Holman's just gone backwards in the last, still a good score but a shame he didn't ton up.

skate or die · 22/04/2018 at 22:34
McGovern is playing with a shoulder injury

Tyler · 23/04/2018 at 16:46
How do you know skate?

Ja191 · 22/04/2018 at 19:38
if you wanna be safe i'd go oliver/gawn (id go oliver) and risk i'd go dusty. Melbourne have said jones will go to dusty/cotch so could be potentially limited. Personally i'd roll the dice on dusty

Maybelline · 22/04/2018 at 19:43
No way Little Jones can handle Dusty. Dusty would pick him up and break him in half hJones will go Cotchin.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 21:31
Agree.
The tactic jones used was to push titch under the ruckman so he couldnt scout
the hitouts
Best of luck trying that with Dusty!
Dont argue Nath.

Crossy · 22/04/2018 at 21:12
Im in same boat. If fritch or murray dont play ill be able to loophole danger. If not got exact same 3 to choose from

Patch · 22/04/2018 at 21:14
I can't look Dustin Martin in the eye and say "yeah nah you're not scoring 130 this week". Dusty the safer option for mine. Melbourne should have learnt after the energy spent tagging Titch cost them the game last week.

OldOcker · 22/04/2018 at 21:29
I think Fritch played VFL today. He was named on ground.

David C · 23/04/2018 at 07:24
He was named but I saw reports that he didn't play.

Ja191 · 22/04/2018 at 19:39
87 before scaling

Hoppy · 22/04/2018 at 19:41
Thanks. I wonder what happened to him in th3vlast quarter?

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 21:57
Unsighted in the last quarter mate, just went missing.

Patch · 22/04/2018 at 21:15
$7.35 is a steal, I'm in

hedski · 22/04/2018 at 21:59
Wasn't sure what a "non sequieur" is, otherwise I'd say $100/hour.

Crowboy94 · 22/04/2018 at 20:57
Doedee and Finlayson could quite easily be keepers I reckon

Patch · 22/04/2018 at 21:18
You're a ripper, Trigga!
Concur on those points, mate. Doedee and Finlayson potentially keepers, but they may run out of steam in the back end. Certainly the last to be upgraded

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 21:23
Yeah just leave alone in def.
Most of us started 3 rooks on field so probably only need to do one-two upgrades in def. Welcome change.
How u travelling this round patch?
Dont think we r in any leagues together this year
Miss ya in the happy place.
Started bonner but think will upgrade next week. Looks to have flatlined around 65-70.

hedski · 22/04/2018 at 22:03
Are you in Brownlow Boys Sc Elites league Trigga? That has Patch, Lek and Kev in it.

Derek · 22/04/2018 at 22:08
Wookies…… with hair down there
Welcome

BadgerHoney7 · 23/04/2018 at 10:19
Personally think Cerra has been alright.

gator59 · 22/04/2018 at 20:52
I think you'll be watching an imaginary game on your own tomorrow,,, I think Dusty Is due to go large against the Dees on Tuesday night !!!

Patch · 22/04/2018 at 21:16
Dusty for mine mate

NoLanguage · 22/04/2018 at 21:21
Sorry Tuesday haha. Yeah might back the Dust in, Melbourne don't have anyone to stop him

Scouser · 23/04/2018 at 19:12
Dusty for sure

Patch · 22/04/2018 at 21:17
Dusty for mine, Noah. Safer option but reckon Clarry could be due for another 125. Dusty could go anywhere from 120 to 160.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 21:25
Write off as just one of those games or something more?

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 21:53
Not sure mate, I think so, got bigger fish to fry first, Bonner and some of my non playing rookies .

gator59 · 22/04/2018 at 21:55
Yeah I noticed that too Russty.. Might be time to move him on mate

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 21:59
Hey Gator, nah I'll hang on to him for a bit mate, gotta attend to some other issues, that little punk has probably cost me 3 losses against you this week though haha, well done mate.

gator59 · 22/04/2018 at 22:33
I'm not there yet mate… As you know anything is possible eg injuries

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:40
You are there I reckon, needed Bundy to get a 90 or 100.

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 00:49
Never rated Christensen but better than Bonner that's for sure.

