lol. Cherry picking data. Are you a global warming denier as well ?
Sinclair was poor, rated 19th best player. Naismith was poorer, rated 22nd best player, otherwise known as worst player, worse than an injured McVeigh.

Barry, they are fantasy Ratings and mean jack @@@@. Naismith was very good in the ruck contests. Look at the replay, I did. Sinclair 2 marks to Naismith 0. But it doesn't change the fact Sinclair is not a first ruck, he is a ruck/forward. A ruck/forward that didn't hit the scoreboard. Can't knock him though he was good against the Lions, tries hard but he doesn't get many HO. the difference is Naismith's HO work is super whereas Sinclair is a hit or miss, when he gets a tap which is rarely. In the long term Sinkas is depth.
Rampe shouldn't be rushed back in. It would be stupid as we are not desperate. Macca out, Jack injured.
Tip, Gazza, Robbo all good in the reserves. But BOG in the reserves was Jordan Dawson with 40 disposals, 8 tackles, 7 marks & 2.2. Going to be an interesting night at the selection table. Robbo, even though he played really well probably needs one more game, Gazza as well. But Tip is probably closer. He would have to improve on his performances early season though.
I'm not even going to guess what they will do this week. But tip, Gazza, Robbo & Dawson should all be in the mix.Comment

Every week watching Richmond and Nanka running around cleaning people up and getting better by the week is torture.
Not sure there was much we could do even if we wanted to.
We would have needed to move at least one ruckman and maybe even that would not have been enough to keep him. Naismith would be on a very modest wages still I'd say and Sinclair would have had no nibbles at the $400K a year he is on. And Tippett has been done to death here....Yawn
Overall I am still quite happy with our ruck stocks, they are not elite but they are very handy and I feel they are not going to hold us back too much. Naismith does need to start clunking a few more marks and contributing more apart from hitouts. Sinclair similar though he does provide a genuine forward target. Cameron I have high hopes for and think he could be a Nanka type player, I see him as having a much stronger mark even now than Sam or Callum. Probably just finding his feet this year but fully expect him to be challenging for our number 1 ruck spot in 2019Comment

+1 re: fantasy points. See that Nic Newman had second highest SuperCoach rating of the round 151 points. Can't have been too bad.
Didn't Dawson have 15 clearances too? But would they seriously play him in the middle after one good game? I imagine if they did he'd rotate fwd a lot. I can't see who would make way unless they give him Hayward's spot.Comment

Other than injuries why drop players from a winning side. The incumbents have performed the roles asked of them. Sinclair and Naismith have done a decent job against 2 of the best ruckmen in Goldstein and Martin. Marsh has been solid, Newman was outstanding last week and I'm not seeing any signs of fatigue by Hayward. I feel like last weeks team should be rewarded. It's not like Tippett and Rohan were in great form before their injuries. In fact they have been poor at times. And Aliir was dropped and hasn't exactly dominated the reserves. No doubt they are best 22 but they need to produce consistent form in the reserves and wait their chance.
Out: McVeigh
In: Dawson
Dawson has been in great form and deserves another chance. Would like to see him playing a midfield/forward role.Comment

Fantasy points are a perfectly fine weighted average of all the aspects that makes up a players performance.Comment

You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).

This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter.
