Dream Team and Supercoach questions

[Forzaport]

Gray is injury prone and is still building strength in his body. With any luck his numbers should gradually increase as he spends more and more time in the middle.

Am thinking about bringing in Peter Burgoyne befroe lock-out tonight. Is there a reason for his poorer scoring since returning to the team ie. different role, injury concern etc...or is he just struggling?

He's playing like a 31 year old who missed a full two weeks of footy early in the season due to his own idiocy and has dropped off the pace because of it.

Robbie Gray was great in the centre last week, but doesn't get great fantasy numbers. Any idea why? I'm trying to build a case to pick him up for my SC team.

I answered this last night but don't know what happened to the post. Gray has spent very little time in the middle, only started going in their late last year when we were trying things after our season was shot. He is a great little clearance machine but injuries and his engine have stopped him becoming a permanent midfielder. So he doesn't get a lot of possessions at hf or fp and he doesn't rack up a lot of useless 1 or 2 foot handballs like Kane Cornes and others in our mid field who try to break up the zone with handball.

[Forzaport]

Check here for the injury list update (which should be updated soon):

He's having scans today, he could be out for 1 or 5, just don't know yet.

Edit: PORT Adelaide star Chad Cornes will undergo arthroscopy on his knee and miss at least a month of football. More

Any idea whether Broadbent is likely to be included in the side this week?

 

[Forzaport]

^ deserves to be and there is talk of it.

 

[Will.B.Worth.Da.Waite]

why was krakour dropped?

 

[Buddyman]

when broadbent gets a run will he most liekly hold his position?

 

[Buddyman]

Krakouer was dropped due to poor form i believe

 

[Forzaport]

when broadbent gets a run will he most liekly hold his position?

I hope so, the more i read about this kid, the more i like him.

I think krakouer is still suffering from soreness, his body still needs lots of development.

 

[Pie Legend]

Just a quick question about Kane Cornes, how is he going? Do you expect him to see out the season, or if things don't go the Powers way, will he be getting wrapped in cotton wool and sent of to see a specialist about his shoulder

Cheers.

 

[Forzaport]

Kane won't miss a game unless it's physically impossible for him to play

 

[Pie Legend]

Kane won't miss a game unless it's physically impossible for him to play

Thought as much.

Thanks.

The krakouer one was strange.

Played every game and the coaches had him firmly in the 22. Missed a week due to general soreness given this is the first year where he's not a twig. Came back round 10, and the entire team played poorly to lose to collingwood. Didn't play last weekend against freo, and if he was omitted I'd be quite surprised as the coaches believe he's in the 22 (and I don't think he played in the SANFL either which would indicate omission, but I'm not 100% on this), so that would suggest he is still recovering from 'general soreness'. If this is the case, no idea if he'll play this week...

 

[Saint KFC]

What's wrong with Hartlett? Will he be back this week?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Flu-related hamstring. Primus ruled him out in today's presser.

 

[mightyhawks23]

What happened to Grey? Injury/illness?

 

[Capt_Concussion]

What's the go with Salopek? Way down on his usual output. Not 100%? Change of role? Just poor form?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What happened to Grey? Injury/illness?

He always carries some undisclosed leg injury(ies), unsure whether he'll play this week, depends on how he trains Wednesday (it's usual for him).

What's the go with Salopek? Way down on his usual output. Not 100%? Change of role? Just poor form?

Probably back too soon from the shoulder injury, might be getting watched more closely. His role hasn't changed, altho he's lost his HBF partner Krakouer, allowing the opposition to focus on him more.

Nathan Krakouer

Dream team related obviously

He was omitted, not injured. Or so the club say.

He played in the magoos on the weekend and went allright. He'll come back when he's picked to come back.

Being a choco fav. I wouldn't say he'll be out long.

 

[Windas_Magic]

Chad Cornes.

Hang onto him or trade him?

 

[Forzaport]

He was 4-6 away last week, he's 4-6 away this week - even with the break you'll need to be well clear of any competition in your league (or have a very strong team) to warrant retaining him.
