THE PANIC ROOM – Round 20
Here we are, folks. Finals have arrived. And with it, absolute bloody carnage.
But that’s what this game is about. It takes those of us who can thrives in the fires of crisis and thrusts them onto a beautiful marble pedestal, far above the cesspit of scuffling and fighting in the mud below.
Apparently. You get a lot of these metaphors. While parallels to the trenches are uncanny, it’s more like a set of small, muddy mounds where everyone is shooting cold water and water balloons at each other instead of lead and shells.
It’s still miserable, but.
And some of us, like this humble reporter, are out of ammo. We’ve used all our water balloons, and our water pistols are running on empty.
So community, let the high stakes game of dodgeball begin.
BUT BEFORE WE DO – we’ve still got this CoachKings caper coming along in leaps and bounds and I’m so bloody proud. I’ll be down at the Vaulcuse Hotel in Richmond along with Jock, Higgo and Lek TONIGHT for Richmond vs Collingwood.
Come down for a beer & #CoachKings @VaucluseHotel tonight, we’ll be there. Win & your life will be forever changed: pic.twitter.com/No7LAvk3zA

We’d be rapt if you game in, had a drink with us, played some CoachKings – and then maybe help with the search party for The Crouching One afterwards. Crouching old mate, if you’re reading this – come home, son. Although the silly twat’s probably blind drunk from sinking the nation’s rum reserves. And to be fair, if I were a Richmond supporter I’d probably join him.
THE NEWS
Tom Liberatore is gone for the season and needs to be gone from your sides. The magnificent, beautiful young stallion has run his race in our Supercoach sides for the year, and needs to be taken out to the back paddock. However, Matthew Boyd is back for the Dogs. Matthew Suckling is still out, as the notorious Suckling PiG’s Achilles is still not doing… whatever it is Achilles heels do. Crows ruckman Sam Jacobs hasn’t pulled up from his game against Essendon last week. The Big Sauce went down 10 minutes in, and the Crows will understandably take no chances with him. Hasn’t missed a game since 2012 so a huge blow to those who have him. Stef Martin is also still struggling to get up from his hip complaint and will miss this week’s game against the Crows, which leaves Archie Smith up against debutant Reilly O’Brien, who is replacing Jacobs.
Leppitsch says Stef Martin ‘unlikely’ to play v Crows, Ribs, hip and knee niggles
— Greg Davis (@GregDavis_cmail) August 4, 2016
Shattering for Stef owners, who have stuck with his putrid performances all year and now have to put up with his buggered hip. It’s bloody disappointing he hasn’t been able to get up for us in finals, especially after he won us so many in 2014. Any poor bastard with a massive POD ruck setup might be hit very, very hard this week, but may welcome the news Mason Cox is back for the Pies after Darcy Moore’s hamstring let him down last week. Jordan De Goey has also been dropped. The high-leaping Nic Naitanui is BACK. Those with Scott Lycett should have another week or so as Nic Nat works his way back into the swing of things, Dylan Shiel has had done something to his groin, which may or may not have been a result ofhis extensive screwing over thousands of Supercoach teams on weekly basis for most of the year. He should miss a week, but it’s still disappointing from the man dubbed #TheRealDealDylanShiel, which my attorney advices me is the most blatant case of false advertising since the film The Never Ending Story. Essendon’s resting policy over the past month of the season is warming up with Orazio Fantasia having a spell.
Woosha says we’ll probably be resting some of our younger players over the next 3-4 weeks.
— Essendon FC (@EssendonFC) August 2, 2016
However, Woosha Worsfold has said he’ll be resting players like Zach Merrett, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Darcy Parish David Zaharakis, Michael Hartley and Matty Dea over the coming weeks as Essendon ramp up their finals prepar… wait hold on.
IN BREAKING NEWS, TEAMS THAT WON’T MAKE FINALS AREN’T GIVING A STUFF ABOUT OUR FANTASY FINALS. Bastards.
Mitch McGovern and Scotty Thompson from the Crows is having a spell, which I fear Adelaide will continue to do the closer they get to ACTUALLY playing finals (you hear that, Woosha?). Sloane Ranger owners should be mildly worried.
