Aaron Hall being dropped is going to be massive this week!
bruh why surely there are worse players at north than can be dropped besides Hall. to bring in who? Bonar? please
They wanted to bring in the Goat(er)
Yeah, tf.
One of their more composed users.
Hahaha my plan to use up all my trades weeks ago so I couldn’t get rid of Hewett only for him to return triumphantly Sunday to pump out a 130+ is working perfectly!!
Good luck to all in finals or going for a big rank rise! Can’t believe it’s nearly over…….I hate goodbyes ……lol
Being the final round of the year probably worth giving the biggest of big shout outs to Chaos Theory for the unbelievably fast team updates every Thursday night and also just general sharing of wisdom across the site!
Awesome work CT!
Agree Jamhed
Awesome work from CT and all SCT contributors
Norf can go and Get F’ed. Seriously Hall dropped! Hope Clarkson clears out that rabble of selection panel or better yet just goes to Essendon and forgets Norf altogether. Or even betterer they get swallowed up by Tassie.
And as for Geel not bringing Duncan back (managed they said!). We’ll that’s just screwed my GF up.
(and special mention to Presus not playing Freo. Using my last stupid trade last week Darcy to Gawn. Champagne Trading that!
