    Damn I wish they told us that two weeks ago, bloody inconsiderate AFL clubs.

    Don't have any cash in the bank so it's between Yarran and Fisher I guess, I already know SKT's opinion on Fisher but Melbourne and GWS to come seems like a good draw.

    Damn! Copped a donut and cost me a game waiting for him to come good. Need two upgrades in Def now. M.Johnson looks a good strait'ish swap.

    Will S.Shaw or S.Darley play again?

    Broughton to either Johnson, Fisher, Suckling.

    Greg is going on the never again list for me.. what a bad season for injuries!

    Richards, Newman, Burgoyne, Guerra, S Thompson?

    Any other ideas? Not enough cash for Johnson and Suckling.

    4 Trades left i could always downgrade and then double upgrade as well but that is 3 of my 4 trades gone for trading in a couple of 90s defenders vs a having a couple of 80s defenders? not much advantage?

    Only have him in DT, best player I can afford us Heath Shaw or is it too risky to bring him for his regular late season brain fade

    same thokash it was out of him and ellis last week as to made way for bagueley, with not a lot of cash difference between the two i opted to trade out ellis as thought broughton would be better bench coverage during the finals, would like to have that trade back again.

    Im pretty sure he'll become waters this week, definetly in DT and probably SC as well. Broughton is now firmally entreched on the never again list regardless of how much ross tempts us by using him in the midfield next preseason

    @the butcher

    shaw - will play again you would think - hopefully this week

    darley - will play at some stage (unles she is injured) but who knows with sheeds. He doesnt look to be first (or 2nd) choice and i'd say GWS wil be going pretty hard rounds 19-21 (port, gold coast, melbourne) then those on the fringes to get more games in rounds 22 and 23.

    I traded broughton out of my SC team last week to avoid a donut and brought in grima, hopefully shaw or darley return soon to give me cover.

    My dads trading games team still has broughton and depending on other selections and the amount of donuts that team faces my dad will probably move him on either this week or next week.

    Ouch! Hadn't calculated making another Def trade for the year. I thought it was his back that was sore, not his ring finger, unless the two were connected?

    You're probably right re. Martin, but he still won't be in my starting lineup next year. Broughton has been the coach killer though. The writing was on the wall at the end of last year when he produced some horrid efforts. Somehow I got sucked in again.

    Regarding the correlation between supposed back injury and current finger injury, maybe he twisted his back and broke his finger whilst trying to pull his finger out of his rear end.

    If Martin is a forward/Mid again next year I will be jumping back on but not if he is just a Mid.
