8 weeks left after the byes and just 4 weeks until Supercoach finals start. Fingers crossed for not too many rookie debutants for the remainder of the season.
Not a great week of rookie scores this week. Next week will see all 18 team’s reserves in action.

Looking for a cheap F/M that may be reasonable bench cover later this season. Read elsewhere that Jesse Dattoli may have been recently injured. Any further info? Perhaps Taj Hotton who apparently had a good game on the weekend.
Mentha seems to be a popular choice for this sort of strategy. Obviously super cheap, and from the limited footage I’ve seen he has a bit about him.
Dattoli and Hotton are more likely to get games though, if you have a bit of extra cash to spend.
Thanks Chillo. Appears Mentha is D/F unfortunately.
ah yeah he is, if you’re looking to put them on the mids bench then either of the other two options are good.
Hotton is not a bad idea but at 150k is a bit expensive for someone that may not even play or be needed. The best options are fringe at best and could play if that’s what you’re after. Draper, Clohesy, Day-Wicks, Robertson, Hayes. May as well save the 10-20k and get in Mackinlay if you are only looking for a M/F player
Hus at it again in the Maggos. Please B Campo…no more than two games 2025 please.
