Ugh, thought I had my team settled, but now wondering if I shouldn't go all-in on the risk factor in the rucks.

Grappling with exactly the same issue MCMA. I have been on Anderson for a while but am uncomfortable with him playing both on Monday (leaving few good back-up options in that game if he is named sub) and for an obviously strong side in Hawthorn.

I was trying last night to think of any good 2014 rookies that came from strong, established sides ... I don't think I came up with any except Langford (even Polec, as Port were middling in 2013). After digging a little further on Vandenberg, I see that his SC/TOG is actually higher than Anderson's in the NAB, and he is slightly lower priced. That, plus avoiding the green vest and playing for a much weaker side, is likely to see me pick him over Anderson.
Came to the same conclusion. Shame we disn't find out Vandenburg wasn't sub before the carlton match. Would have picked Ando over cripps. I suppose the decision is easy in heinsight.

Miller's JS just got a little better. Jaeger dislocated his kneecap in NEAFL match.

Jaeger O'Meara has dislocated his right kneecap in NEAFL. Will have scans this arvo. Rocket to update from MCG later. #AFLDeesSuns "

Yes, it would be easier if there was no sub/late outs/extended squads, but I suppose that's all part of it. Vandenberg also killed it in the NEAFL last year (148 average, ranked 2nd), so I'm feeling comfortable with the call. Fingers crossed!

That's very interesting, first gamer kicking in shows a lot of faith i reckon.
