Tom Stewart not playing due to imminent arrival of partners baby.
Strong feeling Weller is going to secure his spot in my team tonight
Rowell looking a bit more like he did when he was drafted.

Reckon I’ve nearly seen enough to slot DeKoning intoy back line. Probably picked up some points without Stewart there but I reckon I will take a warm $124k body this year
Just be mindful that Henry isn’t there either – I’d wait for team announcements before locking him in.
Nothing better than a warm body for $124 an hour… I mean per year… I mean $124k per year.
SuperCoach $124k per player, yep a bargain

Gold Coast kicked 0/9 ( woeful)
Witt’s R2 English F2/3 with a DPP R3
If Witts didn’t play Nic Nat and Gawn in the first two rounds he would be more appealing
But then he should have a solid run. You’d be more concerned about who he’s facing in rounds 5 6 7 than in rounds 1 2 3 if you’re looking at him as a step up.
Mabior Chol, hamstring injury.
Iced and will take no further part in the game.
Well that’s Gotta be a positive for Witt’s rucktime and can only help his case for R2
Jarrod Witts – 54% TOG for 97points.
Oh dear lord.
His TOG will improve as he gains fitness and this was only a practice match. The main concern would have been remaining injury free..
Great effort to score 97 points from limited exposure.
Anyone contemplating Wicks would have been happy.
All the best for 2022.
Not every ruck lineup is the pushover than Geelong’s is.
Final. Supercoach Scores.

Matt Rowell – 27 disposals, 18 contested possessions, 7 tackles, and 8 clearances.
Physically looks better than I thought he could. Suspect he’ll get better the more he plays too.
Hard to leave him out!
Touk with the assistance of better help around him and Jarrod Witts tapping to him is going to be unreal to watch… have been tossing up with him and Clarry for M3 and tonight made my decision for me.
Rowell looked like the Rowell we all came to love. Hopefully over the injury cloud and can get back to his best.
Weller was a close watch, not impressed…
SDK will get games, but with players to come in I’m not expecting big scores.
Will be nice to have on the bench.
Whelp… Welcome to M4 Matt Rowell. Hopefully enough bench rookies show up in that 123k or less bracket.
Welcome to M4 Matt Rowell.
Now just really have to hope some rookies show up in that 123k or less bracket
DEF: Lloyd, Ridley, Whitfield, Milera, Gibcus, Wanganeen-Milera (Kelly, Gould)
MID: Macrae, Oliver, Mitchell, Kelly, Neale, JHF, Ward, Stephens (Maginness, O’Driscoll, Tsitas)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Dixon)
FWD: Heeney, Butters, Coniglio, Curnow, Ralphsmithm Rachele (McCartin, Hollands)
Appreciate any thoughts!
Looks good. Daicos is a must have.
Probably trade him for Ralphsmith and shift McGuinness forward