Scouser · 23/04/2018 at 19:18
Surely weren't expecting anything different at the start Russty? I'd go back to that and assess if he's delivering what you expected then, his recent form could be creating some psychological bias to ton up every week. I reckon he's been good value in the shittiest line and musy have a fair few dollars to go yet. I don't have him (unfortunately, which should say it all), but have Bonner and Garlett who I'd be looking at before him if I did.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 20:28
Yeah Scouser, just a bit disappointed is all cause he didn't play well, I'll hang onto him for a bit yet, I have Bonner, Fritcsh and Garlett too so..more important problems haha

Yeahnahyeah · 22/04/2018 at 21:11
lower

Matt · 22/04/2018 at 21:16
Jesus Christ…. I was ranked 60th and deliberately put Murphy and Barry on the field🤮🤮😡😡 on top of that I’ve got Buddy, Greene, Garlett and McLean 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 21:41
Nice work on the ranking so far!
As usual there are some big player scores and some crap ones.
Will just depend on if a team has a large majority of the big ones.
I reckon 2200-2250 be around par

Stirlsy · 22/04/2018 at 23:51
It doesn't take a lot to move around at the top end of the ladder, either up or down….. But yr projection looks around par even with 2 games to go.
It will come down to Dusty as alot will still have the C to play and a great % we be on him.

Scouser · 23/04/2018 at 19:21
Think you'll be allright mate, quite a few premiums had crap scores and there's a lot on Jaeger and Christensen so won't be too impactful I imagine.

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:00
Don't reckon he'll get that low Luke, watch him go large next week , he might lose 30 k or so this week though.

Stirlsy · 22/04/2018 at 22:44
Agree with Russty, Titch is very consistent and hard to see him putting 2 or 3 bad ones together.

Daniel Z · 24/04/2018 at 04:07
He's already put two bad ones (by his standard) together. He'll drop to around 650k this week and down to 620k next week (assuming he scores around 125-130), which means you could save 30k off his starting price (but you also would have missed out on around 750 points – more if he was your captain in rounds 1-3).

1der · 24/04/2018 at 16:07
Mitchell should drop in price to around the $642,000 mark with a break even of 212. Should lose significant cash the following week only even though the Hawks play the Saints in Tassie.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 22:51
A little from column A a little from column B.
Knew didnt have a loop going in.
Never know might have a late out
Otherwise expect dusty to shine on the big stage Tuesday night just like he did in the big dance last year.

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:56
I think he'll be fine mate, He'll probably rise to the challenge if they go the hard tag on him and leave em in his dust.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 10:54
Leave em in his dust(y)

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 20:36
Giddy up
Fyfe is life is back on!

DacZawson · 23/04/2018 at 21:30
Gotta love Fritsch being a late out despite it stunting his cash growth.
The Fyfe VC has worked wonders!!

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:41
Trade Zorko the crapnificent…before he hits 380 grand.

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 01:03
He'll go down about 50K this week. I suppose it's now or hold him till he hopefully comes good. Personally I'd hold but I have other problems to deal with.

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:43
Good choice in the end Stirlsy, who's your last 6 to play?

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 22:58
You should go ok I reckon Stirlsy, I've tipped Tigers but you never know, Dees need to show more than they did last week so could rise to the occasion.

KSinny · 22/04/2018 at 22:59
Agreed

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 22/04/2018 at 23:01
Its rare these days but remember that game where the coaches just let danger and fyfe go head to head?
Was one for the ages. Everyone applauded as some of the best footy u will ever see.
The winner?
AFL fans everywhere.

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 23:06
Yeah I remember that game Trig, was one of the best games i've seen, just for that matchup.

Stirlsy · 22/04/2018 at 23:02
Going back a bit here but in the mid 80s I was asked to coach a girls team for a one off game, this chick on the other team was killing us she had kicked 3 and was everywhere at HT id had a gutfull of her and told one of my players to follow the bitch ( I can call her that because I know her) so my player did just that 1 pace behind her for rest of day we didn't win but we stopped her and got close.
Think I invented tagging but ill never take credit for it.

Russty_ · 22/04/2018 at 23:10
Haha good story Stirlsy so you're the one?…lol, my Sister played Footy in the 80's and kicked 5 Goals in a game once, running the full length of the field for a few of them …maybe it was her?…hahah

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 01:06
Agree in some ways, I think the biggest problem is when you see multiple free kicks against the tagger not be credited to the tagged.

NEIL DemonsDelight · 23/04/2018 at 07:53
Not often I disagree with you Russty but players like LIBBA made it an art playing right on the edge .ANNOYING PESTS –YES but please RUSSTY they are an integral part of the game. cheers mate

SC_Donkey · 23/04/2018 at 09:38
A tagger like Scooter and Jacobs is a gift that they embraced, it's what they are good at week in week out. To be a good tagger the likes of them two, needs skills, and obedience. Taggers may not be good for us SC but makes a hell lot of difference in footy, sometimes it can win games and can minimize the damage against your team.

prizza · 23/04/2018 at 11:44
Put supercoach scoring aside and the mere fact is that as a backman if your forward didnt get a kick you had played your role for your team,, only difference i can see is that the role is changed to an onballer, been happeneing for a century only now there is maybe one or two that are elite.
Ps i still see your point though.