Melbourne are to unveil another top 10 draft pick in Sam Weideman this weekend, but at the expense of Josh Wagner if anyone has him for cover.
Kane Lambert has been dropped from the Richmond side, Cyril Rioli and Tex Walker returns, Scott Selwood will play his first game for the Cats and Nick Malceski is out injured.
A word of warning as well… Sam Menegola from the Cats is in the bottom three emergencies for Sunday’s side against Essendon… double and triple check he is named before you trade him in this week!!
THE PATCH UP
The beautiful, magnificent podcast covered what to do with Tom Liberatore in depth, so I won’t cover him here, and Lekdog as always has done a majestical effort patching up around the grounds. However, our ruck lines have taken a pounding this week with Sauce Jacobs and Big Stef still out, and I’m going to have a slightly more in depth look at the ruck options if you need to trade.
I’d hold Jacobs if you’ve got cover, hold. If you don’t have cover, you need to assess how many trades you’ve got, and if you can win with a donut. If you can’t, HIT THAT T on Sauce. I’d look at ditching old mate Stefan Martin either way. . His hip’s obviously not right, and Brisbane have nothing to play for now they’re clear of the bottom. Besides, they will continue to play the impressive Archie Smith over the back end of the season in tandem with Martin when he returns.
And do we remember the last time Stefan shared rucking duties?
Those are the four games Martin played alongside Trent West earlier in the year, and they make for sobering viewing. I don’t think Martin will play to this level, but I don’t think the resurgence we’ve seen over the past month will continue when he returns, and in the finals there can be absolutely no passengers.
So who do we bring in for him?
IN THE PREMIUM CORNER:
Obviously if you have the cash, Max Gawn is your man and then some. Genuinely surprised he hasn’t ripped someone open and feasted on their innards this season. Just pick him. Absolute jet.
If you want to punt on a returning Nic Naitanui, he’s at $521,000, some 60k more expensive than Martin. Take out his two injury affected games and he’s averaging over 114 and will be a huge POD in finals – I’d wager a large number of the 14,000 coaches that have him are your average punter who plays for half the season and forgets about the thing.
If you don’t have the cash to go that far up, Brodie Grundy is averaging 108 from his last three and is emerging as a very valid R2 option for next year, and with Richmond, the Doggies, the Hawks and the Suns to come doesn’t face a monster ruckman on the way home.
IN THE BARGAIN CORNER:
“Awww, I have three injured premiums and no money. Why can’t I have no injured premiums and three monies?”
If you’ve got absolutely no cash, you’re in a bit more of a pickle. Sam Naismith is at 270k and averaging 80, and bargain-basement Archie Smith scored a 96 on debut and should play every game from here on out. He won’t score that every week, but might hit a 75 average and give you mountains of cash if you need it, and if your plumbs are as large as Crouching Tiger’s pile of rum cans after a Richmond loss.
TRADING PLACES
Yet again, Barron von Crow’s rookie scouting report is the only place on the internet you should be looking for all the rookie news. Breakevens are no longer relevant to the large majority of Supercoachers, as there is no long term to plan for here, but if you need a cheapie, Barron is the best in the business and has you covered.
CAPTAIN McCAPTAINFACE
It’s a tough week with to pick captains with Zac Dawson suspended, but this week looks likely to pit one of Dustin Martin or Scott Pendlebury with the VC and Paddy Dangerfield as C. It’s the safe choice and should net you a 140 out of one of those three.
If you need something left field, I’m channelling my inner Barron von Crow and picking out some guys worth having a gander at. One of these blokes has the VC or the C on them this week for my side, and because I know they’ll look at The Panic Room for a hint as to who I’m picking for that crucial leg up (that’s right, Throttlefinger. I’m onto you, son.)
Dan The Man Hannebery: Averaging 112, playing Port at the Adelaide Oval. His last two against Port have been 91 and 142 (both last year), and his last two games at the Adelaide Oval have been 134 and 129, both against the Crows. Plays early Saturday arvo. Back in form after a 140 last week.
