Why didn't I have the balls to just pick Howe? He has everything going his way to be a top 6 defender this year.
Bit of down year last year, so was well priced, last year scared me off a bit, looks like his back to 2018 form

If I can take anything out of being a Bont owner it's 12 disposals, 0 marks, 6 tackles and 5 clangers for 62 SC points.........I mean, my god.
He's been pretty horrible tonight but I'll take that 60 SC at 3QT. Seems like the Doggies are rotating their other mids through the CBs a bit more this season as well.

I've got the AFL app "player trackers" open to see where the players line up at the bounces. Feels like the Doggies are sharing around the CBs a lot more in this game. Am seeing Wallis and B.Smith in the CBs a lot more than I expected. Macrae was just lining up at HF. Will be interesting to see the CBs for the Doggies in this game.
Did Bevo forget how good his midfield was last year when he finally played his Big 3 in the correct positions ? ?

Bont lining up in the forward line again at this bounce.

Really feels like the Doggies have shaken up their midfield rotation mix. Not looking great....
Could be resting him so he doesn't get injured before next game. Game was never going to break open for them after the first quarter. Collingwood defence very stingy tonight.

Pretty poor "captain's effort" if that's the plan when they're getting beat. Considering Bont as my first "rage trade" haha.

Don't forget, Dunkley had a similar start to last season where he was underscoring/seeming to have a poor role, and look at how that turned out. I'll be staying firm unless there's information to suggest an injury or permanent change to his midfield minutes.

Doggies play Carlton next week... Fair chance they have a big turnaround (I hope)
