Bartel Out???

[The Made Guy]

Surely Bartels is your most expensive injured player? Trade him if you've got a trade.

Not really.

It all depends on what your coverage on the bench is.

 

[Drummond]

surely Cornes will go to Ablett, a far more damaging player.
I had just finished settling my team when the news broke. Goddamit. I can cover, just, but its a huge loss.

Please don't say that!

You never know, he might come out of hospital and be fine, and score 200+ this weekend

Fat chance, I know, but it's better to cling onto hope than despair...

I think this is highly unlikely, even perhaps impossible. He had surgery a few hours ago.

 

[borgy]

Will he play RD22?

 

[trueblue_91]

I can't believe it.... to go out of finals like this

 

[Zapp]

Will he play RD22?

No chance whatsoever.

Relating to my last comment Waverly, I was trying to give some hope to the poor guy above... But, you're right, it is impossible. BUT I would laugh so hard if it just turned out it was cramp or something and hospital was 'a precaution'. Some antacids and he's right to go.

But of course that would happen AFTER lockout now wouldn't it?

I did read that because they're using keyhole surgery it's like a 1 to 2 week recovery. With finals so soon you'd reckon they wouldn't risk him next week even if he looks like he's travelling alright.

no chance, i was in hospital for 5 days after the op.

hehe - sorry mate. Just thought you were being ultra optimistic. I actually read on the afl website that Neil Balme confirmed that he was going under the knife any minute. Unless he's playing some serious mind games against Mark Williams I do believe he was actually going under the knife. But as you said it wouldn't surprise me that if at 7.45pm they actually say that he just ate some dodgy mexican food and is fine.

Next thing is Mark Williams plays some mind games back. Statement released saying both Cornes brothers potentially to miss for some 'personal family related issue'. Now THAT would top of this week!

That's nightmare material.

 

[Bollox]

If u only have the 1 trade left or just thinking about benching him then it might be worth a minute reviewing Brad Symes' recovery time.

Gotta be as close to an independent answer as u'll get

 

[fjm9]

Omg Best News All flipping Day!!!!!!

 

[that_dood]

Ive got Bartel and Judd with my only playing emergency Goldsack. I have no trades and I'm desperately hoping Judd plays and I scrape into the GF.

A Dark day in history.............We remember Bartel '07......RIP

Will it still make you happy if we beat you without Bartels? (or are you talking from dreamteam point of view?)

 

[fjm9]

i was talkin from a dreamteam point of view lol, i knew there was a reason going for swan over bartel.

It also helps power as well

Just got him last week

Also lost James McDonald during the week, only got Marty Clarke to replace one.

Exact same situation.
What are you doing mate?
I assume your trading off Bartel?

I'm just doing my Sportal team and I must have run over a black cat. I have Kerr, Jimmy AND Jmac!! And Aaron Fiora to cover for all three with no trades. Also have Knights who is a worry for this week. But can't complain at least I don't have Judd too. Was in the top 300 too. Oh well, 2008 starts on Monday.
