Vent Thread (Part 3)

[RBW_007]

An average of 60 from 3 points on my field versus an average of 103 from 3 on my bench

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Lame vents if you're complaining about GWS rookies being on your bench.

Only real vent so far is Kennedy. But if you have him, why is he on your bench?

And lol at those trading McDonald out if he's suspended.

 

[Ziebellion]

Im more than happy with 98 from JMAC and 2 weeks. It was either him or Shiel.

Why would Kennedy be on your field? hes my worst rookie in my team and was playing the toughest team to score against in dream team in Sydney. Same goes for Bugg. Bugg didnt get a gig in my backline.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Lol, soz. In all the furor I thought it was Josh Kennedy for Sydney, not the GWS Kennedy. My bad. As you all were.

 

[Cameron_K]

Decided to pay the extra and get Coniglio instead of McDonald...... Still think in the long run it won't be a bad decision.

My three best scoring players tonight were on my bench as well....

 

[Daitro]

Why would Kennedy be on your field?

it was either him or D.Smith on the field for me. Kennedy was named in the backline so he got the gig.

 

[Unrivaled Mach]

So much fail on my part. Parker subbed out after being cleaned up by McDonald who I traded out for Shiel, luckily he was on the bench.

 

[Robot Chimp]

I had Thompson from Adelaide as captain. Changed to Goodes 10 minutes before lockdown.

 

[Freo2012]

it was either him or D.Smith on the field for me. Kennedy was named in the backline so he got the gig.

now that just makes too much logical sense - I had Devon S on the field and Kennedy as bench emergency

Now i'm hoping one of A Hall, Skinner or Dickson shape up as missing R1 and playing consistently each week after - a bit of further reading and hope (luck?) this week as to which of them I pick - then it maybe worthwhile getting Kennedy's score to count.

Its certainly a great start for rookie scores R1.

 

[CrozaN]

Yeah i fielded Dickson ahead of Kennedy , lets just hope he pulls a massive game if he is named, which he should.

 

[Suma Magic]

Stupid enough to have a Goodes as captain.

Was at the game watching him: he was lazy as hell. Only ever looking for the easy kick.

Oh summer dreams...

 

[James]

Bugg & Kennedy both on my bench.....

Though probably everyone else is in the same boat...

Still I hate seeing 2 tonnes on my bench.

Same here...I might use the emergency loophole to get both there scores though

 

[StringyDog]

You might be venting more as I reckon Dickson is 80-90% chance of being week1 sub.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol at people venting at Shiel.

I'm thrilled that he had a crap game. All the casual DT'ers who only picked him because Dr. Dream Team told them to will trade him out because they have the attention span of a gnat, and when he gets back to full fitness and is scoring well there's gonna be less people on the bandwagon.

 

[Hank93]

Thinking about using the Emergency loophole in my forwards to get Kennedy's score. Main two vents were Kennedy on the bench and Coniglio's score.

I got McDonald and Bugg on the field though!

 

[chelsea4thewin]

Bugg, Kennedy on my bench and a last minute trade out of McDonald for Shiel didn't play out too well either

Oh well focusing on the head to head

Your not the only one........Was watching on tv and when he tried a smart a#se handball l knew then that l was stuffed.......

Couldn't agree more. I was actually disappointed that he was named round 1. Would have preferred him to come in round 2 so that some people jump off him. He is one very solid boy though!

Anyways, not happy with Bugg on the bench with no emergency on him. Hoping my starting back line rookies and my bench rookie don't get subbed.

 

[bombermick]

Annoyed at my admittedly risk gamble on giving Mummy the big C. He should have been good for 120, but he and Goodes didn't want it enough.

Also a tad annoyed at putting McDonald on the bench, albeit as an emergency.

 

[CrozaN]

I think Skinner will wear the Vest.

 

[liam_13]

Just venting at myself.

Looked at Rohan and Malceski all summer..never game enough to have them in my side for a comfortable length of time. Nope...

I think they will both average 80ish which is a big gain, think they will be inconsistent, but looking at an overall ranking..

 

[chelsea4thewin]

don't get too upset, its round 1 and you don't know how the rest of your side is going to go

these GWS rookies will lack consistency, don't go rushing in McDonald either, Shiel looked ok when he was on, be a lot better with the week off now to get his fitness up to last the full game

 

[Lemma]

Yeh I'm not too worried about Shiel at all

 

[Ball Hog]

Lol at people venting at Shiel.

I'm thrilled that he had a crap game. All the casual DT'ers who only picked him because Dr. Dream Team told them to will trade him out because they have the attention span of a gnat, and when he gets back to full fitness and is scoring well there's gonna be less people on the bandwagon.

Exactly. He was rushed into the side for round 1 and I'm sure Sheedy always intended for him to be subbed off. Whats more is if people actually watched the game they would see that he did some good work inside.

The score only lasts 1 week in his rotation and yeah it hurts now for people with him on the ground but to question his credibility as a pick after half a game (FWIW 36 in a half is not a bad score for a rookie) is ludicrous. See how he goes in round 2 but I personally expect many people to be eating their words.

 

[Ball Hog]

Decided to pay the extra and get Coniglio instead of McDonald...... Still think in the long run it won't be a bad decision.

I did this too. I didn't have Coniglio in my team all pre season until yesterday which is a bit frustrating in the short term but hopefully it doesn't turn out too bad.

On the McDonald situation I really hope he doesn't get suspended even though that is worse for me from a DT point of view. I think its 50-50 at the moment. The MRP makes some strange decisions so I wouldn't be surprised if he got 2 weeks but really I think he should get off with just a reprimand. Parker got up pretty quickly after the knock so that can only help McDonald's case.
