Langdon showed he can play and seems a waste on my bench! Should I downgrade Hanley for a rookie, field Langdon and use the spare cash elsewhere?
2nd-4th choice means Langdon to start and Laidler to D7.
Plenty of window shoppers but no votes/advice.
Game's finished now so vote away peeps!
not happy i had him on the bench
i had him on the bench, it sucks
Me too :(
I have him E in mids. Trying to find out a way to get it.
Better than not having him at all!
E in defence.
Will try and get him on field.
What is Georgiou up to?

Have him with the E on my back bench, a Terlich or Vlastuin would be amazing ATM :P
McDonald/Martin/Langford being a late out with the flu would be nice :{
I had him on the bench with luke mcdonald.... E obviously on L Mac >:(

maybe crouch if he doesnt play, he could do a brad
On bench, no E. Had mcdonald instead
On my bench but no E
had him at D6
On the bench with the E . .
But happy to have him in the 30 . .
On bench in defence, E on Clurey.....arrrgghhhh
Had him D6. Soon as he was named, straight on the field for Clueless
As well as he went , will still be my E each week . .

Reckon he's the next Kyle Cheney?
Went with my gut feeling and started him on the field and it paid off ;D
On Bench with the E. We need to find out how to get him on the ground :-\
When is Alex Johnson due back. Webster>Johnson?
M10 and no E. Glad to have him though. Think McDonald may be my new M10 and Langdon my D6.
Anyone thinking about Fuller or KK to use the loophole on Langdon. Any other viable options??
Ye he is E in defence for me. I will cop it this week but definitely on field next week.
Dont know if I should just do a swap and bench Luke McDonald or downgrade Hanley and utilise the cash elsewhere.
Have Lmac as d6 , may change in a couple of rounds , but thinking Lmac will average more . . Could be wrong though . .
Ahhh - KK - had forgotten about him.
Welcome KK - and Langdon's ton.
I have the E on him but surely not worth putting a non player on the ground is it?
Are there any gun defenders suspended round 1?
I've got the E on Langdon, not sure what to do but will find a way to bank it. Georgiou might be a good bet at this stage.

Has he even been elevated yet? If he's elevated he will play. If he's not you cant get him because he may never get a chance
How far away is KK?
:)
Took the plunge in defence and went 3 prems ( no Suckling, Webster as D4 ) so Have Langdon at D6. Cheers. ;)

Considering rd2 is a fortnight away there might be some injured or suspended players to come back. If ya lucky and they fit your structure then i think it would be worth it. :-\

true, quietly hoping Langford isn't named this week because he's my first choice.
Last minute took him off the field and is now emergency. Will not go after his score.
My suggestion if you do want it though, pick Hubbard if he doesn't play.
What about Kade K?
Woot on the field at D6 :) 5 mid prems working again with 3 of them going 120+ already :D

Yea Ive got him on midfield bench. Im wondering whether I should get rid Thomas and have 4 starting rookies in the midfield.

If Hibberd misses just 1 I may well do that, had him in my side until he got injured
When is Brian Lake back ??
If I decide to loophole Langdon, should I bench Luke McDonald or trade him out? Seems very expensive to bench... but I guess it's only for one week!

Is it worth it? Because i assume Mitchell/Simpson is locked in every team and the other D i'd dropped would be McVeigh... McVeigh could easily score that so you might end up loosing points. It needs to be a rookie if you were to do it. K.K looks alright but is a bit expensive.

Hey,
Are you me in a hurry?
Yep, a hurry to find a player starting the year round 2. Please Hibbo, just rest up for another couple of weeks.
Matt Crouch gonna play regular footy? Thinking about spending Hanley money on bringing in Watson into a 5 man premium midfield and starting Langdon.
Either that or bring in Roughy/Parker up forward.

I really don't think so, a unsubbed rookie I expect to go about 70. Don't stuff your setup or a trade for 40 points, that's nothing over a season
The only thing to take from this is I went 2 starting back rookies, this strategy looks validated at this early stage, so downgrade to this back setup might be a goof move. But don't try and get his score on the field.
Saying that it could be a one off, its game 1 of the season it's a marathon not a Sprint. Also if you have a 125+ VC score take it.

I have Sandi... Unsure i would take that over Ablett, i told myself 135 before the game.

Could always trade one of your prems to Montagna since he is suspended round 1, but will still be a gun this year.

