Goldy in doubt ?!

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Majak Daw? Seriously?
He played the bombers in an experiment in playing 4 talls up forward (inc Brown, Waite and Petrie)
He kick a few goals, took some contested marks and then was dropped the week after.
I can barely see Majak scoring 70 IF Goldy is out.
And then what? Goldy comes back in the week after, Majak is dropped and you have a spud worth $247k on your bench fir the rest of the year..

My vote is doughnut. Put Majak out there as a 1 off, for 1 week , to cover 1 ruckman in 1 instance. Don't see the point in wasting 1 trade that will cost points in the long term. Cheers.

Anyone heard how training went this morning? What time do they fly out?

It's going to be damn cold here for the players too. Minus 1 when I left home this morning. Was hard to leave my woodheater!

Todd Goldstein stood on the ground for 20 minutes. Didn't run. Had a few short kicks. That's it. #willhe #wonthe @FOXFootyLive

Todd Goldstein on training track for @NMFCOfficial but not doing much. He'll be game-time decision tmw @abcnewsMelb

Jamie Macmillan says Majak Daw can step up as Roos' No.1 ruckman if Todd Goldstein is ruled out of Tigers clash

not looking great.

Cheers for the info Holz ;)
Would like to have heard he trained strongly but still expect him to play.
Saw footage last night from training earlier in the week and he appeared to me to be walking freely with no limp.

[Ricochet]

Both Daw and Goldy are on the flight

great news looks like they are really pushing him to play. You wouldnt fly him out if he wasnt a better then 50% chance of playing.

I'm gobsmacked with how many are not prepared for a ruck being out and copping a donut.. There was only ever going to be a slim chance that both rucks play all games...

Tippett is marginally overpriced but does average 94 which is more than ok to sit at F6 for a few weeks...

I don't have cover and frankly not worried at loosing 60-100 pts at this stage. Why you may ask?
There's still 11 rounds to go in the year after this week, plenty of time to catch up on the missed points..

For example..

Tippett is averaging 94 but likely to go around 100 this week against GC
If you trade in Tippett this week your stuck with him and a 90-95ppg player for the rest of the year.
If you trade in a Sinclair for example - he may get you a 60..
If you trade in a Dalhaus you're getting a guy that will likely average 100-110 from here to home

So basically, getting in Dahlaus at f6 over a Tippett will be a 10-20pt gain per week for 11 weeks.. That's 100-220pts over that time..

It's simply not worth sacrificing your team at this stage in order to cover you for one week..
Admittedly Gawn, Nic Nat, Goldy etc could all miss a few weeks here and there.. But 1 week at this time of the year is hardly disastrous

FYI - Maybe a Sinclair at $310k is a better option as your not loosing a lot from a M.Brown at $300k and you can have him as bench cover. But for me, Tippett especially, is a no go

I understand your rationale, I suppose it depends on what you're aiming for, if the best overall rank then 60-100 points is a massive amount to give away at this stage of the season, especially when it's more like 115 from a premium ruckman that you're missing when competing against a Gawn/Nicnac combo...

I traded Tippett a couple of weeks ago when a bit cheaper, and will become an F7/R3 in a few weeks. Ironically I'm hoping to trading Dahl into the mids this week for Kerridge and he'll swing forward in about 2-3 weeks when I complete the mids. May lose a few points in the next few rounds while he isn't at F7 but prefer that to the doughnut (that was for you Doc) alternative. It'll also provide coverage later in the year because I wouldn't back Goldy/Nicnac to play every round from here on in...

Ultimately I'm happy with Tippet at F6 for a few weeks and hope to loophole his 120's in there after the byes, that's the plan at least!

[meow meow]

Goldy will play... and Mason Cox will outscore him.

[shaker]

Maybe both Goldy and Daw will play to give Goldy a bit of a rest

[Holz]

yeah nah.

Goldy might not play

and  still outscore Mason :P
