Hoping Steele misses again so I don't have to bench Nank to get Greenwood's score

[Jesty]

Anyone know anything about Witherden from Brissy in Def?

Trade Marchbank or Stewart to Ryan? Was planning on keeping  Marchbank as D7, but he has a little extra value and Stewart seems to be improving in the back half of the year.

Witherden had a slow start to the season due to injury.  has been BOG in NEAFL in last 2 weeks. Up to him to lose the position as I see him replacing Paparone who has not been in the best form.  Pressure will also come from Cox who has been named as emergency a few times. Fagan really wants mid tier players to step up which they have failed to do so is getting games into kids.
Witherden was taken with pick 23 in last years draft.

I would trade Marchbank as Stewart seems to have found form lately and Stewart has a lower BE which means he should go up more in value. I'm trading both for Ryan and Roberton to finish my def.

a few rookies avail this week:
beech  117k
cox  117k
brown  117k
karpany  185K

witherden 1 week early.  117k

may be a good week to cash in.
if brown gets picked, I think ill get him in for DPP as much as anything, to swap with Greenwood F/M cover hopefully for rest of the year.

whats others thinking of the rookies this week??

Beech/Brown/Karpany will be very lucky to last a few weeks even if named this week. Cox is very touch and go depending on Freo's ins and would be the one I would go of the bubble rookies on if any.

Witherden looks the most solid out of the lot, even if it is early.

[RaisyDaisy]

Matty White from Port at 198k on the bubble next week too

Wouldn't touch any of the others except Witherden

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hibberd this week.

Gut, or inside info ?

White is on the bubble this week with a BE of -46. Played in Rd4 for 63 points along with the 99 against Collingwood.

Just going on the solid VFL form. North may have a couple of forced changes this week too.  BF seem to be unanimous in wanting Scott to bring him in.  Feels like the right time.

If anything, this makes me feel like he won't play for the rest of the year.

I'll be getting Brown for the same reason above... DPP with Greenwood F/M cover.
My last rookie downgrade of the year I reckon.
