I am thinking whatever approach any of us have is not going to be a smooth ride. I basically not over thinking it. If there was some obvious wonderful cover that happened to be a side effect of how my team gets selected, well good but, not going out of my way to look for cover because do not have much confidence in obvious ones that got talked about when change in ruck line and hit outs to advantage stuff got presented to us all. We do not know enough to really know what is adequate cover anyway. I am actually in my SC account tonight. Unlike most of you, my team is nowhere near finished. I simply got what rookies I thought likely to be good for round one and some of the keepers I might go with but Wednesday, Thursday and even Friday is when I really have a SC team of some kind. Looking at my team right now I have a bit of an odd ruck division but who knows I may go with it due to the odd situation of ruck line for supercoach this year. I suspect I will be using a trade or two on ruck no matter what I do. The other lines I got more idea what to expect in season ahead so will try to get them as good as possible. Last year I was happy enough to basically nail a good backline set up and ruck set up but the forward line ended up being hell and midfield not good enough. I want to get a good midfield more than anything. The rucks I will just deal with as best as I can and hope for the best.

I would be on him in a heartbeat if he was.
I was not planning to have Mitch Clark this season as I thought when he got drafted to Geelong he was so far out of condition that would take him a good year to be firing. Watched him play last weekend and all I saw was very imposing figure up Cat forward line. He did pinch hit in ruck for a few minutes too. If Vardy gets fit will be interesting to watch Geelong with all Hawkins, Clark and Vardy in team. They will cause headaches for opposing coaches.

Winderlich's injury may have some benefit for Bellchamber's scoring, hear me out.
A LTI would open a spot for McKernan on the senior list. This would help out Bellchamber's against the teams who he would need support against as instead of playing Giles, they could play McKernan who has more flexibility and wouldn't take as much ruck time from him.
