Anyone watching the game? 12 at quarter time is awful! What's going on?
Mistake

Mistake
If you're refering to the fact that I and a lot of others have picked him as Captain, you're bloody right!
Thompson is getting outscored by Otten too (who I traded out instead of B. Smith about 3-4 weeks agoa :( ) thanks to 4 frees against in just over a quarter... (gotta be a record!), not to mention the fact that my league opponent is playing Libba on the field... lucky bugger... *grumble grumble*.
Disaster..second quarter not going much better.
Was going to go GAJ but chances my mind at the last moment...bugged...opponent has cox, who will probably score big THIS week...dammit
flower, i am actually over this DT season. Never thought I'd say it but I am.
Could've picked anyone else but thought Boyd would be ok. My opponent has Shiels and I know that little flower is going to slut it up against Gold Coast.
What the hell is with Andy Otten's score? Of course my opponent has him on the field...
what is flowering happening. can this week get any worse. have knights and boyd as captain and he is on 29 at half time. need huge junk time
last week had cox, week before selwood, week before swan, week before redden
my captains cant ever score a ton. if i had right captain choices could be ranked top 100

Tell me about it, I traded him out 4 rounds ago for Jacobs as there was absolutely no word on when he was coming back... the of course B. Smith who I could have traded out over him gets injured... so bloody annoying (although thankfully my opponent doesn't have him).

Yep my opponent has Cox as captain too... here's hoping he doesn't pump out a 120 + !
boyd needs 90 in the second half just to get a good captain score. dont see it happening. and knights i cant see him scoring anymore than 50. you are gone next week for sylvia
Thank god my opponent left zac smith in. That will even it up a bit as I have vardy and cox, and he has cox only but as captain.
although i hate to say ir coz i am in the same boat i dont think vardys 50 will make up for lost points on captain with boyd
i was going to go Boyd as last week i planned to put Clavins captain advised me to go cox, was going ot go against his boyd doesnt play well against adeliade but i put the faith in for one more week with Mitchell so im happy at the moment.
He scored 18 in quarter two. If we treat it as an exponential relationship, he should score 27 in quarter 3 and 40-41 in quarter 4. Grand total of 12+18+27+40 = 97...
Wow, even unwarranted extrapolation doesn't give him a good score. Oh dear :-\

i like your thinking :)
but this thread is as depressing as watching the score climb at a snail's pace...
i want to look away from both but misery likes company!
scores looking great so far
have knights and boyd playing and boyd as captain. traded mckernan to isaac smith and i was considering knights coz he looked slow last week but thought he would find form against bulldogs but no he gets subbed for 20 and will price bottom and wont be trade bait coz he will be anorexic
Adelaide is Boyd's worst team and therefore a huge risk to put as captain, I don't care if "they're rubbish this year" they were rubbish last year but they're still his worst team... Obviously he struggles for some reason, and I think it was a stupid risk to captain him. He had a big score last week but hasn't been in great form...
At least he isn't my captain :)

But stats like those have been proven wrong time and time again... Boyd was in good form, and there is no real logical reason he would play badly versus Adeliade... it just doesn't make sense that a player scores badly versus a specific team, unless he constantly gets tagged by the same player, who just happens to really shut his game down... although Boyd got tagged, Dougherty is not one of the top taggers is he?

It also gets proven right time and time again, like tonight. It can be certain players he struggles against, the other team's formations...
Boyd averages 83 in his last 3 against Adelaide and a 94 his highest score in his last 4 against them... They just "have his name" or so to speak. He struggles against them and proved so tonight.
Enough to convince me off him.
The 3 weeks before Boyd's one big score (143) he only averaged 105... He's not really in great form other than that one big score (based on Boyd's lofty standards)

yes he is quite good. held boomer to 75 last week.
Fair enough, I have no idea about the better taggers barring Cornes and Jones.
And Nails, perhaps you're right, but that doesn't change the fact that those stats are often proved wrong... it seems that in Boyd's case though, it's right on the money :( It really was a 50/50 with me between him and Mitchell, and I guess like many other captain choices this year, I lost this one :P

FMDT trade him in and made him captain :(

Where's the "Cox as captain while opponent has Boyd captain and Knights on field" club? ;D ;D ;D
I dunno why I kept it on Cox after last week but I sure hope he scores more than 70...
Im an offical "Boyd as captain and Knights on feild while opponent has Liem Shiels as Captain" can club member.
Never thought I would say this, but FMDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched the entire game and the 3rd QTR had me really angry. Literally for 15 minutes Adelaide had the ball and Boyd could only get the little dish off.
No marks and not many kick would not have helped.
I had him as C, that's 3 third sub 100 score this year from my captain. ::)
Mitchell already has Boyd's score at half time... haha

I was so sad when I saw that... I swapped the captain from Mitchell to Boyd with 2 mins left before lock out... I should have just got up and walked away, and just left things how they were lol.
While I was driving (had to go to the dentist) I remembered that I had Mzungu as Captain.........Thus there was a mad dash to get home before lockout. I got home with 10 mins to spare.......Should have keft it on Tendai/ :P

Haha! At least Tendai is a chance for getting an 80 lol. Can't believe Boyd got a 70... I know everyone will say about his average against to Crows etc etc. But in his current form I thought he would carve it against the Crows regardless! Never mind! Will have to perma captain Murphy maybe :O
My Dad was holding on tight! ;)
P.s. I started this thread because I was annoyed one of my midfielders was doing poorly. I didn't have Boyd captain, I had Mitchell captain. :D
