It’s more so the fact he’s a much improved player across the last 18 months for mine. A great user, and they found a spot for him to provide some dash and dare out of half back. They look to get the ball to him wherever possible. And will setup off the back of stoppage as the outlet. Ward at times on the weekend was tasked with trying to somewhat negate his influence across half back, which had next to no impact whatsoever.
Was my next in line DEF option prior to round one, and really wish I backed myself in and took him instead of Whitfield. Thankfully I targeted him late last year and got him in one of my keeper leagues.

Didn't see the WC coast game, but Dixon would seem to be playing well and his JS just went up. No brainer
Of the two Freo boys, NOD just looked so good in a very SC friendly role. His 17 in round 2 was when he was on as a late medi-sub and with that score falling out of his average he goes up plenty for the next two weeks. I would think 60-80 is the range he will normally score in as not every team uses the ball as poorly inside 50 as the Giants, however he will ton up again this season as his work rate and ball use are first class. The DPP is also a big bonus, and I will be trading him in, it's the out that's difficult.
I barely noticed Erasmus, and I suspect he's first out if Freo get some players back. Unless you are desperate for a downgrade i'm not sure he's worth a trade right now.
I think this is the right call on the freo rookies. Erasmus in all likelihood will be the first out for Serong given they play similar positions and while he has been okay, hasn’t set the world on fire. Given there is far less competition for the role NOD plays I reckon he has firmed up his spot in the team for a few weeks now.
Outside of fyfe, freo have an almost full squad to pick from. So selections this week will be telling.

With a lot of DPP changes Ward > D Rioli (McCartin onto the bench) Rachele into my mids to cover for Cripps if he is out this week and puts deKoning on fwd bench. Is Rioli a potential keeper at D5 or D6 $419 d/f - 71, 111, 107, 101. Any thoughts thanks.
