Jaxon Binns (117k MID/FWD) had 30 disposals (21 kicks) to go with 11 marks (HB role?) for Carlton VFL.
Sam Durdin (188k DEF) had 26 disposals (18 kicks) along with 16 marks for Carlton VFL.
Deven Robertson (202k MID) had 26 disposals (18 kicks), 5 marks, 4 tackles and 2.0 for Brisbane VFL.
Aaron Francis (189k DEF/FWD) had 8 disposals (all kicks) with 7 marks to kick 3.0 for Sydney VFL.
Miller Bergman (165k DEF) had 26 disposals (16 kicks) to go with 9 marks for North Melbourne VFL.
Eddie Ford (123k FWD) had 23 disposals (11 kicks) with 7 marks and 0.1 for North Melbourne VFL.
Oliver Dempsey (148k FWD) had 23 disposals (11 kicks), 3 tackles and 1.0 for Geelong VFL.
Josh Weddle (130k DEF) had 21 disposals (9 kicks) and 4 marks for Box Hill.
Max Ramsden (123k RUC/FWD) had 13 disposals (8 kicks) along with 6 marks, 8 hitouts and 4.1 for Box Hill.
Finlay Macrae (123k MID/FWD) had 29 disposals (16 kicks) and 9 tackles for Collingwood VFL.
Jack Peris (123k MID/FWD) had 13 disposals (4 kicks), 8 tackles and 2.1 for Sandringham.
Patrick Voss (123k FWD) had 14 disposals (9 kicks), 4 marks, 2 tackles and 2.0 for Essendon VFL.
Bailey Laurie (123k MID/FWD) had 33 disposals (16 kicks) and 0.2 for Casey.
Taj Woewodin (123k MID/FWD) had 23 disposals (11 kicks), 3 marks, 3 tackles and 0.1 for Casey.
Coby Burgiel (117k MID/FWD) had 22 disposals (17 kicks), 3 marks and a tackle for West Coast WAFL.
Karl Worner (123k DEF/MID) had 30 disposals (18 kicks) along with 8 marks and 2 tackles for Peel Thunder.
Sebit Kuek (123k FWD) had 14 disposals (10 kicks), 4 marks and 4.1 for Peel Thunder.

GWS, Gold Coast, Footscray, Adelaide and Port Adelaide all had byes.

Hard to see many rookies coming through which is extremely worrying and is why I’m not upgrading this week. Going to need a few LTI’s to AFL regulars for the rookies to come through I think.

Cincotta, Binns (He's had a few good games in a row now) & Weddle would have to be big chances soon. Worner possibly but I haven't seen many Freo games to know how their wingers are going

Slim pickings this week. What's the consensus on Dylan Williams' JS? Came in in round 4 with Lachie Jones (Omitted), Orazio Fantasia (Injured), Riley Bonner (Omitted) and Tom Clurey (Omitted) the outs. Good to see he then held his spot with Ryan Burton coming back in but there'd have to be some pressure there. 64 and 51 isn't exactly shooting the lights out either.

Tempted to go a week early on SMitch for the DEF/FOR

Also worth noting that Burton replaced the injured Jonas last round.

Had my trades sorted (Gibney Baker Mackenzie to Sinclair Johnson Roberts) but then saw this.

Probably a concern for owners and annoying because he was becoming a decent rookie.

There’s a few others that have already played 3 games but they were all as sub so they’re a bit cheaper so might be worth a look if they can get another spot in the starting 22. Matt Johnson(Fremantle 139k midfield) got 67 and
Matthew Roberts(Sydney 129k mid\fwd) got 93.