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 14:25
There's a fair amount of media driven hysteria over taggers and tagging. At the moment anyone who plays on Titch is said to be Tagging, but it really all depends on how they go about it. The more effective one can win their own ball and hurt the supposed tag player going the other way and force them to then defend. If a team has everyone run both ways and apply defensive pressure on opponents they usually win.
Curious to know how you would exactly define tagging to make it against the rules. Would you outlaw defensive pressure. Should the rules be umpired differently for some designated players creating certain protected species who can't be defended

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 15:08
Yeah fair point Tibor, I don't have a plan of how Tagging would be outlawed, cause it's always existed and probably always will, I guess in defining tagging, it could be a player who excessively focuses on hassling one player, and trying to stop what they do,.rather than on the Ball, especially when they're playing on the ball.
Hey it's all fair in love and footy, I just said I wish they'd outlaw it cause I reckon it reduces spectator enjoyment.

CaptainObvious · 23/04/2018 at 15:45
What's the issue here? If a defender shuts down a gun forward totally he's not criticised by anybody except opposition supporters and when gun fwd kicks 7 and his opponent has bugga the fwd doesn't get criticized for giving the defender a bad day.
But gee whiz if a major midfielder gets an opponent and isn't as effective everybody says it's bad for the game.
It's all part of the contest. If a mid can't deal with a tagger put the mid in a pocket or the goalsquare and give sombody else a go. Clarkson leaving Mitchell onball with a highly cpmpetitive opponent was arrogant coaching and it cost the Hawks the game.
When they ban taggers they should also ban shepparding, punching the ball in a marking contest and smothering kicks.

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 20:45
Agree, good post. The only thing that I dislike about tagging is when I feel the umpires are not penalizing the tagger for holding the man, which in my opinion happens often.

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 01:07
Shet happens 😜

Daniel Z · 24/04/2018 at 04:11
Do you remember when Greene wasn't a flog?
Sewerage Farm remembers.

Rick Grimes · 23/04/2018 at 06:17
That looks well above to me. 2300+ on cards be top 10% I reckon. Been some spud scores.

Rick Grimes · 23/04/2018 at 06:16
I ditched Zorko this round for Spuddy Franklin. Was spewing with his turd of a score. Then Zorko laid a filthy cable of his own. This game is great.

StevoRivo · 23/04/2018 at 07:30
Fritsch in the extended squad and did not play for Casey. Wait for final selections today. Higgins, Lloyd & Broad on Tigers extended bench also.

seen_burns · 23/04/2018 at 07:34
He didn't play for Casey, so he should make the team, but we'll see later today.

David C · 23/04/2018 at 07:47
Nobody knows until tonight.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 10:49
As there is a short break between the games this week and next weekend then the teams this week held some players over that didnt play in the reserves that will replace players next weekend.
Im hoping Frisch is one of those players. Basically a sub for the weekend.
Wishful thinking maybe?
Higgins would probably also be a sub due to the short turnaround between games.

meph · 23/04/2018 at 14:13
Im a kangas fan and dont think we are top 8. This next stretch for us is fairly bad and there is a chance we lose our next 4. Port, sydney away, richmond, gws. Then its freo away which isnt a gimme.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 15:30
Maybe you're used to poor performances. What I saw in the first half y'day was premiership winning footy. I think the Roos will beat Port but then the next three will test.

Daniel Z · 24/04/2018 at 04:13
I reckon they can come out of those four games with at least one win and if they can take two or more, then I'd definitely give them odds-on to make the 8.

Tyruddanaut · 23/04/2018 at 07:59
The ‘magic number’ has just decreased a lot this round so I’d wait

David C · 23/04/2018 at 10:43
Gawn is the safe pick. He should not have a problem with Nank. Dusty, high risk high reward. I would have gone Gawn but am taking Fyfes score.

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 09:59
Danger every day of the week

Andrew · 23/04/2018 at 10:05
Take it every day of the week mate.

SC_Donkey · 23/04/2018 at 10:08
If it was the last game of the season and you're fighting for that $50K yeah I'd take the punt on Dusty. But in this case your not, so take the 135 points and run.

