[Jono]

You will get smashed.

Btw, did you read Mark Robinson's article on who Essendon should trade? Agree with his comments?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That's my DT gone for the week. Cloke, Kozzy, Shaw (c). Done.

 

[Jono]

A lot of people had Shaw as captain this week.

Not me. Its raining on a Saturday afternoon, and the king of wet weather football Jimmy Bartel is playing Richmond on the G.

Easy 150+ x 2 pts coming my way.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I don't have any players from Geelong itbt.

We'll put in a better effort this week, certainly worth a crack at 7.50 head to head.

Robinson is a deadset goose. He wants to trade a club champion in Lucas (ridiculous) and our 2 of our top 3 midfielders in Stanton and Winderlich (yeah thats gonna help us improve )

The rest of list was spot on but anybody could pinpoint Monfries, Laycock, Johns, Lovett-Murray, etc as tradebait.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I mainly wanted to know what you thought of Lucas and Stanton.

If you could get Stanton for a top 5 pick, would you take it?

Tough one... probably would but i doubt any teams would cough up a top 5 pick for him. Draft picks are overrated somewhat by clubs.

 

[Jono]

With the Gold Coast and West Sydney team coming though, top draft picks just became a whole lote more valuable.

maybe so but i prefer proven over potential.

 

[ash chaulk]

yeah i agree with that mike. Draft picks very overated, everyones after the next Judd or Franklin. But they end up with average high draft picks like polak or Tambling (altho they are both coming along now.)

in other news Richardson is a god. Hope the tigers get over the line.

 

[Jono]

Richmond lost their way in the 3rd quarter. Cats just lifted.

Gun come back from the Hawks against Port as well.

 

[Johnners]

Franklin = Freak

Brave stuff from Mitchell to come back on after being knocked out cold.

 

[Jono]

Btw, Trent Cotchin

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

About time the **** played. Was good.

 

[pasag]

Dire.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Ffs Roos. Pull yourself together.

 

[Johnners]

Dire.

Had a good week so far with the picks.

On superbru, I picked Collingwood by 9 and the Hawks by 14 to bag the margin bonus points (for being closest to the actual margin in your league). I think I was also closest in the Geelong game, picking them by 24; next nearest being 47.

For the record, the remaining picks were:

Brisbane by 38 (highest margin in pool, so a high scoring win for Brisbane will bag me another bonus)
Roos by 32 (not gonna happen)
Adelaide by 52
Sydney by 12 (lowest margin pick in pool)
Bulldogs by 18 (mid-tier. Have to basically hit the exact margin to get the bonus)

 

[pasag]

Roos by 32 (not gonna happen)

Could still happen. 7pts ahead with the momentum going into the 4th...
