Wow. Dodged a bullet by not being able to afford him in a straight swap upgrade.
Trade away fellas.

And I was insanely close to using my last trade on Witts to Ryder. Thankfully I showed restraint

Witts, Jelwood and Witherden, plus other spuds

I'm Flowered

Glad I did not burn my last two trades then.

Jelly to any mid is gonna bug my all week... all these options... plus Grundy to deal with, lucky I've saved trades  :-\

I'm going with Neale as my Jelwood replacement.. only in 11% of teams and can go very large

Witherden will be in extreme doubt for this week with Hamstring

With Qclash this weekend Suns are also reported to giving strong consideration to Witts - "Marcus Ashcroft said Witts would need surgery but if medical advice said he could play without inflicting any further damage he would be considered"
So we await teams for those with Witts but we have seen the effect of shoulders pn players though.

Aaron Hall definitely unavailable though.

JUST IN | Brian Waldron is reporting that Suns co-skipper Tom Lynch injured his PCL on the weekend and is done for the season.

So possibly another one to add to this weeks carnage.

Full update on Witherden coming later today.

Tom Lynch 100% done for year at GC .. injured PCL, bad news continues from up north ...

Full update on Witherden coming later today.

Will be surprised if he gets up though. Hamstrings take a while,

True, though it could've just been precautionary. Looked like a cramp at first.


In other news:

We have decided not to contest the one match ban handed to midfielder Zach Merrett.

Any chance of JPK playing this week?    With Tom Lynch GC out I am dependant on bolton and bayok in fwds and  jelwood, cousins and jpk in mids.   No ruck cover but ryder as f2.     Chocolate donut coming up.....

Been trying to find some more info on this one but so far have not been succesful.  Will add to the carnage for some if true.
