is Whitfield a must. I want to bring him in for Daniel and Baker to Rocky but that means Gawn gets O.

July 5, 2019 at 5:38 pm
Whitfield is out
thebopper58
July 5, 2019 at 5:13 pm

Not any longer as he hasn’t been selected!!!
He must’ve had a setback????
Dejan
July 5, 2019 at 5:18 pm
Great. just my luck.
thanks for letting me know thebopper58.
The Cricket
July 5, 2019 at 7:19 pm
Yep, soreness after two games back apparently
M8
July 5, 2019 at 5:18 pm
Best defender option to bring in now that Whitfield isn’t playing? I have Lloyd and Laird already
Ed
July 5, 2019 at 5:20 pm
B Smith to Hartlett plus $$ or Crisp
Dejan
July 5, 2019 at 5:21 pm
M8
i was going to say Hurn but maybe Zak Jones.
Dejan
July 5, 2019 at 5:23 pm
caleb daniel to Hurn or Z jones or
caleb daniel to billings
or leave daniel on the bench bring in ROSE (sydney) as cover and downgrade Gawn so i dont cop a O
Dejan
July 5, 2019 at 5:25 pm
or caleb daniel to Gaff (via dpp) and risk gawn on the field
texantexan
July 5, 2019 at 5:33 pm
Daniel to Laird, Crisp, Salem or Stewart?
Dejan
July 5, 2019 at 5:37 pm
Laird
The Cricket
July 5, 2019 at 7:20 pm
Laird or Stewart imo
texantexan

Cheers guys. I went Crisp in the end and pretty happy with that that decision at the moment!

Hannebery OUT
Balsam
July 5, 2019 at 7:06 pm
Yep… just destroyed my trading out Gawn.
Hanners > Rockliff
O. Baker > 170K Rookie
Just to Get 22 on the field with zero bench cover.
Danger and Gawn in doubt could mean a wipeout for me this week…
MikeLowrey
July 5, 2019 at 5:51 pm
1. Baker to Rocky, Logue playing D6
Or
2. Daniel to Blakey, Hind playing M8

K.Dunkley a prospect?
Marcus
July 5, 2019 at 6:00 pm
Why can’t people work there own teams out instead of asking everyone. I thought there were a lot of footy smart people on this sight. Obviously I’m wrong if everyone is asking for advice
Joe
July 5, 2019 at 6:14 pm
I don’t think everyone has the effort or time to look through every possible stat, listen to every podcast, read every article or even think about fantasy every week… this is a way for people to quickly sort their teams out with the help of others, that’s why this site is so good. Also, being ‘footy smart’ doesn’t really mean heaps when it comes to fantasy. Heaps of luck is involved, that’s why people ask eachother as to what risks they should take, what players are the safest picks etc. If you think of someone just starting out in fantasy who wants to do well, this is probably the only place you’ll get actually good advice and learn how to play well. All we’ll do in discouraging comments here is make less people play because their teams blow up after picking wrong, which doesn’t help anything in making this game more legitimate and user-friendly overall.
Mark
July 5, 2019 at 7:51 pm
Well said Joe, I’ll add to that, I’m always checking this site and have been for 11 years. These guys give up so much of their time to help anyone and everyone who wants to relax and have a bit of fun. It’s fantasy footy champ, it’s not the end of the world. Lighten up have a laugh, respect the folks who work hard to make this what it is. At the end of the day these guys really don’t have to do this for us. I for one really appreciate the awesome work, it’s helped me to switch off from the other crap that happens in life and enjoy a new way of looking at the weekend. Power to the legends I say!
Marcus
July 6, 2019 at 9:22 am
Yeah fair enough comments guys. All the best to both you guys for the rest of the season.
M8
July 5, 2019 at 6:17 pm
This site is made for giving and receiving advice…
David C

What a loser. Why are you on this forum?

No one’s asking you to read the page if you don’t like it don’t read it… Easy.
Marcus
July 6, 2019 at 9:27 am
LOL read this site for Advice. Calvin said yesterday Grundy will get 120. He will score 120 LMAO. I notice a few people took Grundy as Captain how did that go. Thank god I don’t take there advice. I’m not that stupid.
Warnie
July 6, 2019 at 9:57 am
“I’m not that stupid”. Uses “there” instead of “their”.
Marcus
July 6, 2019 at 10:57 am
Yeah Warnie mate sorry I been a bit disrespectful. I get a bit heated up at times so please don’t take it personal. You guys are doing a good job.

Trades this week:
Daniel to Crisp.
Not sure for my second one though, either:
1) Gawn to Marshall for dpp when Gawn returns, however means I won’t be able to get Whitfield in for a couple of weeks. Would go worpel to Gawn next week because of his good run of games.
2) fort to Clarke, clarke on bench to cover Gawn if he’s out. Allowing me to go Smith to Whitfield next week if Gawn returns.
Thoughts would be appreciated..
Lewie-14
July 5, 2019 at 6:40 pm
Daniel to Crisp/stewart
Gawn to Marshall
Hind to cover Hanners
Or
Daniel to Crisp/Stewart
Hanners to Rocky
Risk Gawn ???
connor
July 5, 2019 at 7:02 pm
1) Z Clarke as gawn cover + Ziebell + 48k
2) Marshall/Witts + Dusty + 145/155k
Andy
July 5, 2019 at 7:04 pm
Watch out Gawn owners. Preuss is waiting there on the emergency bench.
llizardofoz
July 5, 2019 at 7:26 pm
Anybody who hasn’t factored in Gawn’s late out is going to be miffed.
Kim Cricket
July 5, 2019 at 7:50 pm
Agreed. I think it’s a classic illustration of the Danger (pun intended) of running without emergency cover, especially at this late stage of the season.
With all the carnage this week I’m heading into this round without any midfield emergency cover, and I don’t like it!
The ruck line is always especially shitty cos there just aren’t ever enough (any?) low priced options who’re playing regularly. Dual position RUC/FWDs are rare gems – where’s Balta when we need him lol
This week’s troubles are a timely reminder to keep the emergency cover on our benches! Too much injury landing on us from now on to not be prepared for it hey
Snag
July 5, 2019 at 7:11 pm
Fyfe, Merrett or Dusty?
Miyagi-san
July 5, 2019 at 7:35 pm
Team pre trades:
D) Lloyd Houli Caleb Sic Smith Logue (naish/garner)
M) Jelly TT Cogs Brouch Fyfe Trel Zach Bray (O.Baker/Bewley)
R) Grundy Gawn (fort/cameron)
F) Dunk Boak Telly Danger JZ Worp (hanrahan/burgess)
Thinking Fort/Daniel to Clarke/Crisp. Clarke as max insurance with the E and as a bit of a cow for JS over next month with rooks losing out everywhere. Crisp top 6 defender with ceiling, all D prems are up and down this year, but his ups are higher then others. Leaves 130k bank to help operation get whit ASAP.

