News Injuries/Suspensions 2012

Good challenge by the Dockers.

Broughton won't be carrying the 93 carryover points now either.

Win-win came from this.

 

[entourage]

Common sense prevails again, very happy with Broughts getting off.

MRP surely has a case to answer for this year with quite a few charges getting thrown out at the tribunal.

It was a pathetic, non incident.

 

[GiantForce]

What's the deal with Christensen? Bad injury or will he be right to play next week?

Scott said he wouldve been right to run out the game yesterday if required so I'm guessing he should be right.

At least the Cats game is Friday night

 

[Big Cox 88]

Damn just saw Hanley pulled a hammy, anyone know how badly? he was set for a tonne tonight as well

 

[pauldrc]

Hmac may only miss a week according to B. Scott.....

Phew....

It's an awkward one though for HMac owners. If he misses a week do you cop the zero and hope he is back the next week (assuming no backup) or do you trade out the best performing ruckman thus far for what is a potentially minor 1 week injury.

Glad I don't have to make that call.

 

[Ess_don]

Was already looking for potential trade options for HMac but 1wk sounds good and Ill def keep, Giles coming off a great game should do well against Lions/Longer more than happy for him to fill in.

 

[Forward Press]

If it's one week I'll cop it and pray for Orren or Redden to get up. If not then whatever - trades are precious and I won't burn one just for a few ruck points.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

It probably wouldn't be a bad thing to trade O or Redden for Longer. ( I should have done it earlier in hindsite ).

No brainer - you keep him.

If you're going to trade to avoid one zero, good luck dealing with the byes.

 

[chelsea4thewin]

prob good to trade Hmac for a non round 11 ruck option? Sandi for me

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Sandi was considered an unreliable option by many at the start of year. I thought he was cheap and ended up getting him for DT.
Not sure why , 4 games later , hes no longer considered an unreliable option.

He's already missed two games.

Did anyone see Pav's knock to the knee yesterday? He said on twitter that it was sore but ok?

Also, does anyone know what happened to Lachie Neale? I didnt get to see the Freo game.

He got the wind knocked out of him, it was a heavy hit to his ribs, could have possibly cracked one

He was in the rooms at qtr time getting his knee strapped.

He's talking about Neale you guildo.

Agreed, No point trading for 1 week.

However, I wonder how cautious North will be. Goldy is more than handy and I would see North taking a pretty conservative approach should they have any doubt at all over HMac

Christensen to miss two, Bartel set to return:

Jesus, I only traded him in two weeks ago, for two very average scores and now this. Another trade success!

Also agree....

However I am considering a trade to a round 12 ruck now (Sandi?) purely as part of my multi bye strategy to have no 0's in the rucks through the MBR....

 

[Cat for Life]

Do you really think you'll have no 0 in the rucks? Big assumptions that both your bench rucks are going to play through the byes since we haven't seen either of them for weeks.

Fair enough.
In DT I had Cox, Sand, Giles, Redden which would have got me through if they were all playing.

Now I'm going to either cop a doughnut for Redden ( unless by some fluke he plays ) or I'll have to trade him for someone mid-priced maybe Hale or someone. I then recover the money ( when I need it) by trading one of the others for a rookie and keep Hale on the Bench.

Too soon to decide now, wont know until round 9 if Redden will play.
If Goldstein can turn his form around he could be the ultimate upgrade, but he's in the same bloody group as Cox and Giles.

Sorry for the slight confusion....

Currently have Giles, Hale and Hmac (plus Redden), so a swap of Hmac to a rd 12 ruck should see me with no 0's providing they are all fit by having 3 playing rucks with one from each bye....

Still might not do this though, just as risky trading in Sandi as waiting and copping a zero....
