Pretty difficult week this week for many DT’ers – plenty of unexpected players scoring well and plenty of DT guns really stinking it up with some howlers!! The taggers ran riot as did the DT Grim Reaper who has given alot of coaches some headaches with bad injuries (Chad – finger, knee, calf??)….
Pom’s Prices once again proved to be the best pickup advice on the planet with Sam Mitchell scoring 141 and Heath Shaw 132. Well done those who listened!!

Bad news for all Chad Cornes, Peter Burgoyne and Steve Salopek owner as they all go under the knife and will miss 3+ weeks

Rippin Rookie: Palmer (is he even counted) and Mayne, and Kruezer was ok on bench
Injury worries: Purgoyne – will trade for either drummond or birchall
Other comments: The round turned out ok in the end considering i had a lot of poor performances so things are looking good if everyone pulls thier weight. Having JB captain cost me a possible 100 points but im pretty happy with a third 2k in a row.
any thoughts on possible trades for purgoyne?
Score: 1900

Other comments Bad Captain Selection (buddy 49) Stuffed Me!
yeah marcus get birchall
Gaz – goodes injury/suspension issue??
What???
Or Joel Bowden if you can afford him
Pretty sure thats my plan Chad – Bowden if chad gets surgery
wait shit i can’t afford Bowden
i have to go with Birchall too
decided on birchall coz he should drop about 20k which would give me a handy 35k in the bank for later on – im depressed about buying a hawks player though coz they are all wanks
Goodes – made head high bump on melbourne player.
guys y would u touch bowden when only a week or 2 ago richmond were blaming him for a lose and wanting to drop him that was with the other old duds. how about someone like mcleod 2 games of 80 in a row starting to look good again.
btw 1955 with a zero so im happy with how bad alot of my players went. moved up a bit more then 200 spots to be ranked 3502 and probley going to trade judd out for mitchell. what does everyone think about that trade?
yeh could be a good trade dylan because there was talk yesterday during hte carlton game that judd is definately not right. If this is true and they rest judd for a couple or few weeks then trading him is a must.
blooyd spewing i had lenny hayes as me captain this week and was devo when i see that he didnt return after Q1!!!!!!
dylan,
the thing about bowden is that theyve put him back into his cheap backman role again where he racks the points up and if he stays there he could be the best buy of the season. i reckon he’ll average over 100 for the rest of the season.
i couldn’t afford him though so ive made the trade of purgoyne out for birchall
yeah exactly right Marcus
Bowden in that Back Pocket position is a true DT champion – the only reason he’s struggling this year is because he’s been tried in other positions but he’s back there cause the Tigers need his kicking ability to get the ball clear
Score: 2058 (incl a 0 in the backline)
League/Eliminator result: W
I Love: YABLETT!!!! (capt)
I Hate: No one this week, but the game shd surely have 22 trades instead of 20 – just makes sense doesnt it???
I was happy with: Palmer, Shaw (again finally), Fat Stevens, Mattner, GIlbee, Cox, Nick R, Chappy
I was disappointed with: Judd, Lenny getting hurt
Rippin’ Rookie: Morton
Injury/Suspension issues: Hayes, Bradshaw, Dal
Other comments: Dont like to use fwds (ie, buddy) as captains as normally have to rely on others to play well for them to play well, ball getters are the best bet.
but marcus and pom will jake king get that spot back when he come back? at the start of the season it looked like he had that roll. hoe king gets it been i have him in my team.
dylan, king is more of a ball carrier so he runs the ball out of defence with heaps of running bounces whereas bowden is more of a link up player who takes mark and kicks a heap but will not often run with it, there is definately space for both in the side. anyway, mcmahon and king both have a similar style of play and they both get selected to play that style each week. kings return should not hinder either mcmahon or bowdens scores.
Score: 2037
League/Eliminator result: Been out so long, forgot which comp that is.
I Love: Stevens, Chapman, Shaw, Kelly
I Hate: Birdman, Cornes, Judd, Medhurst
I was happy with: Richo, Gilbee, MMurphy, Carrazzo, Pav, Mattner
I was disappointed with: Malceski, Brown
Rippin’ Rookie: MORTON YOU LEGEND! -45 BE this week. I’m in love.
Injury/Suspension issues: Bloody Cornes. Most frustrating pick up of the year.
Other comments: First time this year I’ve cracked 2000! About bloody time. It seems every week that at least 2 of my guns don’t fire.
