Fritsch being named for Casey in the VFL should ring alarm bell for those with Ryan, Langdon/Venables on the bench!


I've had to swing Crowden forward and go a week early on Mirra via Finlayson moving to the mids.

Thinking of going:
J. Kelly > Merrett
Brayshaw > Taranto

Not sold on it but don't think i can sit on Kelly at 0-2 in my Head 2 Head league.

VC/C options this week???

I think I'm going to go Heeney into Gawn. Also have Buddy and Laird tonight, but Heeney seems to like playing the Crows and there's not much midfield opposition for him to contend with. If not, Gawn look like he might be fired up to dominate Nank the Tank.

Now do I take the 123???

Flicked the C onto Fyfe 3 mins before the game started. Lucky move!
I debated about going with Coniglio's 116 but thought I needed a boost so decided to roll the dice with Fyfe, too. Glad I did.

I took heeney's score, anything over 120 is good enough. I have fyfe/dusty/tmitch so wont lose out much.
currently 12/1390.
Simmo/Cripps/Cogs/Fyfe/Laird/Doedee/Heeney all arousing.

Made a bit of a mistake with the loophole this week. Had the VC on Fyfe (which is great) and the C on Dusty.

Now here's where it gets tricky... I accidentally put Garlett as my emergency who scored a measly 22 last night. To take Fyfe's score and use the loophole I would have to hope that Fritsch from Melbourne misses, move him onto the field and then put Stephenson onto the bench and accept Garlett's terrible 22.

Not sure if the risk is worth it. Or do I just hope that dusty pulls out a big score!

You will need to add everything up.

If Dusty gets 130 and Stephenson gets 65 = 325
Fyfe + Garlett 302 + 22 = 324

So it is going to be close, that's assuming that Dusty and Stephenson score that much?
Do you gamble on future scores or take money in the bank?

1,551 with Zerret, Oliver, Howe, Dusty, Fritsch, Gawn, Murray and DSmith to come. Captained Danger, took Banfield over Holman. Should get to 2,200 but hoping a few of the boys have a day out to creep close to 2,300....

Sicily referred straight to the tribunal!

Early reports from sen1116 in Melbourne are that he will get at least a week.

Im in a bit of a pickle now with Fritsch out :mad: I have about 200k in the bank.
I was going to originally swap Nank for Grundy, but now Fritsch being dropped means ill have to field Garlett in future weeks which sucks. I have ZGL on the fwd bench too so if he comes back that will solve the problem and I can loophole between him and Garlett. Do I still get Grundy and cop Garlett's score of 21? do I skip Grundy and downgrade Fritsch to Higgins/ Gwelfie both only second game and increase my bank to 300k for maybe a bonner upgrade next week? or option number 3 I don't trade at all o_O

Can we all cross our fingers and hope that there is a late out so that Fritsch plays?

I would say Fritsch is being rested due to the short turnaround. I'd guess that he plays round 6. If you have Garlett on field for him this week then you're losing about 30 points (given Fritschs avg)... is it worth burning a trade just to cover that?

A pickle indeed.

Based on average, Fritsch would be up around $300-325k and you'd be looking to get him out around $250-275k. So, potentially we have at least another $50k to gain from him. You'd think he's still thereabouts and they were just looking to rest him up with the shorter turnaround following this game.

Also, how much more will Higgins/Guelfi score? Potentially either could post 80+, however Higgins I reckon is no guarantee to better the 21. Guelfi more likely to do better. But do either have JS??

Personally I'd be reluctant to trade to either of the 1-game rookies, but if I had to choose one I'd go for Guelfi. High chance of them missing next week and you're in a worse position than now though, so I'd be taking Garlett's score. High chance of me being wrong too!!!

Tend to agree mate, after some more thought leaning that way too:)
