All I have to say is I don't care because

1) I don't have him and
2) I've got the bye in all three of my leagues after 3 wins putting me straight through to prelims!!!

Yeah baby!!!

Nick Riewoldt is an issue. Might have to use the last trade then ride it out....

i don't think so, i read somewhere he may miss this week also making it 6 weeks on the sidelines. That game against GWS was really worth it huh!

i read he tweeted "cant wait to play this weekend, longest 5 weeks of my life".
but he could still miss.

Watching a Hawk game the other night and there was Buddy tweeting in the box. Camera goes right to him. Yep it's all about you LOL.

maybe not......

it wouldnt surprise me if they didnt risk him knowing its against the suns also

Have the week off Buddy. One of the few good moves I've made this season is not selecting him. He has only burnt me once all year with that goalfest in Tassie. He has however, burnt his owners many times over this season.

And earlier on in the year as well when he was missing sitters and carding sub ton scores. Not great if you've paid over 600k for the guy.

Really?

At the time of his injury he was the highest averaging forward, and hardly lost any money (rare among premiums) and probably in 99% of the top 10K (or whatever) teams. You then had the choice of either
a) trading him out and freeing up cash for other upgrades and improve your ranking or
b) holding him, save a trade for the big finals, and get an advantage on the trigger-happy managers who traded him out (at a time when you should have an extra premium as bench cover, which wasn't that hard to achieve this year thanks to Zorko's emergence)

So I have been very happy with him, even though I took option b and he is still sitting on my bench!

I also took option B but I was happy to carry him for three weeks, not 5 or 6!!
Meantime, I've been playing Porplyzia when I could have been playing Beams

Rioli out for 3-4
Franklin may miss again, rumours of him being given a club imposed ban for his driving antics.
Looks to be some decent returns this week with Judd, Ryder, Stanton, Zaharakis and Sandilands all putting their hands up to play

Yep. I've lost one match all year to not having Buddy and I've scrambled into my top eight winning matches against Coaches that did have him (Before you say AH HA, my defence was horseshit ). Don't care about the top 10k even though I have now risen to join their ranks since coaches have opted to select option A or option B. It would have been nice to see his average pre-Roo cull because plenty of coaches would have been worried about his erratic form. He then got into top form before the Hawks stupidly chose to play him when he was unfit against the GWS Giants. So you are welcome to have him on your bench and he may miss again this week (wouldn't worry you though as you have the week off ).

Reluctantly got rid of Buddy two rounds ago to maximise my chances of making top four.

Very happy getting Beams in for him - 144 and 170 in the last two weeks - as I made the top four and am now in a Prelim!

This thread is lacking carp,

here are couple of Mirror Carp I caught a few months ago

Bloody Ryan Hargrave getting done for striking...
I had a look at it and there is no way in the world he won't accept the week ban.
Unless Tyson Goldsack is back this week, that'll be a donut for me.
