Game Day 2023 Round 8 Discussion - where are our Rookies ?

[Wellsy35]

16/1696C. Campaigner of a round.

McKenna, Ashcroft, Rioli, Day, Cogs and Worpel all underwhelming or dropping serious on field. Was also going to do VC Bont/C Naicos via Roberts until yesterday, but went VC Stewart/C Piggy instead, for a 28 point loss, which is frustrating, but can’t complain with a 130+ C. Just FOMO.

Projected 2305, but set to lose all leagues, and have the same 6 as everyone it seems today. One of my leagues has Gulden and Rozee as PODs though. Need both of them to beat LDU by 151 to win that matchup.

Bloody Piggy. 52 at half time. Was looking like finally a low-ish game. Can’t wait to bring him in next week.

I'm hoping I can make it work. Somehow.

Can someone tell the Rat its ok to score more than 88? Done it 3 times this year.

Hes the double-Cowan

 

[Northernsoul74]

Those who watched the Suns v Dees match, did todays game help or hurt Gawn's chances of getting FWD DPP?

I thought he was forward quite a lot early but didn’t watch all of it. Either way he’s just a much better ruck than Grundy and Melbourne aren’t stupid.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Was raining in zero degrees...

There aren’t many better players in the wet than Bont.

who was 66 at halftime and then copped a combo of rubbish umpiring decisions (front on contact not paid and then a push the back against him that wasn't there) and CD harshness, Baker who was admittedly terrible early but got better and who was scaled down as fast as he could score in the last quarter - he basically stayed on 50 while getting 3 or 4 effective touches, and Bont who was awesome and I own but my main opponent had the C on him (I went Olipig) and it's gonna make it real hard to beat him.

Nanderson was awesome

To come:

Steele on debut
Roma

Ziebell
Sheezel

De Goey

Gulden

seems middle of the road

need a big one from JHF, he's unique in 9/10 match ups - Div 6 match is down to JHF v 80 which Anthony Green says its too close to call.

 

[Ingy]

Main league match up is:

Steele, De Goey, Gulden + 47 vs Rozee, LDU, Josh Daicos

, Lloyd.

Think I'm in trouble but stranger things have happened.

All my boys have the potential to go large - just need them all to lol

 

[King Max]

16/1773 Not bad… okish.

Few premos sh*t the bed in last night games. You’re on watch boys!
Apart from that, the team was travelling ok for the round.

Marshall, Rozee, Sinclair, Gulden & Shezzel to finish off the round.
A 2300 plus will keep me happy.

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

14/1394 (C - Pig) and just about to throw the toys out of the cot.

Neale, Sic, Day, Cogs, Macrea, I got 'em all! And seem to have all the fails every week. Ok, Day's a kid and Cogs has always been a flake, but * me, Neale and Macrea should be better than what they've dished up this year. Take out Neale's 176 vs North and it's a blancmange, sub-100 average season. I won't be getting him next year, I think he's cooked as a SC premo.

Anyway, desperate times and all that, I'm going to roll the dice on Davey over JVR's 48.

 

[Jiska]

Was raining in zero degrees...

Didn’t seem to affect Kelly or Shitfield

 

[Jiska]

Will Drury beat 54?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Well it looks like our old mate Maybe Tomorrow might have some bragging rights this week he is having a great round.
Pity he didn't Captain Bont or Anderson probably would have got the weekly

 

[FFB1]

Pretty ****ing sad when your 16 draft players will only score about 200pts less than your 22 classic players.

Back on track after a shocking Friday night. Brayshaw finally delivering was my favourite part.

 

[St Steady]

Will Drury beat 54?

thought his name was blake.

no chance of 54 , LDU will be lucky to get 54

 

[King Max]

Bloody Piggy. 52 at half time. Was looking like finally a low-ish game. Can’t wait to bring him in next week.

Got him in this week. Should have started him round 1, big mistake.
Was looking at other fallen mid premos this week and then thought, just pay up for the little piggy and enjoy watching him every week.

Piggy before Cripps .

But both prob better than one

Which one of you kenties did this?

Commiserations, mate.

However, I distinctly remember you having an absolute stinker of a year last season and being quite disenchanted with the whole sitch…

Fast forward to 23’ and you’ve had a ripper of year if I’m not mistaken?
