With the likes of Heppell, Hartlett, Henderson and possibly Hanley (thank god another h hibberd isn't lol) out for the year, we are looking for decent replacements.

The likes of duffield, hibberd and murphy have all been floated as possible candidates but I reckon I've found the best option of the lot - birchall.

Is very cheap, valued at 317k and is second game back from injury (which they often say is the hardest). He plays collingwood and sydney in the last 2. But, he showed what he's capable of in the first 4 weeks of the season, scoring well over 100 each week. He will be very unique having burnt many owners and been out for 7 weeks, but I'm jumping on. He scored 80s against the pies and the swans earlier this year, a scores I'd definitely take. I'm getting on - who's with me?

I forget about Birch. :o I really like him as well, might take him over Bob Murphy now.

No for me.

Apart from those 3 I have Goddard, duffield and Gibbs.

I'm looking at Houli and Ellis to come in (was wanting Hendo a lot). Otherwise ill go safer with enright

pommyadam

not convinced here
sure he started the season well
but his last 2 games are against North (the 80 immediately after his 4 tons to open the year with) and Sydney (had 81 on, and it'll be a tight game as well)

Mr.Craig

This saviour better have an omnipresence that allows him to fill multiple positions at once.

The Hammer is bludy gonna kill me at the wrong end! More so in SC cos have trades in DT :P

A plus for birch is that with only 2 games left in the season, it's less likely he'll put in any game winning performances and receive a forward tag. I,e he might be back under the tagging radar for round 22 at least

Danyle Pearce...that is all...
That is who i went for Heppel. Could still change to Birchall though, I guess.
