Thanks Chris, but no apology necessary mate. It's just one of those things that happens sometimes. Always hate seeing players get injured at this time of year.
There goes my man at pick 39. Knew he wouldn't last till pick whatever, which is why the trade for Pick 30 with JC was going to occur. Of course, apparently Edwards' shoulder is OK, so the cancellation of the trade may well have all been for nought anyway. Not a really great lot of circumstances. A good pick Graeme.
Thanks Chris, was not sure Dunks would last to #39 when I picked Burton - but then I was not sure Burton would last to #39 had I picked Burton At 32. BTW, that is good news about Shane Edwards.
Edwards' shoulder is about the only stroke of decent luck to come from the past 24 hours. Conca's hamstring (his third or fourth in the past 2 years) probably places him closer to the "not playing again in a meanginful way" category than the "number 6 draft pick with lots of potential" category. From Darraweit's perspective, Edwards shoulder stopped a much needed rebuild of the midfield. So far from ideal there either. Not much luck at all. But we sigh and move on. Perhaps there might be further options later on.
Also, Phillips as my only ruck, not awesome, trade enquiries that result in me giving you a fringe player for a playing ruck are welcome..
