Round 19 Discussion

[Steve]

Its only Thursday night and the week had already turned to shit for some!

Out : M. Boyd. S. Martin. M. Suckling

In : Dahlhaus. McVeigh (possibly a late out though).

It could be nasty.

Naismith in last week handy for the Stef out. Phew.

Archie Smith has been my R3 all year just waiting for this moment. A lot won't have cover I reckon.

Maybe not in the spirit of SC but geez I hope none of them have cover...!

 

[smirski]

No that's how i'm feeling, been a long year and some luck has finally come my way (really doesn't matter now though) but a little win none the less.

@Steve mate thats some serious luck starting Smith and him getting a start in the week you need him most. Well done and hope he scores ok for you.

I have Grimley for R3 who is named on extended bench *fingers crossed*

Hopefully Boyd is back next week as i will play Collins this week v Swans and Kerridge v Hawks or Petracca v Suns as F6

 

[Benj]

Thoughts on who I should play on ground for Boyd this week?
Either Collins v Swans or DBJ v Lions?

Unfortunately the Dogs are the Friday game so loopholing isn't an option this week.

I'd be tipping Grimley will get in, Mitch Brown and Mckernan are out, the only way he wouldn't play would be if Woosha plans to flick Ambrose up forward

Haha thanks. There was some dumb luck behind it but some solid reasoning too. I picked Smith as a loophole R3 in the hope that if Stef went down or was rested that he would be getting a game at some stage. Completely forgot that Trent West was on their list when I did it but the logic behind it was right. I've been cursing not having a R/F link all year but it's not bothering me this week.

Tom Hickey once again falls from the clouds to save me. Has been a handy F6/F7 all season.

 

[captainchardonnay]

seriously considering just taking a donut. 3 trades and $195k in the bank and deledio stinking up the fwd line. If I hold until I get another $20k out of Mathieson, Dahlhous drops $20k, then I can effectively bring in Bartel & Dalhaus next week and have CSmith & Rich as cover in mids/fwds/def fro remainder of year with one trade and fist full of cash.

Anyone know what the weathers like down @ Kardinia Park?

Just about to head there. I'll let you know in halfa! We had a little drizzle a couple of hours ago, expecting a little more tonight too. Greasy conditions without being wet. Very similar to last week against Adelaide.

Cheers mate, stay warm. I'm about to head out for the Winter Blues Festival here. Plenty of whisky and fire tonight for me to stay warm!

Putting the daughter to bed. Cracking a bottle of 389, and having a Wagyu steak while watching the game in the couch.

Meanwhile I'm stuck standing in the outer with watered down Carlton Mid! Better be a bloody good game haha

You'll' be right, plenty there to throw your arms around if it get's to cold!

 

[Steve]

Ok ground report... Cold but not too cold. It may get dewy later but seems ok for now. Patchy drizzle around earlier but it's holding off at the moment and has for the last 2 hours or so. Dogs said on MMM before that they will put more effort into Danger than last time. Selwood for a sneaky VC?
