Round 5 - Teams, Trades & Discussion.

[OnSong]

Thinking of giving Devon the axe this week.

Yep. I'll be slicing Devon this week, I think he has a breakeven of around 60

Ha! Classic!

[Q.]

Not many good options for a Smith downgrade

[Banker]

Kyal Horsley from Gold Coast is an option.

19 touches, 8 tackles. 2nd best.

Mature aged rookie. 2nd in the Sandover Medal last year.

128k in SC

[Squids]

I would not be surprised if Smith got dropped this week, starting as the sub is never good.

I'll wait another week to see if Horsley delivers

[Q.]

A good option, except Fritz is in my forwards and I have no F/M link at the moment.

[OnSong]

Eyeing Bower off as trade option too.

[Johno6]

1950 this week, cannot break the 2000 mark.

i saw horsely play and paid a little extra attention to him, and i know it was only one game, but he looked pretty bloody good for a first gamer

[Ron Burgundy]

Eyeing Bower off as trade option too.

x2 - but for who?

Shaw, Wilkes, Nathan Brown...

[LMA]

Eyeing Bower off as trade option too.

x2 - but for who?

Shaw, Wilkes, Nathan Brown...

Duffield. Bower did get 3rd best in the reserves on the weekend, so might get back in the side

[Lightning McQueen]

Eyeing Bower off as trade option too.

x2 - but for who?

Shaw, Wilkes, Nathan Brown...

Spurr isn't far away from a game.

[LMA]

Kyal Horsley from Gold Coast is an option.

19 touches, 8 tackles. 2nd best.

Mature aged rookie. 2nd in the Sandover Medal last year.

128k in SC

Maybe Couch from Melbourne also if he can get a game, heard he was around the mark and at 94k and a MPP could be a good option to have on the bench

[Gingernuts]

Gonna ditch Kruezer this week I reckon, free up some cash for the return of Gazz. Giles consistently posting 100+ on the bench, time to get him on the field.

[OnSong]

I'm getting on Kruezer now....

[Gingernuts]

I'm getting on Kruezer now....

Do it. He'll smash it now I've pissed him off outa my team.

[Lightning McQueen]

I'm getting on Kruezer now....

Do it. He'll smash it now I've pissed him off outa my team.

[Banker]

Porplyzia in doubt for this week vs Sydney

[the wonder elephant]

selwood and walker both got off from suspensions

[Jim05]

Montagna suspended for 2 games

[OnSong]

How did either Selwood or Walker escape bans? Lol.
