WHY DID I
DROP
WINES
FOR
GRAY
why
WHY
Gray will still ton up and is (in my opinion) a must have in the forward line.

I dropped Wines for that useless, taggable, narrow-eyed freak Griffen. :rolleyes:

Round 1 and all that, Griffen should still come good, but bloody annoying.

Apart from Geary, Hunt and (to a lesser extent because he's a bit more expensive and unique) Savage, is there any midprice defender that has actually done well so far?

Goodes, Henderson, Ibbotson, Pearce, Jacksh, Macmillian all been average or poor. Lumumba and Newnes also well below average as midprice/premium tweener picks.

I only went with the 1 midpricer but there will be quite a few coaches with 2 or 3 of the above in their backline. Hopefully they pick things up.

Hey guys. Just home now. Been a dreadful week. A good mate of mine lost his battle with cancer on Monday, rippin bloke, played in a flag under Trevor Barker for Sandi. Busy with arrangements and straight after the funeral, had to go head off for Easter for a family get together. (no phone reception where we went)
After months of planning, never got a chance to finish off my team. Still have a fair structure, but could of been a little better.
Sitting at around 1870 with Fyfe and Clark's score yet to play. Fingers crossed that these lads turn it on.
Dusty, Hibberd, Newnes and Salem would want to lift next week.

I have Dylan Roberton, despite being subbed nearly tonned up. He and Geary got the points Newnes should have got if the experts were right (in this round at least).

Had a feeling Hibberd would start slow. Just needs a couple of games under his belt.

Jaksch played with broken ribs in that game so he could be excused but yeh the mid-pricers back there have been pretty bad. Lack of rookies probably forced everyones' hand though.

Mid prices rarely succeed. Premiums havnt been all that flash either

Many thanks mate. Was a fantastic send off and we did raise a few glasses for him.
