Rhylee West looking ok; mature age and son of Scott West. He worth getting over Cooper Stephens?

Cooper Stephens is a better option given the price difference if he truly has Danger's spot over the bye period.

What about Menegola though? Listed as a test this week, so could he potentially just take the wing spot off Stephens next week?

Solid block of good form - surely he comes in for someone like Holman?

That's just ok form for VFL, not amazing form that makes him stand out as a "just play him" in the short term.

We had a bunch of kids last year getting 25-35 touches weekly on a number of teams, but the reality of the gap between what they could do down at VFL level and what they showed at AFL level was rather stark.

Not sure I like the way Supercoach are handling these some of these Covid top-up players... Specifically Jake Florenca.

Was considering Florenca as a trade-in on the weekend as he is very likely to be picked up in the mid-season draft by West Coast... and noticed they hadn't added his score of 102 from when he played in Round 8 vs Brisbane.

Fellow top-up players Aaron Black, Declan Mountford, Angus Dewar, Stefan Giro, & Brayden Ainsworth all have their scores added for the games they played.

So I contacted SC, this was their reply...

Hi,
Thank you for your email. Florenca was added to SuperCoach after his debut in Round 8, so has yet to score any points in SuperCoach.

Kind regards,

I'm pretty sure all the other fellow Eagles players where added AFTER they had played their respective games. So no reason Florenca shouldn't have had his 102 added as well.

If I'm picking Florenca up after he gets drafted... I want that 102 in his price cycle.

Definitely a bit odd. Like you said the others were added with their scores.

Sorely missed since RD10 for me, given his replacement was R Thompson. Luckily I selected him in the SCSUL draft this season and he has notified management that he wishes to become a one club player.

Probably the one few comments we will agree with Cats coach, people will come to football to watch the kid. He is like Stewart, a joy to watch.

Question is, if downgrading this week, is Wehr safe. Good game against a top side, where does Whitfield play? back or forward, wing?

Saw some commentary about this on Twitter earlier today, in short, my brief takeaway from a skim of the responses was that I think they (Virtual Sports) are looking into correcting it.

Stoked if we do in fact go with Culley... Has a ton of talent and potential and would be a first rounder if not top 10 pick in the National Draft if there was no Mid-season draft.

Such an unlike West Coast thing to draft a genuine midfielder... We usually avoid them like the plague and draft Half-Back Flankers and Talls, lol

Stephens getting a recall would be a big bonus over the byes - 37 possessions is huge.

Roberts (didn't look AFL ready), Bell & Wicks were very poor on the weekend (I know they play fwd roles) so he must be a chance of a recall/ maybe a role adjustment for others? Heeney played a lot on the wing Fri pm so maybe he plays more half fwd & Stephens plays wing :unsure:

McGuinness has to be a decent chance to break into the North side. Their current back 6 setup is woeful, so it wouldn’t hurt trying something different down there surely.

Is Mitch Wallis just that sort of player that is too good for VFL, but not quite up to AFL?

Reckon he'd be getting regular senior games for 1/3 of other teams in the competition.
