So many lopsided results does nothing to assist in what might happen in the actual season. Looks like 7 or 8 games with margins greater than 5 goals. And WB have 10 guys that tonned up including Anthony Scott. Now you know you just cannot take much away from a game like that.

Not sure about this take, he's on 50~ at half time playing in a team getting soundly beaten and has a slightly positive ration. What more could you ask for in a 500k forward?
50 is such a middling score. Needs at least 70-80 at half time to hold his spot and maintain consideration as a starter after the performance of Gulden yesterday and others at half the outlay such as the incomparable Michito Owens during the preseason. Considering the significant weight these matches hold in shaping our selections for the season, I find it very hard to have much faith in the selection if he fails to reach the 110 benchmark today.

Yeh he's a goner.

Jack Bytel maybe better option than Phillips?

If you take out his sub games in 2021 he averaged 66 in 8 games.

Just needs to be given a chance.
Problem is he only came on when Windhager went off with his hand injury and looks like Windhager will be available for round one.

Watching Hooper that half, he looked cooked early on.

Score is solid but how fit is he?

Managed a few weeks back in the intraclub game … not that impressive tbh
Was hoping he wouldn’t look an essential pick as my current team does not have him and would be difficult to get him in.

So far, so good.