Heath Shaw: Wallopped the Suns for 143 last time they played, and a 126 in round 16 last year. Averaging 108 for the year, but only 86 in his last 5. Working his way back into form with a 129 last year, and my gut is liking this choice. The last time my gut liked Heath Shaw he scored 200.
Rory Sloane: mashed Essendon into a pulp last week with 141 and has Brisbane this week, which are only just a step above. Last week was only his 4th week above 130, mind you, but is averaging 109. With Scott Thompson having a rest he needs to do more work and can’t sit back and ride along. Some would be worried about the lack of Sauce, but Jacobs was being soundly beaten by Luenberger before he got injured a few minutes into the second, and the Sloane Ranger had no issue racking up the big numbers.
Sam Docherty: Also with only the 4 scores over 130, but playing on the wide expanses of the MCG, which he loves. Scored 141 against the Saints last time, and his last game on the Hallowed Turf of the MCG led to a 138 against the Eagles. I’m firmly in Lek’s camp – this kid can play and will be my first picked in defence next year.
That’s it for me, community! Best of luck to all of you as we saunter on bravely into finals season – except anyone I’m coming up against this week, of course!
Jack Trengove killing it in the Bs, not even one of Melbourne's three emergencies?!? They want to get rid of him but why not play him and try to increase his value?
This is known as the John Butcher maneuver.
Agree with you, mate. Any Melbourne supporters around who might have a clue as to why he's in the twos?
I know a couple of people who played school footy with him. The Dees told him this year is his last chance with them. I'm thinking they figure it will be easier to cut/trade him if he can't get a game.
Wouldn't they want to show off what he can do and maximise his price if they're going to trade him
Exactly what I'd think, the Butcher maneuver lol.
But it's also hard to cement a former captain in your best 22 then tell him he's not getting another contract.
What's he done to be on his last chance?
Just because he's had so long on the sidelines with his foot. It was a "we can't keep paying you if you can't get on the park" type deal.
Few Melb supporters I know reckon they lack speed and unfortunately he's one of the slow ones
Yeah a bunch of foot fractures can do that
1 midfield position to fill. It's between Sloane & Kennedy . Who to pick? Sloane has an easy run home but worried he could be rested . Kennedy I know will play but have Parker & hanners, is that too many swans?
Why would having 3 swans in your midfield be a problem anyway?
having 3 swan midfielders is getting a few to many eggs in one basket. as Cameron said, why is this a problem… it can be if swans have a bad day, you are then over exposed.
ie round 21 last year, cats had a very bad day against the pies.
i do love JPK, but i would be getting Sloane. This week alone he will be worth it.
Thanks Derek , like you I love him too & have had him the last 4/5 yrs . Appreciate your thoughts. Ps. I'm going Pendles into danger for me
Even though Kennedy has been in great form of late, I'm Just a bit worried he has more players who could stand up & pinch points off him as earlier in the year , as opposed to Sloane who has less competition for the points. Cheers Cameron , thoughts appreciated.
Flip a coin Mick!
Derek raises a valid point re having three Swans and you flagged another valid point re Sloane getting a rest.
Thanks ranger for yr input, it's a tough choice @ this point. I'm playing for league win, will have 2 trades left after this trade, & fortunate enough to have the double chance. Good luck too all this w/ end & appreciate all yr thoughts.
Pretty simple.
Which midfielder do you believe will score the most points over the next 4 rounds?
Get that midfielder.
Don't worry about sharing points.
What does your gut say?
If you think JPK will be the highest scoring mid not in your team get him.
Still a close call
Personally would go Kennedy. Will play every game on the run home.
I'm confused as to the constant talk of players being rested… there is a week off for everyone after Round 23. Resting prior to that could be detrimental, especially for top 4 sides that could have a further week off if they win the first final. Players want to be battle hardened going into finals, not find themselves suddenly shocked at the intensity because they've played twice in the 5 weeks prior. The case for resting players in finals bound teams makes no sense at all to me.
