http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/135123/default.aspx Adam Goodes is out for 6 weeks with a torn quad.
5 including his bye, not that I think he's worth rotting on the bench for that long. The big Q is who to come in for him?
Well thats another premium trade that needs adressing!! FFS can this season get any worse , that makes , mummy , fyfe , ablett and goodes all traded out!! Got 7 qtrs out of goodes!! So much for going with one of the most consistent and durable sc players to secure the team a little!! Looking at him on the weekend was thinking 1-2 weeks but 5 is too long?? That once again chucks out any trade stratergy i had ths week, was originally gonna go double down grade or possibly 1 down and bring beams/roughead!! Guess i can still do that but alot of money on the bench again!!
Double down grade seems the best option as a damn shame about Goodesy but good that players are about to Pop! Goodes Out -------> Adams IN.
The irony! I usually avoid any player over 28 yrs. I traded Fyfe to Goodes. I only did this due to reading about Goodes missing only 7 games in 300 or so! I thought "he must be the exception". Wrong!!!!!
Junkie, I can't agree this time. Sydney have the bye in Round 12, so they will just set him for a Round 13 return. Given his age, no need to risk anything, and the good start for the year (and playing GWS and GC once more this year) gives a cushion. It means he will "only" miss 5 games, but will be cherry ripe later in the season - which is to be honest when the Swans need him, as their draw is pretty tough in the 2nd half of the year (while it was softer early).
