Who do you trade him to? No one is really screaming out pick me pick me.
- Venables is a spud, take out his cherry goals on the weekend and he would have scored a 30, such was the amount of clangers he had.
- Gowers has a decent crack, but with Doggies losing most weeks he might be part of the revolving doors at the Kennel
- Waterman seems to have a decent ceiling, but really needs to make his money over the next few weeks until JJK comes back.
- Using DPP, there are no basement defence rookies on the bubble (assuming everyone has Doedee, Finlayson, Murray, Murphy), with O'Connor and O'Shea on 1 game.
Think I'm happy to wait a week and see how the dust settles. Garlett can be looped with Ryan, who comes up against Geelong who have given up a stack on inside 50s over the first 2 weeks. Ryan could be in for another good day at home. Langdon also might be back earlier with a guard on his hand, he managed to score 65 in two and a half quarters with that fracture so wouldn't rule him out making a speedy recovery.

CARLTON is confident ruckman Matthew Kreuzer will return for Friday night's blockbuster against Collingwood, but defender Ciaran Byrne will be sidelined for four weeks with a quad injury. McKay was also "hopeful" former Giants midfielder Matthew Kennedy would be fit to take on the Magpies after missing last round with an ankle injury.

My main issue with Rioli is that you are purely selecting him as a non-starting cash cow, which we already have enough of (Garlett/Venables/Waterman/Ryan until last week). I would have zero confidence starting him on the field any given week, as he is very injury prone, and doesn't have a great ceiling. I think my best option is to wait and see for a week or two, hope Garlett/Ryan can fill the void for a bit and then eventually swing Sicily down to F5, as the defensive rookies seem quite reliable atm.
