Boyd

[wrangle]

Need some help with how emergencies work...firsttimer:)

I have Boyd and Ball in my midfield.  Boyd has been named by the Dogs as an emergency.  If I leave Boyd on the field and name Ball as my emergency do I get a donut if Boyd is not named in final side or will I score Ball for the round?

Sorry if simple question...thanks!

If Boyd doesn't get on field, he'll be replaced with ball's score.

Why is ball even on bench to begin with? Not paying that much to be parked on the bench.

You will get Ball's score and he should be starting anyway.

Yep its a toss up between him and Trengrove.  My other mids are Swan, Boyd, Selwood,del Santo and Barlow, all of whom I put before Ball. 

Tossup with Ball ave 79.2 and Trengrove ave 77.8.  Punting on Trengrove being at start of purple patch with a few games under his belt and playing North, and Ball's TOG not helping.  For an ave points difference of 1.4 its just really a gut call don't you reckon?

If thats how your gut feeling is. I try not to play rookies over proven guys but if you think Trengove can outscore Ball, Hope it works out for you :)

Could be a good punt. I'd play Ball over Trengrove though personnally. Definately worth starting Boyd though and having Trengrove as Emg.

Got a feeling Gia might miss this week.

Wow, I don't have him but interesting call.  what's the basis of your feeling?

[Bluke]

Rib injury sustained in last weeks game and the fact Boyd is named as Emg. Keeps the Saints guessing.

(I have Gia, so obviously want him to play)

Yep, thanks Bluke just read the other posts.

My feeling is that one of Hargrave (most likely) or Gia won't play and Boyd will.

Boyd is a resilient, tough guy and the more likely it is that one of them doesn't play means it is more likely that Boyd will.

If the Dogs had the luxury of a full list AND an easy game they might give Boydy another week.  Its a crunch week for the Dogs, psychologically as much as anything.

Boyd has been ruled out for tomorrow nights game

I wouldnt take him off the field. At worst make sure you got a bench emerg, just in case Boyd (named on emergency list) is a late call up. Here's hoping so
