Polkinghorne has had a 'green tick' since thursday and isn't in the 22?

How does that work?

Really late withdrawal?

Posted (edited)

Polikinghorne still has a bloody green tick!

It's funny, I now have an unrelenting hate for James Polkinghorne...

Congratulations Scarlett - A tough close contest all round.

No Mumford/ No replacement = 2 Very narrow losses

Mummy sort your back out son.

Anyone have a spare Ruckmen we can deal?

Just so we are clear, Mummy is not on the table, I just need a support ruckmen that actually plays.

I had Ian Callinan starting with a green tick. Didn't play!

Going by the closeness of the stats it's cost me the game.

Bloody annoying. Little stupid bugs like this take away from what is a great setup.

RR you should see my dreamteam this week - fyfe, grimes, lake, now carazzo!, young Greene rested at GWS, coniglio a late withdrawal Ffffaaaaarrrrkkkkkk

We have all had our moments, I lost Hille,first rd,Ball for season last week and now it looks likeI'll loose Robbie Gray for the year, but still belted last year's champ 14 to 1.

How did the green tick cost you the game?

Ah. I got all excited. I'm willing to trade Maric and something for Mummy...

I guess I also have Vickery and Cordy that we could talk about?

Gee I hope I don't have to play you again Robbo...

Out of interest, is Carrazzo on the table now?

Actually you're right, it was just bad luck that he was a late withdrawal.

Hopefully I have a run of luck soon or we might have to have a 'tanking discussion' at board level.

Maric & something in mind for Mummy?

Jack Redden, Sam Mitchell or Scott Selwood & we might be very close

PS : Very nice win taking down the self pronounced 2012 Premier "Robbo 24"

Great close match! Maric really came to the fore for you today!

Not sure on Carrazzo. I definitely won't be dumping him as he'll be great value come finals time. He might be available for the right offer though.

Ha. Was a BIG win. 8 point game for sure. And yeah I misunderstood your original trade post. I thought Mummy was up. Never mind...

Still willing to discuss backups though, if you want to have a look.

Great close match! Maric really came to the fore for you today!

I got pretty lucky in the end I think. Maric is a 25 hitout player, who does little else. And he somehow got... well... ALL of the hitouts this week. Hence why I hope I don't encounter you again.

Not sure on Carrazzo. I definitely won't be dumping him as he'll be great value come finals time. He might be available for the right offer though.

Thoughts? Jeez our lists are big. Trading is a tricky prospect.

Ok for all those in dire straits regarding a playing ruck man - Hudson is officially on the table - 33 hit outs last week. He is my one and only ruck back up. Willing to trade for good midfielder as bernie Vince is now out for a week or 2. Otherwise would take an inconstant ruck man, who may be slightly injured or otherwise not playing due to form ( a la Stephan Martin) if packaged with a good midfielder for a package of say Hudson with Moloney for steak knives

I'd put Scully on the table, but I only just got him...

Really not something to brag about there HT - 99.9% of us would feel dirty owning the little Pri-k

He should of been universally boycotted in this leauge in 2012

SHAME

I'll have a look at trades tonight, but obviously with AD tomorrow there isn't much point...

Do we have a 'team isn't set in concrete until Friday' rule for this round?

Because, again, the I Hate James Polkinghorne Fan Club is right here, looking at a green tick...

No doubt he will kill them this week, bringing you another WIN.Gee would love to place you in the lower deck, but think you will belt me again.Loosing Hille, Ball, Gray, and this week SJ really puts me behind the ball game.Also, doing this from Japan, is really hard work.

anyhow, enough excuses.Your odds on and I would not back myself.Your ruckman will win it for you, great strategy having two good ruckman whom gain lots of possessions.Just hope I make it interesting.Take pity on me, please

Good week to play Robbo24, No Carrazzo, no ablett - the door is ajar for me to sneak past. Might need some canny decisions though at selection table still

Posted

What's with the stupid Waiver system this year?

I can't remember having to battle through this red tape last year?

If we needed to top up a player after selection we simply recruited them from the player market.

& the players we bidded for earlier in the week have gone from April 27 to May 1 on the waiver system?

What am I missing here? Was this the same in season 2011?

Posted

Why didn't you offer to trade him when I was begging?

I thought he was worth peanuts given he hadn't played. He'll just as likely be straight out the following week when Sandi returns anyway.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
