Got a Random Question? Ask it Here. (Part 2)

fletchisgun, you're pretty thin on forward premiums so i'd hang onto brown.

you have a fairly solid bench there so i'd probably go gumbleton -> playfair and then say medhurst -> pavlich.

So you're forward line would be:

O'Keefe, Gia, Pavlich, Pods, Brown, Ziebell, Gray (Rockliff/Playfair)

If you're so worried about Brown you could also swap him for Rockliff.

 

[fletchisgun]

thanks.
dont know yet.
im scared rockliff will stay out of the team. gumbletons guaranteed a match every week
also thinking goodes?

 

[hedgehog]

With the injuries that the Lions have Rockliff will stay in for at least the next 2 weeks. In 2 weeks time he'll be ~220k and you could trade him down to Trent Dennis Lane or someone like that, and then upgrade Ziebell or Gray to Goodes.

 

[fletchisgun]

thinking i might do something extreme and downgrade gumbleton and gray for watts and playfair then next week upgrade brown and medhurst to goodes and pav

I persisted with Grey cause he had an awesome Nab Cup campaign but he is not playing the role now that he was then and hence not picking up good enough scores to hold his spot. 1 100+ score from his games is not good enough.. and he had to kick 5 to get there. His price hasn't dropped yet though which is good cause he has a nice price tag.. Sylvia you can directly trade to, or the better trade would probably be Ziebell > TDL, Gray > Chapman. Keep Pods he is averaging well and hold on to Rockliff for now as he will make some more coin still.

Having gumby on the bench is a good move, i got rid of him for a cash upgrade from Jaensch but he had to go and get drunk and get banned and now has to force his way back into the team...

what do you guys think is a reasonable amount of trades to leave for LTIs? at the moment, i'm planning on having my team set with 5 trades left over. Is that likely to be enough?

Well partly it's luck whether you cop injuries and if so how many, so who knows.

Anyway I would say 5 is fine so long as you have reasonable bench cover (i.e. one playing emergency in every area).

I will have 5 once my final upgrades are done in the next two weeks, and I have cover, so I'm fairly comfortable with that.

 

[Jolldo87]

Depends who you have in your side (durability wise) and how strong your bench is. The better your bench and the more durable your premiums the less trades you will need. Obviously there will be exceptions to this such as a durable player copping an injury but it definitely helps to have durable players and a strong bench.

You can see which mods are online again which will make one person particularly happy.

Any mod that sees the post I just deleted, yes, i'm an idiot.

 

[Axe]

A funny one though.

 

[The_Undertaker]

I have Davis, Rockcliff and Hitchcock in my fwds at the moment. Next week I plan on downgrading one and then upgrading another one to someone like Goods. So I was wondering which one out of those three would have the best job security and I should leave on the bench as cover?

 

[Cartman121]

I think the answer to this question is "no its only a FA" but i'll ask it anyway:

If a player tackles a player and his arm slides onto his neck (say), and its a high tackle, is it 4+(-3) = 1point? Or is it just -3?... I think its just -3 but it should be changed.

Montagna received a +1 last week for this exact scenario. Was watching the championdata live play:

Montagna Tackle +4
Montagna FA -3

I dunno if they leave a record of the game up? Could be able to check it...

The only way this can happen is if there are two distinct tackle attempts made. The first being legal and the second, seperate tackle, being illegal.

4 points are awarded for a legal tackle, a high tackle is not legal and is therefore not a tackle.

I would assume the scenario you describe with Montagna would have been something along the lines of him tackling his opponent, and possibly disposessing him, then immediately grabbing hold of him again after the player regained the ball, this time going high. It would have to be two distinct tackles/attempts.

Of course, It's always possible that Champion made a mistake, and possibly corrected it at the end of the quarter.

 

[kfleong2000]

CD are pretty good with the corrections after each quarter ends, and yes it does have to be two distinct tackles for that to count.

As an aside, even if you have your player give away a free kick for kicking out on the full, your player still gets +3 for the kick and does not get a -3 for a free kick against. I presume it's because the kick is legal whilst the high tackle situation is not.

 

[Benatration]

To start Hitchcock or Jono Brown? JB is injured and out of form while Hitchcock is in good form and playing Richmond.
I'm leaning towards Hitchy but if I do start him he'll score 40 and JB will get a 100 knowning my luck.

 

[Cartman121]

Play the percentages and start JB.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Start JB for sure. Might as well trade him if you're gonna be benching him.

To start Fyfe (vs North) or Rockliff (vs Coll)??

Well thats stupid then. Trade someone who you'll know will be good again. It's wasting a trade

Does anyone else's browser shit it self every time you open the afl dt site?

I'm running firefox with a decent computer but it slows everything to shit.
Most of the time it's quicker to close it, do what you want, then open it and log in again... Why the ^#&%?

Edit: Are you f'in serious. Better yet, the timer going from 13 mintues to go, to lockout. I mean wtf. Sort your shit out.

Gray > Goodes
Gumby > Playfair

We will never know

Double edit: OMG im so pissed off right now. Spent like 5 hours today deciding what to do, and the stupid site decides to decieve me. Fair enough if it craped itself and not load, but I mean it down right cheated me.

 

[footycool]

IS the CD liveplay working for anyone else?

It just says "No games found"

 

[Notorious_29]

Yeah not working for me either bud.

 

[footycool]

Liveplay not working again

 

[oddsok]

Liveplay not working again

Glad I'm not the only one. Very strange.

 

[Max Power 81]

Liveplay is now working

 

[Ess_don]

Hey sorry, another random/prob obvious question... Is this what a player gets when he takes a grab and slots it through?

Mark (3) + Kick (3) + Goal (6) = 12points? (7pts if it was a behind/hit the post?)

Also if it was touched on the line (rush behind) does the kicker get the 1point?

Cheers
