It was a weekend of carnage. It started with Connor Rozee’s hamstring (again) and it kept coming as Zac Williams was subbed out with a hamstring, Tom Green’s day ended very early due to an ankle, Elliot Yeo hurt his goind, Jye Caldwell had a tight calf… and the most popular captains didn’t fire. Join Roy, Calvin and Warnie for a group therapy session as we look to rebuild for next round.

Help me choose
Rozzee- Parish
Dempsey- Peatling
Or
Rozee- Oliver
Sharp/dempsey- Soligo/Moore???
Cognilio is a possible return this week, that may affect Peatlings score, I would go the second option, but that’s my opinion
Thoughts on what trades to do this week
Got 33k in the bank,
DEF: Sheezel, Daicos, Whitfield, Martin, Young, Houston, (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Dawson, Green, Rozee, Bonner, Roberts, Graham, Sharp (Clohsey, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Caldwell, Powell,Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Drury)
UTIL: Cadman
1 – Howes to Sullivan via Clohesy DPP
2 – Rozee to Serong (keeping the bye structure)..
start Sullivan at M8 & Sharp on the bench with the E and if he goes 65+ loop with Mannagh, otherwise role the dice that Sullivan can hit 65 against WCE..
Cheers mate
Poor advice Doug. With Sharp on the bench with the E and he scores 65+ then loop with Mannagh. Geelong play before Freo. 🤪
Any others idea on trades then
Sullivan or Reville??
i know it’s more a question for Fry as the cash cow community king, but which rook looks better for a 2-4 week stint??
both look to have some stability given injuries within both clubs, but who would you pick as likely to get more TOG and avoid the vest??
currently leaning towards Sullivan as he already appears to be a fan/coach fave..
Green > Serong and Maynard > McKercher
Valid?
Just on the idea of having a 23rd player to to be able to sub out your worse player, I think it’s not the worst idea.
Could have your traditional emergencies in Def/mid etc, and use the Utility slot exclusively for the 23rd man.
I’ve long been a supporter of adding strategic depth to the game, given how dumbed down it now is with unlimited trades, beat 18 scoring over byes etc) etc, which means luck is more of a factor these days.
