on field, no loops

Wilson/H Garcia v North
Rogers (as @benderiffic said, sub risk) v Bris at Gabba?
Clark v Melbourne
Wow, I didn't even realise Clarke had been picked. Never expected to see him again. Would like to trade him out rather than lose more cash 3k short of my option. Have to hope he an get a good run and spike... This round has already been crazy.

Total toss of the coin. Clohesy been trending down and copped the hand / wrist knock last week. Against Brisbane, my gut feel is Graham's game and role is more reliable for scoring than Clohesy but Clohesy has the higher ceiling IF he can hit the scoreboard. FWIW, Graham named on the ball (obviously it's only a team sheet with Rowell named at CHF :LOL:)

Just on Wilson, his game against North in the preseason was a standout. 24 disp, 10 marks for 106SC. Tempted to play him ahead of both Graham and Clohesy. No loops unfortunately.
Thanks for that friendly reminder. Here's hoping he does do well again as I'm looping him with Windsor with Mannagh as my donut.

Think Graham in the wet - loves to tackle so conditions should suit him better.
Yeah leaning toward Graham too.

Also have the option to loop Roberts & Clohesy down back using Hore. But Hore named as an emergency so may backfire if Roberts goes big. So probably safer to just field Roberts.

Slightly tricky one. Currently have Sweet R3 E, Reid M9 (but will move to F7 with a trade), Darcy F6. Also have Jackson/Livingstone loop.

My two options:
1) Lock in Sweet and choose between Reid/Darcy (Reid feels obvious but Darcy v hawks is a bit tempting)
2) Swing Jackson back up to R and play both Reid and Darcy ahead of Sweet

Play it safe and lock in Sweet's 74 and field Reid over Darcy. So option 1 for me.

Just how wet is this game going to be?

Considering straight fielding a Graham/Clohesy and throwing the E on Roberts.

Likely taking Windsor's 71...

Which one to bench?

Wilson vs Hawks
Clohesy vs North
Reid vs Pies

Jeez this is tough! You could make an argument for all 3 breaking 71 but statistically unlikely that they all do so I get taking Windsor. If I was a betting man I'd bench Clohesy, even though he's up against North his form has been trending downwards. Wilson on a hot run and Reid will win his share of ball against a depleted Pies mid
