    So he is a trade straight back out I presume ... oh well. Easy come, easy go.

    Round 9 Trades

    You've got something against McPherson? Seems like a good enough downgrade IMO. If you don't like him surely you have a ripe backline rookie you could turn into Brand for cash. I have about four backline rookies who a close to cooked ... just don't have enough trades per week to cull them at the...

    Round 9 Trades

    My thoughts - I think I prefer the Priddis option. I don't understand why it means going early on Hopper. If Lewis has been OK the last couple of weeks it has been without Hodge and with Mitchell being rested. Lewis was a big disappointment to his owners last year. Tread carefully.

    Round 9 Trades

    I wouldn't trade just because he might drop a couple of dollars in value. If there is someone who you want to get in who will be a clear cut improvement to your side - like if sacrificing Seedy lets you get Shaw - then OK. Don't just get rid of him for the sake of it unless there is someone...

    Rookies 2016

    I'm going MacPherson but The Donkey was fairly bullish on Brand on the podcast. Worth a punt if he fits your structures.

    Round 9 Trades

    I'd probably go Papley to MacPherson via DPP to put some money in the bank ... and I know the boys on the Podcast said Barlow was a hold but with Barlow, Wells, and Hall all out this week I think he is probably a trade. Turn him into your favourite available forward line primo. I'm going...

    Round 9 Trades

    In going Tags this week and Pridda next week if that is any help - based completely on their break evens. I'm letting the other two run against me but you can probably make a case for Neale ... not for me at the price however.

    Round 9 Captaincy

    Well, yes ... I would certainly class 159 as "high" and 138 as a very solid captaincy score. Obviously I hadn't actually gone and looked up those numbers. I was more basing it on a feel that Parker puts in more high scores but also more really low scores where as Hanners seems to very...

    Round 9 Captaincy

    Doesn't seem clear cut to me this week. I'm thinking of putting the "C" on Goldy vs Carlton as Kruz is out is probably safe enough. Lots of choices fro VC: Hanners vs Hawks - solid choice but doesn't have a really high ceiling Parker vs Hawks - might be worth a risk as can go big Pendles...

    Round 9 Trades

    Definitely on my radar. Probably Monty this week and Pridda next week for me I think.

    David Mundy POD??

    I think we just established over on the heat maps thread that he's playing more behind the ball. Not exactly what you want from the guy you're looking to put in your mids. Now ... if you're looking for the Freo player who is going to have some more midfield time ... according to Ross Lyin the...

    Injuries/Late outs

    Reports that Roughy has been diagnosed with a recurrence of his melanoma. Very hard news for the young man. Thoughts with him and his family.

    Round 8 Discussion

    I probably talked you out of him. I was so disappointed in him last year that I had him all that time and he failed to come on ... only one thing worse that a player being disappointing for you ... when they come out the next year and star for someone else.

    Papley and Mitch Brown on field. Doesn't feel great.

    Round 8 trades

    I've taken Danger's score but I was thinking about this in case Danger failed. I have Parker, Hanners, and Goldy (also Pendles) and I was going to put the C on Hanners. High ceiling is good for the VC but if your going for a C you want someone your pretty sure won't go low: Hanners. That said...

    Round 8 trades

    I think there were only six weeks last year when Rance was price over 500K (weeks 3,4,5 and then again at weeks 16,17,18) and last year his highest price was 524K and lowest price was 401K. Based on that you'd think he has to drop under the 500K mark at some stage? Surely? I'd like to put him...
