Constable has recovered okay to 56... 28 touches and 675 metres gained suggests he was far from the Suns worst tonight, not too worried about him just yet.
15/1355, That little red headed ball pig as captain.
Premiums choices in Cripps, Oliver, Gawn and English all looking good. We won’t mention Stewart though 😒
Rookies a crap shoot as usual. Don’t have Sheezel.
Wish I’d stayed away from Hopper though. Got sucked into the hype.
Lachie Jones looking like a win for a mid price punt, 76 from a $265k player.
Think I'll be lucky to score 2000 this week, Stewart and Jones onfield, started with 2305 last year. Oh well it's a good challenge, coming back from a crappy start.
BOOM draftee Harry Sheezel appears poised for a run of games at half-back after his exceptional debut helped steer North Melbourne to a five-point victory over West Coast in Alastair Clarkson's first game as Kangaroos coach.
No.3 draft pick Sheezel (34 disposals, 625 metres gained) was drafted as a forward-midfielder but stole the show on debut off half-back, delivering a performance reminiscent of Rising Star Nick Daicos' 2022 at Collingwood.
"He is a pretty special talent for us," Clarkson said.
"We just really lacked some polish in our back half ... he did give us a little bit of that class.
Where he actually settles we're not too sure but he might be starting at half-back for us next week."
Was just thinking about this. No one would have picked Laird if they thought he’d average 113 or less, so it’s a question of whether the tag, opponent etc means we expect a down game for him. I believe GWS said they’ll pay him some attention, and they are his worst opponent historically.
