Afternoon everyone.
I will am keen to see how Flanders goes in this. Currently not in my team.
All the very best to Naismith.
An amazing effort to keep his dream alive after so many injuries over his career. Deserves success.

Bloody hell if Flanders does play well then over the last week my forward line has gone from Fisher being F1 to him being behind Jackson, Heeney and Flanders!
Witts is monstering Naismith early.
wow suns on fire early but then we saw what Carlton did last night!!!
Tigers woeful so far – if it keeps going this way – will be hard to get a proper read on a couple players like Sexton and even Flanders for those who have doubts.
Flanders 35 at quarter time!
Sexton on 8
No Flanders, please don’t tempt me again. 11min to go in the second, 15D, 57SC
I feel your pain TJ – I’m not sold on him but there is about 8 GC mids who look like cracking the ton at this stage, hence my comment about not being able to work out much from this game. Suns look awesome, tigers look well off it and confused with new game plan at the moment IMO.
Was just thinking this. The more the lead extends, the more I think it might be a one off thrashing. Might need to fact check but he had similar amount of touches in the praccy match as his had now.
Similar could be said about Sexton, but obviously the price is better so we let the score slide in games like this.
Not much SC love for J Short – 3% . Interested in what coaches think of him – a bit of a POD. Might be an option to find the cash for Flanders if he continues his form today.
Just the early bye for me… Definitely someone to keep the eye on as a first upgrade.
This ugly, very ugly for Richmond.

Flanders has played his way into my team.
Althought I dont plan to own him, Rowell looks good
Shocking news.
Sam Docherty has suffered a ruptured ACL and a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Thanks CT. Shocking news.
Flanders and Dow just copped a head clash with each other. Both Up and playing again but beware of the old delayed concussion protocols during week.
Do we know who are the subs in the Pies Giants game, there’s no game chat up yet
McMullin and Noble
Flanders’ 124 SC pts (9 contested and 2 clearances) seems disproportionate to Rowell’s 137 (26 contested and 20 clearances). Similar DE and mtrs gained
Flanders 7 intercept to 3 for Rowell and similar numbers inside 50 helped even it up.
