Round 8 - Teams, Trades & Discussion

[CK]

Glad that I had Kerr from round one in DT, pondering whether to upgrade him to SC also and trade out Tambling to do so. Also need to consider how much David Swallow has left to increase, and whether to trade him out.

How does Harris being out this week affect your thoughts?
As I think a lot have both in the midfield.

Had already shifted Harris to the bench anyway before the injury. Have Krakouer and Swallow there with him in DT, taking the punt on Buckley coming in to replace Harris on field. May change this one just before the bounce though, and go with Swallow. Krakouer listed on Collingwood bench and reckon that Geelong will sit on him tomorrow, so prepared to take the punt he won't score heavily.

Still no Cyril and I'm playing the mighty Hondo. I think I'm trouble.....big big trouble....think I'm trouble....if you're old enough you might recognise that tune.

regards,

DOH!

[Rik E Boy]

Anyone got an opinion if Libba will make the 22?

You can always count on me for an opinion Dutchy, perhaps you should have asked for an informed opinion ha ha. It seems to me that the Dogs are pretty bullish on young Libba. He looks more at home in the top flight than does his running mate Mitch Wallis. They played him right from round one and have brought him straight back into the side after he copped a visit from the General last week. To me this looks like a match committee committed to putting some games into a promising young midfielder.

Grimes, Curnow out - Deledio, I. Smith in

[White Line Fever]

Well all my rookies have been named

Buckley, Batchelor, Helbig, Bewick, Iles

I'll just change Curnow to Swan and sit back and hopefully have the scorers on the field.

Helbig will be an emergency mate IMO

Yes looks like it.

Will put Iles on field and Emergency Bewick (he will probably be sub)

Completely randomly, I play cricket with his dad.

[White Line Fever]

who is the better prospect:

Swan 586k av 133 BE 186
Pendles 539 av 123 BE 130

I'm actually thinking Pendlebury is a better pick up...

[Hondo]

If you intend to get both then get Pendles now and Swan later. If you only intend to get one Collingwood player I'd try to get Swan in regardless of their breakevens.

Agreed!

Tend to agree REB, whether he makes the 22 this week makes a big difference to my strategy.

[hawks21]

Thinking of bringing Jacobs in, do we think he will be the sub for Port?

Brad played against us last year when he was playing for Waikerie. Not a bad effort going from country footy to AFL in 6 months.

The Swandlebury theory

Anyone know how far away Cyril Rioli, And Shaun Higgins are away from playing? Wasn't Higgins out with soreness 2 weeks ago?

[Lightning McQueen]

Both in round 9 according to the site that I use, it's generally pretty much on the mark.

I'd be jumping off Higgy

[Bum Crack]

supposed to be wet tonight. Who's going with Swan or Selwood as captain?? I might go Matty Boyd this week.
