L Neale:
Centre Bounce Attendance Rate: 96.67% (87/90)
Neale also basically doesn’t come off the ground, it seems, high TOG.
One which struck me was Yeo - high CBA rate, returning home soon, should bottom out around 450k.
Seems to have a sore shoulder etc., but with the upcoming run, might just be worth throwing a dart at the board and hoping it sticks.

Historically under Ross Lyon, his TOG was between the 77% to 82% mark, until last season boasting a TOG% over 85% (88.8%)

Career TOG% from 2020 to 2012

As for Yeo, I will also be keeping a close eye on him and will likely compile his Home and Away splits as well as highlighting his slow start to the season (without looking- likely due to poor disposal efficiency and averaging between 15-22 disposals).

Yeo is failing the eye test in a big way right now - could be having issues with being away from home etc like West Coast might be but he is in horrible, horrible form at the moment.

Tossing up Andrews or Ridley for Howe. Want one or the other so I have enough money so I can go Viney to Macrae this week. Unless anyone can explain why Macrae would be sufficiently impacted by the scoring changes?


Ridley leaves me with more money, which might help me to get Whitfield next week ( a lot of scenarios are possible so hard to imagine what will happen). However, I don’t like the fact Ridley has got a small number of career games and the fact McKenna will likely return. Andrews seems very suited to the new scoring where impact counts for a lot.

Andrews leaves me with just 5k, and team would look like this:

Fingers Crossed in 2017-2019 tiggies turn up this week, can't allow being beaten by Melbourne, ask Jordan McMahon!
Didn't that goal work out well for us! My old man is a Dees man so it would be extra painful for me.
Though I gotta admit I'm quite content even if we do begin to fade away now... The last few years have been incredible given I've been a supporter for 30 years

What are people's thoughts on Maynard? Looking at Maynard or Crisp as a potential trade in for Howe. The other alternative is to downgrade to Ridley or even further down to Williamson, Young or Hill and use the cash elsewhere, but that would leave me with 3 premos and 3 rookies on the DEF line (a step backwards).

Is anyone else considering holding Fyfe? I know the "1 - 2 weeks" could turn into 3 but even that isn't an absurd amount of time to hold a premium player. I want to go full premo this season but it is increasingly unlikely with the amount of popular players getting injured and requiring trades.

I already have Howe to deal with this week, tempted to just sit Fyfe on the bench and trade Viney or a fattened rookie instead.

Definitely has more upside as an option but I really worry he’s a fake premium, with a small sample size, a lack of games under his belt and the return of McKenna. I’m also not sold on his job security.
He’s been one of your best this season. Surely his JS is solid. Surely??

Unsure on Viney now myself was gonna hold him because he had 3 lower opposition sides Swans,Dockers,Dogs but now has changed Tigers,Dockers(doubtful),Bulldogs? Covid restrictions has once again thrown it into the unknown especially someone like Gawn now won't have Sinclair/Mclean,Lobb/the other one,English.

Maybe....but he's only got some job security now that he's played a few good games. He wasn't in our best 22 last year or according to most people heading into the season. McKenna comes back in and his job security is definitely in danger if he has a couple of bad games.
