Bloody Brodie, tease on and off the field.

 

[Wingemi77]

Yes it happens to most of us, but being unemployed I've managed to avoid those sorts of errors this season. 😬

Sorry to read you are unemployed, thanks for your comment.

More fallout from the Crows camp.
Stand by for selection carnage everyone.

 

[Wingemi77]

Yes , happens to everyone at some stage.

Thanks for your comment Socrates.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

No carnage with these selections so far, hope this continues for the rest of the round.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

BZT back for anyone who has held him.

Had been thinking all week of getting some points on the board because my team is dying the death of a thousand cuts.
Realising I had plenty of time because the game starts at 7.40 or 7.50pm as per normal, tuned in at 7.06pm and began to have heart problems when noticed game starts in 4 mins not 34 mins also my wife was talking to me at the same time - ever tried to make three trades in less than 4 minutes with someone needing an answer to a question! It ain't pretty.
Action stations and in a panic, good news got a rookie, B Smith & Dusty in however Dusty was on the bench!!
Too late for a substitute, no time left - probably his best score all year and I had him on the bench - didn't sleep well thinking how could I be so stupid.
Surely someone else has done this - if you say 'yes' it will make me feel better (or not).

Oh yes, I have had some shockers. Specific examples aren't springing to mind but it happens to the best coaches. It's a part of the game to make a blunder like that.

I am beating myself about trying to ride the English price rises to Gawn rather than just forking out. Because I knew in my head that was the logical option but I thought English could be fun (plus he was coming off a 204). I hate that decision but the fact is I did it so it was never meant to happen any other way.

This week, one of my closest friends and biggest competitors traded in Walters, then to see he is out.

 

[Vicwood]

He might be a better forward than Smith , so that could change his scoring.

If they actually even get their key forwards firing consistently they will be a awesome side , not sure how long Hipwood can keep relying on potential.

Good overhead mark, accurate foot, and can kick em from outside 50. If his endurance has improved, will put him in next week. Looks secure in his role with both Martin and Smith out.
is a big lump of a lad.

 

[BomberSam]

BZT back for anyone who has held him.

This is PERFECT!

 

[Wingemi77]

Just remember that assuming you have cover that it doesn't cost you Dusty's score but the different between Dusty's score and you on-field substitute.

Also you got him much cheaper than the masses will next round.

Yes you're right and having him at a cheaper price does cushion the blow somewhat but not the low feeling that I have at the moment.

 

[BomberSam]

If BZT could just get named it would save me so much hassle.

With Stewart and Draper both talked up for potential selections, definitely cannot see it happening unfortunately.

So happy.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Hibberd out for those who need him this round

 

[BigRuss]

Wonder if BZT can hold his spot. Also wonder in he’s worth the 60k over Ling.

 

[Herbie66]

Doedee OUT

Where are Saturday/Sundays teams and squads

Where are Saturday/Sundays teams and squads

Teams are announced only one day before the games, at 6:20PM.

A reminder that teams are announced 6:20pm the day before the game and confirmed an hour before the first bounce. Interesting and frustrating times ahead.

Also, round 9-12 trades: Maximum of three.

AHHHH STOP IT WITH THE OUTSS

 

[jel]

Is anyone with VC Macrae even remotely considering doing the improbable and risking the C on Gawn this round for the sake of a possible extra 40-50 points. Just asking for a friend!

Assuming your 'friend' has both Macrae & Gawn, to get an extra 40 points Gawn needs to score 202.
To get an extra 50 points, he has to get 212
