Title: Fremantle vs Richmond Discussion
Post by: Mr.Craig on April 26, 2013, 06:30:08 PM
Seems to be the story for me every Friday night - no players on the go. Maric, Grigg and Johnson in play for Elite.

Subs when they come to hand.

Lol I'm the opposite Craigy :P

Cotchin, Deledio, Martin in DT. And a whole bunch of them in Elite :P


I'm expecting Matty White or Brad Helbig to be sub for the Tiges... Reckon Vlas might get a start given the team structure at the moment :o Looking forwards to seeing him in action, that's for sure!

Post by: nickstiges on April 26, 2013, 06:38:02 PM
Cotch, Lids & Dustin "3Q" Martin for me

Gonna be pretty mad if Dusty stops in the second half again, looking forward to watching Vlastuin though.

I don't have any players either.

I like both these teams and reckon they will both be good teams across the next few years, going with Dockers with the home ground advantage tonight despite missing Pav.

Will monitor the score of Vlastuin for my DT, Walters, Fyfe captain, Dusty and Vickery for my worlds team, and a few players for Americas which I will not mention.

Fremantle Dockers ‏@Fremantle_FC 15s

LATE CHANGE: Paul Duffield is out and replaced by Nick Suban, who will be our sub #AFLFreoTigers #GoFreo @AFL
Title: Re: Fremantle vs Richmond Discussion

Confirmed Duffield out Suban in
Title: Re: Fremantle vs Richmond Discussion
Post by: Colliwobblers on April 26, 2013, 07:28:05 PM
yep and suban the sub.

lucky he got another chance after last week, he will need to shine when he comes on BIG TIME to hold his spot, which effectively he has already lost....

gives the tiges a better shot imo only one player but duff has been solid

Oh for flowers sake lol. Decided to hold suban and get mayes and evans in instead because he was dropped and therefore wouldn't drop in value. Can't reverse trades now and probably couldn't do anything anyway. He's bloody come in from 3rd emergency and been the late replacement and is sub so will now drop 20k, very annoying. Rant over lol. Should never have picked the spud, will never do so again thats for sure  ::).

Hopefully tons from Cotch and Maric will make me feel better. Could've been worse lol use him as a loophole and get stuck with nim as captain that would definitely be a FMDT.

Was in same situation mate, but I gave up getting evans instead and upgraded suban to birchell. Hoping mayes turns out a better pick than evans now. Happy with getting birchell though.

Gotta love the late Duffield out, it seems that Fremantle defenders specialize in burning their owners to the 10th degree! Anyone know why he is out?

Oh and trust Petterd to start scoring right when I trade him out! Hopefully Mayes has a good game, but I guess either way he will make a lot more cash, so it's no big deal (someone had to go for him).

On a positive note, Fyfe having a Duffield-esque first quarter! Let's hope he doesn't replicate the great Duff's 35 point effort in the last 3 quarters :(

Edit: And right on cue, Petterd goes backward by 6 points!

he is a star, plenty of hype for good reason, hold his spot? reckon that is assured, only question is why it took so long for him to come into the team...

2012 - captain of vic metro, all Australian, elite in most areas of the game and averaged 120 CD points per game in the championships.

safe bet he is a lock from this point on.

on another matter, what happened to fyfe, is crowley tagging him? 4 points for a quarter after 60 for the first  :-\

Gees, Mundy somehow on 46, really didn't notice him at all that quarter.

Maric is gone this week unless he does something crazy in the 2nd half. (Like get the flowering football)

Martin doing fine for now, bit slow, hopefully Cotchin get's more fwd time 2nd half after the twisted leg. (Even better though if Cotchin get's subbed :P)

Post by: powersuperkents on April 26, 2013, 11:41:23 PM
So proud of Dusty and Cotchin.

