13/1183
Played: S Docherty, J Hopper, T Bruhn, H Sheezel, R Ginbey, J Horne-Francis, C McKenna, J Dunkley, W Ashcroft, T English, M Bontempelli (VC), C Constable and S Flanders
Only one rookie left from the nine remaining players, with six in the $500,000+ range, one of those receiving the captaincy duties and two more midpricers. Fantastic start all round with W Ashcroft the lowest scoring player on 55. Cheap forward line has worked a treat so far and Ziebell and Chandler will be knocking down the door to replace Bruhn and Flanders/Hopper in the early rounds.
After a poor run with selecting players from Port in previous seasons, it was great to see Horne-Francis deliver straight up and hopefully there is more where that came from.
