If Erasmus avoids the vest does he come in?
Tu or Td
Erasmus certainly knows how to score in SC, and he is obviously coming in for Hayden Young who is out for 8+ weeks.
But his job security is potentially poor – with Nathan O’Driscoll coming back via the WAFL this week (should play AFL next week), and Will Brodie is also putting up good numbers in the WAFL.
We could find ourselves with another non playing Clay Hall / Tom Gross type on our benches?
Having said that, I am keen on bringing him in – if he avois the sub vest.
So it would be great if others & Fremantle supporters could please share their thoughts on the job security for Erasmus
Thanks in advance
Being able to get Erasmus this week means being able to wait on Boxshall on the bubble next week so that’s got to be a good thing. And his DPP is extra handy.
Neil Erasmus
Price: $119,900
Scores: 41, 80
Breakeven: -51
Projected Score #1: 65
New Price: $170,940 (+$51,040)
New BE: -45
Projected Score #2: 65
New Price: $219,340 (+$48,400)
New BE: -1
Projected Score #3: 65
New Price: $248,380 (+$29,040)
New BE: 16
If he survives NOD returning next week.
He has the opportunity this week to impress and his contract ends this year so he will being doing his best.
Sounds like Busslinger will play & be in the 22, therefore who is the best downgrade option this week (excluding Hustwaite & Boxshall):
t/up Busslinger (WB) – be = 9, maybe slightly better job security?
t/down Erasmus (Fremantle) – be = minus 51

Western Bulldogs: Adam Treloar misses this week with calf tightness , will get scans over the next day or so to confirm if it’s anything worse than that
Brock named on field could be a rookie option down back. $99k and on the bubble
I’m just worried he’ll get a couple of games and then get sent back down. It seems to be a pattern for the Eagles so far this season.

Flynn dual rucking with Bailey J?
Gross returns
Will Mullin tag again after his work against Daicos last week?
Gross has been training as a forward and played that position in WALF last weekend. So he is rewarded with a game.
Anyone else concerned that Lashcroft may be the sub?
