Its why i never mentioned him in the first place.

Injury prone and scores like a spud. People should go cheaper players or stars like glugg

Yeah- go that advice!

Would love thoughts on Riley Knight? Especially from an Adelaide supporter.

Locked into my side at the moment, will be shocked if he doesn't play R1 and all year. Unlucky year last year with fitness and injuries but has had a full pre-season so far, won our time-trial iirc as well. Only question mark is his scoring potential but will hopefully get a better picture of that during the JLT and should play mostly through half forward and the wing with stints in the middle.

#WordOnTheStreet is that Brett Eddy the mature-aged rookie will be upgraded to the senior list at Port before round one.

Everytime I read his name I say it like I'm a cockney pom saying "Brett Heady"  ;D

Why would Scoenmakers be any more of a certainty for games this year? They haven't lost any forwards and gained Vickery. Roughead is back now too. Maybe in defence but would still only expect 50-60 from him

Think he'll get more chances this year, but won't post huge numbers. Definitely not worth the 200k price tag as u need him to score around 70 average to make it worthwhile. Don't think he can do that

[BomberSam]

An interesting rookie X vs. Y is Knight vs. McCarthy?

I thought he was injured heading into this season as well but I could be wrong.

I actually forgot they picked up Spud Vickery. I was thinking Pittenot/Fitzy might get games. Big Boy as the sole ruck will be interesting as well.

Because he was injured and thry rushed him back to play finals and every article said how important he was to the team. Yes vickera roughy are in now but hes pretty much always best 22 when no injured
