In before Tsatas 50 score

 

[South of the Yarra]

Do I pick Bont, Butters or Brayshaw in my team. BBBig decision.

 

[Choppers]

Really? I'm giving him the VC!

What.....Victory over Cornes

None. All too expensive.

 

[PoopingHindi]

do I field Prior or Cleary?
I’m expecting 50’s from both but at least Cleary delays the disappointment. he’s also more chance to be sub/subbed though.

Cant you loop Prior?

 

[tigland]

Have a feeling all my rookies will be dealing with this guy soon

This is SC. If you bench Prior, he'll score 90+ and the misery will last until next week

depends on selection but hopefully not.
also, choosing one or the other requires some dpp trickery that I may not be able to make work after the first game. (maybe I can, I haven’t checked.)

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Mailman Paul Maley?
No way.
Takes you back, remember old Scott Fisher and the Mailman back in the day, Paul Rees came along not that far after.
He absolutely went alright. Lot of problems with the back on the tail end, from memory.
Anneli Zak Butters areas.
Didn't make any of the connections

Maley, Rees, Fisher, McDonald, Reidy and Pearce are my memory of the Giants.
Fisher primarily a generation before the others.

For those wondering how the Mailman is currently travelling:

Idk why but I'm more excited for his debut than I have been for any top draft pick.

Strange looking weekend. Will be all out (23 played) prior to the last two games. Waiting to trade on Sunday night is going to feel like forever lol, especially with the late game.

Trade in Anderson, get on the rising Suns

Do you think him being captain has limited his ceiling? I’m being stupid but I miss my 120+ noah

Maybe, I think the team improving might limit his ceiling. Quite a few scoring well SC at the Suns now.

I thought 89 on the weekend with the Jordon tag was promising. I'm keen to jump on in the next few weeks.

Potentially coming in over the next week or two, just can't afford this week

He looked better against the tag but he was also quite fortunate to get that score. Scaling was doing a lot of the heavy lifting for him in the 4th.

As you know he’s one of my favourite players but outside of the West Coast game he’s been a tad frustrating.

102 v the crows when he was on 52 at quarter time

113 v north was on 25 nearing half time

105 v tigers didn’t watch this game but similar to the north game was only on 44 at half time. I think he had 20 touches in the second half

Yeah the points are getting shared more it seems.

Rioli and Noble get plenty most weeks. Touk is back to his best and Humpa is on the rise. Flanders isn't even scoring well yet.

I’m not sure I’d recommend trading him in tbh.

He has saints and then GWS X2. Brisbane x2 who he hasn’t scored great against as well

Yes you could be right. I'm looking at Flanders when he bottoms out. He looked better last week, too good to not start knocking out the tons at some point.

I got Hawks/Tigers, but yep, no Lions or Suns. Starts at 7:30pm too. Sigh, rage trades on hold until very late Sunday night.

Think he might be a last yr Clarry situation tbh. No PS and relies heavily on his running power to score. Should improve in the back half but prob won't threaten the top 6-8 defs. Great option next yr

Depends how cheap he gets really. He looked like his old self for about a quarter and a half last week.

Low $400k's and I'll probably take the punt as a D7-M9

Didn’t the Tigers smash them 2 weeks ago?
