Will27 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 IMO, the MRP is a joke. Too many reductions for good records, carry over points, pleading guilty etc. A prime example this weekend. Colin Sylvia from Melbourne knocks out Brennan from GWS with an elbow. The MRP says it wasn't deliberate, was just reckless. <deleted>! Betts gets a huge reduction because of a good record and a guilty plea. So he gets 3 weeks and the guy with a broken jaw probably gets 6. It's a raffle but something is wrong with a system that lets a guy get a week due to a flick to the nuts while a guy who knocks someone out gets 3.

No. I didnt want you to think I was copying yours either so I picked early this week. My picking style is fairly simple. I write down a list immediately following the last game of the round, or if there is a monday night match I do it sunday night-ish. There are always question mark games and I add a mark next to those for whatever reason and decide on those in a few days. I find this method easier for myself as I dont chop and change my mind.

Most probably it will take a particularly nasty knock on someone high profile that puts them out for the season and serious debate about the issue will bring it up for discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always question mark games and I add a mark next to those for whatever reason and decide on those in a few days. I find this method easier for myself as I dont chop and change my mind. Mine is a different to that,I have set up a spreadsheet with a section for each club and each section has the same set of information in columns.each column has a particular type of information.There are 13 columns and every now and then I will add another column if I think it will help.No system can be 100% correct every time,there is always a chance that a team will bob up and beat a more fancied opponet.One column shows the odds for Nth Melbourne at $3.20 and West Coast at $1.35 but the rest of the information didn't agree with that,so I went for Nth Melbourne instead of the Eagles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Some confusement..if you dont know already. these players have the same name but play for different teams Sam Reid - plays for Sydney Swans Sam Reid - Plays for GWS Tom Lynch - Plays for Adelaide Tom Lunch - PLays for Gold Coast What would happen if the players are traded and end up playing for the same team? Has that ever happened before? And of course Josh Kennedy - Plays for Swans Josh Kennedy - Plays for West Coast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 West Coast wins after the siren.Good to see a close game. Daw was subbed off. Six goals one week and subbed off the next. He will improve as he plays more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 West Coast wins after the siren.Good to see a close game. Daw was subbed off. Six goals one week and subbed off the next. He will improve as he plays more games. Majak looked a bit lost at times. I think he would be happy just standing up forward taking marks and kicking goals. I'm sure the coaches are working on his 'work rate'. He has the goods, that's for sure, just hope he doesn't get stardom attitude. With 30 seconds to go I was pencilling the game in as a North win. Some controversy over the penalty that led to Naitanui marking and kicking, but really, North should have beaten them last night and also could have beaten Hawthorn and Geelong this year.

BookMan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 a 'What if' Buddy Frankling is yet to re sign for the Hawks. What are the chances someone like the Gold Coast, or Western Sydney making a big offer for him? the chances are reasonable but what would teh chance of Buddy be in taking up any offer? Can you see Buddy going to either team? Buddy and Ablett both at the Gold Coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see Buddy going to either team? Buddy and Ablett both at the Gold Coast? Both at the gold coast, and the steady improvement the suns are showing this year could make for a dangerous side. My tip is that Buddy will get a handsome offer from GWS which he couldn't refuse. GWS have enough top draft picks also to offer as compensation. Let's have a Poll; Do you think Buddy will leave?

I was actually looking forward to Majak and Naitanui hit it out. Daw one the 1st knock and held his own against both Cox and Naitanui in the ruck, it was his work around the field that let him down this week.

BookMan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Let's have a Poll; a 'What if' Do you think Buddy will leave? Where will he go and; Why I think he will leave. (though if the Hawks make the GF and win that could change things) As you have pointed out, GWS, would be a likely option. He is the biggest drawcard in the AFL and has the potential to bring huge crowds to watch him in Western Sydney. The AFL would be very keen to have him at the club. Combine him with the GWS forwards Jeremy Cameron and Jonathon Patton, both forwards with huge potential. (could GWS keep all 3 though??) In addition I presume GWS would have more $$$ to make a play for Buddy. With the AFL so keen to have him at GWS it would make the incentives they could offer hard to compete with. The Hawks could not match the dollars GWS could pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
