That's annoying.... Thanks!

That's annoying.... Thanks!

$517k is still a decent price for someone who looks like they'll go 110 ppg from here.

I'm blaming SCS being down, and the AFLs programming for not getting Dusty this week. He was on my long list, but with a Wednesday game and SCS down during the day I wasn't confident that I had enough info to make the other moves that I'd need.

Still, I'll take my 2/238 start from MacRae and Smith. (With Aarts with the E)

Just awoke from the worst nightmare ever , that the site was down all day 😢

2/173

Bazlenka , TJL

100%, it's just a kick in the teeth doing all this cash gen work only to burn 50k for no good reason.

Now to work out if I trade him to Trac.!? Walters two weeks at least... could end up more with the schedule. Who’s holding?

I'm trading him to Petracca, Freo's injury reporting has been too inconsistent to trust them plus he has had injury concerns in the past. Bit annoying as the week the Melb/Ess game got called off I was trading in Petracca but had to go Walters instead as that's all was left to play.

Also got Pendlebury to trade out as well.

Hard to say mate, I saw the AFL article mentioning this possible scenario but that's pretty much it.
Keep a handy emergency just in case I say.

 

[Herbie66]

I'm hearing Ceglar back this week.

Can't help you on Finn, I hope we'll see him by the end of the year, but who knows.

Impey back for us this week will be massive also. Was playing some seriously good footy until he did he knee last year.

Thanks for that , just rotating players around in my team as I hear news.

Impey will definitely be a massive inclusion.

WA press reporting Walters is ruled out for this week:

wow Darcy Tucker ruled out for the season

That's why I got Walters in too! Except I traded Merrett out, which ended up working for me as he was suspended two weeks later and his scoring wasn't great. But yeah, I'm thinking Walters > Petracca, no bye, killing it... Have also got Doedee to worry about though.

I guess the bonus trades are a pay off for not knowing who's in or out over the course of a round, but it would be nice to use them on upgrades instead of injuries. Anyway:

Dusty, Pickett and Aarts, 3/365 🤩

Thats the kind of start that you want!

No mention of Sam Sturt there either!

 

[Herbie66]

No mention of Sam Sturt there either!

Paragraph on him & Giro further into the article , Sturt a few weeks.

Think they will be missing 8-10 of their Best 22 against the Pies , if we can't win Sunday I might have to become a Crows supporter 😀

Tucker was starting to get some nice numbers together , must have really done a job on his hammy.

 

[Meltingpot38]

Like many was hitting refresh all day as thought it was on my end! Incoming Chaos Period really needs this site.

Had VC on Macrae but didn't think the Tiges would let him hit 150+ so moved it to Gawn..........time will tell if that was a decent move.
Avoided B Smith was going to be a next week target - is he fool's gold?
Will probably take Aart's 75 to fill in for Walters unless he's out for a while - any word on length past this week?

VC on Gawn and C on Neale against bombers who can leak points in the midfield.

Really not what I needed when I had trades locked in....Hamstrings are 21 days right? How many games do Freo play in the next 21 days? Could be 3 or 4 "rounds". May have to trade....

Yep, I'm going to hold for now.
Aarts gave a nice covering score last night, and I was expecting him to miss next round with the bye, so he can wait until Rd11 to see if I need to do something with him.

Can't count how many times during the game last night I went to check SCS and remembered it was down

I was pretty horrified when I saw Pickett's ownership is still 60%+. Really feel like a lone soldier not having him anymore.

That said, sitting at 518/4 from Macrae, Dusty, Smith and Bont isn't too bad. I think if I can afford the extra trade I'll have to shift Bont at some point, just isn't doing enough often enough

 

[McLovin]

I’m seriously considering taking Aarts over Dev Smith instead of Rankine. Rankine seems more likely to ton up 😫

Is their much point moving Bont on now though ? Only 8 games left , getting him to a 110 point player only brings a extra 80 points for the rest of the season.
