Monday Morning Review

Written by Motts on March 28 2011

After 6 months of planning, scheming, trading, changing, and then changing another 1,000 times, how did the boys go for you on the weekend? Give it to us in the following format:

Score –

Captain –

Happy with –

On the block –

Giving serious consideration to bringing in –

Tipped X winners –

(include the draw as a win)

Now for all you rookies out there, don’t go making any trades this morning. Player values won’t change until after their 3rd round of playing so if you were unhappy with a bloke’s score on the weekend give him at least until the end of R2 before you consign him to the scrap heap.

  1. Score – 2,143 won my two private leagues but lost my 3 SCT leagues inc a close loss to Roo Bloke and a thumping by TeamStillNeedsWork. Both hurt equally as much.

    Captain – Gibbs, should’ve listened to Deano and jumped on Cox.

    Happy with – Gibbs, Pendles, Cox, Sandi, Burgoyne, Lower, Rioli, Heppell, Krakouer and Goddard

    On the block – J Selwood will get a stern talking to today about running at the ball lip first but will probably survive. Dean Bailey will be blasted for making Petterd the sub. How good did he look when he eventually made it onto the field??

    Giving serious consideration to bringing in – ROK, Harry Taylor

    Tipped X winners – 5. Hearty congrats to YPWanderer for his 8.

  10. Mike, depends what you are playing for. If yo uare simply about the leagues then i’d advise no trades til after the Rnd 4-6 non-league block of games (if you can avoid them) and you might be able to pick up some players of value cheaper.

    That said though, there are numerous people on this site with delusions of grandeur and hoping of getting somewhere near the pointy end of the overall comp. I’d personally find more satisfaction out of getting top 100 or top 50 than snaring a few cheap bucks from my mates. And, to do well overall you do need an element of crash and burn with your trades.

  14. I predicted that ruck scores would go up this year with teams not resting rucking on the bench but up fwd – a great example of this was Cox last night who was cramping ’cause of the heat but due to their sub already being enacted he just camped himself in the fwd line.

    2 of the top 5 scores were rucks (Cox, Ryder)
    4 of the top 13 scores were rucks (Cox, Ryder, Sandi, Hille)
    8 ruckmen cracked the ton (Cox, Ryder, Sandi, Hille, Warnock, Mumford, Ottens, McEvoy)

    … to anyone who saved money by not selecting two out and out gun ruckmen, well all i can say is that i warned you pre-season that the rucks were more important in SC with the advent of the sub rule.

    … i strongly suggest that anyone with some spare cash and crappy ruck stocks reinvests there money in the next fortnight before the price rise

    Happy with – Decided to include Mckernan instead of Otten as Otten was supposedly the sub – paid off handsomely, Lower, Heppell, Tapscott, and Darling and Richardson were very nice off the pine.

    On the block – Only real problems were Selwood and Boak, but I’m keeping Selwood and Boak still got an 86 when his team was beaten by 75 points, so can’t ditch him because of that!

    Giving serious consideration to bringing in – Bartel’s clutch play impressed me, as did Cotchin

    As it stands, I have no place for McKernan, Harris, Irons, Toy or Matera who will have to earn their place in HGL’s team.

    On the block – Nil (can’t be too greedy) but not happy with McGlynn’s score – was expecting around 110 but it seems ROK stole alot of points from him in the last Q. Will forgive Duffman as I think the structure without Silvagni forced him to play deep back.

    Giving serious consideration to bringing in – Nil, lets watch the next two rounds first before jumping to conclusions. I’m already regretting taking Judd instead of Swan so I didn’t have the 2 Pie guns but at least there was no damage done this week.

  63. Yeah, I would’ve had to downgrade elsewhere. You never know – that could have cost me the increase from Swan anyway!

  64. Trade junkies like me need this type of support. Maybe s/c talk could offer a ‘trade junkies anonymous’ service? TJA meetings start at 6…

  67. Keeping Lower in starting 22, with Otten being rumoured to be a sub I didn’t consider him Rd 1 and had Heppel as E. Started Duigan Rd 1 but gonna put Coad from GCS in and see how he goes.
    Think I’ll take Libba out for GCS Swallow, and have Harris (GCS) as E.
    Leaving forwards as they are and giving Yarran ,Goodes, Varcoe and Harvey all a chance to redeem themselves, With the Crows bye McKernan not an option so will leave Darling as E and Matera in the stands..
    So that’s 2 GCS in for Rd 2!!

    There can’t be alot going on upstairs with Waite. Either that or he’s just got white line fever. I played with a bloke that remains one of my best mates today and played over 100 internationals but once he passed that white line the red mist took over and it was like he was a totally different person.
    Talking about neurological activity (or lack thereof), the review panel once again early in the season have demonstrated classic inconsistency with the Waite/Scarlet assessments.
    Was Juddy his advocate???

  70. If you are going for overall and you have J Selwood, do you be agressive and trade him out for a premium that will play so you don’t lose ground?

    Also are the GC dynamic duo of Harris and Swallow automatic starters in the mids for SC? Or would you stick with at least A Krackouer?

  71. If you’ve got suitable coverage i.e Harris or D.Swallow, I’d keep him cos at most he’ll only be missing this week. But if you don’t then trade him out, Lingy.

  72. wouldn’t the same rule apply about waiting a couple of weeks before trading out? (unless no backup..)

  73. Depends, if you’re going for overall and you don’t want to lose ground or if you think you can make up the ground later on, Dolly.

  74. Anyone got any thoughts on Johncock?

    He spudded it up big time on the weekend with a disgraceful 41. needs 222 to break even, has a bye next week and i have a feeling that my gamble to try and have a unique might not have paid off, i think he’s going to get a forward tag each week.

    Got a great score in the first round (2375) and as i am now much closer to overall contention than i would have thought, i’m thinking about burning a trade early to get some consistent and maybe still slightly unique to have a crack at the big one (silly not to), anyone got any ideas? already have godd and gibbs and was thinking Enright or Newman?

    Appreciate thoughts on Petterd’s performance – will a cameo like that mean more TOG, or does it only cement him as a “supersub” and more time in the vest?

  76. Yes good advice Deano and ordinarily I’d agree 100%. But also consider this. IF (and only if) Selwood doesn’t play this week, you get an average of 12 points over 2 weeks (the first 2 rounds!) + byes in round 6 and 22 (finals) which is not good enough from a premium/keeper. Puts you way behind the 8 ball (unless your like me who is way behind two 8-balls courtesy of Selwood and weakasp!ssgoldstein).

    It may just be worth cutting your losses and trading a premium in this case.
