regarding Myers

McGrath to come in for Dea
Watson will com in could replace Myers or McKenna

Stanton was trash as well. He was dropped a couple of weeks ago and it wouldn't surprise me if he goes out again. McNiece was apparently rested so he could come back in with McGrath if it was a legit resting and they are keen to play him again.

Dylan Clarke had a really good game in the wet will be considered too

I wouldn't be surprised if both GC and Port take 'lesser' teams over to China. Eade has already come out and said that anyone with asthma won't play. I think this might open the door for Eddy.

Don't think either team can afford to be doing that. It's a must win for both teams and they both have a bye to follow so would expect them to both go at full strength

Can anyone tell me anything about Mutimer from WCE? What's his JS like? Doesn't look like a great scorer but he's on the bubble and I may have to get get him for a cash grab if Myers is dropped

What if some of the players don't have passports? :P Hypothetically a guy like Houston may not have expected to be picked for this game until he got selected for Rd 1, too late to get a passport at that stage.

Would be kinda funny if someone this week wasn't going to play because they had no passport.

You can get emergency passports within like 3 days.

I'm sure it was sorted out last week :P

Haha if the club didn't think about this when the game was announced then that would be a tad embarrassing for them ;D

im sure they would have passports sorted not like the first overseas game

btw Zaharakis another one that could be omitted

So... from what I've read, it wouldn't be crazy if Parsons kept his spot.

Cunico is close... he might get a belated birthday gift this week. Would have absolutely no complaints if he held down a spot seeing as he has the R12 bye and DPP.

quinny88 · May 08, 2017, 03:32:04 AM

Scharenberg named in the best players in Collingwoods VFL. Surely has to get a game soon with the way they are playing

Ringo · May 08, 2017, 09:48:05 AM

Berry is probably still an option this week at $170k. Negative break even and has JS and DPP. Ham[tpn to Berry would net $135k so close to the $150k I set for trades. Rd 11 bye is the only real issue.

Like Quinny I would like someone from West Coast to give an indication of Mutimers JS. Could be handy to sit at M11 with a cash grab.

Mat0369 · May 08, 2017, 02:43:57 PM

Berry has the terrible R11 bye

I saw this and was wondering where we could find out who from GC or Port had respiratory issues ;)

I wanted to grab him this week so glad to see you're recommending him! Like his JS
