To be honest, fitness has never been an issue for Whitfield. The guy runs just as hard in the last ten minutes as in the first ten and just keeps going: always been one of his best traits.

Does fitter = leaner = more breakable?

Hough reminds me of Whitfield...like peas in a pod.

You mean those long thin ones?
What's the name...

Ah yes - Sugar Snap!

Now that was good, very good, must pay that

Whats Mileras role even going to be when they are full strength, got plenty of questions personally before you even consider his horrendous durability.

I would suspect HBF with the potential to go to the wing. Also has the ability to play as a forward but I much prefer him behind the football to use his agility and kicking to move the ball up the field.

I assume yesterday's discussion about Hewett is now moot as he will quite clearly average 109 for the season?

Sorry - 131

like Tuck - thin, wiry, unbreakable

Keen to hear everybody's plans for Lloyd now he is missing round 1 with suspected covid. Is anybody considering resting him on the pine for the week and copping a meagre 50-60 from Gibcus/SDK etc - would set you up nicely early on with one of the best defenders in the competition low ownership. If he is out with covid are we expecting just the week or maybe a second to follow?

Very tempting. If you're playing for league win then definitely hold. I'll prob trade. I hate the seagull. This is the first year I've picked him in my starting line up and did so grudgingly so it's reasonably easy for me to give him the bullet now

 

[t.thomas6]

If he's named, I'll likely swap for Lloyd - gotta take some risks in this game

…and just like that 😏

Seems that way for a few fallen premos this year.

That's my biggest question and consideration, will he actually play next week?
If confirmed will play, I don't mind holding him and copping Gibcus's 56 this week.

But if he is out for more than 1, makes it harder to hold.

The joys of AFL in the covid-era. I have no doubt this will be an issue throughout the entire season, maybe it's better off holding knowing it's unlikely he will be out later in the season with covid again? Who knows.. I feel like it's more of a lucky dip than anything when it comes to avoiding these types of issues.

Crazy leaving that much cashing the bench for round 1.

Milera vs Chapman?

Chapman

 

[dylan123]

Milera as he's gone patches putting up very good averages meaning the ability to swap to a fallen premium mightn't cost too much.

2019 - 86 SC average from his first 7 games (rounds 1-5 before missing the next 4 games and then adding another two scores)
2018 - 91.8 SC average from his final 9 games of the season.

He's got plenty of injury issues in the past and is coming from an underdone pre season but he's a premium rookie price who is 24 years old.

W Milera:
Career disposals avg: 16.87
SC avg when disposals equal/exceed 17: 84.5 from 30 (11/30 below 80, 23/30 below 100)
SC avg when disposals below 17: 54.90 from 32 (29/32 below 80, 32/32 below 100)

25/38 with 17+ Disposals from 2018 onwards.
Post Bye 2018 to RD20 2019= 19/23 with 17+ Disposals for an avg of 83.17.

Need a defender under 305k

Help required (currently doing something crazy dumb that I never thought I'd do)

Has to be Chapman but dont love it. Grainger - Barass at 200 odd the next best IMO.
