Round 7 discussion thread

[QS]

One of those rounds for me. Common players doing well, uniques spudding it, whereas my opponents consistently beat their projected. FMDT.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

810/10. Hartlett particularly disappointing thus far

 

[Suma Magic]

1206/14. Up and down round.

 

[QS]

Hartlett -> Rocky
Someone to Laird (depending on if he's a sub risk this wk).

 

[QS]

1206/14. Up and down round.

1116/14 for me :/ Hoping GAJ has a big one as captain.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

1093/13. Jakey Neade the highlight.

 

[Crawb]

1202 from 14.

Yet to play:
Swan (C)
Pendlebury
Ablett
Scotland
O'Meara
Jacobs
Terlich
Dwyer

Could be anything from shit to par...

I've got the C on Gaz too. I'm predicting a 139 from the great man.

 

[QS]

Ouch. Heath and Stevenson have to go... Didn't realise their BE was so high.

 

[SloppyJoe]

1139/14, struggling at the moment

 

[Butler]

1139/14, struggling at the moment

You're not alone.

1108/14

 

[Scrotes2000]

870/11

Projected 1993

 

[Tippaz]

1079 from 13

Hartlett
Heath
Martin
Vlastuin

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Daw looks to be getting his hands on it a fair bit, another rookie ruck coming good.

 

[mrpig]

Was thinking about starting daw, and moving cox to the Fwds, but was worried about the red vest.
Now mullet is injured, daw will probably survive

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I would say "umad flogs daw as R2" but I know karma will hit me when he gets subbed.

 

[goondog]

Daw on 64pts at halftime
I started him on the field

Me too. Very happy about this thus far.

13/1095

Hartlett, Wines, Mayes, Stevenson sucking

I wish they flipped over the order of the NM vs WB game and one of the previous games, since I neither have, nor am fading, a single player in this game in any of my leagues, and other then Boyd, don't have any real look at getting any of them into my side.

Hate to say I told you so, but I was pumping Ellis up last week, trying to get people to trade him in,
Pulls out an 85 and 128

Hope you guys got on that one

Had him from the start, and was regretting it a few weeks ago. Looked like being a perma-sub. Certainly happy with his last few tho.

 

[goondog]

Magic Door on fire!
Now I feel really weird for cheering on an opposition player

 

[ashley12]

SAT NIGHT SUBS: Johnathan Simpkin (HAW), Jed Lamb (SYD), Hayden Crozier (FRE), Caolan Mooney (COLL).

Eliminator opponent has Crozier Also, a full game for Kennedy

 

[CrozaN]

If Libba doesn't get a 50 point qtr.....then GTFO!

 

[mrpig]

Goldsteins 40pt qtr

Being eclipsed by daw sitting on the pine

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

After two top 1000 finishes (will be ranked in the 10,000s after this week), here is a summary of the bad decisions I've made this season:

Gibbs to Hartlett 2 weeks ago for a combined 69 points in 2 games
Started with Sam Jacobs
Started with JPK
Started with Dangerfield, traded him out after 2 weeks for J. Selwood (who has had 2 60s in that time), and then trade Danger back in this week when Cotchin missed his first game in over 2 seasons (cue a 60 from Danger tomorrow)
Didn't start with Heppell as I thought Grimes was a safer bet (haha)
Missed out on Vlaustin (and I guess also Laird) before their first price rise because of my injury carnage
Still have Heath and Stevenson and have been forced to play them on the field 2 weeks in a row for a combined total of just over 100 points
Will probably have to hold onto Wines another week and lose another 20-30k that he had made because I can't keep those two Port rookie defenders anymore
Sam Mayes may well end up a keeper for me down forward with so many deficiencies elsewhere

Anyone else with sob stories they would like to share?

So far ive had to sideways trade 5 players because of injury or suspension. On that list:
LeCras
Waters
Gibbs
Fyfe
Cotchin.

That has meant ive missed out on picking up cash cows like Heath, Jones, and Mayes. Also means i couldnt trade to Stevie Johnson before his price jump. Now he's too expensive.

I traded out Majak Dawe for Sinclair because i thought Norf werent gonna give him game time, and now Dawe cracks 128....
I missed out on Leuenberger and instead i watch Maric the one-year mullet wonder do fck all.
2 rounds ago i wanted a midfield upgrade. I could have taken Murphy, S.Selwood, or SJ, but instead i choose Jelwood who has barely managed a 90 average.
I missed the Vlastuin train thanks to Cotchins heckin'g knee. Seriously give me a heckin'g round where i dont have to sideways trade. Whats the bet Maric gets rested next week...

Ranking has blown out to 7000 odd and will be worse after this weekend. Season of DT is over. Even with 2 trades per week, if injuries and suspensions hit youre fcked. FMDT and FTDTG's.