David C · 23/04/2018 at 10:44
Sidey.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 15:33
The bum

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 10:59
No rage trade Monday.
It is now rage trade Thursday
Go again on Friday
Strange old week

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 11:07
Sure is a strange week. Won't be a lot of time to make decisions before round 6 starts

Keenbutclueless · 23/04/2018 at 11:13
With you there. Thinking JOM and Bundy for Danger and Guelfi. But, given I traded out Doedee this week for Hurley, I wouldn’t be putting too much faith in my advice.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 11:23
Bit too keen keen

Keenbutclueless · 23/04/2018 at 11:31
Yeah. Ranked 15k going into the round, with a cookie cutter side. I saw my only chance to get in range was to break a few rules, take a few chances and bet against a few blokes. Always more likely to fail than succeed, but every year I seem to get off to bad start, follow conventional wisdom all year, and improve to a 5-10k ranking by year end. Just trying something different

NEIL DemonsDelight · 23/04/2018 at 11:51
Good thoughts Keen Sometimes it does come off though I did the same with Fisher but I thought he was a good player last year/.I am seriously thinking of LIDS. Only 4 games last year for 2 good scores late. Good scoring now as well. Against AGE J.S Former recent elite -playing well – coaches like him. and appears injury free

NEIL DemonsDelight · 23/04/2018 at 11:55
PIES Have you got the two flogs as well. I thought JOM SAVAGE and BUNDY WERE OK CHOICES but risky It comes off sometimes

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 12:19
Last week they were all good Neil. But a week is a long time in football

Finnius · 23/04/2018 at 12:24
I'd go dusty.

Ricardo · 23/04/2018 at 13:00
Take the 117. Runs on the board.

SHORTY · 23/04/2018 at 13:50
KEEP THE 117

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 14:06
Like the Grundy pick. He is on fire and Essendon have nobody who can get anywhere near him. Melbourne have a few options they can try on Dusty, they have a midfield that can get it first and a Ruck who should give them first use.

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 14:33
i think swans have already played!

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 15:27
Big crowd big Dusty score

Hayden · 23/04/2018 at 12:30
I almost traded Hibberd to Savage last week. Reversed the trade Friday morning and downgraded to Sicily. Boy I'm thanking my lucky stars now

TheGreatBozza · 23/04/2018 at 12:33
Good call. I think I knew heading in to the ceiling Savage could have some stinkers, I just didn't think his floor was that low

Hayden · 23/04/2018 at 12:52
If he bounces back with some decent scores I'll probably pick him up later. Good result to keep his price from skyrocketing

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 14:09
Cripps was outstanding. Even as a non-owner I had to stand and clap him off the field.
I kept the clapping going for my man Lycett. Smashed a Kruzerless Carlton.
I don’t want to talk about Picke…… I mean Garlett.

Hayden · 23/04/2018 at 12:53
Gray looks the goods this year, and Bonner is nearly capped out. I'm holding Bonner a few more weeks myself, and downgrading Barry to Mirra (via DPP).

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 14:04
Gray is getting expensive. He has round 10 bye, can’t you wait until after his bye. Look for some value.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 15:31
Agree ☝

Ja191 · 23/04/2018 at 16:50
just missed a game for striking lindsey flogas haha

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 14:10
What is Bonners price going to be? Hard to give an opinion without knowing who you have or haven't got. Which premo fwd are you putting your trust in

Awtfulme · 23/04/2018 at 18:41
Mirra will get dropped

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 13:54
Stunning pick Bock. Lids looked awesome on the weekend. I'd love to have him but I don't think I can

Holty01 · 23/04/2018 at 16:41
Yeah good value but i just cant bring myself to selecting him as im waiting for him to snap in half

SC_Donkey · 23/04/2018 at 14:38
All of the above, Titch for letting Jacobs get better of him, Jacobs for tagging Titch and ruined your SC. Lastly(actually this should have been firstly and last) is YOU, for putting the C on Titch. Must've known Titch was gonna have a hard time against Jacobs.

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 14:48
I'd like you to burn Titch's house down & frame Jacobs as the arsonist. You'd be doing us all a favour. Can you get the job done by Friday please. I'm worried about Robbie Gray

Holty01 · 23/04/2018 at 16:44
I think he will go to Wines to be honest. Grey very hard to tag with him rotating between mids and forward. At least Wines will just play in the guts.

Ricardo · 23/04/2018 at 15:14
Your own house for picking Titch as captain when Jacobs was likely to target him.

Songo12 · 23/04/2018 at 19:46
You knew the best tagger since Lingy in Jacobs was going to Titch so burn your own. Hopefully you are insured.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 15:25
The only rookie defenders worth holding are the obvious ones.. Dude, Murray, Fin and maybe Naughton. Bonner is capable but maybe next year a gun. He probably won't make much more cash.

Ahmad rubas · 23/04/2018 at 15:59
Yeah seems to be stalling in cash generation and it's hurting me when I play him and bench either doedee or murray. Ideally he doesn't drop in cash until round 10 when I can I trade Holman and bonner who both have a bye

Pranav Santhosh · 23/04/2018 at 15:03
possibly higgins in?

BockChoy · 23/04/2018 at 15:05
Vlastuin also out – this is a spew as I'll now need to wear Richard's 44.

