Potential doughnut... who to get rid of

Nails · May 12, 2011, 07:48:11 PM

Backs: Delids, Heppell, Enright, Grimes, Fisher, Stanley, Lower (Gibbs, Toy, Puopolo)

Mids: Redden, Rockliff, Pendles, Foley, Swan, Goddard (Hibberd, Harris, Irons)

Rucks: Cox, Z. Smith (Vickery, L. Keeffe)

Forwards: Franklin, Johnson, Goodes, Knights, N. Voldt, Tapscott, Petrie (Higgins, Matera, Dixon)

16 trades and 20.2k.

Bold = definitely out. Italics = emg or extended bench.

I'm considering Grimes > Jacobs... Gives me someone definitely playing in backline and covers any potential doughnuts in backline.

And then my question is... should I go... a playing player in Foley > Any midfielder I want or Harris > Mundy/Mitchell

wtf the tag bolds as well :o

why is puopolo definitely out?

I'm keen on the Grimes > Jacobs trade as it will give you cover. Not sure if I'd be trading out a Foley this week with 16 trades left at the moment.

Harris has the bye next week so he should be right for Rd 11. He has plenty cash still to make. To early to trade him.

Wait on Puo, he might play as the sub.

Suckling & Hale are the obvious ins.

As I said in another post, Puo was by no means the worst on ground. I still think that Whitecross would go before Puo would......

13 touches for a 3rd year player vs a first gamer who had 15.....Hope Puo plays. :'(

He's not... the italics tag bolds instead of italicises :(

I'm ranked 22k and going for rankings... need to get my team set up ASAP.

Think I might leave myself ~8 trades for the last 9-10 rounds

Plus I play my best mate for our 2nd of 4 match ups in our leagues this year

I was 5-0 against him start of this season, he got his first victory against me this year... I need to upgrade to destroy him!

I still think that the hawks will go in with only the 2 changes. Sucker & Hale. Savage to be dropped....

Savage has had his chance and I reckon they should give Puo a trundle. :P

dont get rid of foley if he is playing sure up one of your spots ie, mids get rid of a non playing player

Yeah, going to downgrade Grimes anyway though... which guarantees me Jacobs... It'll just be a question do I start Jacobs or Puop I think. No doughnut if I out Grimes I think...

Hmmm, got to beat my mate :(

Leaves only Harris to get rid of...

Hmmm, has money still to Rise, but I'm not sure :( I must upgrade somewhere!

Windigo · May 12, 2011, 08:20:28 PM

I'm quietly confident that Puo will play.

Thing is I'm away every friday night, so I never get to see the final teams.....I would on my phone, but the teams never load.... :P

Nails · May 12, 2011, 11:55:16 PM

Why couldn't we get 5 bench players in each spot this year :'(

Savage had his chance???? He was on the ground for 7 mins and scored 2 goals and 30 DT points!
Granted it was junktime and everyone else had packed it in for the night but that's all the had to work with!

I'd be annoyed if he was dropped after that hey I need him to make some more cash so I can downgrade him for some coinage.

He had 8 disposals in a full game a couple of weeks back.....
