    Round 10 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Yep. From Sam Edmund - @SammyHeraldSun "Tom McDonald sent for scans on his troublesome foot after failing to get through training. @melbournefc coach Simon Goodwin confident the in-form swingman will play, but admitted it was “worrying” the injury has flared again. Was still sore from win over...

    Round 9 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I'll try to explain how I do it on the web-site. Hover your cursor over Doedee and you'll see "s, t, c, v" appear. Click on the "t". Doedee will be removed from your team and his spot in the back-line will be blank. Move the cursor to Finlayson and hover the cursor again and click on the "s"...

    From Brodie Smith - @Brodiesmith33 "You know you haven't played for a while when you're denied entry to a closed session by one security guard and then once in asked to leave by another"

    No. He is too unreliable. If he were to prove that he could score decently when tagged? Then it would be different.

    Round 9 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I don't necessarily mind Coniglio's bad SC-DT ratio, although as a general rule I will pick a player with a +ve ratio. Rocky and Swanny, not to mention Titch last year, have all got enough of the ball that they still scored well in SC. It should also be noted that for whatever reason Coniglio...

    Round 9 Discussion & Trade Talk

    Coniglio has had 2 sub-100 scores: 93 vs the Lions and 64 vs the Cats. The 93 against the Lions was due to his starting the game in the fwd pocket, spending a fair bit of time at half-back and almost no time as a mid. Against the Cats he also started in the fwd pocket and was moved back to...

    Round 8 Discussion & Trade Talk

    I doubt if there is anything wrong with him. It's simply that while the Tigers continue winning without Dusty having to star Hardwick can continue to play him in the fwds. I won't be bringing him in unless the Tigers start losing.

    Round 8 Discussion & Trade Talk

    In case anyone missed it, the AFL web-site listed the number of late outs each team has had so far this year. It's worth nremembering when organizing your bench so as to avoid a (potential) donut. 8: Geelong 3: Hawthorn 2: Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond, Sydney, WCE 1...

    Trades before round 7

    I don't know about anyone else but I am (im)patiently waiting for my rookies to peak. There is always the worry that there won't be any new rookies to downgrade to when they do peak- but I live in hope,

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

    NBA DT

    I wonder if anyone can tell me a way to get the NBA finals live in Oz without having to have Foxtel or paying a fortune. Simmons is going great guns and from what I read the Sixers-Heat series is what a final series should be. Apparently the Heat can't beat the Sixers on talent so they tried...

    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.

    Yep, But also waiting for Mirra because I have no rookies anywhere near worth trading. All still have cash to make.

    Probably not. When Cogs first started scoring well in SC he was a tagger, or at the least a run-with player, himself.

    You know Biggs was dropped from the side last year due to poor form? Maybe just the hangover but I'd be a little wary.

    2018 Defence Premiums

    Also averaged really well, 100+, on the way home last year. Problem is: Richo likes his defenders to provide defense as well as offense. Savage was dropped last year, from what I have heard, because his defensive side was poor. Also, Richo doesn't necessarily pick out the one player to be the...
