Yeah but they should be treated the same if and when they get activated. Until they they’re just that, an emergency that’s not going to play In most instances.

How are they getting activated though ?

22 + medical sub

The other 3 Emergencies are then not required at all , so are just like player 27 - >

Go sit in the stand with a pie and beer

 

[Wheedus]

Geez I hate passing on a player that's locked in to play but I think I'm gonna have to pass on Oliver Henry tonight. As I predicted, that $135k messes with my plans.

Does show good Bergman’s job security is though @PC he doesn’t have one

 

[Darkie]

What are people hoping to have in the bank at final lockout for the weekend or are you spending as much as possible?

50k or so could be really handy for round 3 corrections, I think.

Even if it was 100k, I don’t think I’d be forcing myself to spend it. It’s arguably much better spending it when you have 18 games of additional information.

Aliir Aliir and Fantasia, no rookies yet.

In my A team is 100k and in my B team its 130k but could go down if Powell doesn't get up.

Thinking about trading danger to bont!

I might have missed a previous post - can I check what you mean please @pizza safety?

I have Bergman and need 5 rookies (Cox and below) to play, so I’m very interested!

Don't like him for SC this year.
Benefited a bit last year from scaling and doing some clutch stuff, similar to Butters.
But Bolton already had plenty of mid time last year, and I can only see that going a bit backwards this season with Prestia and Edwards being healthy.
Got plenty of time last night, but Cotch was missing.
Hopefully keeps his DPP for next season.

Thanks mate. I took a punt on him. Spends a good amount of time in the midfield, plenty of CBA’s, around the right age to take it to the next level, etc

Might be one of those annoying picks that doesn’t score bad enough to get traded but a peg below the top tier, which i didn’t expect him to reach anyway but 100 might even a stretch now (based off one game and an 85 no less 😂)

Hardwick was quoted saying he had full body cramp after the game - early in the season but there is a risk he gets found out by the return to longer quarters and less interchanges. Could mean his mid time decreases and he becomes much more "burst".

Full body cramp??? That doesn’t sound especially enjoyable. Hopefully it’s just the an early season thing and not an indication of his fitness/endurance levels.

No worries

The power did debutant jumper presentations and Bergman didn’t get one, so it seems highly likely he’s not playing

Still some chance Bergman gets named

Thanks mate, very helpful.

Might need to take Henry instead, or swing Brockman down and take McNeil in the mids.

Can I ask your thoughts on Heppell while I’m at it please? Had him all preseason, but he’s my “break glass” option if I need cash.

 

[pizza safety]

Based on what Hartlett said today “There’s a strong chance we’ll see Miles in amongst the backline, which is super exciting,”

Heppell I’m off but I can see him working, just not confident he can play that role as well as he did in his first two years, he may well have unlearned it. The AAMI game didn’t show quite enough. That said I won’t be surprised if he does pan out.

Bergman still a chance I’d say now I’ve seen the actual Hartlett quote, I would probably avoid Henry myself if possible and go for a Downie/McNeil type, but up to you

Do you have McNeil ahead of Downie

Lazarro looked alright for a quarter in the aami game, dunno if North have players out who will come in for him in the next few weeks, I think Anderson and Dumont are still out.

 

[Courtesans]

Will probably pick him anyway.

 

[Rumbler]

Lazzaro worth taking? how's his JS like?
I reckon some of the other options could be better
