42 DT points in a quarter and 3 minutes in a side getting smashed, i have no regrets in starting embley, tho not in DT as i said above i started him in sportsbet and centrebet comps.

he cost just over 200k and already has a negative breakeven after one quarter of footy.

why is having embley so bad for the price he cost? lecras POOR BLOKE out makes embley even a better pick as a mid/fwd which is what he is these days.

agreed colli, I think he is a better pickup after seeing him play a few games though.

Would really suck if anyone kept Embley,

I'm flowering mad.I was at work, got talked into a few for Embley for my SC and Sportsbet...Was at work, Embley sub. FMSC. Tried to phone mum when in the car delivering pizzas to get her to make the trade, bounce of the ball, too late fmsc fmsb. It'll probably cost me $50,000.

If you leave it to a woman to follow a time table your going to have a bad time.

I didn't

I called mum like 1 minute before the bounce as that was the first time I heard the subs

My teams got shat on.

At least I can still win the 70K in centrebet and 50K in DT.

You should download the DreamTeam app Nails, You would benefit from that with rolling lockouts.

Me no have phone that does apps.

Dreamteam isn't doing rolling lockout is it? Just the partial lockout for this first week?

Correct - nothing you, or I, could've done about it in DT.

stop stressing embley is a REQUIRED player for the eagles midfield he will play full games until injured and score very well through the midfield and going fwd.

great cash cow who will score better than most rooks.

i only have him in SB and CB but happy i do, 42 from a quarter and 3 minutes (DT) in a team being dominated is nothing to get upset about

24 points in SC.

And it's worth being sad about, I could've started a young rookie who smashes 3 weeks and downgrade

or even just started a rookie who scored 60 (like Kommer) and still be in the race for the cash :o

ok yeah 24 in sc is a whole world of pain in your midfield, but he is (especially after tonights effort) an essential cog in the eagles team.

they lacked run and effective use in the middle and he can provide both plus an experienced footy head.

hard to cop but it may be worth it in the long run? i would hold him for at least his second game anyway if not named sub again.

just think at least you didnt pay what danger cost and get what he dished up. or shuey, this is fantasy footy we all get screwed royally at some point - many points.

The annoying thing is, I probably was fanfooty's biggest shower talker of Embley in pre-season. But then I figured "meh, lots of other teams have him and I can fit an extra premo in fwds or backs" Therefore figuring it as not a risk

> Go to work
> Embley sub

just so annoying and a rather ironic twist. The one who said don't get him ended up with him, those who said get him he's a must have, don't have him ::)

i know i had boyd all preseason in DT and was all smug about going with the tried and tested and laughing at people taking danger and cotchin

what did i do a day before lockout...... boyd-danger

i get to eat shower sandwiches too :)

l have Embley in DT too, but am happy to keep him. But in SC l changed him to Kane Lucas, so l'll wait and see how both are going before l decide on how to go (but l do think Embley is a must have)

l also feel very lucky to have decided to ditch Danger for Watson in both DT and SC a couple of days ago

Early days! Flower!!
