Where and when: RSEA Park, Thursday 20 February, 7.10pm AEDT
Watchlist:
Dougal HOWARD (STK) DEF/FWD @ $376,500:
Will line up at full back with plenty to prove after moving over from Port, vertical ability and DPP make him one to watch.
Jade GRESHAM (STK) FWD/MID @ $456,500:
Chatter over the pre-season pointed to a potential move to the midfield. Now at the right age for a break-out and named as a follower. Dissatisfied with F3 options, I’ve got my eyes on him.
Hunter CLARK (STK) DEF @ $402,200:
Our resident stats wizard AllSaints accurately called Clark’s SC potential off of half back last year. Ratts seems to have since got the message and has slotted him there.
Tom MITCHELL (HAW) MID @ $630,900:
Definitely the main attraction tonight. Solid minutes, full contact and any reminders of his Brownlow year dominance will see him rightly spike in ownership.
Max KING (STK) FWD @ $123,900:
Will make his long awaited debut at full forward. Job security is already solid, add decent scoring out-put and we’ve got ourselves a cash cow.
Notable Absentees:
James SICILY (HAW), Dylan ROBERTON (STK), Dan HANNEBERRY (STK).

Maginness isnt playing unfortunately! No bytel either which is a bad sign for him.
Noted, cheers.
Was named to play when I wrote this up though, shame.
9 CBAs for Wingard in the opening quarter…
How’s ceglar look around the ground? Is leading the Match for HO’s I see
Moving around well, but so un-co when he gets the ball lol.
Anywhere to get live SC scores?
FanFooty website
Mitchell’s ownership will spike within 2 minutes of him being on the ground. Damn…
Fanfooty has the live scores going, maxy

I am watching the game on Kayo. Bradley Hill seems to be playing very well. How does that translate into SC points?
35 from 83% game time at the main break
Early but king not doing enough to warrant selection even for bench 21 points at 3/4 time
Can someone please give me an update on Hunter Clark??? Thoughts!!
Looking really good, great Dash from the half back line.
Is he playing through the midfield at all?
Wanting to keep a close eye on him through the pre season. Stats look good. Do we think he could be a sneaky pod to begin with come round 1?
He was already sneaky. Now he’s just plain old relevant.
Been keeping an eye on him last quarter and he’s attended a fair few centre bounces
A little of track here —- but anyway… Delete if necessary
This one’s for all the internationals that also happen to be tight-asses, like myself and want to stream the footy.
Digital subscription prices vary widely, so it pays to shop around. Adelaide being the cheapest and Collingwood only $5 more expensive. At the other end of the scale, the Swans and Bulldogs believe that they are worth a lot more to watch exactly the same thing, but still cheaper than the actual watch afl website.

For clarity, I was technically a Freo supporter last year when I paid only $140. So if you don’t mind being a member of another team. Looks like I will be a Crow member this year… ! My family will definitely dis-own me this time!
Didn’t get to see the game but looks like a good win for the Sainters.
Titch looks like he will be in every team on his return season, good players just find the ball.
I am hoping that someone can fill me in on Rowan Marshall’s game? Did he play well?
If the score I found for him at 117 for 3/4 of a game is correct he will well and truly satisfy me in the R2 position but like every one at this time of year it is all guess work. Will Gawn be ready to go Round 1? if not think plenty might jump on Rowan.
From stats the other stand out was Hill with around 65 from 62% game time. Did he go well?
One last thing – Billings – is he the real deal this year or just like last year and a pretender? Not a bad score.
Cheers guys as I can’t afford Kayo 🙂
Billings finished top 10 in forwards last year. Mid only this year though
It’s still so early but I was happy with the guys that are pencilled in my team ATM, like Marshall, Ceglar. king was mostly disappointing though.
A few to add to the watch list for next game and I might have to re-think titch.
With King do you mean SC wise? because he showed a lot as a footballer.
I won’t be changing my team based only on last night, but for those that are interested here are some numbers:
Mitchell 21 possessions (13 contested) at 66% from 61% TOG, 88 SC points
Worpel 21 possessions (10 contested) at 61% from 80% TOG, 71 points
Patton 12 possessions, 1 hitout and three goals from 77% TOG, 73 points
Greaves 17 possessions at 70%, 76 points
Wingard 15 possessions (3 contested) at 60% from 51% TOG, 55 points
Ceglar 11 possessions and 26 hitouts from 66% TOG, 79 points
Membrey 24 possessions, 12 marks and four goals from 88% TOG, 163 points
Marshall 13 possessions, 24 hitouts and two goals from 79% TOG, 116 points
Billings 27 possessions (5 contested) at 74% from 85% TOG, 92 points
Steele 26 possessions (16 contested) at 69% from 78% TOG, 96 points
Clark 22 possessions and a goal from 81% TOG, 96 points
Ross 20 possessions at 75% from 63% TOG, 81 points
King 7 possessions and a goal from 82% TOG, 45 points
CBAs (should be correct with a margin of ±1)
Mitchell 21
Wingard 18
Worpel 16
Shiels 13
Steele 25
Dunstan 18
Gresham 17
Ross 17
Where did Greaves pop up from? I didn’t watch the match- how did he shape up?
He took most kick ins with Sicily out. He actually looked good But dont forget, Burgoyne, Scrimshaw, Howe will fight him for a R1 spot.
Thanks – good point about the other Hawk DEFs, but Greaves is worth watching on that effort.

Carn the mighty Hawks… Top 4 this year I’m hoping with that list
Imho, top 8 would be a good result for hawks.
Mitchell looking irresistible with only 61% tog but who gives way in my current team..Macrae, Neale, Cripps, Dunkley, or Oliver ?? Titch has same bye as doggies.
Just go 6 deep.
I’ve tried, but I have to give up several of the likes of Doedee, Roberton, Rowell, S Hill to do it.
6 deep……..hmmmmmmm
Titch will outscore them all combined if he goes off. Lol.
You said it Wighty one Doggie has to go, it is Dunkley. But Oliver in my opinion would be the weakest link of your Midfield bcoz he may start slowly if it works with your bye strategy.
I agree re Oliver, all other things being equal, but I probably need to get rid of Dunkley cause of byes.
Didn’t watch the game, can anybody tell me how Gresham went?
Based on scores, looks like he was a bit hit and miss, I do note his limited time on ground though.
He was good..basically only played half a game.
Marshall killed it with Ryder in the side hmmmmm
Titch gotta be close to a lock
He did…..Marshall instead of Gawn almost gets me Titch at m6 with a bit of juggling. But the Grawn c loop for most of the year looks so enticing.
Comben might get a run for a bit anyway.
I haven’t been able to find this in print anywhere but there’s a podcast that claims Ryder said Marshall will be the primary ruck with Ryder playing forward unless Marshall is up against a good tap ruckmen then Ryder will give him a chop out.
Ceglar is far from a good tap ruckmen so Marshall got to be the man.
There next pre season game might be a good test of that theory
COLLINGWOOD v ST KILDA
Sunday 8 March
as comments ??
Any thoughts on Ben Long as an option? New role might be positive.
