Round 5 Teams Discussion

[drummoyne]

Brown and Simmonds out for the tiges will burn a few teams.

Brings back memories of bowden last year.

Was hoping to see Sidebottom make his debut this week!

 

[Invigoration]

Good to see big Gusto getting thrown into the number 1 rucking role.
Good kid.

 

[DonMania#5]

6 rookies for me this week

 

[Pie Legend]

Coughlan back finally, should lift Tiger fans. Wouldn't affect too many DT's though.

 

[Ebert and Ernie]

Adcock named on field...

 

[iluvparis]

Hmm going to be a nervous 24 hours in the Paris change rooms.

6 rookies (minimum!) to line up for me too.

 

[Invigoration]

oh dear. thank christ for nahas, skippy out...he's in. wonder when/if ngb will be back.

What are you doing trading to Nahas?
Nowhere near a certainty to retain his spot beyond the week, surely you have better options? A downgrade in the mids and upgrading skippy would be more logical.

Or have a look at Benny Warren, I'd definitely go him over Nahas.

 

[Jaymin]

Adcock named for the Lions.

Tippaz would be jizzing, hes been talking up his selection of Coughlan from rd 1 as the move of the century.

It was either Warren or Nahas. I only have Beams and Rich in the mids so can't downgrade there. The thing with Warren is that I don't trust Laidley, haven't seen him play though, so I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

What's the bet Freo are the last team to lodge their team lists to the AFL?

 

[Pie Legend]

Haha, exactly my first thought.

 

[blues4flag]

Ah crap...Nathan Brown out with no replacement.

 

[iluvparis]

What's the bet Freo are the last team to lodge their team lists to the AFL?

Odds on.

Probably forgot to adjust for daylight savings last week.

 

[Juzz]

What's the bet Freo are the last team to lodge their team lists to the AFL?

Yep, I would put money on it

 

[DT_fanatic]

Anyone thinking of sideways trading NGB to Roo?

 

[Benno_900]

Damn it, 6 rookies for me this week.

Who is your 7th mid/Bench mids.

I'd be pretty cautious with Nahas, I don't think he'll retain his spot for long... The bloke isn't up to AFL standard.
Brown will be back within a week or two (once his fake injury blows over) and push him out probably.

Do you have to fully downgrade to a rookie? There are some decent players around Skippy's price. Krak (if you don't have him) or even Shannon Cox are worth looking at.

I didn't realise how slim rookie forwards were... You already have Walker/M.Brown?

 

[Juzz]

Cheney and Collier both named on extended benches for Melbourne and Brisbane respectively...

 

[Haydos]

Odds on.

Probably forgot to adjust for daylight savings last week.

Its only 3:30 in Perth, quite possibly they have a training session on as we speak.

 

[Pie Legend]

Who are we still waiting on?

WCE, Freo, Swans and Geelong?

Anthony

Yeah I already got 'em both. Like most other teams.

And yeah it's best for my team that I do, I need some cash to upgrade Petrenko/Dempsey/Hill to one of the falling cats. Only have 7k. I'll see if I can get some info on Warren on the north board, unless there are some roos' supporters here willing to offer some info?

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Mitch Robbo's omission from this weeks Carlton team has now confirmed that he'll be my first rookie downtrade for the season.

Thanks for the first few promising games budd!
