Hip, Groin and Knee injuries last year. Am still salty about that groin injury GWS didnt tell us about. Risk/reward, hes a top 5 mid fully fit, but I'm going to let it slide.
They're completely dishonest as a club when it comes to injury. I'm pretty torn, he has so much upside it's not funny. According to the prospectus Ed Curnow was actually tagging him that day he put up a 205 :eek::eek: Yeah I'll pick him if he plays JLT2.

Picking a player like Kelly or Fyfe is also dependent on how much risk your side has overall, currently I only have Williams and Witherden as my mid pricers, with Tim Kelly and Dunkley the only other ones with any real risk of losing premium status.

Language, grammar, sentence structure and paragraph delineation can change understanding and meaning.

Not sure I agree with that, if a player looks a bit slow after an interrupted preseason....it’s just a risk not worth taking

Obviously if they come out in the 2nd one and dominate it can change your mind but Merrett didn’t look 100% and will be a lot better by round 1, but might not be at his best and might start the year averaging 100 the first 5 weeks. It’s a game of inches and everyone acts like someone being hesitant of starting a player with an interrupted preseason means they’re saying they’ll be terrible or will get injured straight away when what we’re actually saying is they’ll start a bit slower and will average 5-10 less than other options at the same price. Full fitness means optimal performance.

Who had their first uninterrupted preseason last year? Cripps. Whose preseasons were interrupted? Billings, Wingard, Kelly, Greene, Hurley, Neale
Good color, I wasn’t aware Neale had an interrupted preseason last year. Gives me a little extra confidence picking him.

Didn’t see a lot of the game last night, can someone let me know where Parfitt was playing.

Does anyone have his centre bounce attendances ?

Admittedly I only saw the back half of the 3rd quarter and some of the 4th, but it looked like he was playing out of the goal square to me. Seemed predominantly forward of centre...but as I said, I didn't see the entire match and the parts I saw I was watching on my phone...

Billings has been playing alot through the mid and has been good. Goldy floating behind the ball into the backline at times, Roberton not getting much of it, Steele looking the best of the Saints. Hind not bad from limited tog, Parker has played 100% tog deep forward, just kicked a goal.

Is JMac taking most of North’s kickouts?

He was a speculative one that I did have my eye on.
