Agree - was thinking about that last night, if Ablett is out for an extended period it will add an element of skill/luck with vice/captain choices. Will people be willing to gamble if they have a 100-120 score from their vice.
Luckily Collingwood play in the last or 2nd last game for the next 4 weeks.

Nice the Gazza shaking things up, so not so predictable end to season for those still in running. Those that went hard early and very agressive in trading that helped them get high rankings now could be in for a fall if only got 1or 2 trades left right now. Maybe one or two coaches in top ten could even be in that position. Suspect most had 4 or 5 trades left or maybe more.
Agree. On sheer team, it looks unbeatable. From here though, no. trades left and what it down with GAJ will be huge.
Maybe the leader saves a trade and uses Miles --- not a bad option if GAJ is only out for 3 weeks. Not a bad option too if you hold the view that :
- Selwood will likely get at least 1 weeks rest (i think this week vs Melb as a start), ditto Fyfe nearing finals (Lyon a monty to give him at least 1 week off), JPK (past history would suggest may not be given a rest), dangerfield (certainly looks like he needs it; Adelaide can't afford to drop 1 50-50 game from here on in; maybe he plays them all?), Buddy (in top team; he could be given a rest R21, 22; maybe - or just given half game time).

It is K Jack that I traded in and not his younger brother, isn't it??
Yep, he has definitely gone downhill since I traded him in. Even last week, he was on track for a monster, then doesn't play half the last quarter. Still happy with the logic of him over SJ, but in hindsight Fyfe would have the go.
What are the chances of him averaging 140 on the run home?

Hopefully Jack turns it around for you mate. I was that close to bringing him in this week if one of the Geelong boys was out myself.
I'll be very interested to see what teams do if Gaz is 3 weeks (or two matches). Conventional thought would be to hold if you're down to 2-3 trades like I suspect some would be but 50k is a lot of money and if you were to take a risk, this would be one. Grab the right player and close the gap by 100 points while Gaz is out and it might just be enough to get you home, especially if he misses more than 2.
