What's wrong with Defender Oscar McDonald @$123,000 mature age from Freo?
Nothing fundamentally. JS is a question and scoring is an issue but if he plays the 6-8 games he'll go alright.

Think that Howes, Gibcus, Hore, Coffield and Reid probably have higher scoring ceilings to people are going that way. With Williams in most sides, really only need to find 4-5 of that group so he's just the leftover.

I'd go one of the Geelong boys. Dempsey has the runs on the board but if Clarke gets his chance it speaks volumes how they rate him so I'm inclined to give him a go.

Have Zwill & Reid so no loop available in the backline, Howes, Hore and Coffield all getting a run.

Not even gonna bother with Clark tonight.
Have Reid and Roberts on field, Sharp and Sanders looped via Lyons.

Sexton at F6, had Wilson last night and Cadman on Sunday riding the bench.

Clark named on ball so I think theres a fair chance he goes alright. Fortunately
I have Carroll, so I will stick the E on him and if he racks up a big score, then Robert’s gets benched.

DEF: Only line I have a legit loop with the injured Reid. Can loop Hore, or Howes with Coffeild?
MID: Think I'll bench Sanders and play Sharp against North
FWD: Thinking Cadman should be on field against West Coast, but who to bench of Sexton, Berry, Jordon, or Fisher?
(no loop unless I bench Grundy and swing Livingstone into forwards which seems a bit silly in an 18 player round. )
Edit: actually just silly in any round.

In what order you do you guys reckon?
This is my current thinking:
Roberts, Sharp on field, then either Sanders vs Wilson's score of 59?
Have to play 3 of them.
Thinking I'll roll the dice on Sanders not getting subbed this week?
I have 22 playing so as long as they beat Daicos score :ROFLMAO:

Yeah I've got a 60 (Clark) and 59 (Wilson) as my E's and while they are fine scores in a best 22 week, I'll roll the dice in a best 18 week to try to get a 70+. The downside of a 20-35 isn't as much of a factor this week in best 18. (Same example as you basically, I'll be playing Sanders, Roberts & Sharp over Clark's 60)

Thanks @Athomas yeah best 18 takes the edge off the decision
