Lloyd out …. that’s going to hurt.
Listed as “Knee Soreness”.
Anyone got word on whether it’s just a precautionary rest or if he’ll be in doubt for R23 as well?
Have coverage for both Lloyd and Brayshaw (Bianco and Parker), cash league opponent has Mills, Lloyd and (still) Walker, but only has coverage for one of those three (Bianco). Thinking I might hold off on trading either player out until partway through the round in case I can get away with holding them anyway.
Debutants
*North Melbourne : Charlie Comben ($123k F/R)
Pick 31 in 2019 AFL Draft.
After missing almost 18 months of football with stress fractures in his back and tibia, he’s made up for lost time since his return and will provide a strong marking target up forward. North Melbourne website.
David Noble: “It’s been an unbelievable journey and a real shining light for a young man to aspire to continue to believe and aspire to his dream.”
*Carlton : Brodie Kemp ($123k MID)
Pick 17 in 2019 AFL Draft. 20yo 193cm probable defender.
It’s a significant moment for the 20-year-old, who has overcome knee, back and ankle injuries to enjoy a consistent run of form at reserves level in recent months.
Touted as one of the most versatile prospects in his draft class two seasons ago, Kemp earned his reputation as a defender before also spending time up forward and in the midfield.
It’ll be down back where Kemp makes his start at senior level, having flourished as a defender capable of playing on all sizes and using his reading of the play to intercept in the back half.
Carlton website.
*Carlton : Corey Durdin M/F $117K. Replaces Cripps.
19,173cm,77kg. 2020 NAB AFL Draft second round selection (Carlton) No.37 overall.
Carlton website: “Has electric speed and goal sense, impressing all comers at Ikon Park in his maiden pre-season.”

Last trade gang !!!
Steele – thumbs up
Miller – thumbs down.
ahhhh fudge Lloyd injured now too
Who to swap for Lloyd?
– Rich?
–
Lloyd and Mills both out with no trades, ughhhhhh!
Same but I’ve got 1 trade left
Who should I trade in?
Mills has been in my team for 5 weeks for a total return of 1 game. Some great supercoaching there!
SuperCoach finals will be a case of doing a Bradbury. How many have trades left? Lloyd, Mills, Greene, Bradshaw out as are Briggs, Hurn and O’Brien. At this stage my match up is 19 v 20 unless he has any sneaky trades up his sleeve. And wait for the late outs, Dangerfield, Kelly and Walsh plus any stars rested (managed) at last minute. Goodwin has already flagged his intention. Maybe Oliver or Gawn or Petracca also out late as he probably wasn’t rest them Round 23 v Geelong. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Thanks SuperCoach.
Hmm… could be onto something there with Gawn. Weideman and Smith into the 26 from nowhere and could both help out Jackson. No ROB either for Dees to worry about.
Bah, looks like I’m copping a donut with Lloyd.
I’ll just hold the final trade just in case some diabolical Rd 23 carnage occurs.
no mills, lloyd, atkins
got two trades
i can cover Atkins with Cockatoo
So might just replace the pair SWAM pair
……and you wondered why I had my swanneez on my never again list…..LOL
Heeney to come…???
Can anyone beat 4 donuts this round?
I should win a prize for that!!!
Last 2 trades to be used on LLoyd and Greene, not keen to risk playing my bench cover on field. Which combination gets me the most points next two games?
TU – Hall + Houston
TD – Zorko + Ryan
Comment – Whitfield + Dale
TU – Whitfield Dale
TD – Play Holmes or Bianco and only 1 trade, save 1 trade for next week
I have both Mills and Lloyd out but have cover with Bianco and Durham. I have cover on all other lines, 1 trade left do I trade for either of the two outs, are they back next week or not until there finals?
TU trade they’re both out for the SC season
TD Hold and hope to make the GF
Carlton: Jack Martin (Hamstring) Out for Round 22, Levi Casboult into the 22.
Jack is out for the rest of the season.
Tom Highmore has been withdrawn from Saturday’s match against Geelong and will be replaced by Darragh Joyce.
Hawthorn : James Worpel out for rd 22, replaced by Jai Newcombe.
Worpel failed a fitness test for a foot injury suffered last weekend.
Really unsure of the merits of doing this
TU Trade Bolton/ Bramble and get in one of Butters/ Bailey / Jackson
TD save last trade

Tom Stewart
Geelong Footy GM Simon Lloyd: “Tommy Stewart sustained a foot injury in a marking contest at Thursday’s training. He’s not available this week and we’ll consult relevant specialists over the coming week.”
Ughhh…this finals series is turning into a nightmare. With no trades since Rd 18, Neale, Jelly & Heppell out last week, now Lloyd & Stewart plus cover Highmore this week.
Am I the only one thinking they need to give more trades or have bigger squad sizes from next season onwards? I feel the rate of injuries is much higher than 10-15 years ago, and realistically you need to keep at least 5-6 for finals. Doesn’t leave much scope for building a complete team…
A Carlton supporter told me Cripps is out. No confirmation yet.
Tom Mitchell has (accidentally) revealed that Jaeger O’Meara is a late withdrawal …. Fox Sports tweet.
Carlton website – Durdin to debut replacing Cripps.
Defender Steven May will miss the clash with general soreness and will be replaced in the side by Joel Smith.
“Mayesy was feeling a bit sore throughout the week. We expect him after a full week of training, he’ll be fit and firing for our match against Geelong.” Alan Richardson, GM – Football Performance
