If Parsons gets dropped, I'm copping a donut even after trades now  :'(

I will most likely have a donut but TBH il take it because it will set me up well for the Bye rounds

The only way I can avoid a donut is to trade Parsons to Stewart and Touk to Burton/Lynch etc meaning I miss Myers too

Guess I'll just have to cop the donut on the chin because I'm not doing that

Makes trade easier, ever since seeing him play that debut game I didn't want him in my side.  Gone, let's me hold guys who are actually making $$$.

After all this rookie carnage this season, i think keeping SPP over the byes is a very smart bet
round 14 can upgrade my final middie spot

Was hoping Butler would get dropped before Balic news, cant rely on Parsons on field  :o

Fremantle second-year player Harley Balic has been granted an indefinite leave of absence from the club.

“The club and Harley have agreed that it is in his best long-term interest to take a leave of absence to deal with a personal issue,” General manager of football operations Chris Bond said.

“As we do with all of our players, we will continue to provide Harley with all the support and resources that he requires.

“Harley has acquitted himself well in four games for Fremantle since making his debut in round three this season and we look forward to his future contribution to the club.”

There will be no further comment from the club on this matter.
