Deledio saying after the game that he'd tweaked his calf so he came off early as a precaution. Think he'll likely miss 1 week for that early game bump.

Interesting discussion on those with E on McIntosh, I'm in the same situation.

Not sure if I will change my team to bring in a floating donut yet, particularly as I also have Lids to deal with.

Anyway, while disappointed with my players tonight, have to remember its just one game. Some interesting decisions to make by Saturday.

Geez, I dunno. Right in the head, I reckon he'll get 3 weeks easy.

Also, to those who were toying with Docherty at one point or another, I wouldn't get too concerned about falling behind. His ownership percentage is only 0.66%.

No Martin for the win, never been a 100+ player and never will be :)

Yeah great call. The kid isn't even 24 and averaged 98.9 in 2011 (22 games), 101.8 in 2013 (22 games) and 99.5 in 2014 (21 games).

Yep, please see edit before your post :)

Anyway, we'll wait and see... probably another year where he hovers around the top 10 - 15 forwards. If he escapes the tag and is allowed to run free then he can do well, but too often he'll be locked out of games unable to break tags. Doesn't seem to have the strength of character to rise to the next level I don't think, might be proven wrong, just my impression of him from his off-field actions, talks and interviews. We'll revisit his scores in a few weeks :)

As panicked as I feel and disappointed that Docherty was a walk up start until 2 weeks ago.....I have to remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. Stay calm SCS'ers. We'll be okay!

I'm actually quite happy as was going to do a sneaky Murphy or Cotchin trade in... Also was going to do a sneaky Martin(vc)..

Nice work on McIntosh...LOL

So all those with McIntosh as an emergency like myself, what's your plan?

Going to try to get his score, and if so how?

Or just going to suck it up and miss out on his score this week?

For me I have Saad on field with Oxley and McIntosh on the bench. I feel as though Oxley may miss a few games or get dropped so I brought in Hamling for this week, put him on field and Saad on the bench hopeing Hamling would get named soon. Now lets hope Saad doesn't come out and score 120 :rolleyes:

Someone please tell me that Brynes will get a game sometime this year....
He will be but not playing round one was a bit tricky to still keep him in your SC team.
I had him in the night before Geelong played Carlton in last NAB Cup game. It was my first genuine look at what rookies looked him being there for round one that weekend. After the game was very happy to have good intentions of keeping him as there did not appear too many defense rookies showing up but once he was not named for round one I was not willing to keep. If he plays at a time that does not help me in SC then not much point. But he will play for Carlton in games this season for sure. Malthouse is only one who really knows when.

I'm 50/50 atm. I have been going through a few ideas in the last hour, like a floating donut or trying to pick a player who is not playing this week but should shortly.

Anyway I suppose this will pre occupy my thoughts tomorrow.

Just got back from neighbours having a couple Easter beers, opened Footy Info app and saw Dusty on 149 SC points. You bloody beauty!!! I've got the VC on him. Then realised it was from a previous NAB game, bugger.
Just reading this. Gave me a good laugh after **** poor game for me to go watch.
