I traded out Rowell today so I fully expect a big score. He looks to have gone to Steele early. I will also be keeping a close eye on Sinclair after writing him up in Rare Gems this week.
I held Gawn but Grundy scored 53 and his price is about to dive. With cheap options like Pruess and maybe Sam Hayes,I’d rather use that R2 spot on a money maker and get in a mid. I’m sick of relying on Ward etc at M8.
Yeah, I’ve fortunately got Steele but reckon that’s not a bad call. Just thinking that Preuss and Port’s Hayes might be must haves for cash gen and Witts isn’t bleeding cash for me
Unless Rowell has a large final quarter, I feel it is likely he will be put on the ‘Never Again/Burn’ list.
Just not seeming to give a performance I want to see. He will be the player I’ll upgrade at this rate
I disagree.
Just being asked to play a role that does not suit him and does not utilize his playing strengths.
Maybe it’s the Gold Coast coaches that are rubbish?
He has been in plenty of centre bounces, if not the majority..
Even a tagger gets more footy and there job is entirely to stop someone else! He looks lost in there and simply doesn’t have the pace to spread in either direction.
He is young though, so still learning but just something doesn’t seem right. Wouldn’t be surprised if the OP has lingered back.
Rowell & Miller are NOT mid keeper’s, if you started them (Like i did) roll with it, upgrade other issue’s. Miller is a MASSIVE concern, not laying a single tackle…..
No late changes
Medical subs
St Kilda – Ryan Byrnes
Gold Coast – Rory Atkins
Very undecided on who to field. It was split in the other thread
TU: Hayes
TD: Rachele
Feel Hayes is guranteed 60 with no Ryder, but Rachele has the 100 points ceiling if he snags a few
Hayes has the bigger ceiling – dropped several 200’s last year.
Great shout in the end! Take that tonne with a big smile
Was a bit silly and chose not to C Macrae, so should I chuck the C on…
TU: Steele
TD: Gawn/Brayshaw
Big Witts to dominate today
Hopefully we see ‘Round one’ Rowell today otherwise he might find himself on the chopping block (probably like Grundy I reckon)

Just Touk and Hayes for me now today.
Reunion central with 5 Ex tigers playing today in this one:
Higgins, Butler, Chol, Markov & Ellis
Rowell all around the stoppages yet struggling to get a hand to it. Hoping that will change or he will likely be gone next week
Then gets 4 disposals in the last 2 minutes of the quarter for only 5 disposals
Get moving, Fatt Rowell.
yeah I got sick of him.
His only really good score was v WC . He put up anther 100 but I think he had like 13 tackles. Just can’t find the ball outside stoppage.
Steele looking very good
Is Gibcus to O’driscoll worth while?
Tu:yes
Td: no save the trade.
I did it.
Looking at my first upgrade next week.
Rowell needs to learn a bit from Anderson as he is absolutely all over the ball in a stoppage this first half
Marshall off getting his thigh strapped.
Come on Hayes time to make hay !
Looks like touk doesn’t tackle anymore, no tackle last week none so far this week
St Kilda Fwds are the go
Can’t do anything wrong
Hayes with only 65% TOG but still managing to get 46 SC points at half. Same score as Witts
Yeah Nato . A couple of good touches when the game was on the line and then that goal to put the Saints in front was scaled well.
Let’s hope he can keep it up.
Anyone else considering Grundy to Touk next week? He just looks so good in person
Thinking Grundy to Steele.
I started Touk.
aaah yes…I remember all those sacking Gawn just a week or two ago
I hear you Wighty .
I held Gawn but Grundy scored 53 and his price is about to dive. With cheap options like Pruess and maybe Sam Hayes,I’d rather use that R2 spot on a money maker and get in a mid. I’m sick of relying on Ward etc at M8.

Yeah. His work rate is phenomenal, Johnno.
I’ve gone to a handful of Suns games in Melbourne just to see him in person – he’s insane.
Looks like they’ll take your Saints to the edge.
Good luck, Johnno – and, yes, get Miller ASAP!
Still surprised he is yet to lay a tackle, as that is what he more known for
Yeah, he’s coming in, just have to work out how and Grundy would be so easy
Unless Rowell has a large final quarter, I feel it is likely he will be put on the ‘Never Again/Burn’ list.
Just not seeming to give a performance I want to see. He will be the player I’ll upgrade at this rate
Was just thinking the same. He’s out next week
Rowell or jhf out for first upgrade ??
Bye bye Rowell.
JHF has bit more money to make I reckon
Miller can’t score big without tackling, what going on something wrong nearly 2 game without a tackle
How does ryder get back in ahead of hayes ??
Looks like Rowell would have more pushes and shoves at contests this game than SuperCoach points. He’s out of my team next week that’s for sure!
Love my starting pod gresham
Same here, he looks great
Rowell to a premo I think.
Anyone got his BE
Rowell BE 68 Looks like he will hold his price
68 BE, geez he may not even get it
Rowell is rubbish. Too slow, doesn’t want the footy, desperately clumsy.
I disagree.

I’m more with the coaches at the Suns as look at Will Brodie and his move to Freo. Couldn’t get a game at the Suns yet is on fire with Freo
Shaggy, Nato – you’re both spot on about the GC coaches being poor though so I certainly agree it contributes.

Your Joking right.
Touk Miller:
Rounds 1-3
19 tackles attempts = 15 effective tackles
Rounds 4-5
4 tackle attempts = 0 effective tackles
Exactly, it’s not enough – Premium MID, just not contributing. Something is NOT right. Thanks for the stats.
