Hall, Barlow, Lids, McVeigh all injured. Jansen and Menadue dropped. Lets hope our premos give us some decent scores to ease the pain.

Kangas and Pies kick off the round in what hopefully will be a cracking game.

It really has been one out of the box this year.
I hope that your Kangas can get over the line Dino.
Sorry Dino. I hope they get up for you but honestly I would like to see the Pies get up. Makes for a much more interesting end to the season if the 8 isn't locked in.

Im not overly confident fellas. Just hope we have a crack and put up a gutsy effort which we have lacked.

Daniel Wells has just left the pregame warmup with 2 physios... Possible late out.

Thankfully he is playing but not sure for how long. Having trouble breathing.

Some of the umpiring in this game has been horrible at best.
And bloody Thomas is Norths answer the Ballantyne.
I think he's taken Ballantynes mantle overall. Ballantyne is much harder to despise when he's not getting a touch and Freo can't win.

Good to see the Pies go down.
Wells although had a quiet 3rd looked like he had no ill effects of what ever was troubling him, great for those that held him.

Any word on the length of Lids' injury?
It was 1 week due to tightness. The rumour is that he may miss next week as well as they play in Canberra so why risk it? This is the last time I ever go near him so he's staying with me just for old times sake.

Cheers, guess it's a hold then, 2 weeks I can deal with.

If you're looking really solid consistent Adelaide's Tom Lynch could be worth a punt, I probably still prefer buddy but Lynch has a pretty high ceiling too, he is definitely the type to cash in against Essendon, Brisbane and Freo in the next 3 weeks does have the Derby in the SCGFs though.

Thunk I might watch him for the game this week against Geelong and jump on next week.

Anyone end up bringing in Lynch of the Gold Coast variety?

I did weeks ago and haven't regretted it for a second. He was probably the pick of the sub-$500k forward options this week. I'm sure people didn't pick him because of his $462k price tag and because he's a key forward. But, that's actually cheaper than he was to start the year and he's in great form. Only 1 tough opponent in Phil Davis over the last few weeks too.

Take the 130 from Gawn as VC or roll the DangerDice?
