Im trading the prick. Had enough. Listed 1-2 weeks.

They will want him back ASAP surely. Even if he comes back poorly, won't be long until hes pumping out 120+'s again.

If we have held since R10, what is the point in trading him out now in R16. That ship has long sailed.

You may come out of it up to 200 points better off, but is it worth a trade at this stage of the season?

 

[JuddgementDay]

Have held $400k in the kitty to trade Oliver back in

I'll probably just use it this week on someone else rather than wait around for him.

Same here - that was me last week, but once I’ve made up my mind to go down another path of using that fund to get two players - I was ok.

I.e DC and spare $$$ for the next upgrade

So just pull the trigger!

I honestly don't care re trades. I have 6. Would still trade if I had 3. Had enough of him. I reckon he misses at least 1 more also. Doubt he'll be 120's again for a few rounds after to.

and the Melbourne FC medical department. The gifts that keep on giving.

I’ll hold once again, precariously placed in cash leagues.

Don't mind me, just enjoying that $700K the only way I can.

Didn’t own Laird or Oliver last year and they killed me.

Owned both this year and the output has been disappointing (more so Laird start to the year).

Yep, same deal with Sicily for me, cost me a ton of ranking points not starting him last year and by the time I had a spare trade the price was gone.

'Fool me once...'

 

[jdwood]

Clarry has destroyed me.

After killing me all year I shelled out the week he got injured and have held. Rough estimate, but I’d be pushing well into the top 50 if I’d have turfed him for Petracca.

Very tempted to ditch him now as I’m not at all confident he is nearing a return.

 

[Blackhawk42]

This is it, hammy's and calf's are a trade. Every time.

I had just sold the farm to get him in, so was reluctant to trade. Error, have to be ruthless in SC.

Hammies are always a hold for me now after the Cripps fiasco from last year.
Was expecting Oliver to return just as quickly, so pretty disappointed with how its turned out.


However, my overall rank has risen by almost 2000 spots (now 3262) since I've been holding him. So may as well continue to do so.

Pull that trigger and don't look back.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm doing it too after owning TT for one week and turfing him for Dawson.

Darcy Cameron and Thomas both making their returns to my side this weekend.

 

[gutsroy]

Someone know the backstory here?
Why's he coming out with a denial of a bit if the old pant shittage?

Probably won't do it as I've only got four trades left and one rookie still onfield, so can't justify a sideways trade for a one-weeker. Unlikely to get much info from the Geelong injury report tomorrow

Does look a touch like explosive Duryea, I guess.

Looks like there might have also been a bit of spine rattling involved, Scoops, how does it look to your expert eye?

Definitely a watch for owners.

That's what standing contested beast Baby Daics will do to a man, happens to the best of us .
No judgment, we're a big (hopefully well-ventilated) tent.

Scoops has already put out feelers to Sard Wonder Soap to determine the length of his stint on the sidelines.
Can be stubborn, those ones.
Tipping 3-4 wash cycles minimum.

LOL, nah, although I'm not at all surprised to pick up superb laundering intel from your good self, if you go back to the photo, what I was referring to was that you'll see he's grabbing for his lower back rather suspiciously.

Scoop?

Bit of collateral damage?

Could become Shartgate for owners if he's a late out while lining up for a fat ton against North...

 

[Plugger35]

What a circus this Oliver stuff has been, seriously considering just pulling the pin on him now and trading him to Laird, wish I had done that weeks ago.

Sorry, Scoopsrayz, got the cart ahead of the horse there.
Scoops can confirm that Keays went on to play out the game showing no discomfort other than a slightly bow-legged gait - for understandable reasons, given the payload he was packing.
Some scuttlebutt that Keays' partner has requested that they temporarily sleep in separate beds and that Ben has a fan pointed at the window in operation 24/7 to deal with any aromatic issues which may present, again not overly surprising under trying circumstances.
Keays understood to be in negotiations for a sponsorship deal with Everyday Greens and Tena Fit, but at the time of going to press, it's not across the line.
