#30: Round 3, 2008 live on Talkshoe
It’s the first week of price changes and there are plenty of winners and losers… with m0nty being one of the losers! 
First cab off the rank in the round review is Josh Hill, of course. Then we move onto Scott West, Tim Callan, Brad Johnson, Brendon Goddard, Jarryn Geary and Hamish McIntosh.
During Hawk Talk we discuss Brad Sewell, Michael Osborne, Travis Tuck, Xavier Ellis, Cyril Rioli, Cameron Stokes and Mark Williams.
Then it’s onto the two winged Eagles Matt Priddis and Dean Cox, followed by Chad Fletcher, Ben McKinley, Scott Selwood, Brad Ebert, Chris Masten, Jamie McNamara, Matthew Spangher, Rhys Palmer, Chris Mayne, Bachar Houli, Ricky Dyson, Chris Judd, Matthew Kreuzer, Bryce Gibbs and Bret Thornton.
M0nty’s under the gun again for his round 1 spray against Barry Hall, with Molly taking the credit for defending the big bloke. Craig Bolton, Tadhg Kennelly, Martin Mattner, Craig Bird, Ed Barlow, Kieren Jack, Harry Taylor and Mark Blake all get a run.
The boys compare Joel Corey with Gary Ablett jnr, with m0nty predicting that the two will fight it out for top fantasy scorer of 2008. Steve Johnson, Brock McLean, Nathan Jones, Cameron Bruce, Joel Bowden, Jordan McMahon, Jake King, Nathan G. Brown, Paul Medhurst, Cameron Wood, Bernie Vince, Jason Porplyzia, Kurt Tippett, Brad Symes, Chad Cornes, Steven Salopek and Warren Tredrea are all discussed.
Among the issues of the week are sideways rookie trades, Lethal League housekeeping, the new Too Serious web site, the 2008.1 version of FFGenie, and the perils of moderating the FanFooty live chat. Finally, we mull over this week’s captain choices, coming off our highly successful week 2 recommendation of The Chad, with Simon Goodwin and Matthew Pavlich getting top votes.

Hey Rod,
What do you mean dude? Do you Fan Footy? On the show, Monty mentioned that he is adding new features to the site and it has ment a lack of blogging. More should be added soon!

Hey Molly,
i actually havent had a chance to listen to the show yet, so i didnt know that. Something in me said i should listen to the show before posting, i guess i should have listened to that little voice… Im a massive fan of fan footy!!!!!!!!!!!! Sitting here at work eagerly awaiting new blogs and information-just a little hard to listen to the show in front of customers here at Fox Studios. (im an expat victorian who is a hawks fan) Keep up the good work!

While i do have time here… Nicoski? Im very tempted to get off him, as he is making me angry–but i still think he’ll go up, and i dont know if its worth sideways trading to an osborne etc… what do you think?

good show guys… great stuff!! looking forward to the live head to head stuff Monty!! the official stuff stinks!!

Rod, I’m no expert - but I wouldn’t be jumping off Nicoski until he’s really had a chance to show what he can do and what his role is going to be. Hopefully he moves into a more offensive role soon.
As for Brad Ebert - how is Masten in the 22 ahead of him? Ebert has outperformed Masten so far - is it purely because Masten was a higher draft selection? Seems a bit unfair for Ebert if you ask me (plus I’d like him to play his third game so his price goes up sooner rather than lates!).
And whilst on my soapbox - would Dean Laidley just come out and say he hates Lachie Hansen? Seriously, why hasn’t be played him yet? He was their top draft pick of 2006 (pick #2 or #3 overall?), so why not play him if he’s healthy?