Using him for the loophole... should be back in a couple weeks time for their next game
Had Langdon as E, traded out Webster for KK
Have Langdon as E and Sandi as VC
If definitely a interesting question. Considering Laidler to KK to use both the VC and E loophole in 1.
I see KK as having better job security over the season than Laidler. But I can also burn a trade to make a correction trade for round 2 if he isn't named going forward.
I originally planned on a maximum of 3 corrections trades before the start of the leagues. Happy with the rest of my team and that I might need 1 in the midfield or 1 in the forwards if something isn't working.
its only one game... what you going to do if you move on laidler and he rips up a 90?
be happy that you have langdon in your team and his JS just shot right up

+1 sensible comment
Yep that's the question. It is tempting to do, but at what risk.
Don't forget players prices go up after R1 aswell this year so you will be losing cash generation for doing it too.
Don't think ill be doing it to be honest.

Just checked website and it still says 3 game average, must have played 3 games to increase or decrease.
Don't know what to think now.
So glad I didn't make the same mistake. Feel sorry for the others. I guess its only 1 match which shouldnt kill your season

In AF price increases after rd 2
<<<< another fool with Langdon's o so beautiful 111 sitting on the pine...question is now which 2 of Langford,Georgiou or McDonald to field hmmmm decisions decisions.
Now i am worried about Dunstan and Crouch on the bench :o
Not worth chasing his score. You don't want someone like KK sitting on your bench all year if he doesn't break into the side
Having him on field would have been the best option but the dilemma of having him on the bench as an emergency it seems far less stressful not having him at all and rather wait to see if he holds his spot when Seedsman returns and burn a trade if I have a non playing rookie.

Hey H
How can you of all people say 40 points is nothing over a whole season?
If I knew where to look I would check how many points separated first and THIRD in 2013.

232 points separated Dimmawits and Holzman
Wow. Holz was soooo bad last year then! :P
Another option to utilise langdons score is have a floating donut in the back line & pick a playing rookie ruck.
Ideal situation would be picking fuller in def as a temp floating donut then he debuts in round 6ish and a rookie ruck I.e. Thurlow maxes out in price on your ruck bench at the same time.
Really surprised that more people didn't have him on the ground.
As soon as I saw he wasn't sub, whacked him on the field.
Cant believe people are thinking about picking KK, Fuller etc to get Langdons score :o
I've had Hibberd locked all season, so I wont mind if he misses rd1 now :)
EDIT - His breakeven of 22 is going to make Langdon a juicy cow now too :)

Unfortunately, because its round 1 his score will only be involved in 1 price rise... :( I'm considering going McVeigh to Hibberd and Franklin to Roughy. Had Hibberd up until his injury and then was forced to downgrade Roughy to be able to get McVeigh (Not confident in any other guys) so now that i have Langdon's back up 113 if he doesn't get up, i think its worth starting him. Recent news on him is that he is in contention for round 1.
Yeah I expect Hibberd to play - but I have another idea about getting Langdon's score (Check out the thread Doc started to see my idea)
guys its only 1 score.. at least if you have him he will continue to make money for you
had him at d6 and took him out last minute! why? who knows! may have to burn a trade to get him if georgio lets me down. wait and see his next score though.
Stupid Stupid me should have fielded him!
Top work Tom!
Nice score! but even better, thanks for putting your JS in no doubt!
i love round 1. most reactionary time on these boards.
omg langdon ton! better flower my structure to get the extra 30-40 points!
remember two years ago? omg lake had a stinker. trade trade trade!
wow courtney dempsey played well, better get him in asap!
how'd that work out?
People need to relax, it's Round 1 and if Clurey goes on and gets 75 off half back you lost out on like 40 points.
If you trade well, you will make up for it by that.
You will also make up the points faster by trading to premiums earlier having that extra cash cow.
Instead of getting a non playing rookie stuck on your bench.
Who r peoples d6 mainly talking to those with Langdon on bench as E
I have Langdon as d7 with the E.
Happy he is in my team. Disappointed he is on the bench.
I have mcveigh, Mitchell, Huron, swallow, suckling, McDonald and clurey at d8.
Options for using his points (in addition to cad cow status!)
1. J hunt to m10 for crouch. Clever idea but how likely is hunt going to play?
2. Clurey to KK. Had Kk in my team before nab and think he will play early, but this must be done today!!
3. Hurn to Hibberd. No loss in that swap, but if Hibberd plays I still don't get points. It does give me an extra week to review.
4. Clurey to Fuller/Langford etc. too risky. Not sure if rookies or don't play rnd 1 when fit are worth having at all.
I do not have to trade for Langdon and wouldn't do that on one score, but while I can still swap players and improve my team (and score) why not look at the options.

McDonald at D6 at the moment and Langdon at D7.
Both have the capabilities of scoring 80+, thus why I was thinking of getting rid of Hanley for KK (get Langdon's score and spread cash around everywhere else).
