Hogg Shield Season 2009

[BenchedEagle]

Extremely dissapointed to miss Hogg Premier finals by a couple percentage points.
Dropped a few games i shouldnt have! Full focus has turned to claiming lower tier cup now.

[Hondo]

Chapman being out for 2 weeks removes the main disadvantage I had with those REB-ites. I was thinking of bringing him in this week to block the advantage.

That's bad luck. No doubt someone from my team will now drop before the end of the week.

[Q.]

What happened to Chappy?

[Gingernuts]

Hammy, reports are he's out for a fortnight.

[Hondo]

Just realised my "advantage" from this only lasts until round 21 ... he'll probably be back and firing for the preliminary final

[Q.]

Inevitably, the two week injuries turn into three or four week injuries

None of the top four in Div 1 have got him anyway

[CoverKing]

Just got chappy around 4 weeks ago. Sucks he is out. He was my trump player on my way through the div 1 finals. it would have been great to get him up again like he played against the crows.

lucky i have some trades left

!@#$%^&*!!!! Not just with the Hogg but with football in general. Can we please have just ONE week when we don't cop a ******* injury? Did Ross Lyon sell his soul to the Devil last summer or what? NOT A HAPPY CHAPPY.

Hogg Premier League Finals

Qualifying Finals - winner the week off, losers to play winners of Elimination Finals.

REBCats vs. the chardonnays
GordonBlues vs. Black Magic SCE

Well done to GordonBlues who was a bit unlucky missing out on the minor premiership after suffering a costly loss to Hurts so Bad during the year. the chardonnays have also done well who like GordonBlues were elevated from Hogg Division I last season.

well, i'm not sure that my injured brigade will get me over the line this week - but happy to make the finals in the big boy division.
i get the hang of the game next year...perhaps

Apparently Chappy was keen to keep playing but they've sat him out. Saw Thompson on the Sunday Ch 7 footy show and I get the impression that if a spot in the finals for the Cats wasn't sewn up a few of these blokes would be playing through their injuries.

Bomber's just getting his blokes cherry ripe for September, 2nd is sewn up so what's the problem if you drop a couple of games? I'm betting there will be a 'divine' moment at the Cattery that miraculously heals pretty much the entire playing list in about 4 weeks.....

[Hondo]

There's a story out today suggesting that St Kilda might be on the verge of resting star players as well

That would throw more spanners in the works of all out teams

[CoverKing]

will jolly be fit for this week? i have two trades left and with chappy and scarlett out i need to use em on those two and dont want a zero in the ruck as both emergencies arent playing ... mmm that could be the difference in this final against leisa's lovelies

I think Leisa has had bad luck on bad luck because there's a few donuts in her side

I checked because I play her too!

ie, you may not need to burn the trades. Write the 2 teams down side by side and see where you're likely to be at v her before you trade.

yeah i will be doing that, we have some different players a fair bit tho. it will probably come down to the battle of midfields again (hers - judd gibbs bartel hasleby) (mine - ablett corey j.selwood a.selwood)

Well you got your wish Gingernuts, the pessimistic Cat fan is back! I've only had the one divine moment being a Cat fan in over 20 years!

Mate I'm in the same boat. Lucky we aren't playing Black Magic.

[Q.]

Some HUUUGE outs this week (p!ss off Ross Lyon, five outs and you still couldn't squeeze Maguire in there) that could well results in donuts across the board and have a massive effect on the outcome of the first round of finals. To trade or not to trade???

[Rik E Boy]

Ross Lyon you ******* dog! I've opened up a donut shop.

Come on REB, one minute you're complaining cause the Saint have no injuries and now your cursing them cause they do! Gees your a hard man to please.....

[Hondo]

The worry on my St Kilda players is that Gilbert is now out for a second week and apparently Doc Larkin said last night that Goddard's injury is 2-3 weeks

If Nathan Bock pulls out I may need to trade however Leisa's Lovelies can't take a trick with this week's outs so I think I could get away with 2 donuts. I will be carrying at least one. Team at this stage:

B: Broughton, Drummond, Hurley
HB: Newman, Bock, Mackie
C: Pendlebury, Swan, Selwood
HF: Deledio, J Brown, Pavlich
F: Goodwin, Franklin, Harvey
R: McIntosh, Judd, Ablett (c)
Int: Donut, Kruezer, Kornes, Fevola
Emerg: Anthony, M Brown, Spencer
