Thoughts on passing up Collins? Going to play more lockdown I feel, would rather go scrimshaw and use the 40k elsewhere

I have atm. Just have to wait for teams now.

Yep I have for now. Rolling with Clarke, Scrimshaw and Duursma on field. That may change with team selections though!

Also passing, think he will still make in the 100-150k range but so will Scrim/Clark/Durr/Hore if they get a run

Petrucelle pulled an 87  :o if only he saved that for the H&A, feel like that could be his highest score but it definitely gives me a little more confidence in picking him.

I'm passing on Collins too, but i cant for the life of me understand why so many want Clark, he is going to be a huge trap. Will be lucky to play R1 and even then will get canned right after. No Touhy or Bews in that JLT and he plays exactly like a discount Henry atm.

He looked incredibly good in JLT 1 and showed some very good signs in JLT 2 as well.

I would put him ahead of Bews and Henry but I might be biased.

I'd put Relton Roberts ahead of Bews. Boggles my mind how Jed Bews is still an AFL footballer

Collins might be a bit of a slow burn, but his JS should be rock solid, so he does give me confidence of being reliable in that regard

[hawkers65]

He is definitely not better than Henry, Henry is a jet. Bews adds a real solid defensive ability that the cats clearly love. Played all last year over more attacking options. Even if Bews doesnt come back Tuohy still does, and no one is leaving before Clark surely?

I'd keep Collins, because even if he's playing a more accountable role, he's still a good defender and will continue to take intercept marks and distribute it after that. Plus his JS is the best of all the def rookies on offer.

Exactly right. I mean, like any other rookie, if he plays well then of course he'll keep his spot and they'll find someone else to drop, but he's still the most likely person to make way for Tuohy.

I wouldn't wanna pay up for him to be dropped after 2 games when Tuohy returns and keep praying every week that he's listed as an in for the next price rise.

Just had a quick look at the FS best 22 for the Cats. They have the following

B: J. Kolodjashnij, L. Henderson, T. Stewart

HB: J. Bews, M. Blicavs, Z. Tuohy

C: G. Ablett, J. Selwood, M. Duncan

HF: S. Menegola, E. Ratugolea, B. Parfitt

F: L. Dahlhaus, T. Hawkins, J. Henry

FOL: R. Stanley, P. Dangerfield, T. Kelly

I/C: Q. Narkle, S. Selwood, N. Cockatoo, G. Rohan

So looking at their line up they have Henry up forward, no Harry Taylor, Bews and Tuohy as the HB's. They can't play all of Henry, Taylor, Blicavs, Jake Kolo, Hendo and Tom Stewart down back, that's way too tall.

One of the taller guys could play up forward and one will have to miss. O'Connor and Clark would have been the two smaller HB's that are replacing Tuohy and Bews in the line up. Bews is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen play so the spot is up for grabs between Clark and O'Conner.

[_wato]

Yep ^ especially playing Pies Round 1.

Think the pies will line up

Varcoe, JDG, Stephenson
JT, Cox, Elliott

Assuming WHE and Wells aren't available and probably Mihocek gets a gig off the bench.
Absolute headaches if the Cats go tall. Clark will play Rd 1, upto him to keep his spot. I also agree it'll come down to him and O'Connor for a spot moving forward.

Clark has more credits than people care to acknowledge, first thing is his elite kicking, best kick in the draft by country mile. When I stack him against Ed Richards I'd say he's a better prospect because his contested work is more evolved. Aside from that I doubt the big stage will phase him, took a hat trick playing for Australia u/19 against Pakistan, fully pro sportsman. And agree with Raisy, Bews is VFL quality, has no dash & no daring.

Hinkley confirmed that Drew, Butters, Rozee and Duursma and debuting Round 1.
