Round 18 - I hate the bug!

I hate the bug, you hate the bug we all hate the bug but unfortunately the bug is here to stay. It only seems a matter of time before COVID gives us a big 5hitburger to eat this season but if it does, would there be any extra trades on offer? Any additional trades would really set the REBCats amongst the pigeons and turn the Hogg upside down as teams that are currently on the ropes (whoever you may be) would be significantly revived.

Something that is more predictable, unlike this year's fixture, is the continuing fragility of Giants players. Lachie Whitfield is the latest in a long line of Giants burnmen and it has t be pretty close to putting the whole club on the 'never again' list. Toby Green and Josh Kelly are two other SC relevant players that make their owners nervous every time they hit the deck and Haynes is almost in the same rowboat. Luckily I dodged the Whitfield bullet as I had my defence sorted but some of my opponents were not so lucky last week. Who needs that rubbish when everyone is scoring 2350 plus? :shock:

May your unique premos not go down this week....unless it's Ecky because I need a miracle here.

regards,

REB

I know this is a bit late in the season to be asking the question lol, but here goes ... Can you make trades mid-round in between AFL games being played, or is the team you have in place by the first bounce of the ball for the round, the one you're stuck with for the entire round?

It's a rolling lock out. I trade as late as I can, every week. Next thing you are going to ask me about the value of perma donuts and vc loophole. ;)

Cunnington OUT - Electing to stay with family and won't play against Essendon. And let the 5hitburgers begin. There's talk of a snap Vic lockdown as well.

You can make trades and you can even reverse a trade if you have only used one trade at any time as long as the players involved in the trade havent played or someone you moved position to facilitate the trade hasnt played
