Thanks for the write ups Wogi, loving them. I dare you to do it for every game this season...
14/1212 - Bont. Pretty lame really. Cheezels on the bench was my only points missed so far though. Six prems and two rookies to come, I will be watching the GWS match with interest!
No chance! I like to do the first 2 rounds because they matter the most, after that they'll be few and far between! I'll probably be playing golf all weekend by round 6 if this start is anything to go by
Who would you give another week to bruhn or flanders? Need to bring sheezel in and one has to make way for him.
Bruhn role was much better, I think the Stewart injury and Parfitt coming on really hurt his role as the game went on, normally Parfitt wouldn't come on for a structural guy and it really threw them out, they were using Smith, Atkins and a few others at HB trying to cover and Bruhn kind of ended up the odd man out who floated out to the wing. Bruhn's limit is he's a pretty one dimensional player, especially for fantasy purposes, so if he's not in the role he's not great.
Flanders role looked similar to last year and I don't see it changing substantially. Rowell, Anderson, Miller and Swallow are just flat out better players and Dew is absolutely a coach under pressure so he's going to be playing to win games, almost at the expense of some of the younger guys at times.
Honestly though, I would be planning that both have to go.
Hmm.. Port seemed to have a pretty clear top 3. Rozee and JHF would lose a few CBA’s when Drew tags I’d say. Next 4 games are against Pies (Daicos maybe, but not a mid so doesn’t affect the CBA numbers for JHF/Rozee), Crows (tagged Laird last year I believe), Swans (Mills or Warner?) and the Dogs (could tag anyone).
The interesting aspect in that game was that Butters was the guy who went in and really shifted the dynamic up, when they had the 3 young guys Brisbane couldn't keep up, was actually kind of scary. Wouldn't be surprised if Butters gets more moving forward.
It doesn't really matter though as the one of the 4 that wasn't in there was playing as an additional midfielder anyway from the HF flank, Butters was just as involved as the others in the first half around the ground.
Stupid question ... why is the AFL draw not finalised after the bye rounds? I was looking at the draw on afl.com.au, and R16 onward are listed as "Date and Time to be confirmed".
They changed it a couple of years ago with COVID and they liked it so they've stuck with it, basically so they can mix and match the prime time games for how the teams are going.
