    I'd be happy with that but I have a feeling Hayward will be managed this week for Rohan.

      Ummm, my memories of the eighties are a bit hazy? Those people dressed in the mustard and turd: were they guests at the wedding of Scott and Charlene?

        I saw something in Sinclair that I liked this week. A little bit more agro than usual, and more drive as well. I think he's building confidence and want to see where it goes.

        Out: McVeigh, Mellican, Naismith, Jack, Hayward

        In: Rampe, Allir, Tippett, Rohan, Florent
        Jack didn't play last week

          I think there is a bit of wishful thinking on our part going on.
          He starts competitive work this week so absolutely no chance at all

            Tippet, I'd bring in for Nainsmith. Sorry old chap, but Sinclair offers more at this stage.
            Rampe should come back in for McVeigh, and yes mcveigh needs a long spell in the NEAFL to prove fitness.
            Allir can come back when one of the young pups looks running out of puff. Personally, I'd be looking at Talia first.
            Naismith 28 HO 7 disposals. Sinclair 16 HO 7 disposals. Both no goals. What more does he add?

                  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.

                    So my changes would be

                    Out: McVeigh, Mellican, Naismith, Smith, Hayward

                    In: Rampe, Allir, Tippett, Rohan, Florent

                      Cannot see Melican or Smith being dropped, think Sinclair will make way. Not sure Rampe will be ready.

                      Rohan for McVeigh
                      Tippo for Sinclair
                      Rampe (if fit) for Marsh

                        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.

                          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 2019

                            +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.

                              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.

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