  1. I think I will be able to get this done.
    Out Salem, Sanders & Davidson
    In Holmes, Warner and Husthwaite

    I can’t believe I got tucked in to Salem AGAIN.
    Sanders will get bugger all midfield time with Bont & Treloar back. Davidson has served his purpose.
    Holmes is a better player than recently showing. Disappointing that Warner popped of this week instead of next and Husthwaite looks good for a rookie ( at least for 2 more weeks).
    Of course all of the above will be chucked out if Flynn gets dropped

  2. Likelihood of Connor rozee getting defender status in a few weeks?

    Tu: Rozee (Banking on him gaining dpp)
    Td: Sinclair

    • Bice (85) -> Sinc (110) = +25

      Any upgrade involving Bice to atleast a defender not really that much of a net on points.

      I’d be getting my lowest scoring OF rookies up first.

      Bice BE still only 77.

    • Not big on Dawson yet, was rolled forward heaps and that was partly why he scored so well (3 goals), but don’t expect that every week. His DE did improve however, which are good signs. I’d like to see a longer stretch of form before bringing him in.

      • Disagree w this.

        He had team high CBAs amongst the Crows heavy rotations, which they’ve done all year.

        Heatmap purely in the middle of the ground and only 4 possesions in the FWD half of the ground.

        Only one of his three goals was from deep I50. Other two were on 50 and came into possession in open play.

        So wouldn’t at all say he was “rolled FWD heaps”.

        His use, yeah, remains an issue but don’t see how waiting changes that. Suggestion to wait for form makes no sense; he’s a dog of a kick. That’s not changing.

        It’s a fundamental issue with his game and the whole enchilada w Dawson.

        Either you’re in and accept the ride that his DE will be or you’re not.

        I’m ambivalent either way but need to be clear on why.

    • Been eyeing him for a while, Derek.

      Problem is he’s playing the games of his life, finding heaps of it but for only 119, 106 and 113. And that’s off 30, 36 and 32 touches.

      Just not enough. No ceiling.

  3. Early, early thoughts

    Two to go out of SPP, Flynn and Bice. Not sure who survives there.

    Hustwaite is a no-brainer. Possibly looking at a Lions mid for the upgrade – is Will Ashcroft still a viable option for M8? Only really had one off game this year and that drops out of the cycle this week, where he plays North.

  4. I went early on Hustwaite and now I don’t love any of the rookies available. Is it crazy to do TDK down to Marshall so that I can turn Flynn or Short into a premo?

    Tu: Do it
    Td: Find a palatable rookie to do a proper downgrade
