Good point, hopefully :)
He’ll probably go to him. But the thing I loved last week about Oliver which was blatantly obvious to those able to watch him at the ground. Was that he just worked his arse off right from the first bounce, and all throughout the game. You could tell he knew he was getting O’Connor after De Boer went to him the week before, and O’Connor went to Mitchell the week before. And he just took O’Connor to the cleaners, simple as that. His running patterns and how he just burnt O’Connor was really pleasing to see as an Oliver owner if there’s going to be some attention going forward. Another year under his belt and a bit more maturity it seems for Clarry, that first half against GWS was hopefully the only major blip in his season.
They also had multiple team mates set up as blockers at the stoppages I believe - looked well versed

On Jordon and his TOG last round, Brayshaw had to be deployed in defence when May went down which meant he stayed on field longer than he usually would. This had a flow on effect to Jordon who played around 10-15% less TOG than he normally would.

With Petty or Hibberd coming in for May this week, I think we can expect to see Jordon's TOG back around the 65-70% mark again.

This is really making me question the Jordan to Waterman trade. Its either Campbell or Jordan, and the extra $50K that Campbell provides will be useful next week for an upgrade. Hmmmm.

while you are at it port fans - how about Bergman. I don't have him but he is my preferred trade in target to Waterman even with the extra 21k cost as in my mind butters and duursma out could give him time on a wing giving him both good JS and scoring potential. he seems a quality kid that i can see knocking out some half decent consistent scores once he gets a few games.

I'm going to break every SC rule I've ever known and trade in Finn Macrae and play him straight off the bat - eat that noobs!
:LOL:

Living on the edge, I like it.

Looking fwd to seeing him play at this level, I think he has the potential to be one of the best mid rookies this season & to have mid/fwd classification is a real bonus.

Feel I have a bit of freedon this year as I'm not in any serious leagues so have no pressure to let anyone down. Few left fields, look for a bit of luck and enjoy watching/listening to it again.

Where did you get that from dyl?

From AFL stats pro :-

Good discussion as always mate, really depends on your team's situation/structure in making your decision in the end.
Think the difference is I've excluded game 4 as I see that as a big outlier and more trying to show his role prior to that game. Guessing that's what makes the difference - too much effort to check on my phone at the moment.

Someone mentioned using him for Gawn which has crossed my mind (although I still lose Flynn in the process), how does Daniel v Tarranto go if you have both? At the moment, Tarranto is far less likely to reach premium numbers and not really making cash, kind of an interesting extra option I suppose.

No right or wrong answer at the end of the day but more opinions helps us all see it from as many angles as possible.

With Butters and Dursma out, do we see more of Drew in the guts?
Drew plays most of his minutes in the guts already.

Spitballing here but I think Bergman comes in - Houston goes to the wing until Bonner is back. The Butters replacement could be anyone of About 6 players including Farrell, Rocky & SPP. Reckon Bergman has a spot for a couple weeks at the minimum though.

That's funny cuz I was actually considering trading Bergman out to bring Waterman in lol :ROFLMAO:

I'm unsure if Bergman will get recalled but will gladly hold if he is. Awaiting Hinkley's press conference. He's usually very upfront and reliable when talking about the changes they're going to make unlike a few other coaches in the league...no names...

Don't really have a late donut so Grundy will likely be my VC, so this is nice news.
Unfortunately , Cameron in is worse news than Cox as he’ll take more ruck load than what Cox would/does.

The Pies look set to recall ruck-forward Darcy Cameron for the match, who could work in tandem with fellow tall Brodie Grundy against opponent Nic Naitanui, but Cox was not spotted at the airport.
