ROUND 2 TEAM ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bartel Out,Cripps Out

[Torpedo10]

Trade Cripps or?

[Bully]

Pretty annoying having Bartel out

Makes league matches harder and hurts overall. Not the ideal start to the season

Hopefully Hogan can do well vs GWS as Bartel's replacement for me

Fortunately I get two bites of the cherry with a loophole, not overly worried as I don't have Lamb as well. Round 2 last year was a shocker for me, Hurn injured in the first minute and my ranking blowing out to 10,000. Managed to claw back into the top 1000 after 4-5 weeks, it's very early days and even an average performance this week won't be panic stations.

Trade Cripps or?

I would say yes, but I am tempted to wait a week

[Bully]

Trade Cripps or?

He's gotta go now.

[colmullet]

i'm waiting, no harm done this week....if someone smashes out a high score ill jump on em next week....but plenty of options to come off the bench to cover him this week

[Ringo]

Why would you trade him only a back injury

[Nails]

Trade Cripps or?

I would say yes, but I am tempted to wait a week

Yeah it's still price changes after 3rd game yeah?

Wait and see IMO. See which rookie looks best and gets a 3rd game. Don't want to trade into a rookie who gets dropped for 3rd round. Is he out because of injury or because he's a spud?

I'd trade him in AF though because no limited trade thing.

[AaronKirk]

Best options for Cripps?

Personally I'm holding and see how Lambert goes

[RaisyDaisy]

Yeah why are people trading Cripps? Sounds crazy

I just put him on the bench and moved Heeney onto the field

Bad job security and needs some development in the VFL

Because this is the round of panic, duh.

[Mat0369]

Lambert, NVB or Brayshaw. I think you wait a week though and hope your other rookies can cover

[RaisyDaisy]

Bad job security and needs some development in the VFL

And you think it's worth burning a trade on him now? For who? Brayshaw or Newton who could get subbed?

If he doesn't play next week I'll sideways him, but I with 3 playing rookies on the bench I cant see why you would waste a precious trade here

[eaglesman]

I am considering trading Cripps also ... Looked crap last week

I believe Mat when he says he can only play midfield and the Blues have too many of the same type of player ... May struggle to get back in

[Bully]

Why would you trade him only a back injury

He's already behind the eightball with his 50 and we don't know when he'll be back.
