Game Day 2022 SC Round 8 - Matchday Discourse

[WaynesWorld19]

Most of you recalcitrant's have a Mother ......give them a Hug.... at Qtr time breaks, of today's game's

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Errrrr.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Did we see last week coming .....players injured, players missing with CoVid Protocols .....ooops we shouldn't be saying that phrase, it's now H & S protocols ....we even want to abbreviate it, to avoid any misconception

We Coach's scrambled to field teams, high number of rookies ...hoping to get thru the week ...and then Rock The Pac scores come tumbling from everywhere ....Short playing midfield .....Stewart, wing WTF !

I got 2,501 for the week .....an ave score, last week ......an average score ???

Feeling for those Coach's without Stewart, Short, Miller ect .....however, our teams always have a solution



So, this week .....do we travel back in time to pleasantville .....bland, predictable, black & white ?
Covid ripping thru the west ....WC attempting to pull a side together, their WAFL side cancelling, oops, postponing this weeks match, due to a lack of players

Seems this season is about predicting the unpredictable .....more DPP announcements coming .....Coach's being kents, and throwing sides around, where does Macrae play in the 4th Qtr this week ..... Whitfield playing HF
So, I pose the question ....with all this uncertainty of player roles, and DPP's ....is going full premo early, the correct strategy ?




Rozee v Butters ....does Rozee have a future in SC planning ?
Does English return ...if the Bont is injured, does the Coach protect him up fwd .....and throw him in the midfield & who does that impact ?
Desperately need my old Macrae back ...can't be considered for VC at this juncture ....and English, if you could drop a stinker, would be appreciated ....would help Sammy Hayes
McComb will either verify his Rookie money making status this week, or simple be another meteorite rookie?


North at Optus Stadium ......Brayshaw, Brodie, NOD and Darcy "should" have a day out ....hope Coach's have held NOD for this game
Mighty tempting to put the (VC) on Brayshaw ......but there are so many more dependable options this week


A great match-up for SC ......expecting (hoping) another great scoring round from my 2 RICH players; Short & Vlastuin .....please don't get injured Vlasty !!!
Dusty back ....which can only be good for Short
A 2nd look at Maurice Rioli ....hard to see him being a viable Rookie TBH

De Goey .....hoping his price drops further, certainly on the radar .....but suspect the RICH gamestyle will suit him to a tee


The Question ....Is Touk Touk back to the SP of last season ? ......can Heeney keep kicking goals up fwd, to remain a good SC FWD option ......how can we afford to bring in Mills, the most expensive player ATM

McCartin back, which is great news, for any Footy lover
Absolutely Mills, a great (VC) option on his current form


At Manuka, most pundits would put this as a GWS win ......can't believe the punters have the Cats favourite ?
Jelly hitting some form, just the right time for Judd_Magic to bring him in .......Tom Green

maintaining his extraordinary form, an SP Mid next year for sure, but can he keep it up all season ?

Stewart watch ....will GWS target him for "cooling" ?

Whitfield .......meh !

Neale (VC) surely, against a patched-up WCE at The Gabba

Tough road-trip / opponent for 2nd gamer Clark ......BRIS will be ruthless, this will be ugly .....will Dixon be selected
What has happened to Jarrod Lyons ..... a shadow of his former self ....it has to be more than the "Neale Effect"


And now ....the riskiest match of the round !!

Gawn v Ryder / Marshall ......Piggy / Petracca v Steele ......One of Oliver or Petracca will get off the chain, but also expecting Steele to have a big match .....MELB are not the most defensively minded midfield ?

(C) options a bit of a gamble .....or is it ? .....Gawn is in irrepressible form


Hopefully late SUN game sees Hewitt get up
Big watch Carroll ....might have a tougher time this week .....doubtful Hinge back, sorry

Cripps (C) .....no-one in the Crows midfield, capable of stopping him !

Have a great round everyone !!!

 

[Hava Alle]

Hasn't Hough been ruled out already?

Yep unfortunately

I think they meant Barrass, well that's what I got from the replies. Find out tomorrow.

Never mind I can't read. Hough isn't playing.

 

[Jiska]

What? They said he’ll miss.

”He will play. He’s in the 22 for sure” refers to Barass.

And Clark is out? Missed that update.

Isn’t this the podcast with “Corey” and “Bonfz”? Do we really think they’ve got some exclusive out of Carlton?

What you’ve posted is more accurate - just a frustrated sad panda here

1 week miss with a Corkie turned out to be two and now some bleeding?
How much longer? IDK

I genuinely think they’ve got this from the Carlton board and added mayo. Might be true but they’re guessing.

youd be crazy to trade him out surely

 

[kananooks]

even if hes out until the byes. hes one of the best scoring defenders. hewett is going no where from my team. youll end up trading him back in like the ex cripps owners did.

If he’s out for 2 weeks, he’s out for me.

I haven’t been at this sort of high ranking for a long time

Carlton United Brewery?
Interesting, though, and sounds pretty specific, weird one to make up.
Rough for Hewett owners if true, but he’s been so good maybe would likely have held anyway, I guess.

Hewitt to who though ? .....I'm holding, hoping front runners run out of trades in the backstretch .....there's going to be a lot more H & S Protocols & we can't trade every player impacted out
