4/388

Just an average night with Stewart and Duncan. Stewart going well. Was very reluctant to trade Simpson early last round but had to do it... So I got very lucky there which I haven't been for most of the season.

However...love how much of a troll Duncan has been. Has gone 114+ in all his games except for that one injury game but as soon as I trade him in he goes 101, 100 and now 90. Excepted a 110+ average for him or possibly larger. Should have gone Menegola all these rounds ago over him as i've also had Menegola all season in my draft and he has gone well. Has 2 games to show me something better or I may slingshot him during his round 15 bye.

Guys any essendon supporters think draper will be a certain starter on sunday.. desperately need him to play to avoid donut. Cheers
Nothing is certain but he should play.

TBC is also under an injury cloud, makes sense for him to miss.

Only curveball could be if Phillips is rotated in over Draper but that would be a very unpopular decision amongst supporters!

“Tom hyperextended his knee early in the game against the Suns in a centre-bounce contest and whilst there is no ligament damage, he has bone bruising. He will be given every opportunity to play this week with a decision on his availability being made as late as possible.”

More than welcome to bring in Tobias 😀 , he is "fun" to own.

I was just looking at Freo's fixture

Sat 29/8
Wed 2/9
Mon 7/9
Sat 12/9

so 4 in 15 days.

I guess every other club have/will have similar so no different to any other clubs , Essendon & Melbourne have to do it twice.

Just hope if he does get managed it is in a Best 18 round.

Might plan for Jez , Son Son & Tobias
It’s too early in the morning. Who is Tobias?

Wasn’t paying much attention to match ups last night - too tired. Look this morning and my opponent has Hawkins. 😬

@THCLT it must be @jiimmyy I’ve got in SCS04 & my $ league. However I think he might have got his C and VC mixed up or forgot to change them after last week as he’s got the C on Whitfield and VC on Neale.

Trading Bazlenka tomorrow , dropped off for a variety of reasons.

Nothing convincing about Simpkin of late , Greenwood has dropped off.

Might wait for Tobias , J Cameron could be cheap (but if they can't beat the Swans is it worth going there ?)

Always need Son Son.

Hogan could be interesting.

I am currently running Whitfield , Big O , Ladhams , Butler , D Smith & TJL.

Very little $$$ in the Bank though and not much on my bench to trade down so might just hold and wait.
Don’t think Baz might bounce back against Adelaide? I’m thinking of trading him to, with the news of the extra 3 trades, his injury cloud, and Dunkley’s return.
Fwds such a raffle: had Hawkins on my list but was still working out ramifications of the byes and passed. Damn it..,

Did that in my wife's team. Still had Kelly C from the week before. She can live with a 119 so not as bad.

For those who remember I got on the Hawkins train last season. Unfortunate that I went a season too early! Never really considered him as a trade him this season, but was interested in seeing him do well. Well done to those who hopped on after his early season form.

6/565 not good, not bad.
Need Mahoney and Aarts to go up by a combined 10k for my preferred trade in of Walters. Not holding my breath though as Mahoney's BE is 73

When I was working out my planned trade strategy about 6 weeks back I was trying to work out who I thought would be top of each line and I had Hawkins pencilled in as one who was a good chance to be one of the top forwards. As I'm not a fan of him, I didn't select him as part of that trade strategy. Didn't want to cheer him on each week. Looking like I was right at least about him being a top 6 forward. :(

Unfortunately for KPF's their only as good as the ball that gets delivered to them. It seemed to work out last night, especially with match ups as Port didn't have a tallish defender, I wouldn't go out of my way to bring him in, as we know he'll have a different match up next week and his scores will definitely fluctuate from 60 to 130, don't think we'll see a 200 again this season.

Bazlenka is my only pathway to get Tay Tay 😀

Smith's average for the last 3 & 5 rounds is not doing it , couple of other concerns , I hope he does bounce back.

After deciding against Tomahawk not getting Tay Tay (especially with the BBQ factor) would destroy me.

Now I am sure you know who Bazlenka is , Tay Tay is Taylor Adams and BBQ is Adam Treloar.