JPK!! And i love Sloane but JPK is something else atm
There is no week off for teams playing in finals. Round 23 ends 28th august, finals start 2nd September.
Teams WILL rest players.
Sorry to say u are wrong sir. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-29/afl-fixture-n…
I stand corrected. Perhaps my family are right when they say I need glasses.
no way will sloane be rested. The crows are one of the teams chasing percentage right now as the top 4 position will come down to it, and they are tight with geelong.
Patch probably 1-2 zingers short of last week's patch up which was gold class but still good stuff.
Set the bar high with that one.
Another VC left field option who is shining brightly as I don't have pendles is the beard.
Warming to big maxy this is why.
Last 2 games against the Hawks Ave 116.
Last time they played Gawn had 50 hit outs for 115 SC points with only 8 disposals.
If Maxy gets around the ground more (his Avg disposal is 14) then that should give him a score of 130-140 which he is more than capable of.
With Oliver coming in gives maxy another option to palm down to and increase his SC output.
more I think about it the more it makes sense.
hawks rucks could be GAWN!
Pretty valid case.
Needs consideration.
i like the option. i had VC on Max last week, he was about 80 at half time but only ended up with just over 100. I think he went forward and didn't see the ball in the third quarter.
The two hawks bigmen are playing well, and are spending alot of time at full forward, max will be dragged into defence a fair bit which might be a good thing
Have had a massive week so it is undoubtedly below last week's efforts. I looked at Gawn, but there's just something about the MCG. I like your logic, but my gut just isn't sold, especially after his effort last week.
How bout Gawn as VC? Got to pick someone before the GC game as my loop plays for them. Dusty's de% is killing him if was to have 70% tonight could go huge…
4 trades left and a full side this week for once. Forward line is still a weak spot, so going to put Wingard on the pine as an emergency and play Hall, then if Wingard spuds it up trade Hall to Dahlhaus.
good plan
Winged will have a tough go of it against the Swans. But then he has Melbourne, Adelaide (he plays well in Showdowns) and finally Gold Coast.
Hoping he can put together some decent scores in upcoming weeks. Even some consistency would be nice, also have Montagna and Greene who both seem to yoyo a lot with scoring.
Love your thinking Ollie
Great article! Look forward to it each Friday.
Good a dilemma, Need to get rid of Steffy Martin…. (Have 510k)
?
Do I Go Martin>Goldstein or Martin>Grundy
Or any other ruck options! (have gawn)
If you're in an elimination final Grundy is a nice pod
Pretty simple.
Who do you believe will score the most points over the next 4 rounds?
Get that Ruckman.
Not sure on a VC option this week
Dusty, Pendles, Parker, Hanners or Shaw?
I currently have it on Shaw at the moment
Pendles for me Andrew as I've always considered him to be 2nd most reliable sc scorer to Ablett . But Fyfe did take over for a short time .
In a qualifying final this week with 1 trade left. Play Petracca and hope to get the week off next week and have a trade for prelim or trade Deledio and have 0 trades left? Cheers.
Depends on yr cover ? Play Petracca . In my opinion he's been serviceable & keep the trade for your do or die match in the coming weeks.
In a qualifying I'd hold this week, Tim
need some help here i have stef
is goldy still injured?
Back in goldy or punt with nic nat?
same dilemma
I would be going NICNAT
Goldy is carrying a injury, he has been carrying it for quite a wile now.
You'd almost be better off trying to get Naismith in the forward line to cover both of them Riley old mate, but if you're gonna trade Nic Nat is where my money is this week.
Appreciate the communities thoughts.
I have a full premo team, only slight worry is Josh Kennedy (WCE), but I have no active bench.
I have 4 trades remaining, and finished 5th in my money league. Only $15k cash
Do I sit tight (no trades), and hope to win this week, in what should be a close match-up, and should injuries occur in the SC finals, trade premo to premo
or
Trade 1-2 bench players to rookie active players, with the view to spending my 2nd last trade getting Dahlhaus next week to loophole either forward or mid, thus not gambling so much of Josh Kennedy's output.
Appreciate you thoughts, I'm favoring holding tight at this stage.
