Hi All,

thought i'd start a thread for current news items - player availability etc
as a quick reference guide for those that don't have time to surf a million sources for
the inside goss!

the aim is to keep the discussion to a minimum and be a resource thread.

Anyone know what the deal is with Dustin Martin?

Hardwick bigs him up - Gary Lyon pulls him back, where there's smoke?
any one have anything solid?

Lyon is a douchebag/knobjockey/********. Take your pick.

The fact that he's pulled him back is reason enough for me to choose him in my side.

 

[Keystone agony]

Lyon pulls him back because he knows melbourne tanked that year and ended up with Scully who they lost for diddly squat and Trengove a guy suffering with injury struggling due to a depleted side when he knows he couldve got Martin.

Good to know Tambling is playing SANFL, but luke browns performance on the weekend was very impressive maybe both will play in the same side

Good to see Masten cleared of injury

Than i use one of my 44 trades after he gives me a much needed price boost and point boost.

His hamstrings are over played, has he done what 1?

It's not often I agree with Ka, but Embley is good for 95+ and @ 260k there is NO other player who offers that kind of value on ANY line! You could pretty much have him as M5 for the same sort of output (give or take 5 points) as say a Fyfe who costs 200k more. No brainer as far as I'm concerned. (as long as he isn't greenvested)

Yep - with 44 picks, Embley is locked.

with a lockout just prior you'll know who the sub is too. <<< incorrect as pointed out below

 

[VSTone]

Cats giving Pies a belting at the half - 12-10 (82) to 5-5 (35)
DISPOSALS:
16 - Johnson
14 - Russell, Beams
13 - Pendlebury, Swan
12 - Clarke
10 - O'Brien

Caddy has 13 possessions, Mackie and Bartel have 12, Stokes and Hunt have 11 and Pods and Duncan are on 10 each.

Won't we be locked out after the start of Crows v Dons?

 

[Krujan]

Partially, I think*

ah - yeah good point, sorry!

from pies live chat

Brent Macaffer's also been really good whenever he's been near the ball. He's only had four touches so far (one mark) but kicked two goals and nearly set up another one for Elliott.

 

[Borshk]

Embley big chance for early green vests i rekon.
