The Who to start Thread...

[ossie85]

Going out shortly, who to put on the bench

Mzungu

[pothead]

Which one to start??

[wardie]

With no trades left i am forced to play one of these 2 in the forwards (the other will be back emergency)

McKERNAN has looked ok since Bicks took over but TALIA i feel as more scoring potential.

Agree, Talia... close though

And you'll notice that nobody was replying to that thread anyway.

That's the problem with these who to start threads... they are always 2-3 posts long, often asking the same thing. McKernan v Talia? Isn't half the fun guessing yourself!

still dont see the issue with them being 3-4 posts long?? at least the poll stays where it should be and people can vote on it. in the instance they are all merged it all gets lost, including the polls.

Thats the problem when a poll is merged, my choices were in the poll,  :o
my question doesnt mention names, the poll did - Who do I out on the bench N Roo or Mzungu.

[roo boys!]

Who to start, Puopolo or Duffield?

Gonna say Duff.  This could blow up in your face, or you could look at a very good score.

Quietly confident this week, with how the Freo team is lining up.

Good point. I think I might go Duff.

Although Oss said Pup :-\


@Runnin Scared put Mzungu on the bench.

By the way if you are unhappy with this thread guys then you will always get an answer in Ask R&B :) *shameless plug :P

Because the board gets clogged with all these threads that nobody reads and contributes in. Same with the dozens of captains threads people start up.

@Runnin Scared.... I try to answer the post when that happens. Perhaps you should write more detail in your post, and provide a little bit of research or even just an OPINION rather than trying to make other people decide for you....

Thanks Mate! :)

Not a problem.

Merging all these 'who to start' threads is such a turn off and just confusing. I just want to see a poll between mzungu and nick riewoldt and maybe some detailed discussion. This mess of a thread doesn't allow that.

Nobody replies in depth to these threads... more than once anyway. Mzungu is mentioned in THOUSANDS of threads every week.

Plus most (not all) don't offer any of there own opinions.... just give a choice

.... plus, I don't understand these threads in general. Wouldn't it be simpler just to give your username and password on these forums if you're gonna let people make the decision for you.

It's not as simple as asking a question, some random answering it without explanation and then logging into your account and doing as they say. Like say for instance, I think it would be better to start nick riewoldt over mzungu because tendai is playing the best team. Someone then brings to my attention that with all the freo injuries, tendai may get a main midfield role that will give him alot of the ball, but then someone counters that with Nroo's great record against North. I add all these up and make my own decision. This site has given me in depth replies all year and i almost owe it my top 50 ranking. I don't see the need to change the way things were.

Yeah, except people don't reply like that anymore... I waited until today to start merging all the who to start threads, to see if people would reply in analysis... and they didn't.

This site is a great resource.... but I don't see the point of millions of threads saying the same thing. The reason I have been trying to merge threads is because of all the complaints of clutter I've had.

[roo boys!]

This site has given me great help over the years - yet I still have a horrid ranking outside the top 50k :P Go figure :P

Also, that shouldn't be a reason not to take my advice! It's all good!

Cautionary tale roo boys!

[dmac07]

Is it still possible to see old poll results?

And have to agree to disagree, having one thread like this covering up to 10-15 topics makes it a mess and a pain to have any discussion on a particular issue. Which defeats the purpose the number one purpose of a forum to provide a place for ordered and topical discussion.

Not possible for old post results, but I look at all the posts before I merge them, and most of them only have a couple of votes (even if they've been on here for days).

dmac, unfortunately, people are as bored by these who to start topics as I am, and they rarely given in depth replies. So any hope for ordered discussion is lost...

[plugger36]

Mzungu vs Coll

Didak vs Frem

I.Smith vs WB
