*** so Constable misses out again. I'm not gonna trade him yet. But now I will need to field Atkins so hopefully he has another good game like he did against Essendon.

Defense is a bit more tricky. Need to field 2 out of the following 3 players: Scrimshaw, Clark, Answerth
Thinking to put Scrimshaw in and then loop in Answerth (E) for Whitfield if Answerth gets a nice score. Otherwise will just sub in Clark (which I really don't want to do)!

Start with Answerth on field. Collins with E, if Collins goes ok, bench Clark, if under 50 odd, run with Clark?
Standard rookie loop stuff - start with Answerth and Whitfield on field, Collins and Clark on bench, E on Collins.

(I'm going that way as I think Answerth will outscore at least one of Clark and Collins this week this will guarantee that what I think will be at least the second best score of the three makes it on the field)

If Collins puts up 60+ then probably keep him in, but if he puts up a score in the 40's-50's then switch out Whitfield for Clark.

Same thing applies if you feel Clark will outscore at least one or Answerth and Collins, maybe both.

Exactly my thoughts, cheers GD. :)(y)

Atkins will play straight up this week.
Hayes or Gibbons to loop in case Danger is a late out?

(Both crap choices I know...) :rolleyes:

Hayes vs Gibbons to loop (into Atkins if it fails)
Same dilemma on my end, leaning towards Hayes, Pies don't give up huge scores to opponents I don't think however I've usually picked the wrong rookie on field almost every week so no idea lol.

Answerth's 49 not good enough. Gonna roll the dice on Clark seeing as he's named as a follower. :LOL:

Will probabaly play it safe and take Walsh's 70 instead of playing Stack but won't need to decide until the first game tmr.

I'm rolling Clark over Answerth's 47, but am sticking with Hayes' 56 as (e) mostly so that I can set Bailey Scott as captain to take Macrae's 136.

Yea I'm probably gonna just field Clark now instead of Answerth. Surely Clark can get to at least 47 or there abouts...
Scott (C) so I can take Grundy's VC score. Atkins (E) to sub in for Scott and Ross already on the field.
Go go rookies!

Will probably do the opposite and gamble on Stack instead of taking Walsh.
