Probably back issues I think this is going to be carried throughout the year and therefore in and out of the team. I hate to use a trade but he has to go.

You serious? I’ve been stressing about Fyfe/Shaw trades. I’ve got Lake, Smedts, Ellis, Goodes, Smith, Redden, Dickson, plus Fyfe, Shaw and Mummy.
On the positive side , I haven’t traded yet. This may be in part due to being sober for the last month. That is about to change! Drunk trading here I come. Don’t always make the best decisions whilst under the influence (just ask my wife) but they are decisions non the less.
I’m thinking Shaw out, Goddard back and Barlow in. Fyfe to lewis thumbs up.
Don’t trade, cop a donut or two and wait for next week. Not trading is a decision too.
Or give me a couple of hours and I may end up with cornes in my team.

Gee I hate these late withdrawals

Really throws a spanner in the works and gives you no time to work out a plan. Its hard to know with Mumford. This will be his second miss. If that was all I would keep him but when its back issues and he is not scoring highly then you really have to consider getting shot of him

Twitter saying Birchall didn’t make flight I cant verify that but Carrots is a very good pick anyway. But I would keep Lake he is going to make money and in a perfect world will be a good D7 keeper.

Ive gone Mummy – Sandilands pretty sure he’ll carry this back problem all year even if he rests. Sur

Brought Toby Greene in last week as I thought he was gonna be a great cash cow in the GWS midfield. This week he has been omitted due to ‘soreness’. Does anyone have any inside info on his withdraw? Is it really soreness or could it be something bigger? I’m hoping he doesn’t do an Isaac Smith…

stupid mummy :( really didn’t want to make a trade this week, saying that i kind of need to otherwise i’ll have a donut in my rucks. so does anyone know much about kreuzer? i haven’t seen him play yet, he’s had ok scores 125, 100, 83 They are good scores but not very consistent and they are getting lower…. i’d like to bring him in instead of sandi so i have a lot of extra $$$ but i’m worried he isn’t going to score anywhere near as high. also what will happen when warnock comes back?

thumbs up- go with big sandi
thumbs down- bring in keuzer and pocket some extra ca$h ;)

comments would be great :)

I think i will get a lot of thumbs down but Carlton played two easy teams first up for those 100s then Colliwoobles for the 83. Plus Warnock still needs to come back. All these variables in my mind mean that he wont be a keeper (top 4 ruckmen) and he wont be very good cash cow therefore not worth the trade. Sandi has the turf toe worry and Lyon resting him during year. So both options have pros and cons.

Warnock might not get a spot back in the Blues if Hampson keeps his current form.

What Ya Mean April 20, 2012 at 5:58 pm

i would go sandi. i havent seen any issues with his turf toe this year, obviously it could flare up but he could also go throught the whole year without an issue.

I would also highyl consider hmac – cheap option and looks to be taking over as the #1 ruckman at north.

another opton is ryder or kruz but i think ryder would be better option only coz he seems to love being the lead ruckman, floating up front and down back as he see fit.

in saying this the list is as follows:

sandi
hmac
ryder
kruz

hope it helps, but somehow i think it will cause u a bigger headache

Thought i’d rephrase my post.
My current ruck set up is Mummy and S.Jacobs, with Giles and Redden on the bench.
Already made one trade (Dickson to Treloar.) At the moment, i’m leaning towards benching Mummy, despite his average form and back woes.

Thumbs up – You might as well keep him, trades are precious !
Thumbs down – It’s the back you clown ! has to go now !
