Did you think so? I saw a couple of stuff ups but I thought he went OK for a young fella.

OMG. I hate it when things like that happen. All you can do is tell yourself that something like that happens to every single SC player at least once a season. Happened to me twice last season. But, having it happen before the first game of the season ... ouch.

At what point in the game did you post this? He wound up looking OK, didn't he?

400K sitting in the bench? Are you seriously contemplating that? No. Just no. Davis, and Hewitt named. Gresham likely. There's your midfield bench.

Tipungwuti had been upgraded

Nothing. I think I read Essendon can upgrade players at any time ... but it is 3.30pm. Not lookin great for Ruggles. :(

Lock in option "c" - the midfield. :p

But since we're here option two for me by a fair way. Feel Gawn is a solid but not spectacular pick and a few other rucks I prefer. Parker again solid but there a fair few others who seem like safer picks to be top level primos in the mids. Duncan - not one if the two Cats mids I really want...

Looks fairly solid to me. I can tell from your forward line you like to live a little dangerously ...

Kreuzer is a very "brave" pick for mine. Played just well enough last year to inflate his pice but not well enough to give you any confidence that he could make keeper level. It is like the worst of both worlds - no history of premium output - and not cheap. Oh, and before I forget very very...

Whoa! Two Brads! This may get a little confusing. I'm going to consider on of you Sauce-Brad and the other one Stef-Brad. Now ... just neither of you ever change your rucks! :p

OK ... I have a feeling that most will see this as a pretty silly side with its ridiculously overstuffed midfield ... Shaw, Bartel, Rich, Lonergan, Dea, Adams, Hartly, Ruggles Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, GAJ, Rocky, Libba, B.Crouch, B.Kennendy, Gresham, Hewitt, Davis Goldy, NicNat, Grimley...

I'm actually struggling to spend my money at the moment. I've got Shaw and Fyfe and Goldy and I've somehow still got 300K in the bank wondering what to do with it. So many bargains in the midfield (and so many question marks over the top forwards) might be making people feel OK about the big...

Looks pretty solid to me. Sinclair is interesting but I wouldn't try and talk you out of him if you've thought it through. Only a couple of other risks (Buddy, Greene) and they look pretty well calculated. If the come off they will pay off big time. If they don't come off you should be able to...

Re Lonergan: Interesting info in this profile piece - http://m.goldcoastfc.com.au/news/2015-01-23/lonergan-up-for-the-fight- Mitch Hallahan spoken about as the main emerging inside mid competition. Does contain positive info about Lonergan's pre season and fitness levels. I'm pretty sure I read...

So ... Eliot Yeo. Was all the rage when prices were released (as was B. Smith) ... seems like now you couldn't give the guy away. Few reasons he could be a good pick. Played about 60 games. Coming into his 5th season. Got used in defence last year to cover some injuries. If he manages a 10...

I like Lonergan given the coach has discussed a definite midfield role. Of course he'll have to play well to take keep playing there but he seems a reasonable pick. Could get squeezed out when/if the regular midfield comes back ... but you can cross that bridge when it happens.

So the take away from this is - if he was getting the mid time already last year - and he was scoring crap - we can't pin our hopes on more midfield minutes to improve his scoring. Hmmm. Just when I'd locked him in and was feeling happy with the team ...

Selwood reported got through his VFL warm up with flying colours. So: Fyfe + Mitch Brown (ESS) vs Selwood + Lonergan Lonergan would be D4, otherwise I'm fielding 3x backline rookies. :eek:
