Geez I'm sure Naismith R2 could open up a lot for people :sneaky:

Either way an easy R3 choice if he's there Round 1 (I assume Nank will miss Round 0, but that doesn't help SuperCoaches much :LOL: )
This is very interesting.

If Nank does miss a decent chunk of the season then Naismith could quite easily be one of the best rookies of the season until Nank returns. If that's the case, we will want him at R2.

Then most of us would need to decide whether it's Gawn or Grundy who gets the chop if going down this path.

Agreed.

I feel like it will be more unclear though and Nank will be touch and go for Rounds 1-2. :cry:

EDIT: Whack the E on him Round 1 if no Nank and see how high he scores before committing to any structure :sneaky:

Handy coverage for Grundy in rd5 if he’s still around then.

West Coast
West Coast Eagles ruckman Matt Flynn has today undergone surgery to repair a detached tendon where his hamstring meets the knee.

Flynn sustained the injury in a routine ruck drill in Friday’s captain’s run leading into the match simulation against Fremantle.

Flynn jumped into a ruck bag towards the end of a light session and complained of pain around his knee and upper shin. He was sent for scans and then scheduled for surgery to expedite his rehabilitation and recovery.

“This is a really unique injury that experienced medical staff have rarely seen,” said General Manager Football Gavin Bell. “There have only been a couple of other cases similar to Matt’s injury in recent AFL history.

“Post surgery he will be on crutches for a short while before starting his recovery. The expected time before his return to play is between 10 and 12 weeks. Because of the unusual nature of the injury, unfortunately, we cannot be any more specific but look forward to a fit and healthy Matt returning to the field.”

Seriously....injury curse is real
