Sandy team sheet just updated, Byrnes and Hayes held back from VFL team, Highmore and Connolly both listed on the ground. :mad:

I smell a late change in the AFL lineup meaning both Byrnes and Hayes could end up on the AFL team sheet, unless perhaps they just want to give Hayes a week off to rest given how far he's come as an SSP addition?

Won't know for sure until possibly anything up to 5 mins out from the Saints game (if there's a potential late change in the works), so that probably kills off any manouevring around Martin in the early game for those in that position.
Ugh. Why didn’t I bench Xerri?!!! 😩

Edit: For those rolling the dice hoping to get Dixon's score on the field and have the C on Hayes the potential impact of Hayes playing or being the sub is:

(96 - Hayes score) + (current VC score - Hayes Steele's? / Cripp's? / Touk's? score)
Love the potential carnage brewing haha.…..

Thanks for the info!
I'm too scared to take the risk so I'll miss macrae's VC score and I'll roll the dice on cripps/miller. Sucks to drop a 158 captain score but feel the potential carnage with Hayes as late in or even worse, sub, could really ruin my weekend and score! Given I need to know before bombers Crows to field Martin over Hayes I'm just going to rest easy and put Martin F6.

I’m gonna roll the dice on Hayes to try and get Maccas VC score, makes it more exciting 😉

VC on Macrae and cannot even get Hayes on the field.

If I could and it meant he was locked in, I would do it.

Hayes would be a risk of a late in, probably if Ryder sore and out. That wouldn't be too bad vs Nic Martin

risk of using him as a sub being a tall player would be so low. If not selected then C goes on him. If he plays he use him. if he is sub, you wonder what you did to deserve that!

I feel a little sick :sick:. I fielded Xerri over Brodie.
Got E on Brodie but I don't think I can justify burning another trade to loop him on. All green lights all year makes it difficult, but at least I'm making money.
I think I’m going to win the Ken Hinkley award this week for the worst coaching effort... my team was performing just fine before I started messing around with it ... gahhh!! 🤢

% call. Given the info you had at the time, it was the right call.
Thanks Rowsus, that makes me feel a bit better.... But what if I was to tell you that I also could have benched Martin but that the thought didn’t even occur to me because I was in such a rush to do something with Brodie just prior to lockout... just poor decision making by me... “ for I am Constanza, Lord of the idiots” 😅

Agreed - Hayes with Ryder out is a big win, would back him in against Martin I reckon.
