Good start for most id guess but unlucky if you went with Kreuzer who was killing it til he got injured.

Who’s locking in Dusty’s 139 as captain. I’m loopholing him as we speak. Anything over 130 and I’ll take it. What’s your ‘captain score’ that you’ll take?

Garlett looked good early (37 points quarter time), but ended with 61. I’m kind of glad because I chose not to go with him.

What does everyone think of Keefe from GWS as a rookie option?

You would be crazy to not lock Dusty in as skipper.

I'm now in a big pickle and don't know what to do with Brodie. Do I go one less premo in DEF and then upgrade Brodie to Coniglio? Or do I swap Brodie for say Clark and back him in on field?

Go with what you think is the better team structure.

Brayshaw (decent looking scoring) & LDU (good js) are possible options as well.

Re: captain picks. I am thinking as a rule I would take anything over 130. Dusty locked and loaded!

Chose Garlett at the last minute! I was worried because I didn’t put him on the field! Happy with 60 for a bench.

Which rookies are you guys putting on the midfield? I have Brayshaw but who else? I can’t decide! Kelly?

I see all the all the Richmond small forwards scored tons last night and yet they did not get high possessions, just lots of pressure acts.
Question: Does anyone know if Supercoach scoring changed from last year and if so do they give more points for a pressure acts this year?

86K Need some help structuring my side. Do I move Sicily to another proven Backman. Danger? Goldy, Which rookie to go with in that last mid spot. Thoughts?

Def: Laird, Hibberd, Sicily (Finlayson)
Doedee, Naughton, Murray (Keefe)

Mid: Danger, Dusty, (T Kelly)
Titch, Kelly, Fyfe, (D Barry)
Brayshaw, Banfield, O'Connor (N Holman)

Ruck: Martin, Gawn (Olango)

Fwd: Heeney, Billings, D Smith,
Petracca, Christensen, Smith (Garlett, Ryan)

Keefe not playing, so move O’Connor to DEF and pick another mid rookie. Plenty there to choose from.

Not convinced Sicily will be an effective scorer. His standard deviation is massive. Can go from 100 one week to 40 the next. Maybe spend the extra 86K on upgrading him.
Each to their own with Danger, hard to say whether you carry him a week or not. I wouldn’t, but then many are.

McGrath was impressive, think he might be a good pick. Had him in but ended up finding the cash to go up to Savage instead. Got a feeling I might regret that.

Smith scored well, but can't say i saw him do much. Might have got some of Zerrett's points. Sucks for those who picked Zerrett, unlucky there.

Dangerfield & Conglio
vs Tom Mitchell & Josh Kelly...
It’s like having the number 1 draft pick and trading it for picks 2&3. Is it better to have the number 1 player in the league, or the 2nd & 3rd? (Dusty excepted - already got him VC’d).

Considering Danger isn't playing this week and is no certainty for next week I'd be picking Mitch and Kelly for sure.

I noticed that players are getting +1 for a pressure act that results in a turn over but I'm pretty sure this was the case last year.

He did score well, was set for a 100+ but was playing more wing/half forward in the second half. What is interesting is that when he was around the ball playing as an inside mid he racked it up and won a number of clearances. No idea why Worsfold didn't play him in there more which is worrying signs as an owner

Agree I was worried seeing they moved him forward of the ball especially in the last quarter when they were looking to create goal opportunities. Can only hope they won't do that when Orazio comes back from injury.
