Spending a little on premos and mid pricers in the lowest scoring line?
Lowest scoring line? Thats been flipped this year. 11 of the listed defenders averaged 95+ last year compared to the forwards were only 4 went 95+. I have absolutely no issue spending bigger this year. Had Docherty, Shaw, Laird and Howe at D1-4. I rate the rookies on other lines better.

I will make the call come team announcements though and assess based on which rookies are named if I will pick one more up.

Id suggest those who have Otten have a plan b for when he's not selected
Given the crows have spent 4 years persisting with Otten and his injuries, as they see him as best 22..or they certainly did..what makes you think his jlt selection and form wont get him a rd1 spot?

so now we have choices to make!!

3 def spots to fill: Otten, Stewart, Zuthrie, Smith and Hibberd

3 mid bench spots to fill: Mountford, Florent, Barrett, Parfitt, Pickett and Miles


Good news is I can lock Pickett in on my mid bench and worry about the others tomorrow once Sunday teams are finalised! :)

I can't believe people have their hope in Guthrie. Have you seen the size of him?
yes I have, he looks like a 12 year old school girl
but still, green dots are nice :)

I think he'll make the extended team tonight but miss the final team for Sunday and be emergency
Stewart a red hot crack though

I'd be selecting all of those defenders with Guthrie probably the iffy one considering he looks like he's 12.
Florent is probably too much of a spend to be on the bench.