David C · 23/04/2018 at 16:44
Gawn I reckon. Someone lie Lambert might go to Oliver.

David C · 23/04/2018 at 16:45
like

Josh · 23/04/2018 at 19:50
Maybe dusty would score better if he wasn’t playing against his own team 🙂

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 16:01
Somewhere between 95 – 105 Ken, it depends if the opposition starts giving him attention. If that does happen i imagine his average will drop quite a bit, he's very hot headed.

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 16:31
He is averaging 100 after 4 games. Not sure that is a big enough sample size, but that’s pretty good. If you started him, you would be happy.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 16:36
Unless he gets suspended next week for being a Flog..again.

Lazza · 23/04/2018 at 19:25
At this stage he is on target to average 1 game out of 3 suspended.
Obviously has the intelligence of a Carlisle..

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 21:43
No Lazza he does not have anywhere near that much intelligence

Daniel Z · 24/04/2018 at 04:17
I'd back him in to average 95 or thereabouts, for a season total of 1,520 (having been suspended for six games off four separate incidents).

Moustachio · 24/04/2018 at 07:40
Will average 105 and play 3 more ganes before beig suspended again and dropped to the VFL.

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 16:25
he Is a frustration. Was on 53 at HT and didn’t even get to 70. Was tagging someone in the midfield after quarter time, not doing a very good job either.
He has the ability to have another 100+ especially if he has the loose man in defence job. Problem is it changes each week between Rampe, McVeigh, Mills and Lloyd.
Not sure they know either.
I don’t think he will be a keeper and once the top 8 defenders are clearer I’ll prob trade him.
Wouldn’t mind another good score just to make a bit of cash.

JohnDJ59 · 23/04/2018 at 18:55
Hi Derek, I was happy to keep him, thought he could end up my D8 come finals time, but his role at the Swans seems to change not only from game to game but even during the game itself.

Derek · 23/04/2018 at 23:31
He is along way from being my biggest problem. I’ll be keeping him and if there is a right time move him I will. Even if he slips to D6, he’ll be ok.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:06
Hi John if you take out the crappy 40 he had in round 2, he's averaging 86.75 if that helps, his 68 this week wasn't ideal but his 3 best scores, 90, 105 and 84 are encouraging, but as Derek said, if his role is constantly changing it's not ideal for a keeper backman.

JohnDJ59 · 23/04/2018 at 19:01
Hi Russty, I don't think I would be looking to move him on if I didn't need to get Danger in this week like I planned. Was hoping to be able to use two rookie up&down trades, but not sure I want to trade out a rookie that is still making good money.

Russty_ · 24/04/2018 at 00:43
Apparently, The Cats are going to appeal John so that could mean Selwood misses 2 if the appeal fails, which means Danger might be more into the midfield…so keep an eye on that, cause you might need to get him in this week no matter what.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 18:20
I'm moving him on assp, Hurley looks good.

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 16:29
That's good if he's out for one and maybe Scott may realise he may have to start Danger in the guts … WHERE HE SHOULD BE MR. SCOTT!!!!!

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 16:33
Good news!, Danger gets a $2000 fine too, and Sicily charged with serious misconduct for standing on Atley's leg..bloody flog.

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 16:38
Ahhh the joys of Super Coach.. You just gotta love it Russty

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 16:40
Haha for sure mate, Christian's been busy this week, hope Siciflog gets off with a fine, that guy just can't stop doing dumb things.

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 16:42
I'll take the blame Russty …. Because I brought him in this week

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 16:46
Have the new nickname for Sicily ….. Forrest Gump ,, Stupid is as Stupid does

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 16:52
He can't seem to stop kicking blokes when they're down, Clarko should let the whole team give him a free gut punch if he gets suspended again.

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 16:54
Yeah and let the punches slide up a bit too… Upper cuts

neil demons delight · 23/04/2018 at 19:00
I would rather have BILLINGS At least he doesn't do stupid things

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 19:08
True Neil but is still a spud

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 16:47
Hey Jug, Goldy told the Media afterwards, he barely even felt anything, probably just touched his hair, said it felt like a Fly..lol
And it ain't a panel anymore, just one guy MRO Match Review Officer.

Hoppy · 23/04/2018 at 18:16
Point chaser

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:28
Yep, that's me, always chasing points.

KSinny · 23/04/2018 at 18:28
who is Lids

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:34
Deledio mate.

KSinny · 23/04/2018 at 18:51
cheers

Herbie · 23/04/2018 at 18:40
A mate in on of your leagues said that you hadn’t won a game yet so you obviously are a desperate SCer!!!!!
Perhaps concentrate on picking good players instead of doling out advice all day to everyone.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:49
The question was actually a joke pal, I wouldn't do that cause I chose Sicily for a reason, flog or not.
Big freakin deal if I'm not doing well in one League, last year I won 6 out of Ten I was in and i'm in 10 again this year, and they're all full of good coaches so whatever mate.
Why don't you dole out some advice if you're so sick of mine?

