    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    You'd go JJK to start and Lynch the upgrade option after the bye wouldn't you if you can't decide between them? Taking a Port or Suns player in your starting team is not far off locking in one less premium score X1 week. If you're taking a Suns player over a west coast player in your starting...

    2017 Injuries

    Bad for Coniglio. Good for Tim Taranto and anyone on the look out for a 200K M/F.

    Yes in this way you have a small chance of getting a worse outcome. In my example above I had Pendles playing the first game of the round, Meyers (out injured) in the second last game of the round and Danger in the last game of the round. Let's say I also have SPP on my bench (and Port is...

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    Ask yourself what you are trying to do with your season. Are you trying to win a couple of cash leagues? Or are you trying to finish the highest you can in overall. This dictates how much risk you want to build into your team. If you are trying to win the $50K you'll need to take a couple of...

    Say I have Pendles playing in the first game of the round and Danger playing in the last game of the round. Also I have David Meyers (for the sake of the exercise playing in the second last game). Pendles scores 160 so I put Meyers on the field (with the "C") and Danger on the bench (with the...

    @tabs Just to be clear it is not captaincy loopholing that you are talking about, right? I usually do a captain loophole but I don't bother loopholing other players.

    2017 Rookies

    More than two probably feels like too many. 2+ Swallow might be OK if you have no confidence in the cheaper guys getting ongoing games.

    Too bad. The kid has amazing skills for a 12 year old.

    Oh I completely agree. PS My POD is Joel Selwood. I'll buy you a beer when I collect the 50K and tell you all about what a good pick he was. ;)

    Team Ladder Predictions

    Teams that win more games tend to have more points to share around so which teams are likely to do very well or very badly may have some bearing in the primos we pick. A lot of sport journalist and commentators seem to have a pretty similar read on the upcoming season and where teams are...

    Sounds like Grundy is OK. Just a corkie: https://mobile.twitter.com/CollingwoodFC/status/838977470820823040

    2017 Ruck Cover

    He didn't have a disposal to half time against the Tiges. He rucked OK. Should improve as he gets more games but he looked pretty uninspiring as a starting SC pick I reckon. Lobbe played as well and went OK.

    2017 Backline Primos

    Good analysis. In favour of Touhy: direct observation of the way he is playing. More than the scores he is posting Touhy looks SC relevant. Against Touhy: history. He has a fair bit of it and the best of it falls well short of being SC relevant. Conclusion: could work out nicely but it...

    2017 Ruck Cover

    I know what you mean. I think I might actually have watched a bit too much footy this preseason and maybe done a bit too much research. Starting to do my head in. Note to self - next year only start paying attention in Week 2 of the preseason comp.

    2017 Rookies

    If we run short of forward rookies any going to be tempted by Cam McCarthy now he's over at Freo? 203K. Did post a couple of tons in his first season.

    2017 Ruck Cover

    Only preseason but I'm struggling to keep a lid on it as a Tiges supporter. Nank looks a good pick up for us. Gives us something around the ground as a ruck and damn it feels like a long time since we've had that.

    2017 Ruck Cover

    True. Looked fit which is probably the main thing if you're keen on him. Was mostly rucking against Stanley. Danger and Selwood were playing but hardly saw Danger in the guts at all and Selwood didn't do much either.

    Sauce looking good today. Only up against Stanley but Sauce is playing well.

    2017 Backline Primos

    Half time in the Cats v Crows game and Touhy is looking very ... relevant ... again. I've been sucked in before with players with similar profiles but it is going to be very hard to leave this guy out at the price.

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    I've only watched one quarter so far but Grundy and Sandi both looking good playing against each other. Griffin also playing for Freo and looking OK.
