Round 1 - Teams, Trades & Discussion

Selwood had the big C for me great start!

[Bum Crack]

Selwood posted on twitter that he's had 14 stitches in the lip, but is feeling fine.

be interesting to see if he plays next week, due to the new rule on concussions. Wouldn't surprise me if the AFL don't allow him to play next week. Either way, I'll be sticking with him because the bloke is a gun and will be posting massive scores this year.

He was on target to gather 30 possessions too. Definitely a keeper and fingers crossed he does play next week, although the AFL love making examples early in the season, so it wouldn't surprise me if they stopped him from playing.

the new rule on concussions.

I thought that just stopped them coming back on the field for the rest of that game. It can stop them for the following week too?

Apparently yes.

Though, as I understand it, you can be knocked out but not suffer concussion. From all reports so far, Selwood has no signs of concussion.

I hope you're right. I'm likely to rage if all I got for my $570k was 24 points over two weeks.

Selwood's concussion is gonna hurt me, but not as much as not having Swan in my while my opponents have him as Captain

A big risk not having Swan (165) and I went that way as wel. I went for Pendles (122) instead. Effectively what we are hoping for is that extra cash spread over other areas of the ground is going to make up that difference which is 43 points in my case. I made changes to my team in the partial lock out but went out and got pissed insted of taking the C off Judd which has cost me about thirty points. Luckily though my Hogg opponent has a really dodgy team so I've been let off the hook I reckon I'm pretty much home already.

This is sweet as my opponent this week is Woggy who has beaten me for the last three seasons in a row so I'm going to enjoy this one.

I jumped off Otten based on Neil Craig's comments about the sub. I ended up starting Smith and he ended up as the sub!

Doh

Same, I went Pendles over Swan. The free cash allowed me to bring in Cox rather than Jolly, so hopefully I can make up points there.

[Trader]

No swan here either, and I traded out Tapscott on friday, two big blunders to start the season!

[Rik E Boy]

ROK 141, Adam Goodes 63. That is all.

[CK]

Wanted to give Andrew Krakouer a week before placing him in the starting lineup, leaving him as an emergency. Went with Kane Lucas instead in the midfield. Great start . May also rethink the Ryan Gamble, after a fairly moderate start.

Tapscott 113, Grimes 83 go figure!

Tapscott and Heppel were very handy.

Richardson 10 touches to half time too.

Richardson has been great today, 17 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles.

Need to trade Mark LeCras out tomorrow, sounds like a long term groin injury there.

[Pup]

Cox was excellent.

160 +

[Q.]

Ugh, an ugly start for me, losing all four leagues. Disappointing scores from a number of premiums - Selwood, Boyd, Franklin, Goodes - let me down.