I'd sit tight for this week at least, as he's against freo & see if he hits form. I've got him too , but a chance to go big. HOPE!
JJK will do ok this week
Naismith and Merrett/Betts/Dahlhouse
or
Goldstein and Naismith (Fwd)
The first, Tagger
Daniel Rich or Jason Johannisen for D6? Only got 415k
Oh, and now Rich is being considered D6.. where am I ?
JJ, Danno
Worth trading Tmitch for hannes?
Hi Patch. What's your thoughts on my forward line mate. Martin, Zorko, Buddy, Greene, Wells, Josh Kennedy Montagna and Markov. Can't loophole as all playing – so who do think I should have on the bench apart from Markov? Also I'm putting VC on Sloane into Danger
Well I reckon you can give one of them to me! On recent form I'd go JJK.
Can you dpp with your mids?
Do u have a weak link there u can put on the bench?
Running out of superlatives for ya Patch. Bang up job my man. Why can't I play someone this week that has Stef or Sauce. Buugger
Quality work again Patch. Need to get rid of Libba – who would you recommend out of Dalhous, Bartel, Clay Smith, Motlop, Wines or any other option. I'm holding Jacobs as I have Naismith as cover. If Naismith doesn't do the job then I will trade Jacobs. If he doesn't should I trade Trengrove or Phillips (Coll) to have bench coverage in the mid field.
VC – Pendles, Sloane or Gawn.
Thoughts!!!
Reckon the Dahl will deliver the goods for you Nervous, although you could do far worse than Motlop. Like your thinking in the rucks, Naismith more than holding his own there
Thanks Patch. Worried about Motlop's consistency and if he will be rested particularly if the Cats are safe in the top 4 although very tempting as same price as Libba. Thoughts on VC and trading Trengrove/Phillips if I don't have to trade Jacobs.
Dahl over Motlop mate.
II'd hold on Trengrove/Phillips until you need the cover to save the trade
For libba who would be best out of Mundy, Ebert and Bartel
Mundy if Sandilands back
Mundy
Best D6 option for $393,800 less??
Big decision community.
I'm in 2 $ leagues, the smaller one I'm top 4 so double chance but the bigger one is elimination.
Have Hall and Sucklingpig on the pine, looks like Rug might not get a gig so will have to play Collins and Petracca but that leaves me no mid cover.
Only one trade left so thinking Hall to Dahl as I reckon Suckers will be back before Hall, that way I can swing Trac into mids as cover.
Have to decide by tonight because I have to swing Phillips (pies).
Any wisdoms welcome cheers.
If you want the cash you've got to go for it – I'd pull the trigger myself
Thinking that. I could loop petracca in fwds and if he spuds bring in Dahl and if he goes good hold fire but bit suss on no mid cover.
Bugger it all in.
I don't know what Tom Philips needs to do to get a game in the 1's, mind you he's been in hospital with leather poisoning the last few weeks.
Issue community.
Have big Stef in my side and Naismith for cover.
Do I –
a) Trade big Stef to Gawn/Nic Nat type and leave Naismith in fwd/ruc bench; or
b) Keep Stef in the hope he returns, play Naismith as Goldy's partner in the ruc and trade in Dalhouse for Collins via DPP to swing into Fwd line?
I'm leaning towards B…
Oh, and 1 trade remaining…after this trade will be zilch
Hold him. Naismith is no slouch.
Though with one trade left I'd hold it to cover any season ending injuries.
Keep Stef – I'd go plan B if you've got Naismith
Have Libba and Sauce with 3 trades and $78, 500
Option 1. Trade Libba to someone like Dahlhaus, Ebert or Motlop. (My order of preference) Sauce covered by Lycett in Fwd Line
Option 2. Downgrade Libba to rookie, trade Sauce to Gawn leaving $216K to spend on one trade.
Option 3 . Advice. I've been going back and forward on this so many times.
I did finish 3rd so have the double chance but would prefer to have a week off than play another final.
Option 1.
Libba gone for sc season. Sauce is a luxury trade that you don't need to do
Libba out. If you've got cover for Sauce, hold.
laird or boyd?
