Quote from Richmond assistant Justin Leppitsch.
"I think Shai (Bolton) is going to be a good one for those #SuperCoach guys out there."

And torp was against me taking him at pick 34 in worlds :P

I just saw this and thought I'd say, let's see if he plays.  ;)

Hey Holz, do you think Mountford is a chance for round one? He looked good over the weekend.

i would think its very very tough to pick who will get spots in the 22. I would say probably not loads of competiont with the likes of Hroovaat Clarke Dummont etc..

i reckon our list moves around alot so i would be worried about picking any north guy.

Same advice i have had the last 2 years you pick 1 north player and thats Goldy.

Thanks mate :)

Goldy and Vickers-Willis are the two in my side currently :)

oops i forgot about vicker :P

i have had him in my team all preseason.

i would also look at turner.

just not mountford.

forget my advice on no north guys.

i also have preuss in my squad :P

I really liked the look of Schoenmakers over the weekend and a lot of people say he is best 22.

Puopolo, Roughead, Breust
Gunston, Vickery, Rioli

With Sicily as well

How are they going to fit him in when they already have those 6/7?

Rough, Breust and Rioli will rotate through the middle. Gunston also pushes up the ground a lot. Sicily is playing in defense this year.

12 disposals from a whisker over half a game, so what was wrong with Hibberd's first outting? Yep, jump ship peoples.

I think it was the 31SC from that which turned people off

Still in the frame, and will be close to a lock in named round 1

31 from half a game isn't that appealing for me. Think Vickers-Willis played much better and I don't see them both playing round one.

Vickers-Willis is your man if you're only picking one, he'll step into Firrito's role.

Hibberd still on the watchlist though. 12 touches is pretty solid, even if his Supercoach score wasn't great.

cleans up efficiency and he'll be good

Put a line through David Myers.

Has a finger injury and will be out for 6-8 weeks.

Just saw that.. that sucks. The midfield actually fast becoming the hardest line to find rookies  :o

I'm now running a 6 premo, o'meara, swallow midfield. Going to be difficult to stick to a 100% GnR strategy now if no mid rookies pop up.

Hence why I have gone swallow m8

[Gigantor]

Silver lining: Good early downgrade option :)

[_wato]

Swallow M7 for me, non playing rook M11 (really handy forward dpp or cousins from Hawks)
