  1. 9 news sports reporter Ayrton Woolley:

    Big watch on Bombers team. Hearing there could be up to five late changes tonight. Jordan Ridley, Jake Kelly and Matt Guelfi all likely to be out as virus sweeps through club

    1. and now my decision in the earlier match comes back to bite …

      what is everyone doing? Burning a trade on Ridley, or if your defence is cooked, eating donuts??

      1. If I had the cash I’d upgrade Ridley because he’s been garbage but hate the options around his price so will eat his donut and cry.

        1. yeah Tom – that’s the problem with late notice from clubs … so many options played already.

          There’s still a few that are possible season long keepers if you have the cash – what does everyone think – are Docherty, Sinclair and Dawson season keepers / premos in Defence??
          T/U – yes
          T /D – no – and if no, which ones??

          Has Sinclair dropped off a bit lately? Role change? …
          Is Doc good to hold for the season?

      2. Honestly, if you’ve got the trades and the coin just sack Ridley.

        Ass role, locks down (eg. Naughton last week), gets stuck accounting for other opp. FWDs given how pathetic the Dons “backline” are and has barely any HB and kick in economy because he’s surrounded by greedy seagulls who just want to pad their stats.

        Through no fault of his own really, he’s been horrific in SC this year.

        …if you can’t tell, yes, I started him lol.

        1. Hey Gunboat , on Ridley, I actually don’t own him but..who do you trade him to though ?

          Most of the good defenders have already played. Theres only really Doc who’s kinda pricey or Dawson who hasn’t really got going yet..

          Anyone else you like ?

            1. Yeah I saw you went Sinclair. He looks the best of what’s left.
              He was a little off last week but that game was played in terrible;e conditions. I hope he goes well for you.

          1. I’m facing the dilemma tonight. Trying to trade someone out of a r12 bye and no one really fits the bill well who hasn’t played yet. Will eat the donut lose a couple matchups and go from here.

        2. Yeah GD I started him too … he did bang out 115 last week … It’s been a bit of a nightmare with all Bombers … and for them in real life …

          It’s a nightmare really … if I hadn’t have left things before the last match, and swapped Daicos to def, it wouldn’t be an issue … now looks like a donut … schiesse!

  5. Regards Sinclair, i have him, thought I noticed a bit of role change 2nd 1/2 last week. More lock down. Hopefully a one off.

  6. Superb from Hobbs just then.

    Clanger but then hunted, chased, tackled and made up for it. Love it.

    1. I brought him in last week for a return of 13 – wasn’t too happy then, but his score this round has renewed my faith (too bad it wasn’t on-field though).

  7. Ahhh bugger could’ve put Macdonald on the field instead Rosas didn’t know he was a late in .

  8. Wow that would have really hurt me if I owned Ridley as i wouldn’t have had the chance to switch him due to work hours.
    Also haven’t had Hewett so avoiding both of them from the backline as doughnuts this week.
    Whitfield, Ryan and Blakey from round 1 weren’t the best either however

    1. I have both….but also have SDK and P McCartin on bench….had to trade Ridley as badly need win…..Zorko did a nice job and 94 from e McCartin did the job too.

  9. Geez Bombers coach is a Muppet – their best mid all year has been Martin and tonight he’s not playing that role, but more up as a half forward … plain dumb when they need a win … they need him in the middle hunting the ball more … hasn’t made one single tackle as yet …and low CP numbers

      1. he’s a bloody good player Martin … Bombers better do the right thing with him and also play him correctly … lifetime player … looks so clean and poised on the ball.
