Our 2nd bye week is over leaving us with 3 more and some harder weeks to get through especially with how few rookies we have to choose from. Luckily there looks to be a couple of good options in Johnson and Jackson.
Johnson scored well in his 2nd game playing in defence, he used it fairly well but did have low TOG with 67% which was the lowest apart from the sub and subbed out player. Not a great sign but if he is in the team then he should be in our teams although a Saturday afternoon game isn’t ideal for planning. Jackson played pretty well as he avoided the sub role this week. Doesn’t seem as good of an option with Port’s midfield depth but again, he is a decent option currently.
Other possible options are Clohesy, Allan and Robertson. All 3 are sub risks and will cause some headaches, more so keep an eye on them and if there is any indication of them getting into the 22 then it might be worth bringing them in. Although, Clohesy put his hand up this week as a late inclusion to the 22 with Bailey Smith out. Clohesy has proven he can score well he just needs game time. He is a popular trade in already this week and if he is named on field this will only improve.
The rookie options are a bit thin but don’t bring in the Hawks boys early, Butler, Ramsden or Mitchell. They will have their bye before their 3rd game and this is hardly ever good for fresh rookies. They could definitely still be in the team but they did come in as injury replacements so best to wait until they are named for their 3rd game once they have had their bye.
