Game Day Round 2023 Round 21 Discussion - Celebrate Buddy Franklin!

[Lolaser]

Keep checking every time it opens to see if you’re still Ranked 1. Finish strong mate!!

Cheers mate - have really appreciated the support from here.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Does optimise still switch players across lines with no trades? I have JZ fwd and ND back. Will it move JZ back and Daicos to mid and Davey fwd??

It should.
Just click and see what happens. you can undo.

EDIT: you may need to wait till Daicos is tagged as injured.

 

[rocker_oz33]

No trades .

Sea Mitch or Pelican if can get back to cover little Nicky..

Send treats .

I'm not sure, I haven't tried it.

Yes. It moved Sheezel forward for me.

First rough week in a while! The new second place has Luke Jackson and Sicily and no Dunkley, so gained a ton on me (160 points behind now).

Daicos injury is really rough as I am $3,900 short of Sicily! Probably looking at Docherty, but will decide later in the week. Cannot complain though, had an amazing run so far. Just hope it can hold from here!

Best wishes for the remainder. Lots around you won't have trades left

Overall rank coming into the round: 63rd. Down 23 places to 86th.

An all-round disasterclass

Congrats to Chronz, MacStradbroke, Vineyy and anyone else who bodied me this week.

That's rather weird, but then again - you've earnt lots of 2nd chances, so all good

 

[srobbo]

Lol his score literally hasn't moved since the 3rd quarter despite multiple effective touches and tackles. CD are so rigged

Literally didn’t touch it in the last qtr so his score was pretty apt in the end.

 

[Biggie]

A good rnd, could have been better with Mills 97 on pine burt took the gamble. Jacksons score was a bloody nice surprise.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Strange as s**t, as my ranking didn't budge at all from last week, to still sit 711th overall! Anyone seen this? So my score must've been the actual PAR score around my existing ranking. Crazy!

Daics being out tests the depth, which was sorted until Walshy went down with his hammy. Hopefully he comes back a week ahead of the 2-3 week schedule, with this coming up to his third week out, as it'll allow me to bring him onfield, and swing Doc back into DEF (via Constable) and continue playing Georgie Boy Hewett. Otherwise will have to utilize DPP and rely on looping one of Cincotta/MJ/Seamus Mitchell/Maric.

Thankfully won 3/4 cashie finals, booking a ticket to Prelims and a week off in two leagues, and a Semi Final in the other win, whilst the loss is another look at a Semi Final having had a double chance.

Just hopeful my opponents are also out of trades and in a worse spot than me for these two Semis!

Lesssssgo!

Trending up towards the end of the season, I want my KFC socks.

Don't think I'll get any socks this year, unfortunate after they didn't send me last years, the bastards

 

[croweater 41]

Ranking didn’t cop the flogging I thought it would. Not ideal but I thought it may have been a lot worse.

 

[Sherman41]

On the beers all day yesterday. Pleased to see a decent score, no trades left, Naicos dead. Could be a rough ride home. Owning Titch is not ideal. So hung over.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

2327

 

[Wyn]

2463 and up to around 1700 overall.

1 trade left to cover daicos and still have ridley riding the pine. Might let Wagner cover daicos and then use the trade in the following week for finals

Yeah I've gotta say, despite having a good year, this has been one of the more boring SC seasons I've experienced.

Hopefully Elon Musk successfully continues on his idiotic, self-aggrandising path to destroy Twitter – might get some variation back in our teams, rather than overwhelming group-think.

I have a secondary 'just for fun' team and I take trade risks with it every week.
Started Caleb Daniel.
Have traded in Brad Crouch, Chad Warner, Charlie Curnow. Every random POD I bring in seems to dominate immediately.

Certainly a fun way to play the game.

Genuinely no better feeling than having a ripper week off the back of a big POD score. Just need to ensure the majority of your side is as vanilla as possible so you don't lose too much ground on their bad weeks.

I think more trades is the main culprit. The SC content just add to it. People are sideways trading keepers for fun.

I really think removing ownership % until after round 1 is complete would have big impact. Yes there's a heap of content out there to help people choose who to pick, but it would still remove the "forced" picks. In preseason you always hear things like "I'm not sold on X, but he's in 40% of teams, if I don't take him and he goes nuts, I'm screwed", or the opposite in "I really want X but he's a huge POD, and PODs never work".

DPP almost essential with the way injuries are going so Doch a good shout. I guess the other option is move Sheezel back and look at a M/F such as Butters, or even grab Jackson to cover one the second place POD's.

Good luck!

I think the early season injuries filtered lots to the same players.

Interesting the comments about SC being boring this year. Tend to agree.

Absolutely this ! ....the available talent became very thin

An example would be Stewart and Doc going down early season. Most probably went to Daicos before his price rose too much.

He was $644k by round 6 so without the injuries many would have missed him and he would have still been a relevant player.
