Seems obvious but I'm not sure:
Gibbons v Constable.
Gibbons playing upfield more looks good, no?

I was thinking Constable the obvious pick too. But Gibbons last game where played up the ground may score more than Constable.
Not sure, 50/50 for me.
I’d stick with Constable in that case. Has had a rest, and from memory scored 60 just before that and had previously been 84+.

Gibbons has just had the one good game and is back named in the pocket this week (from the flank) for whatever that is worth. From memory Carlton may make up their team sheets though.

So from last week's team Polson (small forward) out and Curnow (tall forward) in. Not sure what to make of that.
Also Silvagni played last week and played well as small forward (I assume), which coincided with Gibbons good score upfield. Silvagni named on bench. I'm just thinking Gibbons will play similar role as last week?

Yes, hard to know for sure. I’d defer to a Blues fan, but if in doubt I don’t think you’ll go too far wrong with Constable. From memory these rests can be pretty helpful for rookies.

Need to lock this one in by Friday due to Moore DPP.

Clark vs Parker.

I'm thinking maybe Clark after a rest.

Collins vs Clark
Setterfield vs Drew

I’m actually really tempted to go Setterfield over Drew with how bad he is in losses and Carlton not having a very difficult match..

What’s Answerth’s JS like ?

Need to trade Scrimshaw to avoid a donut and Answerth is the most viable option for myself.

Same boat at this stage also (may change once I reassess my trades after teams have dropped), but thinking Clark as well mate.

Slightly concerning given Bailey and Andrews will be pushing for selection next week.
I'm hoping that next week we see all 3 named in the same side, or at least Andrews and Answerth (with Answerth preferred in the side over Bailey), then it will make picking Answerth less daunting.

Who would you rather onfield...

Collins vs. Parker ?

This X vs. Y onfield decision determines my trade outs for the week.

Collins!

Parker won’t see much ball against GWS.

Collins will have plenty of chances for intercept marks with the ball likely spending a lot of time back their against WC. Just hope WC don’t use the ball exceptionally well and he should pick up a 60+.


How about Collins vs Clark? Haha

I started Collins on field the other week for the first time when he got about 30-40. It's agonising looking out for him to get a kick. You'd want to hope he gets a few intercept marks which is what he relies on for scoring.

Cheers mate, I'm going Clark over Collins hahaha. Hence my need to decide where I locate Darcy Moore, either FWD or DEF as he locks out in the first game of the round. Even though Scrimshaw is rested this week I'm wanting to move on Collins over him, it seems illogical but I just have a gut feel about trading Collins over Scrimshaw this week.
