Am I asking too much for a 160+ from Grundy tonight? 😏

Not asking for enough

Praying Meek stays in

Really, really hoping both he and Cripps ton up tonight.

Don't want to have to use trades unless it's for rookie corrections, long term injuries or players 'protecting themselves'.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Yep, and that's the problem. Not many teams/players can. I highly doubt anyone at Hawthorn can either this week, but maybe with the right structure in place it's possible.

Didn't watch the Hawks game, but saw a tweet saying that Sheils went to Zerrett in the second half and slowed him down immensely.
Dusty can be curtailed, but he was in finals mode last Thursday, looked very, very good.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

All this and beware the OPTIMISE button.

Didn’t even know it existed, pushed it instead of ‘show bye’ and changes your C, VC and even on-field positions.

Especially dangerous as there is no pop up like reverse trades where you have to confirm, it just does it.

A button does pop up that lets you undo the changes though.
I did the same thing going to check the byes, happened to be >1m before one of the games started, but lucky was able to undo it, otherwise it would if shuffled Gulden to the bench last round.

I reckon he is safe this week

Next week when Treacy is available might be less certain though

Isn't Treacy unavailable until he serves two match ban once WAFL starts?

It got over turned and he is now available for selection next week

Sanity prevails.. thanks for clarifying

Was gonna say... Heath Chapman probably isn't replacing Meek

But then there is that line about making three changes.
FWIW I think Meek still plays, you could hardly say he was that poor last week - he did his job.

 

[TigerTime]

could be 3 weeks, could be R3.If hunter struggles again one of the other two would be fast tracked you’d think.

I dont think they would be rushing Marshall given its his foot.
Ryder I suppose they could try and give the hurry along, but I wouldn't think they would push too hard either given its a wellbeing issue

Meek's spot is not really threatened directly by Treacy. Despite his SC classification, at 194cm Treacy is really only a forward with a chance of pinch hitting in the ruck. The real issue is Darcy.

 

[AngryAnt]

Wouldn't have minded if these rookie debuts weren't happening already.

From Herald SC website I think
GEELONG


Francis Evans ($123k FWD)


If he’s named: The question will be how long he can stay in Geelong’s team? It’s hard to trust Cats rookies after many KFC SuperCoaches were burned by Charlie Constable in 2019.


If he’s not named: Don’t panic — the forward rookies have more depth than any other line this year and Rowe almost certainly will be.

GEELONG


Played in AAMI Series (under $220k): Francis Evans (38), Sam De Koning (34)


Francis Evans $123,900 FWD


SC average: N/A


AAMI Series score: 38 (39 per cent TOG)


Drafted from obscurity in 2019 – playing just two NAB League matches – Cats fans caught their first glimpse of Evans against Collingwood and it was an encouraging one at that. The 182cm small forward booted two goals, putting his hand up for a Round 1 debut. Evans was benched until halftime in his side’s Community Series clash with Essendon but showed good signs once he came on, kicking a goal and finishing with 38 points.


SC verdict: Job security is the big question mark here, given Geelong’s stacked line-up. Appears to be just outside the frame.

Passss! unless I get a rookie injury between now and week 3
