2012 injuries and suspensions

Re: Old McDonald suspended

Ditto.

I'll probably end up trading Parker out for a rookie before the first price rise. Then watch him go BANG on return.

In the same boat , however its a little worse for me as I had McDonald on the bench and parker onfield. So I miss the points.

Re: Old McDonald suspended

I'm hopeful that Clifton is in and replaces McDonald for a few weeks, best case scenario, too early to use a trade.

Re: Old McDonald suspended

Pfft. Sometimes bold decisions based on gut and educated guesses have to be made, just ask Impromptu about his Goddard decision last year.

Poor Prompts. All the thought and consideration and back-up planning he did on Goddard, and it just means that any idea, good or bad, gets tarred with his brush.

And it was instantly cancelled out by picking Montagna instead.

Re: Old McDonald suspended

I don't really see this as a big deal. For me McDonald would probably have been one of the last of the rookie priced players in my starting squad that I would have traded out due to him having a better chance of averaging more than anyone else as well as having pretty good job security. The only reason that you'd trade him out is if you were looking at the possibility of a few donuts. Also as mentioned earlier you wouldn't want all of your rookies peaking around the same time so this could end up good if you have cover.

So any subsequent idea wouldn't paint as good a picture?

Did the same Warney. Now, I thought I was the only one happy with him being out. Let's see what happens. There are still other midfield upgrades to watch though. I took him out because I worried about injuries and JS.

Exactly, I was planning on him being one of the last rookies traded, he'll be a good backup during the byes.

Just reported on 9 news that Hodge will miss tomorrow's game, due to a calf injury.

No source yet, but I will post one when I find one.

Edit: Sorry I forgot about this thread, even though I've already written in it.

Re: Luke Hodge to miss Round 1

Isn't named in the squad.

 

[pulpdriver]

Re: Luke Hodge to miss Round 1

Can we possibly change this to missing in round 1? It looks like Gray is missing too which throws a spanner in my works: Hamstring tightness. Do I keep him in a risk it with that...?

Re: Luke Hodge to miss Round 1

Bugger, there goes my quiet POD.

 

[warney7]

Re: Luke Hodge to miss Round 1

Damn it, had him as my point of difference and expect him to have a great season.

Looks like it's back to Scotty Thompson, which in a way is good because he has the round 11 bye.

Re: Old McDonald suspended

Matty Scarlett......maybe 6 weeks for doing a Barry Hall?

Any better guesses?

 

[controlKLICK]

Ballantyne known for diving and was pretty soft. 3 weeks.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Re: Old McDonald suspended

I say 3, it will be level 4 strike, but he has a good record (6-7 years without an indiscretion)

 

[yummy6]

Re: Old McDonald suspended

Anyone know about Petrie? Online it said a calf tweak???

Re: Old McDonald suspended

What's happening with Magner?

Re: Old McDonald suspended

What's happening with Magner?

would like to know myself! hope he is right for next week!

 

[warney7]

Re: Old McDonald suspended

Has carry-over points from round 1 2011....But I still think he'll get 3, maybe 4 if he has too many points already.

Re: Old McDonald suspended

What's happening with Magner?

I'm going to be screwed if Magnet doesn't get up.
Even if he does I might not risk him on the field as Melbourne have to travel to Subi to face the Eagles.

Wishing Magner a speedy recovery!

Re: Old McDonald suspended

What is up with Petrie?

 

[dUkezz]

Re: Old McDonald suspended
