Lot of crazy trades for Goldy think I will eat doughnut , what if the the Swans GC game gets washed out the forecast is for buckets of rain , what did they do last year when the Crows coach was killed and the game was cancelled best 18 like the bye rounds I think ?

Do we have any stats on the best swimmers at the U/18 combine or preseason training for those two sides?  Would like to VC someone in that game.

Was going to get Dahlhaus for Bennedy but now I'm getting Tippett and swapping him and Grimley to cover the 0.

Tippett should be a good F6 and eventually F7.

Well, I finally get to play the Hickey card. Averaging 84, so hasn't been the worst RUC/FWD option sitting in my forward line all season!

Ditto.

Bit left field but I've brought in Lobb for Papely to cover Goldy (and future Ruck/fwd cover), via Grimely. My Fwds are full so it's only cover so I don't want to spend too much and Lobb has looked solid (albeit a bit inconsistent).

Bringing in Lobb has crossed my mind.

Is his JS solid?

No fear of getting dropped, etc?  :-\

If you haven't got cover just treat it as if Goldy put in a shocker and hope the rest of your team bails you out. Not much else you can do.

Form dependent like most, but certainly looked good from what I've seen of him this year. Maybe if Patton hit some ripping form, but even then they've been playing together anyway (and Lobb looking/playing better). Some risk but would be surprised if he was dropped if his form continues as it has been.

Yep. Only rookies are DBJ and Tracca so can hopefully make up some points on other blokes fielding more. Plus my team has been fielding Stef for 40 points each week so ain't much lost.

You have one less rookie then I do so you're tracking pretty well. I have Walla, Smith and Kerridge on field and will cop the donut. Hopefully Currie is back next week and then I feel better about it if Goldy misses again because I won't have wasted the trade and still have my cover. I'll probably gain the 40 points back over those that trade in a West/Gorringe this week and have made an extra upgrade towards finishing off my team.

+1, hoping the other 21 can step it up a little bit for me.

Ringo

Hopefully the other 21 step up a little to cover the loss of points by playing Cox.

Holz

Could have gone campbell but said stuff it and went bennedy to zorko.

Zorko shouldnt lose to campbell bennedy by too much.

Ill make rhe 40ish points up easy

Really looking at Lycett for F6/Ruck cover for the rest of the season.
Only worry is will he play every game? Don't want to trade him in and then they change their structure.
Any opinions appreciated, especially from all you Eagles supporters!

Lycett's JS is rock solid, will only miss if injured or suspended

NicNat is a burst player, no way he could ruck solo.
