Oliver 113…..in that tough VC space… do we take it or put our faith in Laird?
Was just thinking about this. No one would have picked Laird if they thought he’d average 113 or less, so it’s a question of whether the tag, opponent etc means we expect a down game for him. I believe GWS said they’ll pay him some attention, and they are his worst opponent historically.

I’ll probably still back him in over 113 though.

Alistaire Lynch must have said “HIA” at least three or four times in the last quarter or so.

I’ve never heard anyone use the acronym before.

Stewart, Jones, Wilmot and Constable (both on field), cowan and Chesser subs.

Backline is in major trouble.

Gawn/Witts all good. The 5 forwards have averaged 105 so far. Fine there.

I’ve bought in McGrath (who I was half considering) in the mids and he will immediately swap with Chesser next week to fill one gap. Also bought in Ash for Setterfield who will move down there in Round 7 (IF he himself works!)

With my heavy fwd line, I’ll move one to the mid line in the short term and bring in Ziebell (probably for Dangerfield). He will be needed come round 7 in that backline.

My team isn’t bad. Just had some shocking luck to start, but such a long way to go. I’m going to be very aggressive with the trades early to get myself back in to a strong position.
