Round 8 Discussion

[manboob]

Mind you, Saunders avg is like 24 so not like him playing is a big plus. Will be 3 doughnut in like 3 weeks if I leave Gibbs in.

Hopefully everyone else trades him out then he comes back and punishes them against Brisbane and GWS.

 

[manboob]

Chapman (FFS ),

DON'T JUST DON'T! Such a heartbreaker. I finally dumped him for Stevie J last week and will never look back.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Well bugger be both neade and stevenson playing losing me cash.

 

[Krujan]

Changed my trades since Heath has been dropped.

Yarran -> Priddis
Heath -> Thurlow

Chapman (FFS ), Gibbs, Shaw & Crouch still warm the bench for me this week but at least I have 3 playing emergencies (Neade, Macaffer, Gawn) which is much better than the past couple weeks!

Neade no certainty to make the final 22

Is anybody taking into account the byes at this stage?
I wanna bring in Stevie J or Dustin Martin. Martin would fit my bye structure perfectly but Stevie J would mess it up.
Having 5 Geelong players will kill me come round 12 I think...
Stevie J or Dusty?

I'm thinking the only real way of getting through the bye is having a healthy side and having depth in the bench. But if there's a decision like that go dusty.

Hanley vs Franklin is killing me.

Backline has no donuts but looks like shit with H.Shaw on the bench and L.Brown on the ground with Stevenson and Turlich.

Scared though that if I don't get Buddy in that he will rip out a 180 against GWS.

He is the perfect vc to use this week too with the captain loophole.

WTF do I do???

JUMP ON BUDDY!!!

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Great, no chappy or gibbs again.

By the time they come back I'll be putting them on the bench because they'll be F7 & D7 anyway!

The only thing I'm thinking is if franklin gets rested and nic nat is looking goods in 4 weeks after the bye.

You'll have awesome bench depth come finals time mate. I'm envious!

If I was struggling in my cash league I would trade but can't see the point ATM, just pissed of with low scores. I'm 50/50 this week & should win next week.

JM - read your own post - you've answered your own question - welcome mr 8 goals franklin to the judd magic crew

Ha! Ha!

Yeah I think its the red vino I'm drinking that is not trusting my gut instincts by going with Buddy.

My forward line would look awesome with Buddy in it.

J.Kennedy the weakest link at F6.

Cox, Rockliff, Bartel, Franklin, Martin, Kennedy (Dwyer, Macaffer)

Neade would be getting traded to Franklin this week if I got Buddy in.

well enjoy your shiraz and welcome mr franklin to the crew!

 

[KardiniaPark]

I can imagine Judd_Magic going through a whole bottle while reversing his trades 46 times and eventually end up with the same trade he started with. It's all about the process

 

[BuddysBuddy23]

Anyone else feel there may be more changes to the Hawks line up this week apart from Gibson? I can see any of Buddy,Roughy,Lewis,Hodge,Mitchell,Birchall,Burgoyne or Sewell having a spell

 

[TurboBreuster]

I think it will be 2 max and wouldn't be surprised if there are none, especially with the bye only a few weeks away. Round 14 (Lions in Tassie), Round 17 (WBD) and Round 20 (Saints) are the danger games.

That's easy. You put in Franklin as he's bottoming out, you wait on Hanley because he's at his peak. Geez how did you get in the top 200

 

[Spider Eater]

Do you think there's any chance Hawthorn might be cautious with Buddy and sub him off sometime in the 3rd... they did bring in Spangher who played forward a lot pre-season and is the likely sub.

If Buddy has scored 13 goals by 3rd quarter time then yes, Clarko might sub him off.
Job well done

Not really. A huge percentage boost here could be as good as an extra win when sorting the top 2 or 4.

We would still complain. 180??? WTF HE COULD HAVE GOT 210 IF THAT MORON LEFT HIM ON!

 

[BuddysBuddy23]

Cant wait for things to kick off tonight. Should be a good match!

I have Cox,JJK,Lecras and Priddis tonight. After my Eagles players all put in sub par performances last week(Didn't have Priddis, traded in this week) i will be looking for 450 from these 4 boys.

 

[KardiniaPark]

Priddis VC & hope Magic Door can make some more cash on the bench. Direct Swap to NikNat in a month
