I traded out Highmore today. It's a bit strange: there's been much talk this week about a replacement for those with H Young. If the trade was down then the options were Chapman, Burgess and L Jones but no mention of Idun. Strange, because he scored 77 last week; and the Giants lost players to injury, so his job security looks very strong.Bergman should at least get a gig next week
Whats Highmore done to piss of Ratten?
Is Flynn back next week
I actually lost money trading Highmore to him, but Idun will make good money and I reckon Highmore won't. I must admit I was concerned after Rd 1. I heard an interview with a euphoric Brett Ratten and when asked by a clearly impressed interviewer about the debut of Highmore, Ratten twice in 20 seconds said the word "reasonable". I thought, wow, could you have been more underwhelmed?
According to the club: "The news isn’t much better for exciting forward Zak Butters, who suffered a syndesmosis injury during the match."With Jones going so well, hard to see Bergman coming back in the short term
Suspect if Butters misses due to injury, it's only likely to be a week .....hold
Likely to be a while. I think that's 4 injuries from the game. Hopefully it's enough to get Bergman a game again. I think, from memory, he was on the emergency list this week so, 'fingers crossed', 4 injuries will be enough to get him back into the team.
Credit to him: he did well as my Captain this round.
