Gawn VC.

The C won’t be needed. Ling and Cavarra can battle it out.

Probably Gawn into Macrae.

Hmm not so impressive by Macrae against Freo. What were Oliver’s stats?

 

[pizza safety]

I'll eat a bag of raw potatoes, scull a bottle of Worcestershire sauce and jump in the Yarra River if Gawn doesn't score 120, which is all I will ask of him.

If he somehow doesn't I'll swim to shore and put the C on JLloyd or Macrae.

Knee injury nekminnut haha, about the only way he doesn’t!

Hmmm should have put that in there as a caveat for not fulfilling that promise, too late now...

I really hope he doesn't get 120 now. Make sure you film it if he doesn't.

 

[Professor]

I'll try again, Oliver into Dunkley

In 2018 Freo tagged Macrae with Banfield. In the first 2019 Freo game it was during the period where he was playing quite a bit of wing and half-forward. The second game vs Freo he scored 153.

Not confident picking him for other reasons though. He is out of form at the moment by his own standards and he has slowed down at the exact same time as Bont has fired up. Freo also seem strangely more difficult for mids to score big scores against than you would instinctively think.

JLloyd is the other obvious choice, but Cats don't concede that much to defenders.

I do probably go for Lloyd based on form, even though history over the past 3 years is with Macrae. Coin toss between these two for me.

Oliver into.... not sure. Shouldn't need to worry about it.

 

[BarginHunter]

Will Neale most likely getting tagged?
