Re: Round 15 Review

Thanks. Bartel would be better than Selwood/Boyd in the team of the week I think, but regardless, an excellent writeup.

Re: spud_jjj's Round 15 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Thanks for the support everyone. I've been consistently hitting the 2500 mark and 2 weeks ago scored 2565 with 2 donuts. There goes my chance of SC immortality

Well done mate, very good effort, un-lucky on not getting the highest score but.

Got my highest weekly ranking this week which was 201, pretty proud with that, with Enright and Nick Nat getting poor scores.

I started a thread at the end of last year where posters could give such an award. Even Judd_Magic got a few votes

LOL I could see JM bringing it home if he has a ripper finals series but he'd definitely be in contention for some sort of accolade.

New Kids on the Block

Those about to play their 3rd game:
Defenders: N/A
Midfielders: Jarryd Blair (COLL) $100,200 (Ave 92) - been going great guns, knows where the goals are. Probably came a few week too early for most though.
Rucks: N/A
Forwards: Dennis-Lane (SYD) $94,200 (Ave 42) - Has been dropped, but IS listed as an emergency, could still play against Carlton.

Talking Points

1. Collingwood vs St Kilda - Or is it Malthouse vs Milne? Can't wait for 70,000+ to pack the G on Saturday arvo to see the match of the round.

2. The Week of the CHF - Brown, Riewoldt, Buddy. One injured, one returning and one will be ripe for the picking in 2-3 weeks time. Easily the three biggest players under the spotlight this week.

3. Mitchel IN, Sewell OUT - The Hawks regain their skipper, but drop Sewell due to a poor run of form.

4. Is Ablett still perma-captain material? - Averaging 111 over the last 5 weeks, where he's put up scores of 79, 106 & 97. Personally, I've gone with Selwood (c) & Nicky Dal (vc) this week.

5. Richmond's Streak - Can the Tigers make it 6 from their last 7 against the Kangaroos on the weekend? This guy <<< reckons they can

Buddy out
Herald Sun

This will test peoples forward lines

I wouln't be surprised if PODS was a late withdrawl as well

Buddy and Pods out would hurt me this week At least I can bring Rocky and Hitchcock on this week.

Tonight's players:

Enright, Ablett (C), Selwood, Bartel, Chapman, Pods.

Would like 800 from this group.

When they all get rested soon i won't be laughing about having 6

At least most parts of my field are covered in case

 

[Sunday Red]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

I don't mean to alarm you, but there are a few rumours going around that Gary Ablett is not going to play tonight due to a corkie. Completely unfounded at this stage, but there are a few tweets about it. I look forward to seeing what (if anything) comes of this throughout the afternoon...

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

SEN always run an Ablett out rumour every friday arvo.

I smells bullshit

 

[Sunday Red]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

I'll believe it when the bookies do.

 

[Xtreme]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Only concern i have is Franklin not playing, my overall ranking will likely take a hit at the conclusion of this round.... i should beat my league opponent this round (judging by his run of scores vs mine over the last few rounds). Wouldn't surprise me if i get lower than 2000 this week though.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Anyone got news on Hurn and Waters?
Are they both right to go?

 

[Spudregus_87]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Okay, done!

Sorry it's so late guys, unforseen circumstances meant that I couldn't get this out as early as I wanted.

Garry is out of form, so it's Selwood (c) & Nicky Dal (vc) this weekend for me.

 

[_RT_]

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

No changes to either side tonight.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/98378/default.aspx

Gone with a smoky for Captain this week and given big Sandilands the gig. Averaging 123 at home this year and playing the Dees just seems too good to pass up.

Tonight: Enright Goodwin Ablett Bartel Chapman & Pods. Hoping for a good Friday night.

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Nice work as always spud.

Love the video. My personal favourite is number 2, Quagliarella (lol, think I spelt that right?) against Slovakia. So classy.

Re: spud_jjj's Round 16 Preview, Scores & In-Game Discussion

Gunna give Hodge a crack. Not in the greatest form but he's a champ playing against an average team in Launceston. Should be in for a cracker hopefully.
