  1. 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

  2. Was a bit silly and chose not to C Macrae, so should I chuck the C on…

    TU: Steele
    TD: Gawn/Brayshaw

  3. Hopefully we see ‘Round one’ Rowell today otherwise he might find himself on the chopping block (probably like Grundy I reckon)

  4. 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.

    Just Touk and Hayes for me now today.

  5. 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

    1. 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

  6. Rowell needs to learn a bit from Anderson as he is absolutely all over the ball in a stoppage this first half

    1. 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.

        1. 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.

      1. 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

    1. 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!

  7. 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

  8. Miller can’t score big without tackling, what going on something wrong nearly 2 game without a tackle

  9. 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!

    1. 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?

      1. 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.

      2. 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

        1. Shaggy, Nato – you’re both spot on about the GC coaches being poor though so I certainly agree it contributes.

  10. 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…..

  11. Touk Miller:

    Rounds 1-3
    19 tackles attempts = 15 effective tackles

    Rounds 4-5
    4 tackle attempts = 0 effective tackles

    1. Exactly, it’s not enough – Premium MID, just not contributing. Something is NOT right. Thanks for the stats.
