No donuts here. After 2 rookie corrections after rd 2, my next 2 trades were Fyfe for Josh P Kennedy in mids and Shaw for Adcock.
With the carnage, this might well be the first ever SC where the eventual winner munched a few donuts thoroughout the season. I see a few current top 20 entries who can't avoid donuts this round. Dont be throwing in the towel just yet, if you're inside the top 12k by the end of this round, you're still some chance.
I've got a few players out, but the Dempsey, Carrazzo, Birchall triple whammy, with Lake and Mohr on the bench for my D has killed me.
Oh, that's right, I didn't want to get rid of Mumford, but saw he was playing. So, thought I'd keep him and move redden in. FML
should be OK if all forwards play, no emergencies there unless Dickson a chance. Thin elsewhere with Grimes/Clay Smith, Goodes, Redden/Stephensen not playing. Very lucky considering the carnage out there.
No donuts, but mummy, birch and lake on the pine. Traded out fyfe for goddard (in the mids, swap to def later on). Playing 7 GWS rookies and Ellis, Morris and Hall. Now I ready that ablett hyper extended his knee.
Carazzo out for 8-10. Bad luck for anyone that had him as a POD. Grey also looks to be out for the year but not many would have him given he missed the first few games. If you dodges them all this week you should make up some good ground.
One donut so far, with Lake, Shaw, Greene, Ledger, Mummy, Redden, Stephensen and Goodes out. Gonna struggle to crack 1900 at this rate. Not happy Jan!

I would have posted a respectable score if Buddy/Cyril/Hale didn't spud it up. 14 played and only Gaj and Watson have broken the ton. I need 110+ from Hmac/Selwood/Chappy/Swallow/Lids to make 2000 Hopefully keeps me close to the top teams but I doubt it...should have made trades!
At a glance through the top 10, most would've had to trade to avoid donuts, the leader didn't have to, has an intact team, but had a few underperformers. He'll barely scrape in 2000 this round & most of the current top 10 are in the same boat. I didn't look too deep outside the top 10, but from what I've seen, would dare to say that any score above 2130 would be good enough to improve your ranking this round.
I am coping a donut, and got the full hit of the injuries and suspensions, im looking at 1950 but 2000 if some if Morris and Ellis do well.. fingers crossed
I am barely over 1200 with 8 to go. They are all prems though except the tiger defenders so I'm in the same boat Fitzy! Fingers crossed! Hopefully I can at least hold my ranking
