Will Balta be back in our sides in futures years?
Let that question ring out to the hills

4/390
Played: P Dangerfield, T Kelly, T Atkins, L Baker
Yet to play: H Andrews (Whitfield replacement/new recruit), L Neale (VC), P Cripps (new recruit), T Goldstein, B Smith, R Laird, R Sloane, Z Williams, J Kelly (C), J Lloyd, I Heeney, B Grundy, C Oliver, C Burgess, N Answerth, O Baker, M Hore, W Setterfield.

Assume L Baker score drops out, whilst T Atkins remains with M Hore and 1 other rookie likely to be added so therefore
3/340

Excited about P Cripps 1st game in my side as I was unable to select him last season and also looking forward to H Andrews return as he unfortunately lasted 1/2 a quarter in my side last season. Disappointed with Stocker’s injury which involved him being traded for Gardner as I was hoping to trade him in RD14 if he made a quick 40,000 before his bye and also Baker’s low score will likely mean I might have to wait till RD15 instead of RD14 to grab Dunkley to be rookie-less.

Heading to East Alligator camping, probably no mobile reception so adios - pretty average start with Balta and Baker in my calculations - can drop one at this stage. VC Danger I'll take which is great as I don't like any of the other options as Captain in my team.

Here's hoping all your teams suck this bye round and may you all be blessed with injuries and late outs. :)

Hmmmm so how likely do we think?

I'd need to decide before the Brisbane game so I can swing players around. I'd be going hore to hateley...

Thoughts?
GWS have been quite unreliable with team news this year, so I'd take it with a grain of salt, but I suspect they've been talking up players who were unlikely more than the reverse.

Very subjective, but if the coach is talking about it openly, and Greene didn't train, I'd have a stab at 70%.

Tough to bring in Hately without knowing who to take out for him.

At this stage, if I do it, it'll probably be Libba. But not sure how that will affect my round 14 bye

Depends on the rest of your team, number of trades you have. Myself I see Hore as a potential keeper so I'm not trading him just yet.
I was hoping he might be as well. Hopefully we get an idea of how May and Lever affect his scoring this week, although 1 weeks worth of data isn’t worth a great deal.

If hately is in I am not sure how much trust you can have that he will remain in the team. He Will certainly make you 100k but he will be in and out of the squad and there is a lot of pressure on the kid to perform well. Some clubs will allow one or two bad performances ie Robbie young but GWS seems more ruthless. He is basically an emergency every week. So one bad performance he is out.

Or a couple of injuries/general soreness and he plays.
