    Round 8 musings

    AFL Fantasy are doing things differently than SC and Real Dream Team: 3 trades every round 2020 averages for players on bye BUT player must have been in the playing 22 the previous week a rolling lock-out for rnd.s 9-12 - and maybe longer depending upon fixture

    Round 8 musings

    Seen on twitter: "The record for fastest player to 5 career V/@AFL career games has stood since 1897. If GEEL debut a player this weekend and he plays every game through to Round 12, he would own the record outright."

    Round 8 musings

    In case anyone missed them SC have made some changes to cover the byes in rounds 10-11: an extra 4 trades - total now 34 best 18 for any round with less than 9 games - that's currently rnds.10-11 3 trades for each of rnds.9-12 - to help prepare for and recover from the bye rounds atm I don't...

    Round 7 ponderings

    I'm with all the above - yes! Grundy scored 144 and I bet everyone who had him as "vc" will be taking it. You're only losing 17 points.

    Round 7 ponderings

    Don't ever live in Dalby unless you have NBN. Because of the coronavirus I've had to temporarily re-locate here and my broadband Telstra USB is absolutely useless between about 9.15am and 10.30pm. Between those hours the usual speed is between 6-10kB/sec and never rises above about 15kB/sec. I...

    Round 7 ponderings

    Same here. Some of the goals he kicks off his non-preferred left you'd be happy to kick off your main foot e.g.#15, #11 - 1st goal; #2 - last goal As for his field kicking - he's the player I'd want delivering the ball to my fwds inside the 50.

    Round 7 ponderings

    I'd take McPherson. He was a highly regarded junior who played in the 2016 U18s as an under-age player but then missed most of his U18 year due to injury. Adelaide still drafted him and even though he's barely been sighted since they've kept him on their list so you'd think they still value him...

    Round 7 ponderings

    I discovered this on YouTube: Gary Ablett's 29 Best Ever Moments etc A nice reminder, as if I needed it, as to just how good he has been over his career.

    Round 7 ponderings

    Agreed. There's no point having a massive bank if you're not scoring points. My strategy all year has been to maximize points even if it costs me dollars.

    Round 7 ponderings

    I'll probably go 1 up/1 down this week. I brought in McPherson last week - luck, not good strategy, as I had a donut in the backs. I'll probably leave SImpson for next week and only take Rankine. Simpson has never shown that kind of scoring before and Geelong are playing Collingwood in Perth so...

    Round 6-? Hubs

    Lots of fun, eh? With all Victorian teams playing interstate and new hubs I thought it would be good if we could post whatever we know about who is or isn't traveling - either due to injury or family. With each club taking their own approach there is little commonality. Sainters: "All 45...

    Round 5 Discussion

    I feel for you. It's hard enough to play SC here in Aus with all the in and outs and late changes. To play half a world and several time-zones away.... Not to mention cancelled games. Congrat.s on the good recovery. To be back up to top 5,000 in only a couple of rounds is outstanding. I...

    Round 5 Discussion

    Assuming you have a few dollars to go up beyond Crisp at $5085K there are quite a few backs around his price point who look to be decent options: Sicily - $523K Maynard - $517K Haynes - $514K Saad - $4985K Admittedly it's hard to tell which will continue to score well. I don't think thar...

    Same here. Looking to hold Fyfe and trade Howe. More undecided on Z Jones.

    Round 3 Discussion

    I'd rather normal length quarters but after playing 3 games of shortened qtrs is it equitable? Sure, it's the same for every team but maybe some teams are better/worse with the shorter qtrs?

    Round 3 Discussion

    @Orallus_Maximus Came back to amend my first post to Jelly->Neale but @Benj beat me to it. It's the obvious. Especially since it's "calf tightness" and he missed 5 games with a calf problem last year.

    Round 3 Discussion

    @Orallus_Maximus I'd like to help but I find it difficult to proffer specific advice on other teams. However, for general advice: are you more interested in points on field or cash generation? If points on field: side-swapping premiums isn't too bad if you are convinced that the premium you...
