He only cost $100k. He's value for money, and is great back up in the ruck. Saves around $50-100k to be spent elsewhere, and he'll definitely go up in value allowing him to be traded off for someone else as a cash cow.

Yeah good point.

Who's going to win today? I have a feeling the hawks will turn it on today and win by 5 goals.

 

[Jono]

Melbourne should get up, McLean or no McLean.

Hawks should put Hodge in the midfield from the first bounce. Go at them straight away.

I wouldn't mind the Dees losing, because I'll then chuck some on them to make the top 8. I'll be doing that with Freo this week (or may wait till next week since, even thought they beat WC twice last year, can't see them doing it this year), and was hoping to do it to Adelaide as well if they lost to the Doggies yesterday.

 

[Hoggy31]

Can you back Freo for top 4?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Jesus the Dogs were absolute **** yesterday. I'm that disappointed, they came up against a side who was hard at the ball and committed and we were just soft as butter.

I've predicted a break out season for Giansiracusa for the last four years, and every year the guy has let me down. He needs a stint in the VFL, so does Farren Ray.

Brian Harris comes back in next week, and not a week too soon. I still think the Saints will flog us (again) and have us sitting at 1-2. Shame really.

 

[Sir Don Bradman]

Great win from the cats

 

[Hoggy31]

Melbourne really struggling without Neitz, whole forward line structure's collapsed.

 

[Johnners]

Melbourne doing as they did last week, dominating the first 20 minutes then getting hammered for the rest.

 

[Johnners]

Hawks did their best to throw a 42 point lead.....but were the deserved winners in the end, Melbourne needs to harden the **** up in the 2nd & 3rd quarters, which is where they've lost both games imo.

 

[mikeW]

Dees look set for a bottom 4 placing imo.

 

[ash chaulk]

only good enough to be an emergency but doing a job while cox is out

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

1950 points this week in DT. Ecstatic.

 

[Jono]

Missed Cox again and didn't name an emergency, and didn't name one for Burton because I'm an idiot.

Trade time now, I think I know what I'll do but I'll take the week to think about it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I've basically given up on DT already. Doing much much better in Supercoach, so I'll stick with that one.

 

[Hoggy31]

Haven't named a captain, any emergencies or done a trade yet.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Just went and edited DT then. I had like 4 non-scorers in the forward line.

 

[Matteh]

That explains why i'm ahead of you two then. Would love to know Gelman's excuse.

Had 5/5 and got ****ed over in the last 3 games.

 

[Linda]

Youve basically got more tips correct in 2 weeks than you did for the entire 2006 season.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I take solace in the fact that I'm in the top half.