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 18:57
Good stuff Russty.. Make a joke and the get into you for no reason.. Oh well it's a long season.. You'll be right mate

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 19:00
Yeah typical, one first name, no profile posters Gator that are probably all the same sad guy..water off a Duck's back mate, I couldn't care less if I come last in all my Leagues this year, it's the fun during the season that matters to me, the results are always a let down anyway, regardless of winning or losing lol

gator59 · 23/04/2018 at 19:11
Same here mate.. I just try to improve on prior years and I don't care on what other peoples views from the trollers are on comments that I post.. I'll back you in mate …BTW i love the Plugger avatar

Russty_ · 24/04/2018 at 00:30
Cheers Gat, you're a good mate, if that guy's "mate" clicks on the overall points button, I'm sure I'll be up near the top, anyways, it's a long season and it only takes a few wins in a row to move on up..shit who cares anyway, it's the journey not the destination that's the most fun 🙂

Lazza · 23/04/2018 at 19:34
Hey Russty, I'm about to post my worse score in 4 years … courtesy of Franklin, Greene, Zorko and Mitchell. The best advice comes from experience, experience comes from learning by your (our) mistakes … smart ar5es have little to offer … I went with a modified strategy this year, which in hindsight probably means I'll wont achieve my previous sub 1000 ranking this year … but hey, I'm still happy to offer advice,,, and as with you, people can take it or leave it … I appreciate yours and many others on this site who offer their point of view, experience, learnings and humour .. keep it up..

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 20:23
Thanks Lazza, you're a gent mate, just gotta keep at it..Buddy Greene and Mitch are all good picks, no way you could know Zorko was gonna be duddy this year.

SC_Sixty6 · 24/04/2018 at 23:16
Hows your overall going Herbie? Probably about as good as your name…… you are irrelevant in SC and too on this forum.

Defying_Madness · 23/04/2018 at 17:05
Wait is he missing?

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:08
Not yet DM, will know tomorrow after he faces Christian for his latest dumb act.

Defying_Madness · 23/04/2018 at 17:10
Yikes I didn't notice that hit so this came as a shock

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:12
He stood on Atley's leg while he was lying on the ground…flog act. Similar to the kneeing in the head of Selwood a few weeks ago while he was prone.

Maurse · 23/04/2018 at 18:16
He is an idiot and so are the SCers who picked him.

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 20:45
3 tons in 4 games not good for you? Yes his attitude was a risk that probably hasnt paid off, but we picked him because of his scoring and he has duly delivered

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 22:37
Amen Maurse

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 18:18
It's tragic how our game has been hijacked.

Rabbit · 23/04/2018 at 18:14
Don’t be an idiot. He is out for only one week.

neil demons delight · 23/04/2018 at 19:01
Early Shake n Fake

Shake_n_Bake_ · 23/04/2018 at 19:33
Was initially in my side to be a sideways trade to Danger when l 1st started him. This was my plan from the get go. Who knows still might hold him always thought Danger would drop in price. Still think Selwood will challenge.

Defying_Madness · 23/04/2018 at 17:17
He only missed two games off suspension last year I think. Looks like his temper has gotten worse which sucks

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:20
Hey Finn, didn't find any footage, just this from the article about all the fines/suspensions/ incidents
Tuesday night shapes as a busy one for the Tribunal after Christian also referred Hawks defender James Sicily there on a charge of serious misconduct against North Melbourne's Shaun Atley.
The charge against Sicily arose from an incident during the second quarter of Sunday's game at Etihad Stadium when he stood on Atley's leg while the Roo was lying on the ground.

Finnius · 23/04/2018 at 17:24
hmm interesting. WIthout damning evidence I think (hope) he will get off…

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:27
Me too bud but he has a history…recently..lol, such a flog, wish I didn't have him in weeks like this.

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 17:37
Footage on twitter.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:43
Footage was on the aft tonight. Will get a couple of weeks for a stupid act.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:45
What's aft tonight?

Shake_n_Bake_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:07
On 5pm Foxtel afl channel Russty.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:08
Cheers Shake thanks.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:25
You're right about Selwood BB, I just watched the footage and he actually missed him and punched the ground, the $1000 fine for trying to trip Wingard was a separate issue, but copping a week for that is Bullshit.
Mitchell's incident was a non issue by the way, he barely touched his head, Goldy said it himself.

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 17:36
Mitchell is lucky Goldy downplays everything. Downplayed the time Lewis sniped him in the head too.
Am I right in saying that if a player challenges a decision, they no longer get an extra week if they fail?