Gawn has been given the all clear to play. It’s a shame because Marshall is now a late out due to soreness.
The Cricket
July 6, 2019 at 5:45 pm
At it again, Junior? Youngsters never do seem to understand how jokes wear thin with too much repetition …
llizardofoz
July 6, 2019 at 1:23 pm
…and a number of people dropped Gawn.
I wasted a trade with Z Clarke coming in at R3.
thebopper58
July 6, 2019 at 2:00 pm
Ha ha useless prick, I got no sympathy for ya. Best season I’ve ever had in fantasy is this year solely due to not listening to this site anymore and doing on my own terms.
llizardofoz
July 6, 2019 at 3:49 pm
Well then…go away..please.
M8
July 6, 2019 at 5:50 pm
I got Clarke at R3 as well thought he would at least push 60, I was clearly wrong….
M8
July 6, 2019 at 2:09 pm
FYI Lloyd has just been concussed in first quarter. Has thrown on the jacket which means he is out for the remainder of the game and potentially next week.
Belly

Yawn, go back to playing with your prawn.

Yep hijacked lads, I’ll get onto getting an avatar this week
M8
July 6, 2019 at 2:12 pm
Hope Richmond’s new rookie eggmolester makes up for it.
Andy
July 6, 2019 at 3:12 pm
Is Dusty being tagged or something?
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 3:20 pm
He’s playing more up forward since first quarter nursing a ankle injury but looks like he’s been iced up late in this quarter so I doubt he will come back on.
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 3:20 pm
I saw the score line and was expecting a feast, sadly not, have only just turned it on and he’s suddenly had 5-6 possessions, I’ll keep watching:)
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 3:53 pm
Ha ha sorry my bad, it wasn’t Martin who had the possessions it was Astbury. I got all excited as I thought he came back on but still iced on the bench this quarter. No point watching now he was my only Richmond player. What made it worst is I made him captain.
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 5:28 pm
M8 is obviously out of juice, resorting to posting as other people again. Hopefully his mum will be along shortly to tuck him in bed after he’s had a go on the boob.
The Milkmen
July 6, 2019 at 4:36 pm
Didn’t see game. Z Merritt. Brutally tagged?
The Cricket
July 6, 2019 at 5:53 pm
Nope, he copped a heavy knock early on and up to half-time had spent only 50% TOG. Played the whole second half but was clearly not at his best. I think Hewett was tagging Shiel.
It’s turning out a pretty crappy fantasy round, but I’m not complaining right now – the Bombers won and I’ve got my priorities straight!!!
Bok
July 6, 2019 at 4:47 pm
You’ve gotta be kidding me. Had Boak as Captain and the VC on Dusty
The Cricket
July 6, 2019 at 5:55 pm
Geez, seriously? That’s some shitty luck!
Ron Burgundy and the Channel 2 news team
July 6, 2019 at 4:48 pm
Did anyone else just realise halfway through the first quarter, boak wasn’t listed in the team and injured himself during warmup. Geez I’ve already written this week off.
The Cricket
July 6, 2019 at 5:57 pm
Lol yeah, same here. Hahaha won’t it be funny if Danger doesn’t play? Couldn’t script it hey?!
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 5:30 pm
Thankfully every half decent team has him.
Seamus
July 6, 2019 at 6:15 pm
The difference will be who has cover
Belly
July 6, 2019 at 6:53 pm
And weather Danger is a late out too

Warnie, through this round of utter fantasy carnage, at least the likes of you and I are walking tall with smiles on our dials hey?

Rocky oinking down back in the final few mins :)

Haha yep, loving it. Traded Baker up to Rocky and put the C on him.
Only had 25 at QTR time too
Seamus
July 6, 2019 at 11:03 pm
Finally having a decent sort of a round, on track for 2100, after having gaff subpar at 98 as cap, kelly, boak replaced by rose, and my gamble in blakely scoring 2 in the second half
Andy
July 7, 2019 at 2:26 am
was going to bring in Rocky, but brought in Dusty instead- bad move.
and Logue 30, what was that? Fyfe 61, Kelly 65. Not a good round for me so far.
Pendles4Brownlow

What’s wrong with Cam Guthrie? Time to get off that roller-coaster. Overdue. Crisp perhaps?
Mecca
July 7, 2019 at 6:23 pm
Boak late out sucks … especially as I have him in the mids with no cover. Had Rose as E in forwards so if I’d had any of my other various m/f playing that mid spot and Boak in forwards I would have those extra 57 points. Crappy week this week from several other players plus that 🍩 severely crippling my chance at a hat ☹️
