[The Experiment]

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.

Maybe not directly, but 3 doesn't go into two and I think they'll only play two of Meek/Darcy/Treacy

Fullarton survives, there goes my loop option

 

[Rumbler]

Haha bloody AFL website has the headline "Lions dump speedster" so I thought it was Sharp! But glad I was wrong and happy he's in the team. Deciding whether to have him or Highmore as my D6

 

[The Experiment]

Jeez waiting til Thursday afternoon for the release of 2 teams is so anti-climatic!

 

[The Floggers]

Finding it hard to know where to place dow tonight. Thinking all my rookies will play this week. The new delayed team announcements suck.

Fwiw, ended up placing him on the FWD bench with the E.
Some concerns about his TOG and how often he'll be rotated through the middle with the Blues closer to their full complement.
Think the popular FWD rookies will be safe at selection this week.

 

[Zimmer]

What does Williams score, and how many points will he take off Cripps?

 

[Herbie66]

McKay & Murray in for Brown & Kelly so far announced.

 

[Professor]

What does Williams score, and how many points will he take off Cripps?

135 and 10 points only. 😆

 

[gutsroy]

Should have looked into this earlier, but: Does Pittonet have a reasonable record of limiting his opponents' scoring?
Haven't paid close enough attention to it.

 

[Zimmer]

That's cool. So Cripps 175 then.

 

[TeeButOne]

New recruit Z. Williams off to a flyer. Looks very comfortable.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Big game please Grundy

 

[Johnsy44]

Zac looking great so far, apart from that slip

 

[Wheedus]

Cripps is a beast

 

[Shannon]

Haven't paid close enough attention to it.

Quick research from last year's games v quality rucks suggests no :-

Gawn 184
Marshall 128
NN 129
Grundy 127

 

[Professor]

Is Walsh stuck on the bench, only 50% tog.

 

[madmunza]

Grundy looks terrible