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:54
Not sure BB, but if he challenges, I think he'll win, he didn't even punch him!

Finnius · 23/04/2018 at 17:55
yup just a fine BB

Shake_n_Bake_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:44
Im sure he challenges that.

Horsehead · 23/04/2018 at 18:13
Hawk players are bad news for SC.

BockChoy · 24/04/2018 at 09:15
Agree on Graham too – if anything, Mitchell's was more intentional than Grahams who at least could argue he was making a play on someone with the ball.

theRealPod · 23/04/2018 at 18:11
I'd go Dusty Mike

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:33
6.25 on AFL.com.au

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 17:39
Do you have a link to the footage BB? i tried googling it i cant find it

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 17:43
Nevermind i just found it, didn't look like he put too much weight on it, surely he escapes with a fine for that one?

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 22:28
he's got one foot on Atley and the other foot is in the air as he steps through. If all his weight is not on his one grounded foot where the bloody hell is it? For it to be anywhere other than on Atleys leg you'd have to believe in the physics theories of Wyllie Coyote

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:43
Is there a link or something?…I'm not on Twitter.

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 17:50
No link. You on Facebook Russty?
Triple M Footy has vision.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 17:52
Nah mate…FK facebook, I just saw it actually, cheers, didn't appear to be much in it really, and Atley wasn't hurt, I think it will just be a flog fine.

Finnius · 23/04/2018 at 17:56
Intentional, low impact to the body. Just checked the guidelines for the MRP – that should just be a fine.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:04
If Michael Christian is the MRP, then why didn't he see that Selwood didn't even punch Thomas?…and then gave him a week off?..seriously doubting the choice to have one guy as the MRP this year..doesn't seem right.
One game with one crucial player missing, can mean the difference between the team making the finals or not that year.
I reckon there should never be only one person deciding.

neil demons delight · 23/04/2018 at 18:27
let alone no Charlie Russty

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 18:09
His bad record will push it to a week

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:11
But it was a chesty jumper-punch Tommy, and he didn't even make contact with him.

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 18:26
Im talking about sicily mate

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 18:33
Oh sorry Tommy, thought you were responding to my Selwood comment.

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 18:16
Records were wiped this year.

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 18:26
Im talking about sicily, who will have his bad record from the kneeing a few weeks ago

Lazza · 23/04/2018 at 19:21
No grading applied – Sicily is off to the tribunal !!!

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 18:18
Just saw it. Just a flog act but who knows what will result

Kickamoocow · 23/04/2018 at 18:11
Serial offender = 2 weeks and I, like an idiot, picked him. Never again. Actually Hawk players are bad news. Maybe it is due to their bad tempered coach who said he would help Sicily. Like petrol to fire!!!!!

Defying_Madness · 23/04/2018 at 18:27
Wouldnt call him a serial offender mate

Kickamoocow · 23/04/2018 at 18:36
What? Two reports already this year and reported last year!!!!! I

joe · 23/04/2018 at 18:58
just a flog

neil demons delight · 23/04/2018 at 18:30
He is just a big FLOG what a tool probably a week

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 20:40
Just got him in. Freakin flogtastic.

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 20:30
VC fyfe is life.
Thankks dees
Welcome capt Fritsch.

Shake_n_Bake_ · 23/04/2018 at 19:37
The bad is l take Garletts 21 but do take the double pts as fyfe vc.

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 20:11
Like an unexpected reach around Shake. That's a happy ending

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 19:07
Hopefully he kicks a couple more snags!

KSinny · 23/04/2018 at 18:52
take danger

Scouser · 23/04/2018 at 21:09
Take the 270 points and enjoy whatever Dusty adds to the supercoach banquet table tomorrow (hasn't tonned up in last 3 against Dees either)

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 19:23
Could trade to Higgins or Guelfi ?

hedski · 23/04/2018 at 20:17
Na BB, traded Kreuz and Kelly to DogDog and Dusty already.

Russty_ · 23/04/2018 at 20:24
Jeez you're having a ripper of a year Hed…it'll get better mate.

hedski · 23/04/2018 at 20:56
Yeah I'm flying Russty!
Ha ha, I can handle a 21 this week, should still win a few leagues.👍

KSinny · 23/04/2018 at 19:53
Yeh I'd say trade him if you don't want to lose your games

BrownlowBoy · 23/04/2018 at 20:00
ZGL is locked. You'd have to trade Fritsch

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 20:02
Oh yes of course, this whole situation has thrown me for a loop. Do you think Guelfi has better job security than higgins?

INPieman · 23/04/2018 at 20:13
No rookies have JS. That's why they are rookies

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 20:38
Yes but some have comparatively better JS, which is why i asked if Guelfi has "better" job security. I've gone for Guelfi as of now, as i feel it'll be harder for Higgins to keep a spot in a premiership winning side.

