The sandman trade

"Johnny! Johnny!!! JOOOOOOHHHHHHNY!!!!!!"

Seriously, with Sandy out, not sure who to trade in.... Not the kind of downgrade I was hoping to have to deal with....

What do you think guys? Petrie? Downgrade to Zac Smith and grab some extra cash? I don't need the MPP, I've already got tons of them... at this stage I really just need a reliable TOG replacement for 2nd ruck.

panic much?

Botak · May 23, 2011, 04:40:20 PM

Yeah well that's possibly my fault... I disregarded the need to actively swap in a 3rd ruck who may actually need consistent TOG this year and went with the older DT philosophy of using the Ruck Bench as pure Cash Cow material that would otherwise rarely see the light of day.... paying for that now.

As a non sandi owner I just back and say ahhh. But really for most sandi owners it shouldn't be an issue bc you should have adequate back up in zac smith so you should be able to carry him

"Uuuuuuh Yeahh....." </homer not actually finding bathroom>

finally a reason for not having him
tho really kinda annoyed that I picked him up in Supercoach for Jamar
I think my SC team is cursed, I picked up Jobe Watson and that weekend he does his hammy, I pick up Sandi and that weekend he gets turf toe lol
sorry for that guys

Just wait it out.

4 weeks and with Z.Smith looking solid it shouldn't be too bad.....

Same goes if you've got the Petrie swap. Sandi should be well and truly back & firing by the time DT finals roll along.

Sucks, but i think i'l just keep him. Zac smith looks a capable sub for the next 4 weeks considering his 4 prior scores

Not a big deal surely.... If you have any idea Zac Smith would be your 3rd ruckman and if not I would imagine your team has more issues than Sandi being out for 4 weeks!!

Footy God · May 23, 2011, 08:00:58 PM

As we know Sandi is going to miss 5 more weeks of the year. He misses 4 then has a bye.

I have Smith as my backup. 4th ruck Derickx.1st ruck Cox.

Is it worth downgrading Sandi-Bailey, Pocket 300k, play Smith for the rest of the year (has no more byes).

Ami I crazy?

Windigo · May 23, 2011, 08:04:21 PM

I already have bailey and I don't think I'm game to go hunting for a replacement for Sandi....

Chelskiman · May 23, 2011, 08:04:46 PM

I think you are panicking for nothing. It said Sandi will miss four, but he could be back earlier. Until then Smith can fill the void.
