Rachele vs Hayes vs Ward (need to bench 2 and play 1)

With both Stephens & McCartin scoring well, definitely going to take both their scores. (A great dilemma to have.) I'll now need to bench two of those trio above.

Leaning towards playing it safe and benching Hayes & Ward only due to them playing later to cover late outs.

My choices this week:

M: D. Stephens v Ward v MacDonald v Rachelle
F: Brodie v Xerri v Hayes v Rachelle

Think I'll go with Rachelle in the mids and bench Ward... or potentially loop Rachelle or Stephens in the mids.

(The name Rachelle reminds me of the loner chick in high school who liked Metallica before they sold out - walked around in a Master of Puppets, T-Shirt.)
So take Stephens score mids - Ward to the bench, and hope N. Long (overfloater) isn’t a late in.

Loop Rachelle forward and bench Brodie if R. does ok - N Martin donut agent.

Reckon I’ll use Dixon as my C loop as there is no chance he plays. I know Martin doesn’t either, but he’s dependent upon what happens with Rachelle.

Whats an overfloater? I'm also planning to use Long for Stephens score. Do we know if Long has flown with the team?

I don’t know - I just made it up, seemed like a good alternative term for a floating donut. I think it’s also a Foo Fighters song… dunno. Anyway, not sure if he flew. Hopefully not, so he can float. 😎

Need to bench one of Berry/Brodie/JHF/Daicos for Dylan Stephens :unsure:

JHF could have a day out against the WAFL seconds, Berry has a good ceiling if his shoulder stays on, so maybe Brodie?
Seems like a solid 70s-80s guy really.

Think Brodie’s tank is questionable- probably the one I’d bench. But I got one of these horribly wrong last week.

That's a tough one, it's probably a 50/50 call between Brodie and Berry

Aaaand it looks like Nick Daicos might have been the one to bench. On track for a 50-60 now without some serious junk.
