.@GoldCoastSUNS confirm 5 new faces for R1 - Nick Malceski, Mitch Hallahan, Jarrod Garlott, Touk Miller, Adam Saad #supercoach

Garlett hasn't been mentioned much. If he isn't named sub, he makes for an interesting decision v Cockatoo/Anderson who play in the last game.

Garlett looked pretty average their last NAB game I thought. Surprised he's getting a debut.

Almost guaranteed to start as the sub.

 

[PC]

Depends if the plan involves him as a floating donut in the meantime. Might have to check out how many late games Richmond have. I doubt it's that many unfortunately.

If he gets a late call up tonight, then all is moot!

I saw that tweet also. I though he got elevated last week

Edit: Whoops - wrong A. Saad. I was thinking of the GCS's one - lol

 

[jobeywatto]

Any word on that Sinclair bloke from St.Kilda?

 

[Johnsy44]

A mate from work told me his brother (who is a runner at Carlton) mentioned that smith will be the sub tonight. I'm still hoping he isnt

that mean get him out?

Dammit, really not worth getting at 150k, and probably means Lonie won't play.

Gee rookies galore!

Never thought Lonie was realistic option myself.

sorry if this has already been asked...after tonight's match can I still make free trade to my team it will be counted toward my 30 trades? cheers

Rich & Blues players will be locked, but you can still trade everyone else and it won't count towards the 30 trades.

Due to the nature of the h2h league games not starting until later rounds, when rolling lockout happens this evening, will other coaches (in the same league) be able to see our teams? Or not? (Even though we are still able to adjust those in the later games)

Wondering if someone knew how this worked? Thanks

Think you might be able to see other people's teams. I've been planning to 'steal' the best looking side in my league rather than do any research myself this season.

 

[Grant]

I predict Clem Smith will become a cult hero after tonight's game for the following reasons:
- We (Carlton) quite possibly butchered our other three draft picks so he is our main new hope.
- He is under 180cm so is more relatable to the average person than a tall muscular player.
- He allegedly is hard at the ball and can tackle, which most Carlton players can't do well.
- Eddie Betts was extremely popular and hasn't been replaced (Dale Thomas is definitely not a fan favourite).

 

[jaca]

...but is he any good?

 

[Grant]

...but is he any good?

Yes in real terms. Interestingly his 2013 NAB U18 Championships was better than 2014. He was one of only two underage players to be All-Australian. Also played 10 WAFL games last season.

No in SC terms. I called Clem Smith the 2015 SC Jarman Impey in the rookie thread. Hence, I'll not be picking him as they'll be better rookie mids available.

If he has 5 disposals and kick no goals I suspect Carlton fans will be preparing their knives and forks to eat their own.

Don't think you can see other teams

Saad being elevated off the rookie list without any mention of Sinclair probably means he won't get elevated.
