Round 2 Discussion Thread

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

If we manage to find a rookie gem that hits a couple of 100's in the next few...i'll happily cut him early though

 

[TheOz]

Got 3 red men in my fwd line.

Awaiting the Norf rookies to get the chop.

You have Turner right? Looks like he's safe and will get a decent run of games. The rest of them, not so much.

No Turner. Hibberd & Mountford.

Eddy/Cameron fwd outs. Still deciding what to do with Nroo.

Oh yeh sorry got confused. Got Eddy and Cameron too, no playing forward bench players. I would entertain an NRoo -> Macrae trade, I think Macrae as a midfielder will give you a safer set of scores every week, you could be able to pick up some of these key position forwards (JJK, Lynch) later down the track for cheaper once they throw in their inevitable 40 points game. JJK does look in magnificent shape though.

KOTD

Goldy 16p 32 HOs 3 goals for 105.
This type of CD discrepancy in scoring ******* irks me. It's bullshit.

Absolutely he is. Nank did do a lot of good stuff late in the game, but probably not enough to warrant his score. I'll take his inflated score as compensation for them arseholing Laird and Treloar last week.

And Pendles, Pendles deserved 170 last week.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Well he's certainly not screwing them.

There's actually a massive line up behind Rance and Nankervis after Rance taught him the ancient art of KOTD.

But where does the Bont fit into that line?
Also can someone tell Robbie Gray where this line is, he needs a bit of willy kissing to make up for all the times they've shafted him

Apparently Chol knocked himself out during the warm up doing star jumps

I'm surprised that he can walk with that elephant trunk he's carrying in between his legs.

Started with JJK based on he started fast last year and finished with a 97-98 average which is probably gold this year considering the lack of DPP jets, Tom Lynch should be a target after his bye.

JJK looks great but looking over his scoring history, it's put me off somewhat.

Macrae a good option but it would limit my trade options next week. For example if I trade in Steele, I can bring in both WHE and <cough> Nank next week. Question is...I'm unsure about Steele. Thinking Armitage injury will help increase his contested numbers.

I also have this nagging feel to hold Nroo. He's a freak who could be back in a fortnights time.

If you don't hold Roo you cop a donut this week no?

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

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.

That last week though.
I watched the game. No way Nank had as many HTA as Grundy.

Either way Nank received more scaling points without having as much influence on the game as Grundy.

Maybe Robbie needs to bring out the shaft to get the KOTD.

Bont turned it on in the third last week, his game was a 120. I watched the game in bits last night and Nank took some contested intercept marks early.

I agree Robbie Gray last year his low scores confused me.

 

[Kadog]

Absolutely he is. Nank did do a lot of good stuff late in the game, but probably not enough to warrant his score. I'll take his inflated score as compensation for them arseholing Laird and Treloar last week.

His inflated scores kill me when I've paid $220k more for a ruck who has a better stat line and scores less.

What's the point of being different when CD clearly skew the points system for 'their favorites'.

 

[Hack_Watts]

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.

So what you're saying is make it a small wager?

 

[Kadog]

If you don't hold Roo you cop a donut this week no?

I could trade one of Smith/Hibberd/Pickett/Mountford/Eddy for a Hannan type. I'd be playing 4 rookies up front though

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

I am done
Ken can GAGF now

Nank had 6 HTA. 30pts. 95 for the rest. Pfffft.

I absolutely agree. It took everything I have not to start with JJK because im playing far less seriously this year and wanted to pick some players I like. Can't handle the rollercoaster with JJK and if you do - the smart money is waiting until he inevitably hits sub 470k.

 

[TheOz]

Did get 14 contested possessions and clunked a couple of big intercept marks.

Grundy had 12 HTAs from 45 hitouts
Nank 6 from 18.

He's been beaten by the other ruck both weeks, but it's not like he hasn't turned up at all, he's been great. Being in the winning team is probably what ends up being the deciding factor.

 

[Hairy Lager]

Your coach is a flog.
The only 102k starting rookie for the year and he drops him.
****Ken hell!!!

 

[The Lemon]

Was concerned with Eddy, due to that first round in Sydney. A notoriously shit place for a fwd to play.

Now he's ****ed...but might be a downgrade option depending on how long he stays out

 

[Pocket Aces]

Yep lets just ignore the other stuff if your playing as a ruck.
