Does it affect Sloane? I think a lot of peeps will need to move on a similar (to Wines) priced mid this week. LNeale, Sloane, Goddard on radars?
Surely Rocky is the pick of the bunch in that price bracket for those that don't have him (including me, seeking a replacement for Wines)?

Thinking the same thing but want to be sure Beams going down won't have an effect on him. From memory he didn't score well the other week when Beams didn't play?

Very good point IDIG. Even if it has an effect on his output, surely it won't be big enough to warrant selecting Sloane/Neale/Goddard instead? Sidebottom, Armitage and Lewis are my other options.

He copped the Ben Jacobs tag, who has some very big scalps lately

Some idiots <me> may have already done the Rocky shuffle twice and decided that it is Sloane's turn. More importantly, they may not be able to afford Rocky... :$

Having been burned by each of them once, I can't bring myself to entertain either of them again.

(Don't have Wines, but have Beams, Fyfe, Buddy.)

Good for Boston and Glenn owners:

Gold Coast's midfield stocks have been further depleted with Mitch Hallahan (arm) and Alex Sexton (knee) ruled out for the season.
Hallahan has missed the past two weeks and the club fears another knock would do further damage to his arm.
Sexton was absent from Saturday's draw against West Coast after suffering the knee injury against Adelaide the previous week.

Talented young Bomber Zach Merrett is in doubt for the remainder of 2015 after being sent for scans on an injured foot.
Merrett complained of soreness in his foot after the loss to the Western Bulldogs on Sunday and was sent for an MRI that showed he had a significant stress reaction in his foot.
Club doctor Bruce Reid told the Bombers website if a subsequent scan showed a crack in his foot then Merrett would miss the rest of the season.


Key defender Michael Hurley remains in doubt after missing last week's clash with a minor medial ligament strain in his knee.
"Hopefully he gets up this week," Dr Reid said.

Lol, I remember someone on here was asking about Hurley's injury last week. Last week the Doc said on BomberTV that Hurley was "wait and see". This week in his BomberTV segment the Doc says "Michael really was a fair way off when it came to testing his knee last week, he has got a medial ligament minor in his knee. We'll see how he goes this week, hopefully he will get up this week".

We have been one of the worst at telling the truth when it comes to injuries for as long as I can remember! I can understand - but not agree with - why we would perhaps 'stretch' the truth when we are pushing for a finals spot. But in our current predicament; it's really just taking the ****!

No brainer for me too. Wines/Fyfe/D Smith to Rocky. Not sure which one to get rid of yet. Only one trade left. :eek:

Feels like I've been waiting on the Wines news forever. Busting to know whether I can keep the trade or not!

Beams wasn't there last year and Rocky was a legend. ;)

Nice ranking Bomber considering LTI trades wasted.
Thanks Juzzo! Even worse than the wasted LTI trades was after round 1 when I traded Mumford to Tex Walker. Worst trade decision I have made to date.

Looks like you have been a bit more unfortunate than me! Things just haven't fallen your way this season, and not having popular picks in Goldy, Shaw and Hodge must hurt. Kudos to you if you started (or traded in early) Blicavs and Taylor Adams. Both great picks!

Very bad year BS. Started with Rocky, Ablett, Bartel, Ryder, Sloan, M Johnson, Macrae (who I traded out when he went back to McGoos for 2 weeks, prior to that his scores were dismal), as you said No Goldy, Hodge, Shaw hurts badly. Poor choices down back in B. Smith and N. Haynes. Selwood from day one too, although I put VC on him last week. :).
Still battling away, next year can't come quick enough though. Did I mention I traded out Cripps round 2. :eek:
Only a couple good picks from round 1: Blicavs, Simmo. I traded in Adams last week for Bellend. As I'm on a roll I'll add I traded in S Martin instead of Goldy for a higher price!

I'll stop boring you, before i remember more stuff ups!

Good luck to you in ranking and leagues.
