With just 6 weeks left of the season and just 2 weeks until SuperCoach finals we aren’t really looking to bring rookies in just hoping the ones we have can provide us bench cover for our time of need such as this week. Unfortunately we lost our favourite rookie Sheldrick this week but popular players Johnson and Maric provided decent cover this week both scoring over 65 just showing how important that cover is come the pointy end of the season.

The Good: Atkins excelled in the 1st game since the sacking of Stuey Dew. He had a big day with 32 touches, 8 marks, 7 intercepts, 7 score involvements, 700 metres gained and 2 goals. Sheezel had a variety of roles this week with majority of time down back but had some time in the middle. He returned to form with 30 touches, 6 marks and 3 tackles and remains a very serviceable D6. Cole played his 1st full game since injury and had one of his best games even in just 67% TOG. He finished with 20 touches at 90% with 8 marks, 5 tackles and 7 intercepts.
The Bad: Ginbey injured his hamstring very early but still managed 3 touches, 1 mark, 1 tackle and 1 clearance in that time. O’Donnell was playing one of his best games before getting concussed after just 33% game time. He had 5 touches, 2 marks and a tackle. Melican was also injured in this game with a 3-4 week hamstring strain which in SuperCoach terms puts the defensive cover in jeopardy. He had 5 touches and 4 one percenters in 61% TOG.
