"Patrick Dangerfield won't play on Sunday. He and coach Chris Scott both completely agreeing it wasn't worth risking. He will play Easter Monday v Hawthorn."

Well there you go....

I'm shocked is that the first time Scott has ever made it easy  ;D

Don't know what to do, hopefully Holman puts up a decent score.

Or just pick Gaz or Jelwood & hold cash.

Will be Gaz for me and hold the cash for Danger. Might even Danger watch week 2....

Hoping cognilio makes heaps of cash danger loses and straight swap

[Marty101]

Hopefully there are quite a few who start Danger with the intent he misses a week on that statement and the 1 week out turns into 2 or 3.

I can guarantee that if Coniglio is making cash (Say averaging 105) and Dangerfield is going 120 you will NOT make the trade at the expense of an up/down.


If you don't pick Dangerfield you are only getting him if one of your starting premiums is a failure like Hanners, Steven were last season (and no one will admit to that before Round 1), or you have to save up the cash and upgrade to him like everyone else which will require an extra downgrade compared to upgrading to all other premiums. Even the excuse of banking cash does not work because 100% that money will be used up elsewhere before wanting to trade in Dangerfield.

Theo Doropoulos @TheoDrop
Adelaide’s Tom Lynch won’t take any later flight to Melbourne today - he definitely will not play in tomorrow night’s round one clash with Essendon.

I believe we will be:

Brown, Talia, Doedee
Laird, Hartigan, Kelly
Atkins, Sloane, Seedsman
Hampton, McGovern, Murphy
Betts, Jenkins, Fogarty
Jacobs, MCrouch, Gibbs
Douglas, CEY, Gibson, Mackay

EMG: Otten (Could play infront of Murphy but that would be the stupidest decision since we played Otten over Milera in the GF).

Hmmmm, Murphy playing would certainly make things difficult.

[jfitty]

Hmmmm, Murphy playing would certainly make things difficult.

If Murphy doesn't play past round one it would make it even more difficult haha ???

[kilbluff1985]

nothing on Hanners yet?

[eaglesman]

All I need to see is lobb named and I’m locked in earlier than I ever have been before haha

[Gandalf123]

nothing on Hanners yet?

I’ll be surprised if he plays

[Bully]

Yeah, his selection comes with risk.

[AaronKirk]

Gold Coast have confirmed Holman (along with Weller and Young) will play their first game for the Suns as per their release on twitter.
