Anyone with a brain would have looked at the draw and seen North vs GC, which would allow Ziebell to feast on the GC midfield.

I do not have a brain.
But then you see his next two opponents are GWS and Collingwood. Not saying he won't score well, but his big score today could easily be cancelled out by 2 poor showings against two strong teams. Especially if he doesn't play in the middle.

Played: P Dangerfield, T Atkins, L Baker, T Kelly, L Neale (VC), P Cripps (debut), H Andrews (debut), W Setterfield, N Answerth.
Yet to play: T Goldstein, C Burgess, R Laird, B Smith, R Sloane, Z Williams, J Kelly (C), I Heeney, J Lloyd, M Hore, B Grundy, O Baker, C Oliver.

After missing Cripps all last season I finally selected him this round replacing S Walsh, completing my midfield and have been pleasantly surprised by his astronomical score but a shame that I didn’t VC him on debut instead running with L Neale. Gave H Andrews another go, replacing L Whitfield due to his very short and unfortunate stay in my side last season and content with his score considering he had less than 10 touches and his consistency was 1 of his main allures.

Congrats to all the coaches that gave Danger/Cripps the VC/C as this will be extremely beneficial in softening the blow dealt by some of the poor scoring rookies.

Only 3 rookies included in my 18 out of a possible 7 rookies from 22 available players so assuming L Baker and N Answerth scores drop I will be
7/789 with 1 rookie left assuming Setterfield’s score stays.

Answerth’s poor performance will ensure he is traded, allowing me to grab R Gray to replace him via W Setterfield and M Hore and T Akins will likely be traded to L Ryan and D Clarke and if everyone maintains their spot I will have 20 available next round.

No Hateley is annoying but still have 19 so Answerth 33 drops out. Thankfully Burgess is pulling one out of his behind. Glad Sloane is in. :) But will probably cop De Boer tag. :(

Burgess just went off hobbling - maybe cramp but who knows...

Started the 4th quarter in the ground.

Here's hoping he can put up a 20+ point quarter and the Suns can make it a close one.
Do mean as in buried? Like dead? And the 20+ will be a Lazarus like performance? Or return from the dead but Easter was a while ago.

Right AC joint injury. Fell on the point of his shoulder when being tackled. Was really bad luck.
