I think in a best 22 scenario, I would take Williams over Howes, but start D'Ambrosio. In a best 18 I think it's not so clear, but would probably just take the 70 over Howes.

I agree with taking Sharp and would bench Clark, I think that means taking Sanders, Roberts and Wilson

If it's 64 v starting Reid and Dempsey, I would probably start both over the 64.

Pretty much what @wolfbunny said.
Thanks!!

For me it would be Windsor by a nat's stick!
I saw that Hastie is playing wing for Wood this week, and felt Wilson has been roaming up and down the wing as well so maybe (without any knowledge to back this up) he may get stuck closer to the goals?
But I think for both of those its really an each way bet.
The weather doesn't offer any POD as it's a warm day in Melbourne, cooler night in Adelaide with 31 predicted during the day.

Sharp's 71 vs Clark against Hawthorn?
Since it's the last game of the round and its a best of 18 week, it really depends on whether that 71 will be in your best 18 scores. If it is, then I would just keep the 71. But if it isn't then you aren't risking anything going with Clark. This is assuming you have a bye player in the mids that you are using to switch between them.

Dempsey, first test against a good team away from KP
Darcy, cats don't give up too much to KPFs
or
Sexton, GWS don't give up points to back men (if he plays back that is)
🤷🏼‍♂️

Which 2 to field out of:
Campbell v St. Kilda
Cadman v Gold Coast
Sexton v GWS
Darcy v Geelong

*Assuming Sexton is in the 22 as Cadman plays at the same time and Campbell plays later so I can react.

I'd go Sexton (assuming he's not the sub) and Cadman (Darcy had a breakout game vs gc). Unfortunately, Campbell doesn't score anywhere enough in comparison to his on field performance and Darcy will find it difficult against Geelong's strong backline, IMO.

Sexton out so that may change your plans somewhat?

I've got to go two of Campbell, T Berry, Darcy or Reid.

Leaning Reid and T Berry (surely he can't be as bad as last week right?). Any thoughts on that combo everyone?

Now I have to field one of Cadman, Campbell and Darcy. Leaning Cadman.

For your situation I’ll go (with little confidence) Reid and Campbell.

I'm taking a punt on Dempsey doing a Clohesy against North.
I have the E on Darcy, but unless my better players really stink it up with the best 18, the most I would drop is 9 points.
I can understand why serious supercoachers would be unhappy but I'm enjoying the best 18 rounds and more trades.

Clark
Reid
Lazzaro

Picking two onfeild.


May be moot if Clark is sub, or Lazzaro for that matter.
