No Boak- https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/n...o-club-debuts-but-veteran-to-miss-lions-clash
“After experiencing ongoing symptoms from a collision occurring during a pre-season match in Perth, Boak underwent further follow-up imaging, which confirmed a rib fracture. The 34-year-old also sustained a lung contusion from the incident, so will sit out Round 1 to progress his recovery.”
Horne-Francis at F2 here I come! Hopefully it doesn’t end up like 2020 and selecting Rozee in a similar position.

Mids- Laird, Bontempelli, Brayshaw/Macrae, Steele, Kelly, Hopper, Ashcroft and Mackenzie.
Docherty, Dawson, Dunkley, English and Marshall are the only other players priced over $360,000.
Couldn’t get behind overspending in the forward line for the “perceived” security and an expected low return on investment when I was keen on the mid priced torookie options and would prefer to overspend in the midfield instead. Also wasn’t confident on the mid rookie bench options and given quite a few were going in with less midfield premiums which served as another reason to differentiate. Previously I have tried too much to find those mid $400,000 to low $500,000 premiums, so testing out going for more of the high $500,000 and low $600,000 options.

I really don't understand the desperate need to "get a result" in a competition where a draw has been a legitimate result forever.
Reasons that might need to be considered if you wanted to play extra time in H&A
- Extra time on tired legs might add injury risk
- Extra time one week might negatively impact teams the following week
- TV doesn't like having to mess with it's schedule at 0 notice
Etc etc

Mostly for my own benefit because I've boxed myself in a little on structure. Currently looking at needing four (!) rookie priced forwards to fill out my side. There's 13 up to Allen with the green tick though, so it's not all bad. Just going through them in turn...
Long - nope
Davey - nope. I know people are keen for the M/F swing but I don't value it that much. Obviously happy to correct if he looks better than I expect early doors.
Comben - probably too reliant on Goldstein actually being out of favour, which seems crazy right now. Does play WC though, whose second ruck options haven't been great. Sneaky F7 maybe.
Laurie - don't know enough, but the Demons fans here seemed to think he was well off the pace.
Chandler - few years in the system now. Named on field probably a sign of better than expected JS.
Greene - everyone's F8
Bruce - Very interesting. Could definitely be tempted.
Pedlar - don't know enough
Esava - Probably the biggest structural decision. I'll probably trade a ruck with info if they go down so the cover may not matter as much as it initially seemed.
King - being slept on a bit? See also Allen. Problem is they're spike merchants where you'd want them on the bench.
Sheezel - the people's favourite. Thinking about the likes of Rowe and Rachele in the preceding years who were popular picks despite being small forwards in poor sides. Both of those were just okay picks, not total busts, but made reasonable coin. Don't mind the pick, but don't love it - and I think at the price I've got to love it.
Fantasia - would be hilarious if this ends up being the way to go!
Allen - North with no McKay? Yes please. Also offers the enticing option of being an easy correction to anyone else on this list if it looks like it's not working.
Not included: Phillipou, Caminiti, Sturt, or anyone else currently on an extended bench.
Think I've just talked myself into Allen F5

Watched the game on delay without checking live fantasy scores.
Hollands and Cowan to my eye both scored what I expected. Don’t think either of them did their future opportunities any harm. I’m a happy owner of both, and expect a few spike scores in there over coming weeks. Cowan on Bolton shows the confidence they have in him, and Hollands running was amazing and didn’t look out of place at all.
Hopper struggles to hit a target anything over 25m by foot, and I think that’s being generous.
Didn’t look like getting near it. The fact he scored high 60’s, I’ll take it every day of the week after watching. Hopefully it was a down game and he bounces back next week. Definitely one on notice.
Taranto got so much of the ball. Really knows how to find it, but it’s like he just panics. Either chucks it on his boot forward or he tries a quick handball over the top. Didn’t see a lot of composure from him. Reckon he has better games with DE where he scores 120, and others where he doesn’t get 30 touches and scores 60-70. Could be a bit of a roller coaster. Overall, I had him going 100-105 and that’s exactly what he did last night.
Docherty, I’m a non owner. I thought he would have got more than 108 tbh. I don’t think he deserved to score more, but it was like every time he kicked it, even under pressure it just kept dropping in the arms of a Carlton player. I was expecting a 120+ when going to check the scores.
Cripps and Rioli both impressive.

Guys like Taranto have their place in teams, you just can't run too many that's all. Hopper I expected more from, was just caught ball watching for three quarters and I wouldn't be surprised if he was given a rocket at 3/4 time which kicked him in to gear. He should be just told see ball, get ball, that's all you have to do. He doesn't have the kicking skills to be on the outside of the contest which was evident last night.