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 20:41
Higgins kicked 2 goals and still got dropped. I would say that could easily end up a wasted trade. Not ideal but Guelfi is probably the "safer" bet

Beezneez · 23/04/2018 at 20:14
I'm glad Fritsch is out cos I can now trade him to Guelfi or Higgins with no regrets. This gives me enough cash to go a rookie to Gray next round. Normally I wouldn't pick a rookie till they are on the bubble but I'm sitting on 1839 with 6 to play and don't want to take Garlett's score. I had originally planned to trade Billings to Gray on Saturday but chickened out deciding to give Billings one more chance. That decision has cost me another 51 points. Finally, I got all my onfield players scoring to their true potential. Sicily is a worry though – if he was involved in a battle of wits he'd always only be half prepared.

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 20:43
Still reckon thats a bit of a wasted trade mate. 1839 with 6 left is a huge score so dont think it will affect you too much taking Garletts 21, with the trade saved and the opportunity to get another look at the rookies

hedski · 23/04/2018 at 20:19
ZGL should be back next week on the bubble, just seen its too late to trade him but he's a hold, should have good JS.

hedski · 23/04/2018 at 20:58
Na go Dusty and Tracca Muzza.

joe · 23/04/2018 at 21:12
4 sure

Murray · 23/04/2018 at 21:32
Thanks hedski
I thinking it will go something like this:
Option 1:Fyfe's 151& dusty 134 x2 ( this is his current season ave) & petracca approx 80 = 499. Vs
Option 2: Fyfe 151×2 dusty 134 and Garlett 21 = 457.
If I went option 1 and assuming petracca gets about 80 , dusty would have to get only 113 if I went with option 1. Very very achievable, dusty should get easily. So based on these assumptions, option 1 is best for my score

AuroraBorealis?! · 23/04/2018 at 21:11
Fingers crossed its just a fine

TRIGGA_HAPPY · 23/04/2018 at 21:13
Already been suspended once this year,
flog meter is off the charts last 12 months.
Has a history.
Deliberate act. Could have just stepped over.
2-3 weeks.
Thomas 4.

Finnius · 23/04/2018 at 21:17
fine.

KSinny · 23/04/2018 at 21:26
hopefully just a fine

TommyC99 · 23/04/2018 at 21:29
1 week

Steeeve · 23/04/2018 at 21:38
I think a week. Stings more than a fine. They won't want people thinking they can get away with that.

TheBenchmark25 · 23/04/2018 at 22:28
When does it go to the tribunal?

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 22:32
On a positive note Mirra probably gets his third game now. $$$$$$$

Steeeve · 24/04/2018 at 10:58
If his ribs are intact…

Derek · 24/04/2018 at 12:13
how did he not get hurt. did that north player get a fine at least?

Multi_ · 24/04/2018 at 08:02
1 week

Derek · 24/04/2018 at 12:15
i was thinking just a fine, because the North player was not injured. But there might be some carry over from the first suspension. Might get a week, but doesn't deserve a week.
Burton should have got a week

Doc · 24/04/2018 at 16:00
Burton should've got 3, 2 with an early guilty plea.

Whatyasmokin · 23/04/2018 at 22:31
Yeah I'd be surprised if he gets away with one. I'm not sure how the club keeps letting him get away with being a flog. Can't believe I locked him in last week thinking 'surely that's it for the year, surely he's been sat down like a little schoolboy and told no more!'

Tibor · 23/04/2018 at 22:42
There is something wrong with him Smokin he simply can't help himself. It's a shame because as a player he is gifted. A million dollar talent being controlled by a ten cent head

Goat · 24/04/2018 at 09:57
As a hawks member and a Sicily owner there is no defence to this stupidity. I think he will get at least 2 weeks. It is a really bad look for the game. The only redeeming feature is that the level of force was minor and Atley (thankfully) was uninjured.
I will say that he is not the only player with misdirected anger issues. I see "incidents" in every game I go to which still get passed as "football acts" and which are not related to the game at all.

Derek · 24/04/2018 at 12:11
i think he will be ok. Don't think the north player was injured. so will get a $1000 fine

Tyruddanaut · 24/04/2018 at 17:11
2000 because of intention

SC_Sixty6 · 24/04/2018 at 23:13
Effectively that makes no sense because you field someone in his place. Sure if you got donuts it may be a that AVG but it isn't.

Tyruddanaut · 24/04/2018 at 17:10
No. He isnt

SC_Sixty6 · 24/04/2018 at 23:12
Mate I told people to trade Lobb 2 weeks ago. Now look where you are at. Yes trades are gold later in the season but if you need to get your team right just trade.
