No news on Chad? I heard on the news he was having surgery but he is not listed anywhere, or on the AFL website

HELPPPPPPPP ME

if chad cornes is out then i need to make a trade bcos i must get into teh top4 of my league! i have 4 trades left and 16 k in the bank. i have 2 good reserves (wellingham and valenti) that i can cash in for money. i do not need to make trades to my mids, rucks, or fwds bcos they r already set for the rest of the season………….the problem lies in my back line. my backline is the following:

sam fisher
roughead
heath shaw
chad cornes
wonnamirri
kennelly
harry taylor

i am not sure whether to do a straight trade from chad to either of: symes, gilbee, waite, massie, osborne, birchall or josh drummond
OR
do a cash trade (wellingham to a 72k player) then chad for mackie or bock or wheatley.

if i chose the second option then i would have 2 trades left and 1 cash cow still on the bench to trade in, then i could trade kennelly or harry taylor for another big gun backmen.

if i took the first option i would have 3 trades left and would no matter what have at least 1 cash cow still on the bench and perhaps wasted……………………..

ANY SUGGESTIONS on which option i should take ????????????????????????????

I like gilbee, reckon he will do well for the rest of the season given the dogs run home

Barry Hall might also be back this weekend as well with Sydney’s injuries piling up:

bozzy_lad - keep in mind everyone has a bad backline - the best backman averages 91. Kennelly is a bit of an injury worry with his Lego shoulder. I’d suggest holding off and see how things go, then upgrade in R19.

Chad said he’d play out the year. If he doesn’t you’ll hear aallllll about it.

By Chad on Jul 21, 2008 | Reply

like other soft players (McLeod, H Shaw) they don’t like having an opponent. Welcome to footy now harden the fuck up.

Port Adelaide’s Chad Cornes has finally succumbed to knee and shoulder injuries and will sit out the rest of season.

Do those at DTT Hospital believe Myers will play again this season?

When do you think Cox will pull the pin on this season?
