Have Irons in my side, the rookie elevation is a positive but I wouldn't expect him to score too well playing against Collingwood.

Fingers crossed for a few others - starting two rookies in the backline so with Duigan getting a game need one of Puopolo or Heppell to play.
 
Still thinking of swapping out shane savage from the Hawks.
Can anyone comment on Shane Savage?

Cheers blokes. :thumbsu:

Savage is just outside/in the best 22. Along with Whitecross, Shiels, Sucko, and Morton. Is well priced given he's a couple years in.
Should get games before I.Smith.

I say should.
 
Will Zac Smith be a chance for round two, have just noticed a big gap in my side if he doesnt?

I only have to start one of heppell and hibberd so not a big deal for my SC but you'd have to say hibberd is stiff if he doesn't play.

SEN hinted that Hibberd is not 100% fit and that's why he missed out. They've also got word from coaches that Jayden Pitt will play for Freo in Brisbane, and Richardson, Pedersen and Atley are all in for North (confirmed on NineMSN).
 
According to the Port website, Pittard is set to debut and he gets interviewed about playing his first AFL game, so it'd be a major blow to him if he ended up not making the 21 (or 22). I think he's a bit of a ball magnet - but he's had a few shocking clangers in the preseason. Once he gets those under control I think he'll be a decent SC prospect.

Ill be spewin' if Hibberd misses. Can't see Alwyn Davey playing tho. AFL wont let him.(I don't think anyway)........
C'mon Hirdy put Hibberd in!!!

Primus confirmed Pittard as a starter a few days ago. :thumbsu:
 
So who do we reckon, Pittard or Irons? Irons 19k cheaper, but not guarenteed.
 
Well if both were guaranteed, I'd probably lean towards Pittard just because I think he'll get more of the ball. Irons is a lot flashier, but as we should all know by now... flashy doesn't equal great for Supercoach. Irons is much more likely to kick goals however. But it really is line ball.

The fact Pittard is already named is another reason to go his way.

Sweet as, thanks heaps for that :thumbsu:

Do we reckon Atley from North will stay in the squad?

Markovic and Libba playing for the dogs, i wouldnt have either in my side tho
 
With the outs you guys have / strength of your list / vast availability of other rookies, either would I.

If a rookie does hold their spot in a good side they will score better though.

The likes of Barlow, Djerrkurra, Moles, Sherman are no good. Won't take long for the dogs to figure this out but they will get the first chance due to seniority. I see Wallis as a potential mini Selwood from 07. Take a few games to break into a good side but once gets in will play and score well for the year. Probably better off waiting and seeing and hoping he doesn't play his third game until one of your other rookies are ready to cash in but he is on the watchlist for sure.

Apparently Hibberd will debut next week.

<SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN-US" lang=EN-US>Hird said Heppell would be the only debutant for the Bombers, with Michael Hibberd likely to play in round two.

Has played well in Pre season. Should score Ok for a first year player.

Lower should be a good pickup. Has good fitnes, pretty good mark. Should score well.

Dont count on it. Remember, we have a big injury list aswell, which has contributed to his selection. I'm actually a bit surprised he got selected. But hes in my squad:D
 
Polec not playing for lions. strange.

should we change or keep faith....

No real surprise. :)

He hasn't been in our senior team for the last two weeks and word out of the club is that we want him to work on his defensive side before he gets promoted to the firsts. He'll play at some point this year but could be next week, could be week 12.
 
Is Richardson a stay at home defender or more of the running, rack up possesions type?

Cant decide on my forward bench combo out of Richardson, Tapscott, Darling and Matera.
