North Melb.
Not surprised it is weeks. Most hamstring injuries are...

Been trading hard so far and I might need to hold. Potentially 3-4 0's is a bit hard to cop though. :(
I would definitely trade if you're looking at a string of zeros.

Surely you have a stack of rucks ready to go (or trade in)... Xerri, Hayes, Preuss, S Hayes, Strnadica, Gawn/Grundy etc. ?

Cripps, Hall, English gee I love SC
Probably not what you want to hear but:

Games Played
Cripps: 20, 17, 20, 22, 15, 21, 20, 3 = 8 seasons
Hall: 20, 15, 6, 6, 19, 17, 15, 16, 22, 8 = 10 seasons
English: 18, 17, 19, 7, 2 = 5 Seasons

You selected injury prone players.
Collectively these three have played 4 full seasons out of 23.

Maybe next year prioritise picking guys who are more likely to play the full season?

Actually never started any of them due to these concerns. Went Whitfield to Hall and Gawn to English weeks ago. As you no once the season starts these concerns go out the window sometimes if a player is dominating and suck you in. So in trading Whitty/Gawn has cost me 4 trades, but thats SC and I'll wear it.

Last year I was adamant that Hall was going to get injured so I watched on while he scored 100 after 100. Didn't start him this year either but then saw that Whitfield didn't start with a bang so thought what the hell & jumped on to get 2 scores in the 70's and a hammy to boot!

Franklin is back, so that could mean more mid time for Heeney.
I’m a big Heeney fan, but I think I’ve missed him this year.

Should have started him over the crowd favourite in Butters, but caved. Now he’s more expensive and shares a bye with many of the players I have. Might be a round 14 in, but I’m going to forget him for a bit.

**cries**

ACL.
Really wasn't much to it. Pulled up short. Got to man the mark a few seconds later, and as he stopped grabbed his knee.
Didn't look a lot in it, but at the moment, 12 months out.
Gee that’s unlucky for a player who was just in the process of grabbing a hard-earned chance. Hopefully the Saints have seen enough that he becomes part of the post-Ryder plan.

Ratten in his Presser said the Saints see Hayes as having a long term future at the Club, so hopefully they stick to that.

This game can be a cruel mistress.

Pick Whitfield who is similar and refuses to get hurt so I can just end the misery.

Can play the same game with the like of Heeney, Docherty, Sicily, Green, De Goey, Gresham or Treloar types with similar records/concerns and look like either a genius or clown :)

Or you can just be like me and change from Sicily and Crisp to Whitfield and Ridley at the last minute and cook your season that way :LOL:
