Where and when: 1:10 pm at Marvel Stadium. Today
What it means for the Roos: A chance to join the Swans and Crows in defeating a team nobody expects them to beat.
What it means for the Power: A win means a start on their way to finals. A loss mean an embarrassment on their way to finals, assuming they don’t miss out by one match.
Supercoach Watch:
Roos: Jack Zeibel, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Tom Powell
Power: Aliir Aliir, Orazio Fantasia. Zak Butters, Miles Bergman
Father Dougal’s Watch: I expect Jy Simpkin, if he is not hurt again, to be the 105+ player he looked like last season, when not hurt. Couldn;t fit him in but curious how he’ll do all rested and fit
Father Dougal’s Tip: Despite yesterday’s matches, I am still going with the Power by 20.

Looking at early trends, thinking:
TU: Keep Steele/Rowell
TD: Trade to Jelly/Gaff
TU : LDU
TD : TARANTO
Thanks guys I went Taranto from the advice . 58 point first quarter from LDU . Hmmm
For the record, I was one of the two T.U’s in favour of LDU but you shouldn’t ultimately be basing your team on the casual T.U/T.Ds of nine people on a Sunday afternoon – let alone leaving it this late.
Gotta cop it, Harry.
Ill also be watching houston, time to break out!
Late out – Luke McDonald (quad) is OUT. Connor Menadue is IN.
Subs: Lazzaro (NM) & Rockliff (PA)
Will he miss next week ?
It just says he failed a fitness test…. Could mean anything and who knows if that’s the truth!
Noble just said he has a corked calf from a couple weeks ago….
I sometimes don’t understand Port as they have Rockliff as their sub
Does L Young (Roos) score more than Sharp (50) from the Lions last night?
Anyone with thoughts? What role is Young playing?
With Mcdonald a late out, I feel that might get him more involvement in the play. Plus with them playing Port I assume a lot of the ball will be in the North defensive half
the other one is Buckley at the Giants … how well does he score – possibly on the wing?
That game is going to be soaking wet, so I assume he won’t be able to get many marks and will have to make up for it with tackles, which is something you don’t expect from real tall players
Asking the questions on behalf of the Missus, Macca.
What a wonderful hubby. LOL
*wink*!!
Can’t believe McDonald. Was looking like a nice POD, now I’ve got Houston who I specifically didn’t want and now will be stuck with all year.
Ive got the same dilemma, but I think I’m holding and taking Kosi’s score this week
Its tempting and probably logical, but feels too risky to persist with a guy no one else has under an injury cloud.
Could trade to Jones, who’ll get a run soon enough, and use the cash on another line?
thoughts on LDU at M5…
North have Anderson, Cunnington and Polec all out on ‘test’ so how do you think that will effect him when they return? If you are confident enough it won’t be negative, then follow your gut
Did you back him in? At qtr time he is on 56 SC points with 12 disposals
First AFL disposal for Powell and he kicks a goal!
Kayne Turner reported for a dangerous tackle on Xavier Duursma in first quarter.
Wrong thread but I have a question.
I have Gulden (139) with the E on Mid bench.
I already changed my Loophole and have Saunders at F6 to get Rowes 104.
My plan is to trade Highmore and Rowell for Hunter Clark and A Fyfe. This means I get Gulden score,yet miss Highmore for now.
Defence: Laird . Mills 🙂 Stewart . Short . H Clark . H Young.
Kosi / Sharp.
This may cost me a corrective trade to either..Trade my 2nd loop to Highmore moving Sharp mid or maybe even go Cripps to Rowell if he looks like a must have early.
The other option is to keep Rowell and Highmore and miss Guldens score.
So, What would you do?
T/U Go for it H Clark is worth a shot to get that score.
T/D Keep Rowell and Highmore.
Thanks everyone. 🙂
Houston started off nicely and has been bench nearly 15 mins, WTF
Must say it seems concerning how Houston has only spent 50% TOG and we are currently 8 minutes into the 2nd quarter
Great signs when he’s back on the park! They seem to look for him to dish too off the half back line, just needs the game time!

Bonner out for the day with a hamstring injury, on comes Rocky half way thru the 3rd qtr
What is going on with the Ruck scoring this season? Have they reduced the scoring for taps or anything?
Really don’t know, Taz.
Once the round ends I’ll take a look at all the data, crunch some numbers, re-watch some games and we’ll have an article out around the middle of the week.
From what I’ve been able to assess, it appears IMO, a stricter value of hitouts.
ie the hitouts may go down the throats of receivers but it’s what happens after that they have tightened up on…..or maybe the “six footers” have gone soft on the contests.
Lazzaro is looking to make his debut in the 4th quarter as the vest has come off and is on the boundary warming up
Aiden Corr has come off with an ankle injury
