 so far. Hoping for a big game from Rocky for my C. Hoping my other midfield premo's fire this week too, need to repay me for last week's abomination

7/710 (VC) Taking Grundy......Benching Constable and fielding Hately to access Ross's E of 92

Then Hately will be a late in (or so some think)

Yep, then watch Hately pull a 30 and Constable 90+

Since I think I'm a chance of winning my main league this week, I think I might do the ROB upgrade, even though it's using cash I could use for an on-field upgrade next week... Banking on the Port rookies reaching their BE's against North so that I can move 2 on next week instead.

It's B Crouch, B Smith, Taranto, Whitfield, Scrimshaw & Petrucelle VS. Witts, Witherden & 240 points.

Both of my opponents have Witts & Witherden actually, really need them to have a poor one!

 

[TedDougChris]

Someone (read everyone) reassure me I am doing this right.

VC on Grundy.
C on Flynn - on field
English on ruck bench, with E.

Profit ???

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since I've majorly stuffed up my rookies to field almost every week, would love some help on these!

Field Rozee or Scrimshaw?

Field (1 of) Atkins, Duursma or Gibbons?

 

[The Joker]

Ehh, one round and was being tagged. He's Dusty and he's a forward. That automatically brings down the average he needs to hit to be viable. Richmond will get straightened out soon enough and he will be "Dusty" again. I picked him up and i dont regret it

Getting Martin in last week was 100% a mistake. Your 'one bad round' should be more like one good round from five starts and a weeks suspension. There has been nothing to suggest he needed to be brought in off the back of one good round.

Move him on before he costs you valuable dollars as his BE this week will be over 120.

Scrim against my boys Carlton will have a job on one of the big 3 fwds, Rozee against north ill go, ill prob go Gibbons, i liked his role last week

Rozee for me, at home against a North side that’s leaking points. Scrim should be fine too but Rozee gets the nod for me.

Gibbo was awesome last week playing a truer mid role and should keep that role with Setters still out of the side? Atkins is playing against a usually-restrictive West Coast and Duurs has been average in his last few although he is playing North at home. I’d go Gibbons.

 

[Keystone agony]

Stack 54
Ross 92
Grundy 246
Brayshaw 104
= 496/5

18 players to come

Agree with this. Martin is a poor pick at this current point in time. He needs to show a few games at least of consistency. He’s always going to be the first tagged. Even his 110 a few weeks ago, he needed 3 snags to get there. Not going to do that every week

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Big night tonight coming up from my port players hopefully!

Rocky (C)
Boak
Rozee
Drew
Duursma

Hopefully get a big game from rocky and boak and one of the others ton up!

For those Hately owners ... https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-04-26/key-giant-fails-to-train-ahead-of-buddy-battle
Don't trade him out just yet if you already have him.

 

[Shadow89]

No point getting Dusty in, while Riewoldt is out. While those owners who had him couldn't have foreseen Riewoldt doing his PCL, bringing him in any time before all of Caddy, Lynch and Riewoldt are playing up forward together, is a big mistake. He'll play forward for quite a bit, to compensate for Riewoldt, meaning he won't get the mid time needed to consistently ton up. Was a target when DPP's were announced, but quickly shifted back to reality when I realized that he'll be the number 1 tagged each week (without Cotch in) and that's only when he plays mid

FFS, lol. Had him locked all week until all this hoo hah. My mentality right now, is that if he's on the cusp that much anyway, that his JS is not that good after all. Not sure if I want to pay 270K for someone who's not guaranteed a game each week

Both in agreement, that's good! And also both were different to what I had - since I've been rubbish at picking, this seems like a good thing too. I wasn't planning on moving Rozee back, but I had to swap him with Burgess to get Corbett. In hindsight I would have made Scrim my E rather than Stack, but hopefully no harm done there.

Thanks guys
