Are you looking at a donut or two? Or have you got lucky this week with players coming back in? Post all about how it affects you!




Me personally, I'm looking at a donut in the FWD line if I downgrade Treloar to Miles, as I have Couch, Franklin and Sidebottom out. Miles is a great scorer - proven by his 89 and 94 in two games - and his JS towards the end of the year should be pretty good. Frees up a lot of cash - $210K to be precise - for my last two upgrades with my last two trades. However, getting him will cost me a donut this week, and leave me with 2 trades for the run home.... What should I do?

Darley and Shaw's no-show equals my defence relying on Hargrave to play,

Robbo, Buddy, Sidebottom and Crozier. Enough said >:(

I haven't had one since Rd 5!!!


I'll have 22 if Redden plays, with a full mid bench :D First time i'm glad Sidebottom isn't in my team....

[Spinking]

Bit frustrating having 3 fwd premos out, but I'm actually happy because I've got reasonable cover and a few trades I can use. Might be an opportunity to jump up the rankings a bit.

[Tominator]

Was really hoping Buddy played this week but I guess that'll just have to be next week I hope

GWS' mass-changes again do not surprise me; Sheeds will give as many guys a go as possible cos there are some very tired teenage legs in that team; will not wanna burn them out. Hopefully that means Miles can play a lot more; he is a ball-magnet and I'm really considering getting him as my final downgrade.

Oh and Alex Fasolo said on Before The Game that the boys who aren't in this week - O'Brien, Sidebottom, Jolly, Thomas - were just really sore and needed a week off so my theory is that Collingwood just rested them and I reckon all four will be back next week for sure :)

[rider]

buddy always said he'd be back for rd 19, so fingers crossed he is...

my carnage: shaw, darley, broughton, buddy, sidey, robbinso, murdoc? = 2-3 donuts and no cover!

I have not had my best 22 on the park since rd 8. Infact the only rounds i have had my best 22 available for selection are rd 1, 7 & 8.
Otherwise 1-3 of these guys where out:
Mumford (Inj), JMac (Sus), H Shaw (Inj), Cog (Inj), Ablet (Inj), Sandi (Inj), Swan (Inj), Hargrave (Inj/Drop), Hep (Inj), Pendle (Inj), Chappy (Inj), God (Sus), Martin (Sus), Buddy (Inj), Brought (Inj/Drop)
Surprisingly 10 of them are still in my team.

[Justin Bieber]

Hey Tom why do you have Kennedy (GWS) as Ill? Isn't he named as Emg??

Also flower Robbo, Buddy and Sidebottom you useless pricks.

[Tominator]

is he? I saw him on the AFL website as just 'ill' but I see you are right.. must've got over that now


Sunday Teams are in and once again no bloody Hargrave.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Docherty on the extended bench fingers crossed he isn't selected.

No donuts for me  ;D. Christensen and Adams come in nicely this week as cover for Buddy and Sidey, and I even have not one but two bench players actually playing   :o
