WA is 3 hours behind us in Victoria and SA is 30mins behind us in Victoria(i think)

So yeah, what was it that we were saying about Heath Shaw again?

I believe CFL & Myself were correct in saying he would be shut down, and when he is shut down, he doesn't score well ?

 

[Cleavy]

Should I hold on to Jolly, or trade him? I have Sandilands and Ottens as my other ruckmen.

In your situation I would definitely trade, Jolly's role this year doesn't seem conducive to DT scoring and Otto is wasted on the bench.

when is it do price rises? conclusion of round 3?

Yep

To be fair Heath was terrible today, one of the worst games ive seen him play in a long while, usually he guns it defensively, but today he was pantsed by Petterd and was forced to play close to him for 3 quarters. Yet he still managed a mid 60s score.

I think he just pulled out a shocker, there is no real concern from me until this apparent loss of form continues.

 

[JOELY]

word is he was restricted by an injury today. had a jab to keep him going.

if he is set to miss next week i might consider my first trade... would have to be a 3 week injury+ though.

Why are so many of you awake this early?! I hear birds singing dammit!

Definitely no cause for concern, he'll be a solid player. We were more responding tho those who were hailing Shaw as the next DT superstar, set to average 140 of the back of 1 game.

 

[senrulzisback]

I wouldn't say he was terrible, he was actually very good at times. No junk time or cheap kicking between halfbacks really didn't help him either.

2 questions -

Anyone know about Boomers and Hurn's reports?

And how much of a POS is my computer? It's running as slow as anything..
It's a Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz, 512 MB RAM.. I dont know squat about comps but im thinking its time to upgrade? Or add some sh1t to it? I only use this comp once a week if that. Thoughts?

EDIT: Saw the Hurn thread on the main board.

Depends on what you use your PC for...

Go here: http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/18510/4

Look at the Econobox and the Utility Player and go to an actual PC shop where they build a PC for you (i.e. don't go to Dell or Dick Smith or anything crap like that) and pick one depending on budget and use. The utility player would be for some light gaming and media, whereas the econobox is basically word, excel, email, internet, some media stuff. Those prices are in US though. So add like $200 to them and then add another $100 to pay someone to build it for you.

Then it depends on if you want to keep your monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.

Cheers mate, looks pretty good

Yep, i picked him up knowing he was going to score like a yo yo and because i believe he will average 90 this year. At the moment he is 10 ppg above what i want, so i'm actually very happy as long as these injury concerns aren't true.

 

[IDIG]

Masten 20 touches for 71 pts. With all these rookies around is it time to count my losses and get rid of him?

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

I had a problem with the DT site this week. Once I found out that Gray wasn't playing again, I selected Gumbleton as an emergency. Other ones were Maguire and Martin.

Then just earlier on this arvo while the last game was being played, I noticed that my team didn't have any emergencies selected. So I've missed out on the 76 points for Gumbleton. I know that I definitely had them selected before I logged off on Thursday, as I was contemplating making another change but decided against it.

Has anyone else had this problem before? It must have been a glitch on the sites behalf, but what happens there? I have contacted the site, but doubt anything will come of it.

 

[groovydude]

Guys im pretty sure about this but want to confirm - prices of players increase/decrease at the end of rnd 3/begining of rnd 4? -> that means i still have another round of looking at players, etc?

Im just abit worried with everyone looking like trading this week!

This happened to me round 1 last year, had 3 emergencies then after the lockout I had none, luckily for me I had my starting 22 playing.

Player prices change after this round.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

I haven't played DT for a year or two.

Back when I did though, there was a site that not only gave the BE scores and price changes, but you could also predict a players score for the next several rounds, and see how thir price would change.

I'm pretty sure it was Walesy's 'Too Serious' site, but I may be wrong.

So far, I haven't seen this as a feature on that site, and I haven't had a good look on FFGenie to know if this can be done.

Does anyone know if any of these sites still do this?

i.e. Rather than know how Barry Hall's price will change over the next 3 weeks if he keeps up his average, I'd like to make my own predicted scores, and see how this will change his price.

I might send off a pm to Walesy to check if it was his site, but would appreciate any info if people remember what I am talking about.

 

[Cat for Life]

It was and is his site, that feature is still available.
