Hamstring tightness always makes me worried, lol

Expect it to feature prominently over the coming weeks.

Yeah, we are in for a rollercoaster ride for sure due to the break between R1 & R2 and the different training the players have and haven't done.

It's really going to test both the clubs and us Fantasy coaches out.

Whilst regarding the NRL below, it is still transferable to the AFL.

Are the team anouncements the same as normal, ie Wed 6pm for the Thurs game, then Thurs 6pm for the rest of the round?

 

[NT.Thunder]

Trouble with Naismith is he's playing late on Sunday and the trades needed really need to be locked in place early with Howe, Ceglar, Fort, Neale, Sturt all playing pretty early in the round. Decision really needs to be made Thursday but I reckon Naismith will be given to Sunday to prove his fitness. An actual hamstring injury would've been much better when working out SC trades.

Apparently Sinclair was rucking at the swans intraclub training with Naismith no where to be seen. I reckon there’s probably enough doubt to assume he’s out. D.Cameron provides decent rookie cover but needs to be traded in on a Thursday and set as E.

But anyway, I’m even happier with my move to bring in Gawn as I can not worry about Naismith cover.

 

[gutsroy]

Is Pittonet a viable option?
Know very little about him, seems to have had some continual improvement and reasonable VFL stats and a clear runway for a few weeks.
Naismith game timing with the other permutations not ideal.

See the attraction of this option, looking at what ways there would be to bring it about, too.
Seem three main options (at first glance)
Pittonet
Jacobs
Gawn

Excellent stuff, thanks Connoisseur (and Bomber18 and Bermi and Rowsus) ?

 

[Herbie66]

no Stephenson Thursday night , good for T Brown.

Varcoe & Wills to miss as well.

DCameron as well.

But I think Pittonet or Gawn are the best options if you can make it work. Pittonet has great JS but would probably only score 50 against Gawn (Marshall had only 50 against Gawn last year!)

Showdown to have 2000 fans, crows fans to get 475 of those with it being a Port Power home game.
