I put Arthur Jones into my side this morning. I wonder if he will be there tomorrow! I like him as a player. He was eligible to be a west coast academy rookie but for some reason they didn't nominate him. *would be getting a game if he was at wc)
Correct, I have him in my team also - very disappointed WCE didn’t take him, breaks the lines & uses the ball well/ has afl qualities.

His first match against sa last year was so exciting. He obviously had talent and 'afl attributes'. I dont know why clubs don't nominate more is more of players available for academy spots. If they arent any good there's no loss. Anyway he might be a bit raw for supercoach but bulldogs are good with rookies and he's worth a look.

Am I the only one not excited by Hayes and Dixon basically at all.

I thought Dixon played great last week but Allen is only out a few weeks most likely and then he's going to have to have outperformed Kennedy or Waterman to stay in and that's an ask. Will get a chance to change it but feels like a strong 1 price change guy.

Hayes even weaker, although playing ahead of Campbell is at least something but hard to see how he plays if Ryder is fit and it's not that hard to question how he plays even if he isn't with Sharman, King and Membrey already manning the main 3 tall spots and Sharman having done a bit of ruckwork in preseason as a decent indicator he could do it in the real stuff.

Hopefully they can prove me wrong :)

Coaches see a DPP with a 102K price tag and get week at the knees. Like the misses when she sees a 50% off, loses all sense of reason for the purchase.

Should still be on every coaches watch list.

Donut confirmed to start the season, also has DPP def/mid

while Uwland has been ruled out for the foreseeable future as he nurses a pre-existing stress fracture in his back.
