Round 2 discussion

[Zevon]

hibberd and Taylor adams need to go for me. what the hell is bucks doing with playing treloar and adams in the forward 50? he's lost the plot!

Adams is on the chopping block for me as soon as lockout lifts too. Like you, I'm blaming Bucks squarely for his poor showings in round 1 and 2... That forward role is horrendous! Shame too because I was really confident choosing him as a nice POD but all he's done is cost me dollars and points. Looking forward to the rage trade already.

 

[JDWCE]

Taranto looked good again. I am tempted to bring him in this week. Happy I left it a week with Hogan's score though, especially seeing him run through the middle. A KPF getting 20+ possies was a welcome site, and 15 possies the week prior. Could be something to keep an eye on

 

[WCEbrody]

Apart from his first quarter, Treloar has looked solid enough across the first 2 weeks.

To put it into context, Lachie Neale has only scored 5 extra points in the opening 2 rounds.

Agreed. I'm happy to give Treloar a bit longer. I think Taylor Adams owners (of which I am one) have a lot more to be worried about than those rocking with Trel.

by the way, oliver is a fricken gun!

Treloar is injured

Treloar is carrying a groin injury while he looks serviceable too much risk in a premium being a late withdrawl for my liking, and he's not hitting the high notes he can. I'll be looking at moving to another premium that looks like they'll go 110 each week. Fyfe a chance with their home draw run I'll be watching Westhoff without Ryder very closely too. Then look to get ZMerrett or MCrouch on the rebound.

Fair enough if the rest of your team is set. Just not a high priority for me right now, especially because i already started with most of the ''underpriced premiums'' like Parker,Coniglio etc.

Holding Treloar until Merrett bottoms out would be ideal.

 

[Keystone agony]

Treloar firmly on the chopping block as he was last week. The good thing is next week we will know if hes playing or not vs the blues Friday night.

Nick Coffield very likely to come in for me.

Targets:
D.Martin - he just feels so safe
Tatanto - Ive been considering for a long time, will have to re watch role
Coffield - Will debut next week. Might be able to sit a week on him
Jaegar

I'm also contemplating moving Trel to Taranto. Taranto looked very good again yesterday and he pumps his scores up with tackles which is good to see. With the injury to Scully and Whitfield spending more time down back, it bodes well for his role in the middle of the ground. I'm tempted to bring in Whitfield over Taranto though to save me the headache of having to get him when he inevitably gets DPP

Alot for me depends on how much confidence English can give me as a rookie on field in the forwards today.

ATM.
Treloar > Jaegar
W.Frampton > Taranto

Taranto becomes F5 with just one more spot to finish off there.

How much onball time did Taranto get yesterday?

Definitely interested to see how JOM goes today.

I have a lot more faith with English on the field than a guy like Waterman or Langdon at this stage. Although Langdon came good considering his injury scare and the fact he was on zero at quarter time.

Taranto seems to be playing in between the arcs the entire game. Pure wing role. Probably taking Whitfields old role with his move down back

 

[LordHaart]

Now 15/1201 . Neale my only three-figure player .

If I can squeeze past 2K I'll be overjoyed.

Taranto looks really good, and is looking like being my new F5 if all goes well. Still very close to just rage trading Billings for him, but will hold for one week given that pretty much the whole Saints side sucked, much like Freo and Fyfe the week before.

Yeah....don't trade Billings, man...

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

1349 with 8 to come. One of those 8 is getting Lairds extra 141 as VC. Was disappointed with Gawn, Stef, Billings and thought i might be below par until i came into this thread.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Why trade Billings? Still guaranteed top 3 forward and probably only Buddy has a higher ceiling.

Taranto looks really good but Bundy doing well means it would be hard to get him in next week.

 

[The Joker]

You'll be very disappointed, I'm expecting donuts today


I am going to hold off on Whitfield until after the Freo match. I just cant trust Ross to let him run free!

Treloar -> Cogs is set

I am going to keep Merrett, the tag wont come every week and with the Dogs next, he could go big!

I have Clark and Bolton on the bench who arent doing enough for their price tag.

Billings has Adelaide, Geelong, GWS, Hawthorn and Melbourne coming up. What role does Richo have for him, if it's like Friday he needs to go, ASAP. Walters was in my team during the PS, could go back to him. Westhoff???

 

[samFFC]

Exact same boat as I'm in. Have around 315K to play with and have a 1263 at the moment with 9 to play. I'll take a 2100 this week or even a 2050 after the calamitous affair that has been this round. This is literally all the premiums or promising mid pricers that had a shit week and the round isn't even done:

- Gawn
- S. Martin
- Zerrett
- Adams (seriously, what a fall from grace)
- Greene (not his fault)
- M. Crouch
- Billings (rage)
- Petracca
- McGrath
- Hibberd
- A. Young
- Beams
- Sandilands
- Roberton
- Goddard

Someone has been hit by at least 3 of those I would say, maybe 2 if you're lucky.

I have Gawn, Zerrett, Billings and Beams!
Definitely think 2050-2100 will be a very good score this week - and I suppose that will go up or down 50 depending if Titch is more like 100, or more like 150 tomorrow!

 

[Shadow89]

Nah I won't, just pissed at him which will subside by the time Tuesday rocks around. I always give bad scorers 2 games in a row, sometimes 3 if they're valuable enough, to judge whether it's a trend or just an anomaly for that round.

I put Sic Dawg in my forward line this week via DPP, so he'll just go back to defence and I'll pluck someone from there if need be. Happy with Bundy's effort this week, which reflect what I thought his output would be. Should make me a decent amount of cash too

Nah I won't get rid of Billings. Just that knee-jerk reaction when your top forward scores the same as the second worst scorer on your field

The Hoff is a big watch while Ryder is out.

 

[Shadow89]

The Hoff is a big watch while Ryder is out.

Nearly put him in this week, given that I expect he should score hundreds consistently with the Ruck role added on to his forward/roaming role. Will see how he goes against a quality side this week though.

 

[The Joker]

Could Cripps, Martin, Dangerfield, Fyfe and Treloar be DPP at first chance?

 

[Keystone agony]

no

 

[Shadow89]

Could Cripps, Martin, Dangerfield, Fyfe and Treloar be DPP at first chance?

Cripps still played more than 50% in the mids, so I'd say he's unlikely. Same with Dusty and Fyfe. Treloar, possibly, given that's what happened to Sidebottom last year. Danger I'm unsure of, as it is very possible that he could play more forward than mid over the coming weeks. Literally every team will get him if he does though haha.

Only near guaranteed DPP is Whitfield with DEF status, at this stage

Oh, I wasnt aware of the 50/50 criteria!

How about Lobb? And Blakely is a guarantee now!
