WCE:
Luke Strnadica ($102k RUCK) SSP signing.
17 disposals and 29 hit-outs in WAFL last weekend.
Western Bulldogs:
Robbie McComb ($102k MID) Matured aged midfielder.
Pick 23 in 2021 AFL Rookie Draft.
28 disposals last weekend.
North Melbourne:
Paul Curtis ($117k FWD)
19 year old, Pick 35 in 2021 AFL Draft
Kicked 4 goals in VFL last weekend, with 10 disposals & 7 tackles.
Any info about Dempsey for the cats? Or do we just assume he won’t play…
Ollie Dempsey: fwd $102k. 19 year old. #15,2021 Rookie Elevation
From Carey Grammar in Melbourne.
“has kicked bags of four and three goals already in his young career”
“He’s just an excitement machine, he’s got a really good vertical leap,”
“He’s turned himself into a hybrid forward, one of those guys who can play reasonably tall if you need him to but he’s one of our best 2km time triallists.”
“He comes from a basketball background and hasn’t played a heap of representative footy. He played a bit of junior footy,”
“He was quite small and played as a point guard as a basketballer and I think he grew over 20cm over one season.”
Assistant Coach Nigel Lappin

Tim English out after hurting his hammy at training!
Wow no English, what are owners gonna do?
Tu bench him for the week?
TD downgrade to a preuss
Trying to track down extent of injury.
I was going to bring him this week, ooof.
“English will miss the clash against the Crows after sustaining a hamstring injury during training this week.”.
Sent for scans.
Update ASAP
Swing English onto fwd bench. Preuss in.
Big news:
OUT
– English
– Mead
– Dixon
NOT IN
– Hinge
IN
– Cripps
– Gibcus
– Stephens & Baldwin* (EB)
WCE: Hugh Dixon – “Dixon has been impressive forward and in the ruck, but could not be considered because of a calf injury.”
Trading out English would be quite an interesting call as who would be brought it. There is Pruess and Hayes as cheap players but how could we forget a legend in Strnadica who has been in teams for many seasons as a loophole.
It’s now his time to shine! 😉
Love it Nato!
The greatest loophole we have ever seen
Grundy gets a reprieve with his planned replacement (English) missing. Hopefully the hatchet job the media has done on him this week garners a response. 150+ please.
Anyone else love to see Franklin in for Swans which has Heeney on the ball now?! Delicious.
Wouldn’t read too much into that – the chances of Warner and Parker actually lining up in the forward pockets are about the same as me getting a run at centre half forward
A good kickout were you Chillo???
Yeh because AFL Teams line up as selected….. NOT….
Might need to revisit the poll on Grundy + Rowell
Maybe some news on injury extent comes quickly for English and Dixon
Without the Grundy money i cant do much with Rowell
I need a 24 hr long tape of thinking music
What about Benny Hill theme for this round Moonlight???
A Rose in Spanish Harlem – insrumental is more me
-or Moonlight Mile -Stones – I got an instrumental version of this from Limewire when computers were called towers.
Slightly more relaxing than the fastest milk cart in the west but it does have the frenetic beat that suits this round
Cheers Chameleon
Trade out hinge or gibcus this week?
Both not on my field after the trade just helps Daicos become a defender
Preuss rucking in tandem with Flynn.
Going to wait a week and get SHayes instead.
Giants have Crows ( O’Brien – solo), Cats, (Carlton – solo), (Eagles – ruckless) and Lions in the next 5 weeks. Big cash generation should Preuss stand up?
Bomber’s playing games naming Merrett and Stringer.
Best bet for the week Collingwood $1.90 @ -8.5 pts.
As a bombers supporter it reeks of desperation.
Big doubts that either of them will play.
Change of plans was trading in English
Need to bring in another keeper instead Def mid or fwd
Tu Stewart
Td Petracca
Comment De goey
Draft question:
Who will score more as a streaming ruck?
TU: Stef Martin vs Crows
TD: Sam Hayes vs Eagles
Thanks.
Is Jarrod Berry out? Or an emergency?
Named on extended bench, final teams for Sunday’s games will be announced tomorrow evening.
Hi Cheesecake.
Jarrod Berry is on the extended bench for Sunday’s game.
You would expect him to play. Teams are updated tomorrow evening.
Thanks, for alerting me that I had left off players (Berry and Co.)on the extended bench.
Petracca close contact depends on law changes probably out gospel
Law changes Friday midnight in Vic, so as long as testa negative on a RAT on Sunday will be ok to play
Girlfriend positive today how does that affect?
It doesn’t
It does / should affect.
If she has it, very likely he would contract as well … even if a negative test in next day or two … at the very least, it would be irresponsible of him to play / train in close contact with his teammates and opposition …
Interesting news and thanks Ray …
Love when team announcements confirm your trades for the week.
No English is big, was planning on bringing him. Grundy stays.
Given Dixon injury, will most likely swap him out for Preuss (R3) though for the cash gen.
Hinge out is a shame, welcome to the team Oliver at the expense of Rowell. Could go Steele instead with De Boer out but I like Melbournes run over the coming weeks.
Anyone know the level of Dixon injury?
Worth trading to Preuss?
Unknown at this stage as soon as more details are released I will update.
Thanks Legend!
Cheers. My gut is telling me to hold the trade….
“Hugh Dixon will be out for 1-2 weeks with his calf strain.”
Adam Simpson
oh well ,
I think we all have a loophole this week
Jeremy McGovern out of iso today why he is not named
Obviously failed his fitness test today.
Some players take longer to recover.

“Tim English will miss multiple weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury at training on Wednesday.”
Western Bulldogs
2-3 weeks.
Luke Strnadica ($102k RUCK) :
“He’ll ruck with Bailey (Williams). How we split it up, you’ll see him in both the forward line and in the ruck. That’s his primary role at AFL level is to ruck.”
“He came in late pre-season for us, SSP. Really proud of what he’s achieved in such a short amount of time, he’s been embraced by the players. He’s an Eagle for life.”
Adam Simpson
Geelong: Ollie Dempsey – “We haven’t decided on our final team yet. The fact Ollie is in our squad speaks to how far he’s come in a short space of time… He’s performed well at VFL level. He’s taken his chance straight away.”

Rosas in doubt with ankle injury. Reverse Trades!
It is not official but
Mitch Cleary tweet.
“Another late change on the cards today. Gold Coast’s Malcolm Rosas has been in promising form but is dealing with a calf injury. Alex Davies/Jeremy Sharp in line as the inclusion/sub #AFLSunsLions”
who on earth to bring in instead of rosas??
Ollie Dempsey perhaps
Hobbs if you have 30K sitting around.
Or just keep Rosas if you don’t need him on field, It can’t be that serious if they haven’t announced it yet. If he does miss, he should be back soon.
Concur with you FT.
Im just worried if he comes straight back in and how long a calf injury can take.
Tom..
You’d think he comes straight back in.
His forward pressure is elite. loves a tackle. Coaches love that more than goals.
Who ever comes in would have to something very special to keep him out.
Youve convinced me FT!
Also great win by your mob last night, looking like the real deal this year.
Thanks Tom.
Freo looked great. Solid system held up even with some high end talent missing in Young and Chapman. Fyfe back should make us better again. Darcy concussion the only real downer.
Shame about darcy but Meek looked good from what i saw in the first few rounds so not all doom and gloom.
No Nick Hind on the VFL team sheet for tomorrow. Expect him to be the man on standby for Stringer/Merrett
