I'm confused with Rozee's foot. Serious enough to go all the way interstate to see a specialist, but his foot is not bad enough to play against the Crows 
It was reported that Rozee's 'heel' injury limited his impact last year. So, if the club will continue to monitor and manage the issue, does that mean he will have limited impact this year also?
I hope the practice game tomorrow will give some answers.

I had the kid in my side since it opened but recently changed him to Caldwell. Might change it back after tomorrows practice match.
Nick Murray playing for Crows. Lets hope he doesn't follow his brothers lead.
I believe Cox is the backup tall defender/ was a fwd so can play either end.
Hamling when fit is automatic best 22/ Pearce also but has missed so much footy. Logue the other option - I think they play 2 of those 3, Ryan becomes the 3rd tall.
Conca has stated he looks like playing as the lockdown small defender playing on the most dangerous fwd.
That leaves Young/ Wilson/ Chapman for the last 2 spots - reading reports I think Young is a lock, he & Ryan sharing kick in duties.
Wilson has been inconsistent the last few years, I think Chapman is pressing hard/ another strong performance tomorrow will further press his claims for round 1.
Most teams pick 7 defenders for games with the rotations, so Chapman will also be right in the mix for one of those 4 spots. My opinion anyway - kid is a huge talent, watching the vision of him you can’t help but be impressed.

Obviously Estimated SC Score is not an exact science, given there is so many other statistical categories that go into producing a SC score, scaling and game situation factors, etc. FWIW from closely rewatching the game and specifically these players, gut feel is Walsh and Cripps scores are pretty well ballpark in my eyes, maybe Williams feels 10-15 overs, Heppell maybe 5 overs, and Cahill about right, he was quite impressive on the watch back and with a couple more effective kicks rather than turnovers would've pushed a 70 type number.
I was pretty strict on the ineffective kicks and also what constitutes a tackle in the stats sheet throughout. As I tried to judge everything as best I could based off my learnings over the years from my mate who works as a stats caller for CD.

Just reading through your summaries, seem pretty spot on to me. It looks like our opinions were relatively similar on those five players that I did the numbers on. No unfortunately I only did the five, I would've liked to have done Caldwell and Dow, but had to stop somewhere or otherwise I'd have been there all night hahaha. I do agree, Merrett had a really nice role. Will be interesting to see what happens when McGrath comes back in, if Merrett keeps that same role and genuine midfield time then he is right on the radar for sure.
FYI I think @KLo30 may have posted a link to the replay of the Tigers Dees game in the thread sometime earlier tonight.

Wogi game summaries were legendary at FFC
When you don’t get a chance to watch a game they are invaluable.
I watched most of the Carl v Ess, agree with most of the comments. Little surprised on the Waterman ones though, for the limited time he had on the ground he certainly had a real impact/ looked the most dangerous bomber fwd when on the ground.
