Round 2 Discussion Thread

[Nelso]

519 from 5

Reasonable start

I won't take Pendles score as VC, I will hope that Danger gets more.

Big night tonight with Bont, Dahl, Macrae and JPK lining up.

 

[Didstar]

3/339 although have butlers score as E so can take the 65 and effectively be 4/404.

Butler vs eddy/parfitt/pickett?

 

[Nelso]

Gee does anyone else think $2.80 for Sydney vs WB is about as tasty as a two-horse race will get all year?

Very good team for $2.80...

Maybe I will have my first punt of 2017. Perhaps I will even throw in an angry Hodgethorn for an almost 6-1 multi...

They were ordinary last week. We smashed them around the packs.

Dogs have too many options in the midfield plus the Swans are playing 3 debutants. Dogs will win comfortably.

 

[TheOz]

Nank went at 33% HTA. 18 hit outs to Grundy's 45. 14 contested possessions would have boosted his score.

On last week's form you take it. I'm 4/404 too.

Eddy has been dropped

Eddy has been dropped

Source?

edit: nvm found it

 

[TheOz]

Eddy has been dropped

Reckon that that is ridiculously over-reactive if its true. Don't mind it though, I love carnage.

 

[Underarm]

45 to 18 hit outs though.

Don't tell me Nank had more HTA than Grundy.
Grundy 2 more possies, 1 less mark and 1 goal 1 compared to Nank. Plus he had a better DE%. That's more points not less. Add the HTA and there's no way Nank is with in 12 points of Grundy.

The extra disposals are handballs which score less. The DE% would be because of the handballs.
Hit outs are worth nothing if they're not HTA and nank had a high HTA ratio last week.

Having trouble opening it Nokia 3310

Open this

These rookies are confirmed to miss or look like they might make way: Goners: Eddy, Smith, probably goners: Hibberd, Mountford, Preuss, Parfitt.

Parshitt will not be dropped. Not with Nakia out.

Cats is a tough one. Obviously I'm no Cats supporter but from what I can see, it's:
Smith will come in, Cockatoo is out injured
Bews is named, so it's Stewart vs Ruggles vs Bews (2 spots)
Lang and Menagola are named, so it's Parfitt vs Menagola vs Lang (1 spot)

fwiw, Lang was named on field as the Cockatoo replacement

edit: I guess the Cats could be happy with Stanley rucking and Smith misses out

 

[The_Steadier]

Overheard a girl working at the cafe talking about last night's game.

It reminded me there is a football world outside supercoach, and it isn't pretty...

"Adams was hopeless and we really miss Varcoe"

 

[TheOz]

Parshitt will not be dropped. Not with Nakia out.

Dunno, reckon Lang or Menegola could take his spot.

 

[markm106]

Apparently Eddy might be dropped. Rookies are really struggling if he is.

 

[The Lemon]

Dunno, reckon Lang or Menegola could take his spot.

Lang maybe. Menegola is a totally different player.

I still think Parshitt was good, and will only get better. That and Scott likes to give these kids an extended run.

 

[Kadog]

Reckon that that is ridiculously over-reactive if its true.

Very harsh.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Why Parfitt? Thought he was ok. Plus Cockatoo with a broken finger should help him.

 

[TheOz]

Lang maybe. Menegola is a totally different player.

I still think Parshitt was good, and will only get better. That and Scott likes to give these kids an extended run.

If he stays I see Parfitt being a slow burner, churning out 60 odd a game, don't see him producing a big score anytime soon.

 

[The Lemon]

wouldn't be the first time a player named on the ground is dropped from the squad.

 

[TheOz]

Very harsh.

Probably worth just keeping him for now unless you're copping a donut.

 

[The Lemon]

If he stays I see Parfitt being a slow burner, churning out 60 odd a game, don't see him producing a big score anytime soon.

Yep. Not expecting much, but i am expecting him to play until he is injured.

I'll take 60's

 

[TheOz]

I'll take 60's

If he makes $150k by his bye i'll consider that a win.

Got 3 red men in my fwd line.

Awaiting the Norf rookies to get the chop.
