Injuries & Suspensions

[Drew]

I hope they put D Fog in the guts at some point this week to throw his body around. Our midfield is decimated. I got a bad feeling this week.

Gibson is playing his first match for us, be interesting to see how that goes. Greenwood seems to be grabbing his chance, lets hope it's all good, these injuries are a bit of a worry, but realistically we've been coping well.

I’m actually very surprised that Gibson is straight in after missing so much footy!

 

[Courtesans]

Same with me, I traded him out after his initial injury, then brought him back in last week
What to do?

Damn irritating isn't it MC. In my case gives me the reason and opportunity to get Dangerfield in. Will take it I think.

I guess with Matt Crouch being out again he's the next best replacement.

Your post sums up what I say to Jay all the time.... "i remember when this game was fun"

It feels like SC is being played to such a high standard, arguably more so than ever before, that there is just so very little margin for error or bad luck that with just a smidgen of each you can clearly see your season slip away and when it's not even half way thru, well it can be frustratingly demoralising...anyway damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead !

The challenge is what makes it fun

Interesting to see how both teams perform after the Showdown , huge emotional game and physical toll.

CEY and Greenwood have been good for you guys this season , Gibbs has dropped off.

Wonder if Fog has the tank at this stage.

Be curious to see if you go smaller up forward with Tex and McG both out.

JJ , Lynch & Fog.

may throw Otten forward.

Surprised Galluci & Poholke stayed , although 4 injuries helped.

When is Wilson going to debut ? don't start playing him he will walk at the end of the season.

Hoping Murphy can keep his spot at least to the byes and make some $$$

Can't tell you much about Wilson, Drew may be able to. Yes, good to see Murphy back for SC.

There's a rumour Jeremy Howe might be a late withdrawal tomorrow. He was limping around at the end of the Cats game and I think had a scan on Monday. I had him penciled in this week but I'm obviously changing my plans now.

Yep, that rumour is keeping me from trading him in over Simpson.

Yeah there's so much info out there now that the masses are being spoonfed alot of good information that they wouldn't have had otherwise. It's why the gap between 10,000 positions overall is much less than previous years so any errors you make really are compounded, even if points wise it's only a few hundred points.

It is but so is having a beast like score where for a moment you think you're a chance at the weekly...that's the type of fun i want

I would have thought he’d be played exactly in Tex role for the next month. Port Bias aside, reckon Taylor might have gone off the old age cliff a bit earlier than most and you’ll need Fog ready for consistent footy as early as next season..

Dogs are rubbish mate, you’ll do them by 6 goal. That being said? Dogs by 11

You're right mate, will play the Walker/Gov role, but I wouldn't mind him to pinch hit in the guts to throw his weight around a bit, just my view.
Yeah, dogs are rubbish, 6 goal win would be nice. That being said, GC by 11.

To be honest I think it has been relatively easy so far this season, as most of the popular prem, rookies and mid pricers have gone well. The difference in points has come down to C choice, unlucky injuries and rookie roulette moreso than last year imo.

Season long way from finished of course

Surprised they didn't give him $2000.

How did Shane Edwards get off with off the ball hit? Similar to Titchell against Goldy, both should have been suspended

Was nothing like Mitchells,that was an elbow.
Open handed slap,50m penalty paid

Bit more than open handed slap........ just a little bit more....
