Wardlaw has left North's training session limping this morning, not sure on severity - should be more info on it soon.

Low grade ankle issue it seems, nothing too serious

Which can only be good news for Windsor.

Did Dow do enough? $250k is more in the expensive cash cow range.

He would need to be a clearly better pick than my M8 (currently Hustwaite), because there's no way I'm sacrificing my M5 for him.

Last year in the pre season game we saw Gulden put up a 188 Supercoach which saw his ownership sky rocket and turned out to be a great pick.

Who does everyone think could do a Gulden and put up a good score to push their ownership up?

Will their be a premo go huge and demand selection or a mid pricer have a great role and score well.

My nomination would be Tom Powell as we look for value in the forwards and hopefully he shows us he has that locked in midfielder role.

The North midfield mix will be a fascinating watch on Sunday. Would love to see Simpkin moved out of there completely.

Fingers crossed we get LDU, Wardlaw and Powell/Lazzaro as the main 4

I think we’ve already seen a spike in Sheezels ownership since his 140 odd against pies, a lot of coaches were cooling on him with Fisher now down back, but he gave us a reminder of his class.

Wardlaw’s starting to get a bit of a start with him before he gets injured feel about him, bit like Fyfe or Jimmy Hird back in the day.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

I just took fyfe out of my side. I really hadn't thought about starting him till he was awesome against West coast. His numbers last year were bad. Stupid score predictor says my side is much worse. I must ignore score predictor!

 

[Athomas]

Zac Williams played 65 mins in VFL match (around 55% TOG) and got through unscathed.

Will be interesting if he plays Round 0 (I would say unlikely) but a chance for Round 1.

Either way has gone from close to a lock, to an important decision, if he gets up for Round 1.

He's best 23,not too many others at 250k that you can confidently say that about.

Score predictor needs to be taken with a grain of salt. It says Butters historically doesn't score well against West Coast. That's true enough until you consider he dropped a 58 against them in 2022 because he played while sick as a dog with a virus that went through Port that week (Bergman was a late out with the same illness).

Feels like a crucial decision as to whether I pick Williams or Massimo if both are named round 1. I don't think I can afford both!

I totally agree. Its just difficult ignoring score predictor when it indicates your side is better or worse!

Even if he plays round 0 and 1, you can still hold fire until after his bye in Rd 2 then jump on as part of adjustment trades. Might be worth holding some cash in reserve.

this is my plan - happy to not start and correct, will probably be trading fyfe to him via DPP
