[Lightning McQueen]

Will Buddy be back?

Do you burn trades to make the 8?

Is your team settled?

Who'll be this weeks coach killing late withdrawal?

[CoverKing]

Yes i think he will..

Yes you do if you need to make the 8.

Yes, reluctantly.

Hopefully GAJ

[Q.]

2 games for a Grade 1 hamstring tear is on the borderline for full recovery. I don't think they'll risk bringing him back too quickly so close to the finals.

[Groover]

Will Buddy be back?
No, one more week IMO
Do you burn trades to make the 8?
No, sitting nicely atm
Is your team settled?
99% there
Who'll be this weeks coach killing late withdrawal?
hopefully none of my players

Don't you love it seeing coaches smash their trades to make the 8 but leave themselves with no trades come finals time.
You have to have some up your sleeve for the resting players that you do find out about on Thursday's, the ones after that just kill you.

No trades for me until finals time. Going to back in the players I have selected to get me in the 8. Some of them might not be there for the finals though....

So if you are not winning your advice is to save your trades for the bottom eight 'finals'? I'd rather get rolled in the finals than get relegated thanks very much.

They were screwed without him last week.............not. It's a bit scary knowing they have, Buddy, Hodgie and to a lesser degree, Guerra to come back in. I think West Coast could expose them but that's about it.

Sydney pounded them in Tassie. How soon we forget. For some reason people still refuse to rate the Swannies.

I'm just saying in general mate. I have no advice, whatever I do seem's to be the opposite of what I should've done...............or shouldn't have.
Me trading players in tends to give them 3 weeks max before injuring themselves.

Yeah, of course, I did pick them last week at Subi, they just play so well together and work so hard.

I have a few under performing players in both codes, my SC team stinks but I keep getting lucky, my DT looks ok but my premiums rotate spudding up.

Do you burn trades to make the 8?
Yes you must, you have to be in it to win it
Is your team settled?
Like the Christians’ in the Colosseum before letting out the Lions
Who'll be this weeks coach killing late withdrawal?
Petrie, Harvey, Swalllow, Pendlebury, Swan, Beams, Sidebottom, Goodes and O’Keefe

[cossi11]

Will Buddy be back?
No, i heard him on the radio on the weekend saying he hoped to be back against Geelong.
Do you burn trades to make the 8?
I think you do, you want to make the eight to have a chance, just need to get lucky through the finals series is all.
Is your team settled?
I reckon so, i got some trades up my sleeve for finals, not too fussed about HOGG, but sitting equal top in Lobster and just outside top 4 in Pineapple, concentrating on them mainly, so holding off on trades as i am likely to play finals in both.
Who'll be this weeks coach killing late withdrawal?
Hopefully none of my players!

[Media Park]

Nailed 2316 in supercoach last week, which I was happy with, and wins in my next two will see me through to a very undeserved finals spot.
All my players from last week will play, Tom Couch likely to be the unlucky omission for Buddy Franklin if he's in.
I only have one trade left, so I am leaving that for next week if needed, but there really isn't anything to improve on now.
Pav or Josh Kennedy as skipper is the only worry.

My DT is totally screwed, so I just can't wait for that to be over.

[LMA]

Buddy not back, Sidebottom out

[OnSong]

No Buddy, Sidebottom or Robinson! Ack!

[Rik E Boy]

I come home from work and my nine year old son proudly tells me 'Obrien OUT, Scotland IN'. He's done well there. He didn't even know about the general and got Scotland cheap and made a bit of money on Obrien as well as he picked him, got a few good scores and has now moved him on. Cheeky bugger could clean me up in the Piglet Shield. His defence is Deledio, Goddard, Birchall, Scotland, Lake, Enright and Nicholson! EEEK.

So look out in Divvy V or the Bunny if you are playing Bunnyhop as he doesn't have Buddy or Sidebottom either.

REB
