He looked good but dropped away a lot in the 2nd half. He also had no-one near him in the first half and spent a lot of the game in the forward line. Despite him top-scoring, I'm actually reasonably content with not picking him. Also, I think the question of Hall V Greene has been...

Me too. I've watched every second and only realised halfway through the 2nd quarter that he was on the field. He'll be in the NEAFL next week.

KK late withdrawal with illness

Oliver.... I sense a rookie correction trade coming :eek:

Fair points and happy to elaborate a little more: 1 - A lot of those scores were early in the season but he still had quite a few later in the year as well, most notably on GF day and games against GC and ADE later in the year. If you look at his last 9 games he only averaged 97. His first 8...

I've had NicNat/Gawn all preseason and I've just traded NicNat up to Goldy. I picked NicNat as he's fit and has averaged 114 previously. However, if you go back and look at that season in depth he actually only topped 125 on 4 times and most of his scores were in the 100-120 range. He had 8...

Thanks FBD In terms of Round 1, big thing I noticed last night was the Tigers gave up a lot of points and didn't score much themselves, especially through the midfield. Last year I think they were the most miserly. Not sure what we can take from that, but maybe don't be too afraid of guys...

Right you are, was getting him confused. I guess what they have shown is they're not just going to gift games just because someone is young or inexperienced. They're picking the side they think will be most competitive. Another reason I wouldn't expect guys like Parish, Francis, Laverde...

Not sure about Hartley. Brown and Ambrose are there as tall defenders (maybe add Gwilt and Gleeson too) and given they are all listed players (not top-ups) you'd think they'll get priority if it's a close call. They've shown their hand at selection table and I wouldn't bank on that changing...

Shiel/Dea for mine

Both were in my side yesterday, but both out now unfortunately. Trengove in particular is too good to pass up at that price. I might leave them for downgrade targets in a few weeks or as a fix for an underperforming rookie/midpricer.

Tom Lee is interesting actually. I never even looked at him given his name, but his scoring history isn't terrible to be honest. At $123k he'll make plenty of $ but it's only if he gets games. The Saints paid a premium for him so you'd think they might want to give him a decent crack at it...

Gresham's stats in the NAB weren't bad. I was very put off by the fact they only played him in the 2nd half in the last NAB game thinking he's not going to get a lot of game time just yet. No doubt he looks good, but I wasn't convinced he's going to get a lot of early games. Now that he's...

Sounds like a lot of people going Gresham/Hewett/Davis as their midfield bench. I'm very worried about the J/S of all of those. I picked Davis cause he's so cheap. I couldn't take Gresham. Hewett I might have picked in place of C.Eliis if I had been able to get on. I'm worried that all of...

Yeah but I don't know when the damn thing finishes!!!

31 years

He did 147 in the corresponding game last year....

Was planning to get on in the window when teams were named and make a few reshuffles, but forgot it's still daylight savings down south. Weitering, C.Ellis and Menadue on the bench. No emergencies set. :( (stupid no-daylight savings here in QLD :mad: )

Tempted to use Petracca in the mids for loopholing, but not sure it's worthwhile. He's back about round 6 by the sounds of things, but risky to hold a bloke that long with no guarantee he'll even crack the side straight away.

I would have thought if he's fit that he would have been in front of Cheney and Hartigan who are solid citizens but not much more than that. Otten is more talented but we haven't seen him for a couple of years. If he's picked, I might go with him.
