Haha, yep that's a mighty impressive list of defenders haha  :P

geez could i use some mids or forwards though.

I actually only had 4 forwards play last round.

going with 5 premo forwards is a good idea unless one is out indefinitely :(

at least Currie is a beast and can cover my U2. I knew keeping him this long would pay off. Serisouly though trade me some mids. Matt kennedy is a gun but tough to crack into GWS.

Did I see somewhere that we can update our team lists this week as well as leadership groups?

Or was I just imagining that?

There are threads for both.

Yup. I made posts in the places you can, but when I send my PM tonight, I'll direct everyone to the right places.

Just had a MASSIVE roller coaster of emotions.

I was about 40 minutes into my previews, and my F*CKING COMPUTER CRASHED!

I just stared blankly into the screen for about 5 minutes. Absolutely devastated. All that work...

AW shower YEAH GOOGLE CHROME RESTORED MY FANFOOTY POST! That never happens! Proof of divine intervention!

WHOO!

[Hellopplz]

Hallelujah!

After 10 rounds here's a rundown of the unavailability of Christchurch players.

B: Boyd, McVeigh, Reid, Wilson
M: Gibbs, Mitchell, Hartlett, Griffen
R: Sandilands
F: Montagna, Breust, Stringer, McLean
I: Watson, Stevens

Watson - 10 matches
Sandilands - 8
Griffen - 5
Stevens - 3
McVeigh - 3
Reid - 2
Hartlett - 2
Mitchell - 1
Boyd - 1

35 weeks missed from our best XV players. I'm sure there's others out there who have copped it worse. Sandi is our most important player so that 8 weeks hurts a lot. He was subbed off in one of his two games so it's really 9 missed. Losing a 96 averaging Griffen and replacing him with a guy who scores 70 isn't so bad, but having to replace 105 from Sandi with 50's sucks.


Depth injuries/not selected

Minson - 10
Trengove - 10
C. Smith - 10
Anderson - 9
McKernan - 8
Hoskin-Elliott - 8
Neal-Bullen - 8
McKenzie - 8
Vandenberg - 7
McKenna - 6
Blakely - 5
Dickson - 4
Cox - 4
Andrews - 3
Steele - 3
Garlett - 2
Ellis - 1

Some of these guys simply haven't been selected, some have been injured. Guys like WHE, McKernan and Vandenberg have been a combination of both. Trengove has played a lot of VFL and his return is imminent.


Played every game

Gibbs
Montagna
Breust
Stringer
Wilson
McLean
Roughead
GILBERT
Dempster
Lever
Lester

All that's missing from that post is a claim for compensation :P

Christchurch definitely is a unique team in Worlds, and with such depth and now obvious scope for improvement, will be a threat for the premiership, even if it doesn't look like it now IMO

[meow meow]

We won't win the premiership. We'll be eliminated by Mexico City on the back of an inspired Tom Rockliff performance.

Compo you say? Feeling guilty about allowing a then 100 averaging 26 year old elite forward to be swapped for a 29 year old 90 averaging mediocre mid? This year has further proven just how horribly lopsided that trade was. 100 average forward is worth a 110 average mid of the same age, not one averaging just 90 and who is three years older! It's gotten worse since then too. Just let me trade one of my players for someone who's worth at least 20 points more while being three years younger and that's all the compo I'll require.

If you get boomer harvey then you might be able to pull off that trade for say enright.

Haha, brilliant

Please... Enright is the heart and soul of the reindeer backline.

I love Dayne. Will he stay at 'Jing forever? Most probably. Do I feel bad that I nabbed him in a trade I'm clearly winning now? A little bit(not really). I could give you compo at the end of the year but then I'd need compo for the compo.

You've ripped everyone off.
