Hanners back to early season form very lucky to score what he did.
Gawn to be 510k next week. If you want a POD in your Rucks...don't pick him!

Might be less the week after
There is a lot that has, and will be, said about Gaz this week but there is one stat that cements his greatness for me.
At the Suns, a bottom team, his CP numbers up until his injury are outstanding:
2011: 14.75 - 2nd in comp.; 2012: 14.9 - 3rd; 2013: 14.9 - 2nd; 2014: 17.6 - 1st then injured. In his last year at Geelong, 2010: 11.46 - 3rd.
In that same period, JPK was the only player to come close to Gaz in CP numbers:
2011: 14.7 - 3rd; 2012: 16.9 - 1st; 2013: 16.4 - 1st; 2014: 16.1 - 2nd. In 2010: 8.58 - 31st;
But JPK was never subjected to the same hard tags which Gaz had to endure. We have seen this year what happens to other players when put under a hard tag. Gaz went through that treatment almost every week.
JPK is a renown in-and-under, hard-at-it player. Not Gaz. Why? Is it because his CP numbers get lost in all the other things he does well?
According to CD:
"During 2010 and 2014 Ablett was the only player to finish in the top 10 for contested possessions, uncontested possessions, metres gained, goals, score involvements and score assists.
No other player in that period reached the top 10 in more than three of those categories and only Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury ...... was inside the top 100 players for all six categories."
But it is the CP figures that cement it for me: there is no contest, he is the best I have seen.

Ahhh I have Greenwood on my midfield bench and an zero on my field because of Green! It's actually all because I had Lynch as an emergency just in case he pulled another 30. When Lynch scored 126 I put Bolten (who's not playing) on my field! Parsons score also going waste on bench!!
But what will Sandi be after this week? I'm guessing some (like me) are looking to upgrade sandi to gawn this week and Sandi going out won't help Gawn be the bargain he could have been?!Gawn to be 510k next week. If you want a POD in your Rucks...don't pick him!
i to traded in greene, but only had parsons 49 for cover, better than nothing i suppose
R12 i was ranked 169, now after R15 853. the last 2 weeks have been projected to score 2400+ but have been 2200 only
If Newnes gets Def eligibility next season I think he'll be one of my first picked, looks to have come on a lot as a player this season.
