Game Day 2022 Fantasy Round 8 - Matchday Discourse

[Verdun66]

1521/16C

6 players tomorrow. Been travelling so not keeping as close an eye on things as usual. Seems a poor score by me so far. Neale as C didn’t quite finish it off, but not a disaster.

Some really poor scores. Too many rookies and duds. Dropped from 59th to nearly 400th. Hopefully climb back a bit tomorrow.

Special mention to Hobbs. Was going to drop him this week, but couldn’t in the end. A great 95. Saved me!

6 seems a high number for tomorrow. Should climb back up.

 

[Shadow89]

My forwards. Thank fu** for the ‘rookie sensation’ Nic Martin!

View attachment 1394969

He ain't a rookie anymore - he's now in the Top 10 averaging forwards for the year - that's how good he is

1. Dunks
2. English
3. TT
4. Moore
5. Heeney
6. Treloar
7. L. Parker
8. Gresham
9. W. Brodie
10. N. Martin

 

[Neale4brownlow]

F6? Try F3!! Duncan back to his rightful deputy spot in my side, but Parker gets demoted to F4 and Rozee, Cogs and Butters can sit in the car and think about what they've done/what their coach has done to them - and compete for the last 2 spots

I can't reorder my team in terms of actual recent form or Martin would be F2 and the fans might start questioning why a 190k forward is better than those I signed up for 3 times that.

But Leon's still got a job so maybe there's hope for me yet.

As far as I'm concerned Martin is a keeper. No point trading to a forward that might get 5/10 more points per game. Waste of a trade that could be better used elsewhere.

 

[JDavey]

1629/17C

Gawn, Cripps, Dawson, Bowey, Carroll to come.

I've dropped from ~1.3k to ~4.4k but 199 of whats in above not yet counted (Spray VC + NOD E). Think I'm going to remain about 500-550 points away from first this week. Need to start making up ground!

 

[Verdun66]

Steele, Gresh, Sinclair, Gawn, Oliver and Cripps. All good ‘uns you would think. Touch wood.

6 seems a high number for tomorrow. Should climb back up.

[Jcpdragonx]

1633C (Neale) with Carrol, Cripps, Gawn and Clarry. Hopefully crack 2000.

Forward line is a shambles, Butters gets his farewell game vs North.

Rowell gotta go, bank 60k to Darcy Cameron

5 Premo def + Daicos has been the best thing all year, have made 1 trade in that line since R2 to get NOD.

Not sure on Cooper Stephens JS but thought he was alright today, maybe grab him.

Coop will get a block of games - so should be good 'til our bye, IMO. Hoping Clark misses this week so I can bring Coop in instead on the bench and do an upgrade

 

[mitchzz]

Guess who brought in Titch this week

Even in his awfulness this year, he was consistent. Until tonight

But Leon's still got a job so maybe there's hope for me yet.

I can't see Leon keeping his job after this week, IMO. It's cliche as f*ck - but he definitely looked like he'd 'lost' the players, and already had his papers stamped from what I saw today

 

[Shadow89]

Swapped Dunc from mid to fwd at the last moment with Nic Martin - as I was worried he might be one of the ill players - and needed cover. Look at ol' Mitchy at F6 just strutting his stuff:

 

[tigs2010]

Gold Coast may have won but they really ****ed up my nice midfield. How did they win without these 2 doing anything and Anderson out?

 

[Exambolor]

18/1621 (c)

My Lions trio (Rich, Neale, Lyons)!helped me get my ranking out of the stubborn 25000s

It’s POD city with half of my last four players being POD’s. Keays, Steele, Gawn and Laird.

Went with Laird over Crippa so hope he has a blinder.

 

[mockingbeat]

1973 with Cripps to come. Sitting at 907 but expecting a big slide with only one player from two games. Sean Darcy

as the two trades this week have helped mitigate some bad scores (Simpkin/Rozee/Butters/Cogs/Dunks).

 

[JADED]

Race you to the bottom mate !!

I'm in.
You and I both have a midfield to gloat about and a fwd line to hide.
(Although 3 tonnes in my fwd line this week is amazing)
My back 6 are pretty bad outside of Crisp

 

[Tippaz]

1654 from 18

with Neale(c) and McCartin on the bench
Cripps, Carroll, Gawn, Gresham to play
Rowell and H-Francis need to be upgraded... Butters needs to lift !!

Steele, Gresh, Sinclair, Gawn, Oliver and Cripps. All good ‘uns you would think. Touch wood.

[Maurice Mitchell]

Haven't got much right this year but Brisbane looked like they were headed for a good scoring patch. Was looking like 85 - 100 for Hugh, but then he turned it on in the last quarter.

Not very often they outdo your hopes.

Gold Coast may have won but they really f’ed up my nice midfield. How did they win without these 2 doing anything and Anderson out?

Touk 122 and Rowell 88 in SC - both had big impact on the game even if it didn't hit the stat sheet

 

[freo_leo29]

I'm having a rotten run the past 3 weeks

and my oppo each week keeps having gifted runs, 3 losses in a row

My oppo fields Hobbs for a 94 and SDK for a 65, thats crazy

That is one of the frustrations. I have Hobbs on the bench, with no way of getting his score. And after last weeks anonymous 30 - there was next to no clue he'd go so big this week.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Guess who brought in Titch this week

Even in his awfulness this year, he was consistent. Until tonight

Genuinely thought he would carve up last night, wtf is wrong with me?
so far off the mark it isn't funny. Something is on the nose at Hawks.
He'll be a chance to get dropped this week after that with Sammy needing to make a statement.

Edit: Round 17 2015 Titch dropped his last deuce a 41.

 

[Penski]

If Clark was okay this week, I would have had Hobbs on the pine as well. It was pure chance that he gets on the field. Also, before Crouch was omitted, i was trading out Blakey. Instead I hold Blakey and trade out Crouch to Neale.

Outcome, I get Hobbs (95), Neale (113), and Blakey (98) all coming good together, and I'm still a chance at 2100 going into today.

same... Hobbs was playing forward last game, and couldnt get near the ball... i played cooper stephens over him.. yuck....

Anyway, at least Hobbs has kicked off his cash gen again.... but its anyones guess whether he'll get midfield time or not each week
