9/872
Played: P Dangerfield, T Atkins, L Baker, T Kelly, L Neale (VC), P Cripps (debut), H Andrews (debut), W Setterfield, N Answerth.
Yet to play: T Goldstein, C Burgess, R Laird, B Smith, R Sloane, Z Williams, J Kelly (C), I Heeney, J Lloyd, M Hore, B Grundy, O Baker, C Oliver.
After missing Cripps all last season I finally selected him this round replacing S Walsh, completing my midfield and have been pleasantly surprised by his astronomical score but a shame that I didn’t VC him on debut instead running with L Neale. Gave H Andrews another go, replacing L Whitfield due to his very short and unfortunate stay in my side last season and content with his score considering he had less than 10 touches and his consistency was 1 of his main allures.
Congrats to all the coaches that gave Danger/Cripps the VC/C as this will be extremely beneficial in softening the blow dealt by some of the poor scoring rookies.
Only 3 rookies included in my 18 out of a possible 7 rookies from 22 available players so assuming L Baker and N Answerth scores drop I will be
7/789 with 1 rookie left assuming Setterfield’s score stays.
Answerth’s poor performance will ensure he is traded, allowing me to grab R Gray to replace him via W Setterfield and M Hore and T Akins will likely be traded to L Ryan and D Clarke and if everyone maintains their spot I will have 20 available next round.