Laird for mine
Libba & Lids to Hanners & Motlop
Nice trades but expect ups and downs with Motlop. He's a decent choice imo
Brodie Grundy and Gunston for Stef Martin and Libba
or
Gawn and Touk Miller/Ebert for Stef Martin and Libba?
Tough. Can you afford anyone better?
Would almost be tempted to get the best forward possible and some cover like naismith until stef is back if money is that tight
This is my current Midfield:
Danger, Pendles, Hanners, Parker, Ward, Steven, Wines, Libber
I want to trade Libba and can afford any midfielder, my query is, for those like myself who have Hanners & Parker would it be worth bringing in JPK or would you suggest another midfield?
I like Selwood but I am scared something chronic that he will be rested and with 3 Sunday games it makes it almost impossible for changes IF it happened.
I'm thinking either Sloane, JPK, Selwood. Any others to consider?
Your thoughts and advice is SERIOUSLY appreciated.
having 3 swan midfielders is getting a few to many eggs in one basket. as Cameron said, why is this a problem… it can be if swans have a bad day, you are then over exposed.
ie round 21 last year, cats had a very bad day against the pies.
i do love JPK, but i would be getting Sloane. This week alone he will be worth it
Cheers mate, yeah I think 3 of the top midfielders in the one team can be a problem although he is pumping out decent scores regardless. I think I will stick with my first choice Sloan.
Selwood is a great choice and finishes well. Dont think he will be rested given cats run for the top 4.
Jpk is performing very well and that wont change no matter who you have in your team. Very good option too.
Both great choices but think jpk by a nose
Heaps of C & VC options with a good spread of the usual players that get used , too many actually :
At this stage I'm going – Sloane into Danger, but may change Danger to Priddis against Freo, dunno
Danger into priddis is smart choice if you have a non-playing bench player on Sunday
Bartel and Treloar or JJ and someone under 570k (Sloane, Neale, Ward, Bont)?
Bartel and Treloar…..cats nice run home and Treloar is a gun!
Agree with Starvos Maxy!
I'd be pretty tempted to go Tay Adams over Treloar.
Hi Patch. With Jacobs not playing do you think will have any effect on Sloan's sc scoring??
Jacobs went down 10 minutes into the second quarter last week and it didn't stop him swarming to 140. If the Crows were up against Sandi or Geelong it would, but not against Archie Smith
Curnow or Cotchin???
thänks guŷs
Reckon Cotchin, Osei!
Vc on pendles or JPK?
I'd slap it on Pendles John
Jpk as a pod who is performing at top level lately
Do I play Dahlhaus on field or Naismith
Loophole them
Dahlhaus! ! He's named on the ball too. 100+ is likely
Can't loophole unfortunately both my donuts play tonight
Why oh why is Grimley named!!!!
Makes loopholing harder
Especially for me can't have Sloane vc danger capt and as my fwd loophole!
Lol 🙂
Yep. He has sat on my bench the whole year without getting a run at it. No cover, no cash generation. Now when he is desperately needed as a loophole he buggers that up too.
Kinda funny ..
Mundy or Treloar fellas
Dahlaus or Zorko… The extra coin doesn't matter for last spot in fwd line.
Need to trade tonight cos it's lids out…
Dahl looked good early v cats, maybe needed a run, ready to go all game
get zorko Mate, much more consistent. Dont even think about the trade.
Trade in Motlop and Merret or Motlop and Dahlause
Motlop Dahl
Dahlhaus. Merrett a very good chance to be rested for "tiredness". Doggies lots of injuries should see Dahlhaus score well.
The two "M's" No brainer.
During the finals can we trade players in and out just as we have all season, or do the trades have to be done prior to the first game of the round starting?
Petracca or Lycett on ground? Cannot loophole because Grimley is named this week…
Petracca… Nic Nat back will share ruck load and Petracca is a gun even if he is playing the Hawks
Thoughts on who I should make captain in my draft league Dusty Buddy Parker or Gawn. Please help
League win only.
