Likely backing Cole over Goater for JS. Lachie Young as an emergency and Hall still to return. Eagles has Yeo to return though.
Extra cash from Cole gets him over the line for me
Ginbey, Ziebell, Chesser and sheezel in this one for me.
LDU was a hard pass for me it doesn’t sit well but I just couldnt find a spot for him unfortunately, upgrade target!
Am so unsure on ziebells role at HB. is he the ziegull? will clarko want everything coming out through him? i’d take 90-95 and DPP round 6
F5
TU: Powell (got the role and a jet at junior level can find the pill!)
TD: Ziebell (ziegull incoming. The general of that NM side)
I’m going with a long shot this game and taking on Comben. Was a 2nd round draft pick in 2019.
He 199cm so could get some ruck time with Goldy out.
Scored 19 goals from 9 games in the VFL last season from a team that finished 18th/21 on the table.
Has had injuries which held him back but the preseason has been uninterrupted
Same boat as you Nato… fielded him thinking he’d score okay and allowed me to squeeze Callaghan AND Bruhn into my side. But meant leaving Sheezel on bench up forward 🙁
Have the same players but thankfully Sheezel on the field and Comben doing well for me.
Had Ziebell in the team for a bit of the preseason but with no Hall in the side had me doubtful
1) Last second trade: Phillips to Phillipou.
2) Traded Ziebell out for Fyfe a couple of days ago.
3) Fielded Wilmot over Chesser.
4) Traded in Sheezel for the first time in all my draft teams.
Was feeling pretty smug about all of my choices 15 minutes in.
Now I like the first two might be minor errors. Hoping to hell that Fyfe gets the season start I was betting on and Phillipou gets on-field for long enough to rack up a few points.
The last 48hrs before the majority of round 1 games is the worst isn’t it! At least now we’re locked out of making too many (stupid) decisions each week haha
Ugh. Dropped LDU and kept Chad Warner 2 days ago. Warner better hold up his end of the bargain. Also missed Sheezel so correctional rookie trade incoming this week
I cannot split Cole and Goater and the match starts soon..
I probably need 2 of the following please for D3&4
L.Jones
T.Cole
J.Goater
C.Mckenna
depending on above may mean i may get a macrae up to Laird
Likely backing Cole over Goater for JS. Lachie Young as an emergency and Hall still to return. Eagles has Yeo to return though.

Jones and Maybe Goater for me Could be some north bias coming out in me.
Not sure Macrae and Laird average alot different for 100k
FINAL TEAMS | No late changes.
Subs
North: Will Phillips
Eagles: Jack Petruccelle
Was really hoping somehow Phillips wasn’t sub. would have rolled the dice on him at M9 then. bank on him coming in B22 next week, never mind. pass
Nah back him in and chuck the C on him. Cunnington to get injured 1st minute and Phillips comes on for a double tonne!
😉
dont tempt me!
Hahaha

I had him before I seen him completely spud it up v the dogs hahah but he is definitely not that bad of a player! goldy out can only help
I am starting to shit myself and considering powell/ziebell to pedlar at F6 shifting cheezel to F5. i’m absolutely losing it aren’t I
TU – McKenna
TD – Cole
Whoever I choose will be on field so job security is important – I don’t know anything about Cole?
Need to find some cash – is Noah Long better bench option than Chandler??
TU – Long
TD – Chandler
Sheezel 3 touches at HB in a minute
Sheezel starting at half back I’m hearing!
Thank you Clarko!
Sheezel 3 touches in first 40 seconds playing half back
I saw Sheezel line up on Ryan and tried to trade him in last second.
Too late dam
Damn it I would have flipped out ziebell had I known cheezel was going to get his role.. Hope this doesn’t hurt me too much!
Ziebell is still playing off halfback as well. Both could still be good options
Did anyone roll the dice with Xerri?
Hoping no one did after that injury. Seeing a few with Stewart and Xerri
Yep.
Faaaaaa…r out!
33 well before the end of the first quarter before going down.
Very relieved I didn’t but that’s unlucky. Was looking great before the injury
Sheezel with some kick ins too. On pace for a 40 point quarter.
Gonna see a lot of the ball if this is what West Coast is doing to them
Chesser on my field currently hurting. Very little so far. Thought against North he’d get a decent game.
Hope this changes
Same boat as you Nato… fielded him thinking he’d score okay and allowed me to squeeze Callaghan AND Bruhn into my side. But meant leaving Sheezel on bench up forward 🙁
Have the same players but thankfully Sheezel on the field and Comben doing well for me.

Xerri not looking good with an injury!
Comben to take over ruck?????
Sheegul just got another 2 touches on a HB give and go. + effective kick
Killing it

Not sure Ashcroft is such a shoe in for the rising star anymore.
That Sheezel kid is an absolute jet.
Clarko playing him at half back in the preseason game for the last quarter made a massive difference!
Fielded Chesser truly hurt for only 5 disposals and 21 points…..
Harry Sheezel:
34 disposals
9 marks
21 uncontested possessions
6 intercept possessions
626 metres gained
4 inside 50s
113 points
Sheezel my Neezel!

123k rookie, see how he goes when Goldy should replace Xerri next week
Had sheezel on bench
Tu trade out an on field rookie for a zero and take sheezels huge score.
Td too bad champ. Thems the breaks.
Is it worth backing in someone like Sturt hoping he isn’t a sub but pushing for a spot?
Tristan Xerri left Marvel Stadium during the win over West Coast to get scans on his ankle.
He’s in a moon boot and on crutches.
