WOW!
Just got inside news that there will be 8 changes made, which of those name in the mix are,
buddy, rioli, baily, suckling, birchell, guerra n a few others!
good news is that mitchell will be back!
Not Budwood or Cyril :'( Rest I can live with.
same but really need riloi to rest lol!
this isnt great considering ive got buddy, rioli and hodge....
hmmmmmmmmm lucky i saved 2 trades for the final but... both on hawks?? wasnt expecting that!
please bring on mass resting to reward those with depth and/or trades
Ins - Stratton, Bateman, Ladson, Mitchell, Johnson, Ellis, Cheney, Lisle
Not looking forward to the outs :-\
Have depth but used last two trades last week. Have depth to cover forward and back, but hoping hodge still plays!
OUT: Birchall, Bailey, Sewell, Buddy, Rioli, Burgoyne, Hodge.
FLOWER!
Buddy, Cyril, Hodge, Birchall, Bailey, Sewell and Burgoyne all out. NOT HAPPY HAWTHORN!
not a bad guess guys ;-)
i get inside news at hawks from a guy at work helps with their recruiting lol
Also Lewis out.
At least Toy and J.Tippet come in from GC for cover :)
OUTS:
Wells,
Davis,
Thomas,
Otten,
Iles,
Fyfe,
Lower,
Bailey,
Birchall,
Buddy,
Rioli,
Hodge,
Lewis,
Burgoyne,
Sewell,
This is why trades are gold, and why I'm going to lose my Grand final :/
Fantastic evens the fields up now lol
bullshower... with outs like this in finals ill probably never go for a finished team of premiums ever again just so i can have trades for finals. hodge,birchall,franklin and davis.... this sucks bigtime.
GAJ as Captain now.
With those out, he's gonna get a larger piece of the pie.
GAJ capt i like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got one trade left. Either Buddy or Hodge gone, looks like I'll be keeping Heppell on the bench, can't afford to trade him.
Flower...I'm in trouble now..I lose Hodge, birch and Franklin...They better win the flag now!!!
Only buddy out for me.
Hope Mitchell pulls out as well
This is exactly why the fantasy GF shouldn't be the last home and away round. It should be the second last round, just like in the majority of the NFL fantasy leagues.
franklin my only out. heavenous for me!
the guy im playing aginst has no:
d.thomas, heppell, bailey, buddy, zaharakis, sylivia, rioli
LOL
Oh this turns my whole GF around. My bench has better coverage than my opponents, and he has one trade to do as well. Cash!! oh yeah!!
Franklin and Rioli for me. Grundy covers Rioli and 1 trade for Franklin. only 8 k though!

Only reason it is this year was due to the bye I think
Should i trade franklin out in the fwd line to someone like stevie j or cloke. or should i trade fyfe in the midfield and get someone like swallow or boyd or beams??
Do the maths - I would think the bang for your buck is in your mids. Beams for POD.
If you are short in your mids, that is where you should get better bang for your buck... Mitchell vs GC if you dont have him
who to start smith or lobbe??? n y?? cheers!
Dmacs Destroyers:

same outs
broughton,callinan,petrie and a jam donut come in!
when did davis do his hammy? i was prepared for the hawks players getting rested but davis was a surprise and is costing me a donut! :(
buddy is set for a ripper agaist GC. get rid of beams mate
Its great having trades, not so much when fyfe, davis, rioli, franklin, hodge and birchall all go at once. Will be a few war of attrition grandfinals this week.
scratch that, franklin isnt playing
i have franklin and fyfe and i want to trade 1 of them out of my team. the others a possible players i could get.
you've got to be showertin me?!?!?
i get that everyone is in the same situation but how the flower do you make a fantasy AFL team based on how many players an AFL team is goin to rest in the last H&A rounds?? ???

beats me. don't pick premiums in good teams next yr and don't pick premiums in crap teams either as they go for early surgery. just get premiums who are fighting for top 8 position. eg andrew swallow.
With the Hawks resting all their players i now probably do not have a chance with Rioli and Franklin getting rested as i only have cover for one of them and also hodge out aswell which i have gaff to cover but i also have pav, fyfe and sylvia in my team so i don't know if i will be able to cover for them :-\
we all knew they were going to rest a few against GC rd 24. Didn't think it would be heaps though..
Help me out here guys, who should I trade Franklin out for?
they've screwed most... some have gotten away with only 1 or two though, which seems to be everyone i'm playing.
this is stupid.
there has to be a "rest" trade for round 24 next year for every team that makes a gf. so ridiculous.

yea i thought they might rest a few but not that many, but i just realised callinan is playing so i will now only have 1 donut :-\

think its just 'soreness' like when he missed a few weeks ago. probably pulled up a little sore again and they gave him the week off, make sure hes right for the serious stuff
it's St Kilda first final a couple of years back
7 gun outs then
killed a lot of top of the ladder teams
and not one of my opponents has birchall in the backline >:(
ps: i don't think we have seen the total carnage of this weekend yet :P

+1 ;D
No donuts, still have emergency cover in all lines except DEF and 2 trades + 67K cash 8)
Better win this Final :o
I have Sylvia, Franklin, Hodge, Birchall, Rioli out.
So 3 zeros.

ah, Naste! you've brought the rum bottle back! old skool, nice ... ;)
So I trade in Franklin to give me more depth in the fwd line last week and the hawks reward me with this..
Never going to buy extra premiums and waste trades if clubs are gonna do this to us.. >:(
I also have rioli and sylvia on the bench eating donuts.. >:(
So sad looking at my opponents SC list. Hodge, Buddy, Rioli. Very unfortunate for the GF unless you have the depth, as stated above, or the two trades left for the last round to replace them.

i have the two trades, but the two trades don't cover this carnage

Seems to happen to often in our GF, i think we should start from rnd 1 and play our GF in rnd19-20 and avoid the carnage of teams resting players. I dont blame em for resting players coming into finals when a premiership is on the line, they shouldnt and dont give a fats rats clacker about us, hope the powers to be of Fantasy Footy i.e DT and SC are trolling here lol.
I'll give Andrew a phone call & will be fixed for next year. Pfft.
Guys I have started a poll in an attempt to gauge the overall effect of resting players has on GF so please take the time to vote as I want to collatte and then work on alterante proposals to put forwrad.
i'm all for earlier proposals of having it in the 2nd last week of regular season per NFL fantasy
greatly mitigates the 'resting' risk unless teams have really pulled far ahead of the pack
