[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Budrick did enough last night to make my team. Even when Dale gets back he should get 70-80 most weeks.

Another early bye player but will play every week.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Butler will have to play Mid next week. I got him back in. I just need some security and 5 tackles a game

 

[Changa10]

Butler with a slightly concerning role, playing purely high half forward.

However, 12 disposals and 2.2 in a game where we never kicked into next gear was a solid enough return.

I can't remember ever having this many mature aged rookie priced players to choose from. Team currently has Chayce Jones, Arty Jones, Dev Rob, Butler, Cook, Brodie and Serong. Had Gibcus most of the pre-season too.
Fresh faced rookies be damned I guess.

I wouldn’t read too much into that last night performance or structure. I’d like to see our CBA’s. Newcombe was in there a lot, but felt Ward was under utilised to try a few different combos like Frenchie, CMac, Weddle, Wiz etc.

Felt like the team was going through the motions a bit to me.

Frenchie being ruled out with concussion may open the door for Greeves, for a game at least.

Big watch on Rachele and Thilthoroe for me. Still can’t get my fwd line balance right with the early bye players.

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Rankin Fwd/Ruck DPP incoming

 

[stevebbb]

Big watch on Rachele and Thilthoroe for me. Still can’t get my fwd line balance right with the early bye players.

The issue with Rachele is no Soligo, Rankine, Berry or Peatling today.

If he doesn't get full midfield time today, cross him off.

If he does get full midfield time today, you have to think about what happens when the above come back into the side.

 

[Petrify]

Most will already have Sharp & Farrow in their team but suggest watching Kondogiannias (Kondo) & El Achkar (Huss) closely today. El Achkar is almost a certainity to be in R1 side with good JS. Kondo is a very big chance to take Ridleys spot while Ridley is injured.

I'd describe Kondo as an elite kick, very athletic but needs to work on his defensive contests.

Scott was pretty clear Bryan won't be automatic back in and will have to earn his spot

 

[HTPunter]

Happy to be called an idiot but I thought you could put hands in the back if you then got hands to ball in the same motion? Commentators all agreed that Caminiti one was a clear free, I thought he did well?

 

[St Steady]

sinc or nas

 

[rocker_oz33]

How did he miss that lol .

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Too many players to keep an eye on here.
