  2. So tempted to trade out Preuss for Gawn. Means I will have 17 on the field this week. Could get to 18 but that involves doing 4 trades which I don’t want to do, as it uses my last boost plus only gets me the one premium (Gawn) anyhow. Not too worried about Gawn’s bye next week. More worried about WHY Preuss still isn’t playing, especially as he is my R2. Plan was to do 3 trades this week – completing my mids with trade in of Merrett..

    TU: Trade out Preuss, SDK & McComb for Gawn, Wehr & Owens. Final mid upgrade can wait till next week and final forward upgrade in R15.

    TD: Hold Preuss, he will be back surely, finish off mids with Merrett tonight, then finish off Forward line next week with Bont.

  4. I was tossing up all week about which 2 out of Walsh, Kelly and Parish do I trade in.
    I went for Walsh and Kelly.
    I have even stuck the VC on Walsh
    Have I done the right thing?

  5. Lmao. This Carlton ball movement through Essendon like butter.

    How are you leaving a FWD by himself 40 seconds in!?!

    1. Freezing my ass off at the game GD and this has been evident for not only the entire first half but for the entire year.

  6. Walsh 2 handballs and a kick = 7 points. Can someone explain how that works out. Non Walsh owner.

  7. Parish 39
    Walsh 32
    Only 1/2 time though there will be a lot of nervous players who spent $1.24 mil bringing in those 2 this week

  8. Whilst disappointed with new recruit Walsh’s first up score not totally unhappy.
    It just means I will have to put the C on Kelly who I expect to go HUGE against North

  10. Well, it’s official … Bombers suck, especially under Rutten … he has to go.

    And Zerrett also a wasted trade … anythging bombers is poison I think for the rest of this year … so disappointed …

      1. yep a good call all around … never really rated Houston … I’m kicking myself somewhat as bought into the Zerrett hype … I was considering Doc and moving Sinclair into the mids … looks like that was the move I should have made …

  11. Merrett not a train wreck and hoping he can build to a 105 average player. I’m just happy for warm bodies on field this round

    1. I’m hoping the same. Still fairly disappointed his second half was worse than his first, considering Parish wasn’t there. Might’ve partially been lack of ability for the Bombers to win possession at stoppages

      1. he was sitting on the bench for a long time in the last quarter … very disappointing for Bombers and very annoying from SC perspective … especially with Parish out … he should have stepped up / been allowed to step up … something stinks at the Hangar … and it smells like Rutten to me!!

  12. The genius of mathematics and logic doesn’t work for a SC hypothesis.

    I also took Zerrett ahead of Docherty because of the lower BE….

  13. Seeing Zerrett with not the best performance, meant Prestia was slightly better.
    Would still love higher scores but doing better than Zerrett is always a positive for my gut decision.
    Also have an extra 20k to spend which could be pivotal for a future trade.
    I now hope this isn’t a one off result for me

  14. Go Blues! Pleased to see the Filth in total disarray.I think James and the Richmond back pocket back in the fold would be gold.

    1. Aaaaah River…..sticking to that noble Aussie tradition of kicking when someone is down. Says more about you than anything.
      Your rabble, despite everything that bombers have gone through in recent years, remain the worst performing club over the last 25 years.
      And do take note of the T/u and T/d numbers above. This is not the place for your vitriol and hatred.

      1. hey wighty – Im a blue but i have a soft spot for the bombers – they’ve been through hell and i don’t subscribe to petty rivalry trash talk – i hope the bombers can recover sooner rather than later

  15. Unlucky for Parish owners. Can’t see dons rushing him back anytime soon

    As for Walsh people need to relax sheesh… He is a jet and a top 6 mid. DE is slightly down but like brayshaw they are both young and future brownlow medalists
