Only in fantasy football could Eagles vs North be a blockbuster game that's far bigger than Pies vs Cats!



It's a guy who plays only one position well and is the junior member of the midfield group primarily.

That he ended up out on a wing in the 2nd half is the bigger concern for his scoring than the TOG, he was always going to be a bit limited in that area just by looking at their side.

Stewart injury was also a factor, they didn't really seem to have an answer for that, at times it was Smith, Atkins, Tuohy and a couple of others who swung back to try and cover. Also doesn't help that Parfitt is also a pretty pure inside midfielder who came on as the sub as he kind of messed up the rotations a bit for them.
Unreal to think that i had no coverage yesterday when you consider how
many gun/lock players there have been from them teams over the years.

Given the sub plays at least 1Q of footy now, do you put Will back in to catch his bubble in Round 3?
Probably not but just another thing to think about.
Don’t take my advice (well you can but I won’t be held accountable lol) but I’ve just traded Will Phillips (non E) back in as a slow burner from Melbourne Rookies

Hopefully phillips gets two sub games and drops below 150k for our first easy downgrade target haha hollands 200k to a 130k Phillips might not seem much but I still think he’ll have a good year and when he plays do around 60-75 consistently

gotta look for the positives in the situation I guess

If he was 120k or less then maybe but can't at his premium price. Just as good a chance of being the sub a couple of times and we're downgrading someone to him in round 4.

Of course also the solid chance of early injury, pretty sure the sub last year was used in roughly 50% of games, indicating an injury being about that common.

I think Bytel at the same price is a better pick given starting squads and that there's plenty of other options that are cheaper.

I like Will but you've got Cunnington, LDU and Simpkin at the very least ahead of him and that's not likely to change.
