I'm actually going to bypass Collins and pick Tom Lee instead. Just think Collins might be a 50-something scorer and Lee more of a 60-something. I got Tucker last week so 2 FURL defenders makes me nervous also. Have not many round 13 players so happy to carry another.
Lonergan -> Lee
Brown -> Trengove

Going a week early on Trengove as both trade outs need to go this week and he looks the safest of the 1-game players.

Sneaky Mail from a friend - Mabior Chol a strong chance to play this weekend for the Tigers. Will play as a defender though, not Ruc/Fwd so possibly not too SC relevant. Has a huge kick on him and takes an impressive mark!

shattered. i had better keep my mouth shut. He isn't far away though.

I have asked this question in the def thread as well,
Does Tom Lee have better JS now that Goddard is out.

Also Sam Reid might be a good rookie priced fwd option

You would think so, at least for the next 4-5 weeks. All 3 of the first-choice KPDs are out for the Sainters but when Fisher and Dempster return Lee is likely to be dropped again.
I suppose it depends on how well he performs compared to Delaney too.

Jansen is playing. Mathieson isn't. No brainer.
May I add that I'm fine over the byes in terms of numbers playing and can afford to go Mathieson if need be, so its more Jansen Vs Mathieson long term

Mathieson went out of the side with Rocky saying he had a lot of work to do on his team standards. This in a side full of injuries that has won 1 game for the year. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't play again for the year. Get Jansen.

Exactly this. It's not about the fact that Jansen will play over the byes and Matho won't, it's the fact that the Brissy selection panel have Jansen ahead of Matho.

Jansen had an absolute spud game on the weekend but laid 7 tackles and survives. Matho was at 57%(?) TOG in the game before he was dropped. They're not prepared to unleash the so called "Beast".

Fantasy Freako tweet: In a team that loses cont. ball by 14.4 per game (18th), the Lions need Jansen to play. He ranks 2nd at the club for cont. poss. (10.5 p/g).
