$61k remaining. Currently have:
DEF: Naughton:lock: Doedee:lock: Murray:lock: (Finlayson:lock: Murphy:lock:)
MID: Brayshaw:lock: Holman:lock: (Brodie:openlock:Banfield:lock:Kelly:lock:)
RUCK: Olango:lock:
FWD: ZGL:lock: Fritsch:lock: (Waterman:openlock:Ryan:openlock:)

I don't know what to do with Brodie, I might keep him so I can loophole Banfield/Kelly/Holman, and hope he plays RD 2.
Don't think LDU is worth the price, also not sure Barry and Fogartys JS. I can see them getting dropped by round 3.
Clark is an option, what is his JS like?

Forward rookies are shit this year. Gotta choose 2 of Ryan, Waterman, Venables.
I understand that Waterman will most likely make way for JJK, but when is he expected to return?

Bolton last night. 3 kicks, 3 handballs, 2 marks, 3 frees against. 20 SC points. A spud last season and still one now. Somehow Higgins can't get a game before this guy. A method to the madness I guess, but it escapes me.

I would think poor to fair.

We are looking for someone to replace Charlie Cameron's role, long term, whether that him or Hampton (or Galluci or Knight when they are fit) I guess we will find out.

Tex will come back in for Fogarty (or Jenkins). Tom Lynch will also need to come back in. Although he plays a different role to Murphy, there's only so many you can squeeze into a team.
Any chance Fog stays in to have stints in the mids with Crouch out? Heard he plays as a mid too?

I think he will be a pinch hitter in there eventually. His body is ready, but his tank is not at this stage.

I think that Greenwood would be the next to come in to play that role (he plays in SANFL this week), Hampton likely to get next run at it. I think its Cam Ellis-Yolmen who's currently in crouch's spot though.

ZGL and English both named for GWS v Dogs game. Lobb named too, no Simpson.
Gowers named on our bench too if anyone feels like a mature age rookie with less job security than a White House employee

It's why I never bother with these Twats that set themselves up as SC gurus on twitter. They're 100% reactionary.

LDU has never left my side. As a North supporter, I watched closely and am very pleased with what I saw. Good JS and midfield role suggests that he is a safe pick.
That's fine, you've stuck fat ....as i am with Fogarty tonight

But these Guru's the other week were saying LDU was a poor scoring Rookie option .....now because Brodie is out ...suddenly he's a good pick ? ...cmon

I'm in the same dilemma.
I went to Barry, but I don't think he will play that many games, so i'm tempted to keep Brodie on the bench this week in hopes Dew doesn't be a total campaigner and leave him out in RD 2 as well.
******* campaigner coaches at it again.
Brodie will get a lot of games ....missing the first doesn't tell us all that much IMO

No Boyd or Campbell, with Adams injured they probably want Trengrove as mainly defender so Roughy will ruck with English. But i can't see him holding the spot for long....dnno why Boyd isn't name.
