So much conjecture purely because there was only 5 seconds left. No, he didn't try to get rid of it. He also got tackled as soon as he took possession and held it for all of two seconds before it was stripped. If you want that paid as holding the ball for the other 100 minutes of every game of every round, against your team, you are crazy. Tex walkers mark was also not a mark. He dropped it before his feet even touched the ground.
Yeah, agree, Tex a little lucky on that mark although his arm appears to be pulled as he came down. That wasn't the incident I meant, thinking of the one where he took his eyes off the ball and infringed against Gibson, didn't think there was much infringing that occurred and Gibson lost his balance.

Either way, great game and both sides deserved to win. Hawks hand balling in tight situations post half time were the key difference, clean hands and no fumbles at critical times. Some huge marks by Adelaide fwds kept them in the game.

Have the final teams for the Ess v Coll been announced yet ?
Just noticed I wont have a Capt loophole if Grimley gets a gig.
Have Adamson and Davis, but they play early games.

Remember Cox is American, and has never played a game. Grimley averaged about 30 in NAB. Take Jacobs every day of the week, unless you can do something fancy with trading in another premium.
I wouldnt go out of my way to correct it and waste a trade. Talk of cloke being dropped. Cox sneaks in two goals and some hit outs and he wont lose that much. Even if he gets a 35 its only a 40 point loss.

Cheers Zim.
Will need a C/VC re-think. Word is that Grimley will play. Can't risk it.
Have got Gresham also, he would of worked but he's in my trade plans. Maybe have to have a trade re-think.

Sloane was huge on the night and score should be higher than 103. Laird also bigger impact than 79 although he had several smothers off his kicks, don't know if that costs him points or not

I hope this has worked, will know when I submit.

Thanks THCLT, Zim, Footyrulz for your replies.

So without panic trading it seems that if both play keep Cox R2, if only one plays put the non player at R2 and keep sauces enormous 75.

I have no cover in the mids if JPK is withdrawn today but can trade out Davis or Oliver to get one of the def bubble boys by swinging a D/M to the mids.

When will the final sides be announced?
