JLT Player Discussion

Ah Chee was on crutches today at training

Tweaked his ankle in the JLT match

Things I have learnt in the first 4 games.

Correy Ellis could be a good pod if he continues to get midfield minutes at Richmond. He is the perfect cheap midpricer that most teams are looking for at D4. Richmond had a pretty strong team with Prestia and Rioli the only two players from the best 22 not playing which means he could be a real good chance to cement a spot in the team. If he impresses in JLT 2 he might just find him self in my team.

Walters and Smith could be the real deal. Although both have been touted all preseason to play more midfield minutes both did in the JLT which showed promising signs. Walters was playing in a team pretty close to best 22 which is even more impressing. If they both play bulk minutes in the midfield minutes they might be too hard to not pick.

Mundy could be a good pod. He is the wrong side of 30 but surely he wont go below 90 and is good for 22 games? Don't think I will pick him as he seems to be declining each year but he is on my watch list.

Stringer and Brayshaw could be flops. Both are in over 10% of teams (Brayshaw is currently in mine) but looked like they won't live up to the hype over the preseason. Stringer just didn't look like a midfielder and Brayshaw played over 70% game time and only scored 34. Be careful selecting either of them. Ah Chee is in a similar boat as he barely made it too the midfield from what I could see.

Fyfe and Gawn are must haves.

Barry, Doedee and Fritsch are locks.

Brayshaw (Fre) if named round 1 has to be considered as he looks really comfortable at AFL level. Davies-Uniacke also looked comfortable at AFL but didn't score incredibly well, need to watch and see.

The Good: Walters, Smith, C. Ellis, Mundy, Fyfe, Gawn, Doedee, Fritsch, Barry, Brayshaw (Fre) , Laird, Hibberd, Martin, M. Crouch,

The Bad: Stringer, Ah Chee, Brayshaw (Mel), L. McDonald, Bonner, Gray, B. Ellis

Not sure what Cory Ellis' exact minutes were in the midfield but he seemed to spend a lot of time there. Not sure if that's experimental for the JLT or it will continue. Prestia wasn't out there and Dusty and Cotch didn't play the last quarter so it may be a little inflated. I think we will know more in the 2nd game but he's definitely one to keep an eye on

No Treloar for the Pies says he is ok but in having scans this week he has had a lot of trouble with dodgy hips and groins reckon he is a bit sore thought he might be a smoky POD this year but a little wary now

Interesting the Pies have selected Mihocek over Sam Murray in defence. Thought Murray may have been a lock but not sure. Mihocek much cheaper though but will he get games. Know he is mature aged and takes intercept marks but that is all I can find about him. Anyone else know much more.

Murray is more of a running defender where as Mihock is more KPP that takes intercepts - Wonder if Mihock got the nod as there is no Howe.

[quinny88]

Murray as an emergency is a bit of a worry considering they have 8 of their best 22 not playing.
I'm sure I read that he was one of the best players in their intraclub game a week ago so surprised he's not out their

No Moore.

Maybe with Reid pencilled to play forward they are looking for more of a ‘like’ replacement hence why they’re giving Mihocek a chance....

String beans will have a 20 touch 3 goal game this week and everyone will be on him again.

;D But in all seriousness it's not a good sign, a few best 22 aren't named either so his chances are slim
Finlayson is looking like a better choice