Dusty amazed and gained a * too go +2 (a -3 means your out in my team for premiums (Zorko reached it in 3 rounds  >:( ), Cotchin who is currently of a +4 (four amazing games) scored his first score under 100. This means I'd have to drop him to a +3 but unlike Pendlebury last week I couldn't. Too score an 84 with a twisted ankle is amazing and I'm sure if that incident hadn't occurred he would of easily posted 100+.

Walters is looking like a great pick, I have him in Fantasy Elite and might consider him as a target F7 (emergency) in regular dreamteam if I go significantly better this season than expected :)

When the ball hits the goal umpire it's play on wherever it bounces. If the whole of the ball crosses the whole of the line before befor ehitting the umpire, then it's a goal/point depending on the circumstances.

The correct call was made.


Onto fantasy: Mundy get's one last chance vs Gold Coast next week. Maric goes, probably to a premium fwd using the Cox DPP. Martin did well, probably aided by Cotching moving to the backline.

On Cotchin, he'll be at a nice price in a couple of weeks with that 84 rolling through his score.

To that Suban owner, did you start him? 94 points in the end :P

Trust a Central Districts player to save the day for Freo. Jack Hannath on debut, only one mark for the game, match saver. 8)

Vlastuin not bad on debut fantasy-wise, but was impressive in general. will look to downgrade to him in a couple of weeks time. Cotchin and Deledio average tonight, just glad Cotch soldiered on after that ankle :-X Had me worried there.

cos it's not a valid reason the tigers lost? would've been a point any way you slice and dice it - i haven't watch numerous replays (only what they showed as the game was going), but from what i saw looked like it would have hit the post anyway, also goal review is a joke, always inconclusive and the angles are always wrong, so doesn't really matter whether it was called for or not

conversely, i don't know how you can say they should have won by more when they didn't win at all lol

I have seen plenty of replays and it was going through not hitting the post.

It's in the highlights on Youtube if you look at the trajectory of the ball and also freeze frame it you can see it would have snuck inside that right hand goal post.

Goal review from another angle would have been clear.

The rules do say that if it rebounds off the goal umpire it is play on but still he shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Suban ended up on 94 from 2.5 quarters lol what the hell is that about. Played well and so will likely hold his spot. Not sure what to do with him now, if there are no injuries he'll probably go to heppell. Feels wrong trading out a guy who scored 90 so quickly but there's a chance he will be sub again and that if I field him next week he'll score another 40.

Cotchin did alright considering his ankle issue, normally woukd expect more than 85 from a 26 possy game though. Maric pulled through well to an ok score.

The rules do say that if it rebounds off the goal umpire it is play on but still he shouldn't have been there in the first place.

none of the angles (that i have seen) could be considered conclusive at all (got a link to something that shows more? i have checked afl and youtube), on the night i personally thought it was going to hit the back part of the post from what they showed of it during the game

as i said, the umpire review system is a complete joke, and in need of a rapid overhaul - why refer anything if you never have cameras in the right spots / aren't willing to overturn anything because there's almost nothing that can ever be shown to be conclusive enough to overturn an onfield decision

as for cotch, think his owners got a little unlucky with his injury, if he wasn't hobbling around for half the game, would've easily tonned up you'd suspect (and hence been not that bad a captain choice) ;/

flower, I went with Cotch as my captain in the end. Watch Jelwood, Boyd, Murph and Rocky drop big tons now haha.

Well you asked for my opinion and I pretty much ruled out Cotch as C option.....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I won't ever doubt you again... :P

I think you're right in that there was no conclusive video footage as to whether the ball was over the line but I think it was pretty likely (given the trajectory of the ball and where it hit the umpire on his leg) that it was going through had he not been there.

Someone suggested it a couple of weeks ago - take the cameras out of the changerooms (reducing the risk of a "Dicky Henderson" situation), and put them on the goal post. That would have been pretty conclusive in my books if they had a camera there.

I gotta agree that it was definitely in line to cross - in my book it was and should've been called a goal.
