I was getting a bit of FOMO but gee looks like his body continues to be a concern. I have only owned LDU briefly before a last minute late out last season lol.

I was about to post that with Xerri rucking to LDU, Sheezel and Wardlaw, we could give a Petracca-less Melbourne a real scare.

But maybe not

Expect to see Tholstrup named for Melbourne at 6.20pm tomorrow night.

$153,300 FWD who is likely to see some midfield minutes with the absence of Petracca for the remainder of the season.

His last 2 games in the VFL has scored 100+ fantasy points so has potential to score well if he gets the right role.

Powell to Tholstrup in a few weeks to be my F6. 🤣

That'll be my fault. Brought him in after his bye. Sorry everyone!

 

[Mumtazz]

With a name like that, I've got to get him in. (So close to an anagram of Slothrop from Gravity's Rainbow.)

Thanks, you have inspired me to get an avatar

Thanks @Ben's Beasts, good enough for me, welcome to the team Mr Tholstrup!

Need a rookie this week and Worner's JS looks super dodgy

Post bye analysis for when teams are playing, higher number is better for looping.

I was wondering this as well.

Tholstrup in means I can put W Dawson back into defence to loop with Fisher. May as well have a crack!

Has he been playing mids in the VFL?

Tholstrup played in Rd 5 this year and scored 34 SC pts, hmmm, considering this, I think I will stick with trading in Schoenmaker.

According to FanFooty, Tholstrup played HFF in his AFL game in Rd 5.

Channel 10 sports report suggesting Oliver may play the Petracca role up forward? Doesn't bode well for their midfield if true. Apart from Viney and some part timers who else plays mid? Can't see it happening.

Not sure Oliver is doing much for the Dees midfield atm in any case, but agree it wouldn't be a good look.

Oliver is a very different player to Trac

His strengths are winning the contested ball at clearances/ stoppages then looking to handball to a teammate. He has never been a good kick nor is he a good mark overhead/ never seen much forward craft from him. He is essentially an inside midfield bull, not much versatility.

Trac has always had natural fwd craft with his leading/ marking ability/ his kicking on goal can be a little hit & miss - that’s about his only issue as a fwd. I think the dees should actually play him more fwd next year then they do currently.

 

[Professor]

Here it is. Oliver possibly playing forward

Channel 10 sports report needs to get off the sauce.

Yikes that sounds like a painful injury and recovery, do players actually wear some kind of protection playing AFL?
