He went for a species and got tunnelled by his team mate. Landed heavily and went off for 10ish minutes. He came back on for the last few minutes and should be fine.
Yep, tunnelled by a teammate who was pushed in the back by a Richmond player. The umpires need to look more for pushing in the back this year, Tigers been doing for years.

I see a lot of 'Macrae VC' in scores - we all dunkin donuts?
I've rejigged and probably won't take Macraes vc now. Have been able to get a setup that hopefully is fully playing, after thinking I had to put a don't in somewhere. I had been sitting there with Rachele on the midfield bench without even contemplating that he could be on the forward bench instead of some random donut. Hopefully that allows me to make additional dollars.

Now to hope for a good score from Lachie Neale.

Last years pre season he said he was the fittest he'd been, then you see this. I've made the switch, I know he's priced great, but he's reached the pinnacle. Whereas Touk keeps on improving. The other factor is Neale going home due to family with a new bub, he'll see out his contract, but will he apply himself 100%?

I'd read that as honesty now and bull**** last year, but... the seed of doubt is going to be there. Does he have the drive and pride to get back to Brownlow form, and leave the modelling and Woman's Weekly articles?

You've put the thought in my head:

Instead of

1.Lloyd to Crisp

2.Lloyd to Sicily; Neale to Touk/Steele/ et al.

?

You guys have to keep putting these thoughts in my head...

SC give a few free hits every year. Cogs and Neale are this years free hits.

Traded Lloyd to Hewitt last night which now leaves $208K in my bank accnt, but actually don't see a way to improve my team by spending it and want the players I have. Wouldn't normally take that amount into next rnd but think I might for correctional trades. Did consider the idea of bringing Preuss in this rnd but think I will just hold. Ahh SC so many headaches
I've often thought it's a useful way to start the season but always end up spending close to the cap due to some weird FOMO thing. The year I finished 11th overall, I went into round 1 with $235k in the bank. It came in very handy for those post round 2 adjustment trades. If you're happy with your side and it fits the structure you planned for, sit on the cash.

I hope you're right.

The other thing is I'm not as convinced about Sicily as value in a year when the backline is where you need as much depth as you can get rather than the midfield. There are ways to fix Neale if he is a fail, but Sicily not so much.

Yeah, I like to leave that wriggle space for early corrections, but has been very hard this year.

Agree, can also look who you missed already this round. Example I wont English and was thinking to go Lloyd to Sicily and have the cash to do Xerri to English if Xerri fails, but just short.

Also seriously wavering on Sic. Back from injury, much more comp for him across HB and he could be used up forward. He's the one I'm least convinced about in my team and may move him up to Ryan... let me know what way you go!
