Why are any of them missing? Wilmot is fine, Ginbey will be fine as WC don't have any other fit players. Don't let jumpy Kent's on here spook you.

I wouldn't sideways trade a rookie to avoid a donut anyway. The trade is worth more than 40-70 points.

With Wilmot I think it's about Rich being ready to return and him seeming the logical out. I reckon Wilmot will play.

Simpson said Ginbey would need a rest soon, but I don't reckon he gets it this week.

Folks are jumping at shadows. I need Wilmot and Ginbey to play to cover Day assuming he's out, but like you've said, I'd rather cop a donut than waste a trade going sideways from a rook to another rook for a pissy little profit and a 47

Wilmot is playing wing mainly. Rich isn't replacing him.
 
That’s because you don’t have him.

Yeah, it may be illogical to trade him out - but, it feels so good :D

Players bottom out all the time .

It just sucks when there in your team ...
 
Honey, LOB and probably ECurnow
Ed has been playing well, turned back the clock.

I can see a Hollands rest.

Cowan looks locked into your back 7, which has been holding up very well.
 
Cowan - plays Thursday night ✔️
Wilmot - plays Saturday arvo ✔️
Ginbey - plays Sunday arvo ❌

Hopefully Ginbey isn't named on the extended bench, might cause some anxiety


The more I look at it, bringing in Tylar Young for a dead rookie to sure up D8 and keep the cash flowing makes a lot of sense

Dutchie playing alright .

But might be less chips out there for him.

Ginbey will play unless an injury cloud. The Eagles have an injury list as long as a grammy acceptance speech. He is the safest of all three in my opinion.

I am worried about all three myself as Chesser and Constable are my bench options. So if one of the three is not named, I will have to burn a trade to swap across to someone else. The is no downgrade options for them as no cheap rookies are playing. And none of the three have grown enough yet to upgrade to a decent player. Will have to swap to someone like Michalanney.

Maybe, but we love his run - no real need to drop him

Ed Curnow - is now fighting against two mid inclusions
 
My team is garbage. Stupidly picked up Amartey last week. 200k in the bank

My backline is:
Daicos - Young - McKenna - Ginbey - L.Jones - Cowan (Wilmot - Constable)

Have enough to turn Hayden Young 🤢 > Dawson straight up.

Then maybe a dropped rookie (if there is one) > JVR

Could also do:
L.Jones > Stewart
Mackenzie > JVR

other options if Witts out:
Witts > Grundy
young > Dawson

Chandler > Pickett
Very tempting.

Thoughts?

The coach said he looked tired and will need a rest at some stage. We all hope it's not this week.

Witt's was sorness.

You would expect him to be right l

Imagine the carnage this week, especially the backline

In some doubts:
Ginbey
Day
Wilmot
Cowan
Constable - already dropped
Chesser - injured

And now Doch - possible injury

Tempted to sideways Cogs & Doch while their value’s still respectable but will give them both another week. Cogs is the bigger worry, seems very one way, with little intent to pressure or tackle & is butchering it too. If he can’t return a decent score aginst the hawks he’s gone.
