    Round 9 Discussion

    I ditched Barlow too but no regrets. He might play 2 or 12 games for the rest of the year and even then, Ross is likely to drop him in a forward pocket to play a defensive role. It was the right call to make. If Freo were a top 8 side, he plays every week. But they're not which means you can't...

    Outstanding work Dino!! Huge risk but massive reward.

    There will be a lot of bad scores this week. Most of the captain choices failed miserably. Anything around 2100 should be ok I think.

    Long term it's the right call. What's your ranking?

    Yeah look about that... Who would have thought West would have such an impact??

    Round 9 Captaincy

    I was close to going the other way around and changing from Danger to Goldy. If I did, Danger would've scored 150 and Goldy would've done a knee. I've got my captain right only once this year. Its painful.

    I saw a tweet that Barlows game was 200SC too. Still not best 22. Clearly Freo are a class above this year. Tough team to break into.

    That would be me. Wish someone hadnt made me correct it and I'd left Danger vc and Hanners C! Haha

    Round 9 Discussion

    Hewett was great tonight. I thought he was getting ripped off early in the scoring but definitely happy with an 80. Loophole activated! Wish Hanners had a cleaner game. He was everywhere and did some great things but turned it over so much. Sidenote : how good is it as a neutral watching Buddy...

    Round 9 Trades

    Yeah I'm holding my second trade too. Have gone Papley to Montagna with my first. Waiting on Barlow. If he isn't a late in then he will become Zorko. So lucky to have doubled down last week otherwise I would've had no cash to play with.

    Round 9 Trades

    Yep. Just a bit. He migh be "underperforming" but you have to take it all in context. He was averaging 104 over the first 3 rounds after playing West Coast (Nicnat), North (Goldy) and Geelong (Stanley/Smith). He then was on 63 before half time against Gold Coast before Steven May screwed us all...

    I don't want to! The round hasn't even started yet and it's already crap.

    Injuries/Late outs

    Bartel copped a head knock at training yesterday and needed a couple of stitches. He was still named and the club says he will play. He has a history of concussions though...

    Bye Rounds

    I wasnt sold on Priddis but 4 weeks ago I said the same about Pendles. If I didn't have forward line donuts to cover this week, Priddis would have been a 90% chance to come into my side. Pendles will come down again at some stage I think.

    That's definitely what I meant. Clearly having a great season :confused:

    Bye Rounds

    Could you split it this week with 1 from each of the first 2 weeks and then plan to bring in your other first week player you have your eye on after his bye? (does that make sense?)

    Bye Rounds

    If you have the choice, prioritise rookies from the 3rd week. By the time their bye comes around they should be ready to cull, and in an ideal world, you bring in either 2 premos or go 1 up and 1 down from teams that have already had their bye. You're missing a heap of premos in that last week...

    Danger into Hanners. 120 rule to apply until further notice.

    Yeah if wells misses again next week then he might end up going too. I just can't trust Ross. I don't care if Barlow plays every game for the year from next week. I just won't go near a Ross Lyon side again unless it's a fit Fyfe.
