Prelim Plans

[Lozza]

I know it goes against the 'always play your premos' rule but I'm considering putting gibson on the field over maybe mitchell or thompson since he seems to be scoring better than them. Should I even though it means having a premo on the bench? And also should I trade out Franklin? I know ive probably held him too long but worried that his scoring wont be that great after 6 weeks out. Its my last trade and can afford anyone, thinking ROK?

Mid: Swan, Ablett, Boyd, Cotchin, Mitchell, Thompson, Gibson, Couch
Fwd: Beams, Sidebottom, Chapman, Robinson, Martin, Zorko, Franklin, Murdoch, Cameron

As good as he's been, I wouldnt play him ahead of Thommo or Mitchell. They will be more consistent and you should back them in.

However..... If I had Stanton of Rocky, i'd definitely do it.

You would think Thompson would be able to score something decent against Melbourne. Mitchell on the other hand doesn't have a great record against Sydney and I'm contemplating using Gibson instead of him myself.

Buddy could be worth a trade I guess. I would probably prefer Stevie J or Dangerfield slightly ahead of ROK but personal choice there I guess. You don't really seem to have the cover there to be worried about the Hawks playing games again and who knows how well he'll go after 6 weeks off

leave Gibbo on the bench in your case Mitchell should put in a decent effort after having a week off
