With Houli gone, if I were an opposition coach, then I would plant one of my small defensive forwards next to Short every game. Playing against Richmond, you cannot allow a player like Short to repeatedly get off the chain every week. His run from the back and his ball distribution is too good. Expect one of Carlton’s small forwards to be given this important mission in Round 1…

With Ward looking startable, the bottom line of the MIDs could end up being JHF, Daicos and Ward. Might squeeze out a Rowell type or even mean one less Premo. Either way, cash will be set free!

Think Im leaning towards Macrae,Steele,Neale then Berry,JHF,Daicos,Ward and Stephens.

It Dusty not tackling as he is cruising or does he leave the tackling to lesser mortals?

Dusty hasn't tackled since 2016.

 

[Shaunpro1]

Liked what I saw from Gibcus but going off with cramp in a pre season game is far from ideal.

 

[randomcliche]

He was playing alongside a trap?

As close to a trap as you can get, without being one.

 

[Bomber18]

Nice play from Hinge, ran all the way from the wing into the goal square to snag a goal

I think I am going to take the approach to picking a team that @Herbie66 regularly spruiks.

Pick your two rucks (not as easy as it sounds this year). Pick the best available rookies. Then fill the rest of your team as best you can from there. That might mean having a Stephens and Sinn on the midfield bench, but at this stage that looks to be the hand we might be dealt

That's my M9 & 10

Hinge only back rookie who looks startable.

What about gibcus played pretty well with good job security

Can see him dropping games of 40.

Still a tall back you're going to get your fair share of 30's, priced at a premium aswell.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Hinge looks really good, let's hope he gets through the game

I think his a 50-55 played good enough to get to 300k

 

[Bomber18]

No minutes for Sinn in Q1 so far

Some Q1 minutes for Mead and Soligo

One of the better rookies just needs to stay on the park.

55 wont make $100k from his starting price.

 

[Vicwood]

Not in his contract.

What would he have to ave to get to 300k?

In my opinion, Ward played really well today. Was everywhere and gained 29 disposals (including 19 contested possessions). The challenging part is not knowing the impact on his scoring when Titch and Jaeger come back into the team. At this stage, he’s done enough to earn a spot in my team. Question is whether to play him on field or on the bench. The good part is that Hawks have a lot of later games in the earlier part of season, you could always wait and see whether another rookie bags a decent score before he plays.
