Welcome to " Doughnut Week " or To Be or Not To Be ??

Sabretooth Tigers · June 05, 2015, 04:26:31 PM

::)

Have :- Henderson - out, McKenzie - out, Oxley - maybe out or vested, B Smith - maybe vested and N Brown (bugger) in defence AND

Have :- Bennell - out, Bontimpelli - out, Clark - out, Krakouer - out,

Have $156,400 and 2 trades. Being kinda stuffed would be a bloody understatement. Giving up , not an option. The solution
is obviously nothing short of a miracle.
So will ride the doughnuts and just do as I was going to before "shower - creek" came on the scene. No point in panic trading just to avoid zeros, but it is tempting. Cheers and best of luck to all. ???

Krak>Dumont
Mckenzie>Hibberd

Something like that maybe!?

Trading Clark and Krak out gives you about $580k plus the $156k you already have.

Thats enough for a rookie and a Prem but Dale looks like the only rookie you can get atm if you dont have him (even though im not getting him as i dont like his JS)

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions guys. Looking at Bennell to Goddard and then Cripps to Krak via dpp and the Dahlhause up forward. Means I'm playing Vanderberg and Dumont in the guts and risking all in defence. Keeping Bont and Rocky ATM. What a week it's been in footy. ;)
Any better variations ?? :)

PS I have a really good team, they're just not used to playing together on the park!! :'(

Trading Bennell out seems like a bit of a waste in my opinion!

I'm going Rocky > Wallis and Oxley > Yeo.

Means I have Cripps, CEY and Wallis at M6, M7 and M8 and Yeo at D4 with Sadd and McIntosh at D5 and D6.

No bench cover at all anywhere due to the carnage unless Saint Goddard gets a game.

McKenzie, Glenn, Clark and Bonts all on the bench injured and Krak back on the rookie list. ::)

Is the Krak coming back?

Twice injured, plus attitude problems, and from one of the most gifted players in the game. Can't see him turning things around whilst he is a GCS, I've held all season and now I'm finally letting go. :'(

Pretty sure after round 12 clubs can upgrade another rookie.

yeah but a BE of 109 is pretty high for a vest candidate

If I could trade Bennell this season I would. I bet he misses next week as well given the bye is the following week and gives him time to recover

But I physically can't afford to trade him out I don't think

If Krak can't help during the byes then not much point in keeping him IMO.

Am forced to trade Bennell out this week because if I'm still in the hunt for overall I cannot afford to be playing too many rookies.

Bennell to Buddy and will wait on the second trade in the case I have to field Ox but will be going hopefully Ox/Krak to Dumont.

Will then be playing only Tarrant, Ox, Saad, Wallis as my 'rookies' with Lumumba my least scoring player after that. (Rocky on the pine)

Reasoning with Bennell is that he'll be rested next week to have a three week layoff and his attitude issues is something I don't want to carry (have a burden of) for the rest of the year as stated above.. Is a shame but would rather Buddy in my team from this point on, if I knew Bennell would be playing without half of the GC team at times, I would never have picked him (hindsight ahaha)

YoungGun · June 05, 2015, 07:44:08 PM

the week from hell, im in the same boat. half a forward line and got 2 donuts

bont bennell clark krak biggs mckenzie rockliff lever all out, it's a joke.

don't think I want to sideways Bennell. Hopefully he comes back next week. Doing well in overall so happy to trade but no matter what I do this week my team is still absolutely flowered. So planning to just keep the same trades and cop the donuts. Only option to avoid 1 of the 2 donuts is to sideways Bennell :/ ermagerd. y u do dis sc
