Have a feeling neither will work out.
Think Bowes may struggle to break into their best 22 for a regular game each week however if Yeo is fit come start of the season and named round 1 he's an under priced option down back for what he can produce. He'd be in your starting side as a stepping stone to a gun most likely as wouldn't expect to be a keeper with his injury record (however if he stays fit for the season he could be a keeper as 6th defender who could average 90+ as he's done in the past). I have Yeo in my side ATM as a stepping stone. Good luck👍

Is anyone considering the Yeo, Hopper & Fyfe trio?
Yeo just seems to have so many soft tissue injuries these days. He has already had a slight issue in pre season. He was very consistent till 2020 and the OP set in. He looks high risk in terms of missing games with the issue being if you go with him, can he get enough games under his belt to make some cash. Unlikely for me.

Fyfe is fragile as well. But I think it is how he will be used that is the question. JL might use him as an impact player with less TOG. In 2021 he played 85% TOG in every game bar one (not including the games affected by injury). In 2022 that dropped significantly as well as playing mid/fwd in most games. Will try to find out pre season how he will be used before making a decision.

Hopper. On the radar.

Decent looking team @Socrates2 …..my concern would be durability of Hall in defense….
we know what he is capable of however if those hamstrings go ping?

Like the addition of Darcy in ruck ( has the ability to bounce back from soft gear last year)… unknown the impact of Jackson However….

Francis forward a nice selection for 189k…. Haven’t seen him in too many teams but will play back and as good as a rookie selection with experience…

Cheers, yes hadn't factored in Jackson . Witts is pricey, Gawn and Grundy surely steal points off each other/ play forward.
Hall is high risk but if fully fit I will consider as a pod.

Two popular choice being Tom Mitchell and Stephen Coniglio both come with risks centred around midfield time.

Even though GWS had Hopper and Taranto leave in the trade period, Tom Green and Finn Callaghan are going to warrant more midfield time.

Tom Mitchell scoring will depend on fitness and role at Collingwood.

Coaching style will be interesting considering both Collingwood (more developed style being 2nd year) and GWS coaches came from Richmond and historically Richmond is not good for Supercoach.

Agreed on cogs, his a good fwd/mid player and good at it. Mitchell is a one trick pony ball magnet differently a 110ave is more likely than not. For mine his underpriced.
