To be fair it was a bad weekend for most I think, hell is got just short of 2400 a couple weeks back with a midfielder taking a 0… this week I didn’t even get to 2200, some ordinary scores.
Even to best or better than most have bad days.

Yeah fuck right off mate, I’m more mad about the rank, i beat you earlier on in the season, pretty sure you were the one who told me not to grab Murphy and Kelly in the preseason so I’m always gonna be mad at you

Trade Zorko or hold for one week – i’ve got SPP to cover

Must win round for top 4 finish – do I trade Zorko leaving Rocky on ground or bench Zorko upgrade Rocky and field Mountford?

Is Calvin going to eat his hat after the Rocky display?
That was the most awesome tagging effort he put on Bryce Gibbs and it worked!!!
They won!!!
JK Calvin- love your work and is Koby Steven worth keeping?
Confused
July 24, 2017 at 4:03 pm
Best scoring pair between
A – Rocky & Greenwood
B – Sidey/Brad Crouch/Duncan/Treloar & Mountford
Will Rocky score better with Zorko out?
Bjorn

Re the Selwood vs Beams debate – Is Hutchings almost certainly going to run with Beams now that Zorko is out?

Which trade to do?
Wines and Karpany to Jelwood and Glass +227k
or
Wines and Greenwood to Jelwood and Yeo +1k
Sam
July 24, 2017 at 6:46 pm
Depends on where u are on the ladder. If ur in the 8 and can’t challenge for top 4 take the money option. Then eventually throw glass on the bench and uograde someone for your first final. Look for a side bottom or macrae. Hard to know what to do without seeing your full team
Fletty
July 24, 2017 at 6:57 pm
This is my team before the trades
DEF: Doc, Adams, Laird, Blakely, Lloyd, Witherden (Willis, Smith)
MID: Titch, Danger, Zerrett, Zorko, Dusty, Kelly, Wines Karpany (Miles, Hibberd)
RUC: Kruezer, Stef (Simpson, King)
FWD: Macrae, Heeney, Greenwood, Young, JKH, Bolton
Im ranked 1st in one league and 2nd in two leagues
Sam
July 24, 2017 at 7:37 pm
With that team
I would be grabbing money where I can and in two weeks upgrading young to Sidebottom
Sam
July 24, 2017 at 6:41 pm
Heg y, I’m in a 6 team league and we are running a top 6 finals. Does anyone kinow how the first round will work? Example… 1st vs 6th, 2nd v 5th, 3rd v 4th?
Andy
July 24, 2017 at 6:58 pm
Zorko should appeal his one week ban.
Andy
July 24, 2017 at 7:54 pm
Look at the footage- that was a dive by the Carlton player.
This has stuffed me: I’ve got a preliminary final and a grand final next week, and neither of my opponents have Zorko like I have.
Matt: this game shits me!
Thrice
July 25, 2017 at 4:22 pm
He wasn’t banned for the hit on Petreski Seton. He was banned for the punch to Plowman in the stomach that caused him to fall to his knees and dry reach for 2 minutes before the ball was even bounced.
If you think that if fair then you are a moron. You cant just punch someone in the stomach off the ball.
Andy
July 25, 2017 at 6:17 pm
Fair enough. I thought it was the Pet-Seton one. I didn’t even know about the other one until today. Fair suspension then, even though it still leaves me stuffed!
The Cricket
July 24, 2017 at 8:44 pm
Agreed 100% ridiculous for a player to cop a ban for that – goes on all the time and does no damage

Very sideways.
Shane

One of the duo’s will be getting brought in. That’s what I’m proposing, which is the best?
D Day
July 25, 2017 at 9:57 am
I think second option will get you more points but is more risky given Beams injury history.
Kye
July 25, 2017 at 12:18 am
Jack Martin, Toby McLean, or Franklin in the fwd line? Can’t afford Sidey
wiley
July 25, 2017 at 11:41 am
Franklin to be safe, or risk it with Toby, since Martin relies on marks for his scores.
Ryan G
July 25, 2017 at 6:43 am
Should I be trading out Newman, who is on my field, and putting Witherden on the field? Or should I keep both and have one for cover just in case?
D Day
July 25, 2017 at 9:58 am
Depends if you have someone else as bench cover. If you still have someone for a bench emergency then go for it!

Hi I was wonder weather I should either:
Trade touhy or Newman for witherden
Or
Trade Powell pepper or Scott Selwood for a forward. I have dalhouse MacRae Heeney Greenwood Sinclair Ainsworth

I play AFL fantasy

Thoughts on boak down forward now Wingard is out, under 4% own him, by the looks him and Wingard had swapped on the half forward line, will he get more mid time??
wiley
July 25, 2017 at 11:38 am
I don’t like him, he kicked 4 goals for that 120. He won’t kick 4 goals every game, but I’d say he’s good for 90’s. I’ve been considering Mclean and Martin
James
July 25, 2017 at 3:08 pm
Franklin, Boak or McLean?

Imagine having in your side Wingard (injured, gone), Dorko (suspended), Greene (suspended), Walters (injured early, out for year), Zak Jones spudding up with Witherden on the bench and lets throw in Heater and Lloyd just for good measure. Please don’t tell me you had a worse weekend than that!!

If beams not good choice as maybe going to be tagged who would be best to get from list
Simpson – def
Sloane – mid
Franklin – fwd
C-Bear
July 27, 2017 at 9:01 am
Simpson has been in decent form.
Otherwise I am also looking at Rocky + Newman > Jelwood + Beams
There is a lot of talk about a tag but it could be worth the risk Brisbane has a good run home.

trade or hold zorko?
Confused
July 27, 2017 at 8:18 am
My current trades are Zorko to Dusty and Newman to Jelwood.
Should I stick with this or go Mountford to Young and Newman to Dusty? This allows me to bench Zorko and play Hugh Greenwood on ground.
Please help.
C-Bear
July 27, 2017 at 9:18 am
Young and Dusty, bench Zorks

Going Nyhuis to Glass, but it does’t give me enough to go Koby Stevens to Sidebottom. Should I get Buddy, Boak, Mclean or Gray instead?
