Backing him in again personally after how great he was last week, kid is so classy.

 

[Dazza]

Apparently Heppell under an injury cloud, back

 

[randomcliche]

I’ll bite:

1 Andrew Brayshaw
2 Aaron Naughton
3 Jaidyn Stephenson
4 Adam Cerra
5 Cameron Rayner
6 Hunter Clark
7 Luke Davies-Uniacke
8 Nick Coffield
9 Paddy Dow
10 Lachie O’Brien

Don't want to punt any of them? Zac Bailey, Tim Kelly, Charlie Constable, James Worpel, Dylan Moore, Xerri all say hi!

 

[randomcliche]

What’s your logic for holding? Just interested.

2 weeks trade (100pts) hold, three weeks (150 pts) trade. This is about 2.5 weeks as the 135 on Grundy is about 25 pts over my captain threshold atm. This is very line ball.

I'm not convinced the other 3 captain options have particularly good match ups. So I'm good with 110 this week.

Also get a captain for the following two weeks if by some miracle my rookies all hold their spot.

Haha yeah Tim Kelly > the whole pool combined!!!

It doesn't matter because if you did that they would just automatically assume you had no idea and delete your account to save you further misery.

I like this

Buddy would be licking his lips at the silver service coming his way.

Yeah, I was thinking similar re. VC score. Unfortunately (perhaps, who knows in the long term) I put the VC on Cripps instead of Grundy in a 50/50. Thanks for the response.

Even Carlton's best pick was at 30 with Tom De Koning. Way more likely to make it than the 2 top 10 picks.

 

[NT.Thunder]

My 2c on Cripps after watching live last night.

Preseason game v Bombers = plays well and all looks good. Shoulder which was operated on is fine, running well.

Official preseason game v Saints = starts well, slows down, moved forward with McKay off injured and does very little.

Monday after Saints game = goes in for mysterious scan which we never hear the results of. Difficult to get Carlton training info due to Ikon being locked up more tightly than normal due to Covid and the building renovations.

Last night = ok at stoppages with first effort. No power to take off for second or third efforts. Not running well at all. Appears incapable of jumping when forward and thus pretty ineffective. Also, body language suggests frustration, likely due to his inability to impact as he would like.

I don't have a medical degree, but it seems reasonably obvious doesn't it? From a Carlton perspective, I don't understand the need to play him in this condition. He is a liability. Just get Setterfield back in an inside role (useless doing what he was doing last night), or play Kennedy.

From a SC perspective, the question is how bad is it and when will it improve? Doubt we get an honest answer from the club. Teague is talking utter nonsense if he thinks Cripps has looked useful up forward.

Without making it sound like I'm an idiot, can you explain it to this idiot?

Still holding Danger, have Grundy VC and at this stage Danger my only donut.

Was planning on trading him to Dunkley all week until today, think I will stick with it given my mid and fwd benches scored at an average of about 40 last week

The afl app is horrible, can't copy and paste from my mobile, probably can get done via desktop if anyone can.

[Lost In The Sky]

WCE news, from the airport:-

Dan Venables traveling with team, not playing.

Jack Petruccelle won’t play. Omitted.

Ah Chee and Jones the inclusions.

Happy Petruccelle is out... Doesn't bring a whole lot to the team.

Ah Chee the perfect sub for us.
