This will be Kako's spike game put him down for 100 points already

Brave enough to start him?

 

[Bob Butter]

Who to start on field out of Tsatas (if not sub), Hustwaite or Cleary

 

[jdwood]

I’m the biggest Brad hater going around but Tsatas won’t be sub. Shiel is out and Tsatas will play the same role. Menzie likely sub.

As to Caldwell, I don’t think he is the issue. In my mind Brad considers Tsatas/Shiel (impact clearance specialist) like for like and Caldwell/Setterfield (defensively minded grunt midfielder) like for like. So most likely Setterfield makes way when Caldwell is back.

As to whether Tsatas gets an extended run at it, I have no idea. Brad will prioritise older players at every opportunity so I reckon it’s one poor game and he is out for his buddy Shiel.

Loop Tsatas with the E on the bench?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Brave enough to start him?

No I'm not that confident but I do have him at M9 and can loop him if he does score well.

I wish, no zeros this week except Boyd, unless there’s some unforeseen selection news

Cash flow beats looping this time of year.

Keep those bench cows mooing.

100%, would just make the decision a little easier lol

I’m with you mate.

I have Kako emergency at M9 and I’d love to be able to use a big score if I’m lucky enough he delivers.

My other bench players are Gross and Hustwaite.

Hustwaite will play. If Kako smashed out a big score I’d quietly hope Gross isn’t named but playing the long game it’s much better Gross plays and fattens up that bank balance.

Hope you make the right call.

Not sure if it's just coincidence or not, but Cleary has only played one game at the SCG. He scored 30. He plays there again this week.

Sometimes in this game .....luck trumps skill ...no matter what you do, you are cursed

Is that being pessimistic or realistic ?

So I've sought the aid of professionals to give me that extra spring in my step for Round 8 ...

Surely my bench squatter Tsatas gets a much-needed call-up tonight .....the start of the year, my plan was always to hunt value, not choose Xerri because of that, but get him as a direct swap for TDK who IMO will tire ....trade accomplished in R8, welcome (VC) Xerri

Let's hope the media hasn't affected the stats padding defender Sheezel ....all this talk about not caring about stats is blasphemous

Someone (me) pulled the wrong lever in R1, opting for Serong over Brayshaw ....a sliding doors moment, surely though Serong, if he can remember how to kick, can have his moment in the sun SOON !

We need Ross to select Boxhall ....come on, help us Coaches with a Rookie

I just need a good week, some favourable rookie selections to get back into the game ...

Good luck everyone ....welcome to Round 6 discussion ...and may the odds ever be in your favour !

Dang. Wayne beat you to it iDon. You can take on the Round 9 info if you’d like? 6 days to prepare.

Sure can. Lock me in.

 

[JuddgementDay]

With Tsatsa named, and a few trades - all of the sudden my team looks a lot healthier.

Only one real rookie in defense which I can loop this week - Bice is not a rookie

Out: Daniel, MReid, Trainor
In: Petracca, Marshall, Busslinger

Now, where is that no boosts left club?

[Del125763]

Im thinking of dropping Sheezel this week after he was in the headlines this week from the attack from Kane Cornes.

I think there is a good chance he doesnt get to 30+ disposals.

 

[goondog]

About bloody time!

Really? I'm giving him the VC!

Kane Cornes criticised him for stat padding:

“Banned by North”: Cornes accused of bullying

Both Kane Cornes and the Kangaroos have spoken.

I think this week,he comes out and looks to impact a game with his ball than stat pad. Mark my words.

 

[gutsroy]

WCE, touch of the Women’s Weeklies about it, but might interest some.

I don’t think it’s likely that a player would change his playing style based on a media commentator - surely, he would be working with his coaches

 

[Deliverance]

Will Tsatas get an extended run kents?
Thinking about trading him back in for Clay Hall or campo

You know as soon as you do that, Tsatas gets dropped and Hall gets a call up.

Hall still has a chance to be named this week
