Game Day 2022 SC Round 1 - Let's Get Ready To Ramble

[Jiska]

It's that time of the year where we're about to hit crazy season on the board.

In order to keep some order around the place, I've locked all threads except the standard ones that we have during the season - refer #5. Will leave the rate my preseason thread going until final lockout.

Any new threads that don't fit in to the standard structure will likely end up merged with either an existing suitable thread, or the General Chat thread as a catch-all.

Good luck to everyone - this is one of the toughest years to pick a starting side that I can remember.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Common theme amongst the top 4 - 5 deep in the backline, run deep in the midfield, and weak rucks.

Will the weak rucks strategy last though?

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

This is my second time playing this, I'm sure to stuff it up, got no idea how to trade

Still really chuffed with my team thus far.

Considering 3/4 of those have Jack Hayes at R2 with a non-playing R3, I’d suggest no.

One had Preuss.

Not many teams in the top 10 with 2 legit ruckman. Most in the next 10 do though.

I’m a set-and-forget nuffie with my rucks. Always have been.

Hasn’t really worked out well so far

Maybe it’s me.

Not one top 20 side was running Gawndy. A few with one plus Witts/English/Marshall.

A lot of sides with Witts up there.

Also a decent chunk of sides that will struggle for cash gen.

If you’ve got no idea how to trade, you just need to say the magic words

2286. Mitchell and Crisp the big flops so far. Hurt not having Hayes or Martin on field.

3rd ranked team has 8-9 102k players. Will suffer very quickly.

One of the top twenty sides was basically running straight donuts on the bench.

A fair few one hit wonders I’d imagine.

 

[Riviat]

I finished on (redacted) with a final ranking of (censored).

I would be perma'd if these details were displayed, which may not be a bad thing.

 

[JuddgementDay]

I'm chuffed - this is the best start I've had for a long while.
I would like to thank all the BF posters who... too early?

MPM all the way baby!
Now I have to trade properly to try to nudge up a bit at a time

 

[T4P]

Not unhappy, not stoked. Most PODs didn't perform - McInerny, Cummings, Thomas. Hayes and Martin on the bench. No Rachele or Rowell also not ideal.

 

[Nuggetz]

I own BigFooty

Mids and Fwds went nuts. Rucks/Defence was decent. If I backed my big gut, I would've had a bigger score but went with the more common sense option. Fk common sense, never listen to it kids...

I was flirting with Trac instead of Macrae and Marshall/Witts instead of O'Brien but once Darcy was ruled out I went for O'Brien. I don't regret it but it's annoying. I went with safety of Macrae v Trac, so I feel like a little bitch now haha.

There'll be a few teams just going for the weekly prize in the early rounds imo.

re Mcinerney, the ball didn't go to his wing often. It was sort of stuck on Dylan Stephens wing, also JPK playing HB took away some of his opportunities. Hopefully JPK ****s off from HB and Mcinerney can just some more chances in that position. Have faith Mcinerney owners!

Solid effort. See how your common sense holds up next week!

Thanks for the info, disappointing he got stuck on a wing...Will be at the game on Friday so will inspect him (and Buddy) closely, go Swannies!

This community is always happy to help out pal, you just need to ask.

Don’t ask me though, you’ll be doing your chances more harm than good.

Post team plenty to help.

No need to trade this week?

But next week yes before price changes

 

[Better Loosen Up]

For those who watched Norths match

How did you feel about Xerri, his role and scoring potential with Goldy & CCJ in the side?

I thought he looked good. CCJ will be lucky to hold his spot. He was rubbish. Hopefully Comben gets a crack soon.
