Looking for a BAT eligible donut player to take Connolly’s score.

Any suggestions that come to mind? Maybe a donut to play? I will have Stars donuts next round.

Probably up to 131.2k to spend (unless I adjust my trade out).

Round 8 starts Monday with ST v PS

Can use Agar (if named) & Billings as E's again.

Not sure if DC plays , Warner was saying it was a toss up between him and Weibgen.

Maybe Doran plays

Harper & Stoinis on the Bye.

Boyce & Weatherald on the bench doing nothing

Not sure I want to overload on Hurricanes either (currently own Jordan & Meredith) in case I get stuck fielding them in Round 9

HARPER / Billings (E)

DC , Weatherald / Renshaw (E) , Doran

STOINIS / W Agar (E) , Boyce

Depends on W Agar I guess but might need to go :-

Boyce - > cheap
Upgrade DC before the first game to ?
Upgrade Weatherald to ?

Heat play final game so can't look at a score from Renshaw

Be interesting to see how many Overton (still will have a high BE) owners go to M Short for Round 8 , still need $ 80k though or wait until Round 9 where he probably loses more cash then go to ?

Has there been any mention of why Thornton missed last night? Feels like he has been one of their better bowlers this season so would be a bit odd if he was dropped so thinking it’s more likely an injury or resting but couldn’t find any info.

Anybody hear anything?

So are we trading in Matt Short or Steve Smith next round?
Not in my plans

Curious to see how many Overton owners go that way though or risk a additional price drop before he needs to be traded out.

Guess with the Hurricanes on the DGR they will be a popular VC option.

What score will be enough to lock in or go Short v Smith as C on the AO road ?

If Adelaide have the same bowling attack as last game, Smith would be hard to pass up.

You'd hope the Sixers bowl better then the Heat... And the pitch being used might make batting a bit tougher. Might only be a 200 game, not 250!
Could be a massive decision for those in contention 😀

Has/does Short get clearance to resume bowling ? 🤔