Double chance (finished second)
4 trades left.
Thinking Menegola for Libba then I can get rid of Lids for nearly anyone mid or fwd via DPP. (Dustin Martin up forward or possibly JPK, Sloane etc in the mids)
Thoughts? Should I double side-grade instead (Libba to Ebert, Motlop, I.Smith & Lids to Rioli, Riewoldt, Greene, Westhoff etc)
Does anyone else play Perfect 9?
I sometimes forget it because I am focusing on Classic
I love it, so fun
Like last years prizes though
Thinking Pendlebury as VC, but tempted to throw it on Max Gawn instead. Who's everyone else going with?
Dusty as VC as he will score MASSIVE tonight, I can feel it in my scrotum and that's rarely wrong.
How did the scrote pull up mate, bit sore?
I have gone Peddles as VC also but thinking about switching to Sloane.
Pendles as VC tonight I dont like, he wont score over 85. lol
Heater VC to Danger C if that stuffs up, am liking Max though
Pendlebury VC tonight for me. It's SC finals footy, and superstars tend to fire to fit the occasion!
Didn't go Max – my opponent did! Dammit!
Got 4 trades left do I burn two to get docherty and have McVeigh as a loop hole emergency or stick with McVeigh on ground and save trades. Only worried about league not overall .
Save 'em mate.
SMartin to DogDog. SHARK MOVE.
not really a shark move if the person you are trading out is injured or not playing. Its more a ''common sense" move.
Sharks can have common sense too :p
Righto fellas I've fired my last shot.
Hall to Dahl, in a must win so it's all or nothing.
Final team is.
Shaw Doch Simmo (Rug)
Gibbo Laird Collins (Suckpig)
Danger Jelwood Priddis (Petracca)
Parker Gray Treloar (Trengove)
Bont Ward (Jansen)
Goldy Gawn (Loersch)
Dusty Zorko Dahl (Phillips)
Montagna Chad Zerret (Skinner)
VC'd Treloar into Danger/Jelwood.
Good luck in the finals everyone (not DontBlushBaby playing you in league of losers).
DangrsDanglBerries will prevail!!!
Ahh glug glug.
Pendles VC 10 possie first quarter, TWO posse second.
Lift you good thing!
That said I'm projected to win my league games. We all know that means very little. But one thing it does mean is I can afford to stick with Danger C. Let my opponents take the risks.
Dead in the water in the last.
Disgusted that Pies are going to keep Buckley next year! He is an absolute shit Coach and waste's his players talents like Pendles! I cant wait til he's gone, have to wait another torturous year! Bucks you suck and I hate you and cant wait til you are gone sincerely a Pies fan!
Agree with you 100 per cent. Last time I checked the game was called Football. If he wants a team that handballs all time he should be in Rio. Pendles should in the guts all the time. Bucks does not understand that his game plan does not work as it is too high risk. Hope the second half is better but Bucks should be under the same scrutiny as Hardwick.
Wish Buckley got killed by his kid and not Walshy would have been justified! FCK Buckley I hope you get killed in a car crash on ur way home tonight you piece of sh*it! FCK YOU! EAT SH*T AND ROT IN HELL!!!
You sir should be banned from the Internet, phones, tablets, computers and any other form of communication
This comment has to go holy moly
It's people like this who spit in your face while at the footy coz they cannot handle reality. Get over it Shittinwood Fan or Splinter Arse.
It's the entire Collingwood side that needs to GO due to their deplorable fans.
I feel sorry for you. This is a really sick way of getting attention. Jock give him a chance to apologise. If he doesn't find out who it is and blacklist him.
Jock for the integrity of this awesome site you have to ban that moron. He is against everything we stand for here as a community. And this is coming from a Pies man who wonders sometimes what is Buckley doing but Mick cost us any chance of the 2011 premiership with his terrible coaching on game day. And we have been smashed with injuries since 2010. Player error cost the win against Richmond who came to play but we gave them so many goals. Disgusting comment Collingwood Fan may we never read your ISIS like comments again on this great site
In Menengola going to be dropped for all of Geelongs inclusions?
