This weeks question is inspired by a friend of mine who, like me, got sick & tired of carrying Magpie Paul Medhurst. We both dumped him only for him to play on the weekend against the Dockers & score 93 points.

Is there any player you’ve been dying to drop, then drop, & he hurts you for doing it??

Where you like Craig who finally traded Medhurst who then comes into the side and gets 90+

DreamTeam Wars

Ariana’s Royal Knights defeated by Leeming Lightning by 26 points

Best players were Gary Ablett, Aaron Sandilands, David Rodan & Dane Beams. Suffered with Dean Cox out, but wouldn’t be the only one for sure. Also not to be the only on with Matthew Pavlich, who went down with the calf injury.

Otherwise, the forward line showed nothing of previous weeks.

Jermayn’s “Germinators” defeated “Woftam Wasps” by 53 points

Best were Cat trio Ablett, Paul Chapman & Joel Corey, plus Brendon Goddard. Three of the best ten of the week will help anybody.

There were also four nineties, but is Lance Franklin becoming a real liability??

Deano’s “Nambucca Axemen” defeated “Frazers Flames” by nearly 500 points

Only Aaron Davey, Jarryd Roughead & Patrick Ryder scored over the ton & with four nineties & pretty consistent scoring, it’s unfortunate he didn’t play a higher team.

Johnny’s “diamond12” defeated by “GoldCoast Clubbers” by 23 points

Martin Mattner, Roughead, Bryce Gibbs & Rodan were the best. Despite the Cox/Pavlich syndrome, you’d have to be annoyed when the backline kills your forward line.

Michael’s “Dorkers” defeated “Carlisle Cobras” by 10 points

Corey & Leigh Harding were the only best players in what looked to be a juggle for the best emergencies that saved him.

My “Great Izzacs” lost to “Greenfield Giants” by 79 points

Jason Gram, Brad Johnston, Jed Adcock & Quentin Lynch were the best, but when you’re already 2 down, & two more pull out, that really hurts the chances. Budgets are tight, trades are low & our run for the eight is almost gone. This will go down as the worst team I’ve ever had.

Next Weeks DreamTeam Matches

Next week, it’s 1st .vs. 2nd with the “Royal Knights” taking on the undefeated “Sheryl’s Saints”. Forget St Kilda .vs. Geelong, this is the big clash of the season.

Other matches look foregone wins with the “Germinators” .vs. “Greenfield Giants”, “Dorkers” .vs. “Waikiki Whackers” & “Diamond12” .vs. “Frazers Flames”.

Unfortunately for me, I’ve got “Woftam Wasps”, so I hope Jermayn softened them up for me.
