Comments on these newby's named for Week 10 from the wise-ones who know all

My gut said to get Bell, but I got greedy and went the cheaper option in Skinner.

He will be dropped after that performance, especially missing that shot after playing on in the goal square. It was at such a pivotal part of the game when the Lions were still in it.  The look on Fagan's face said it all.  Skinner will be dropped and never to be seen again this year.

+1 and on top of that he comes from my neck of the woods in Gippsland.   Was gutted for the kid.

I think his only chance is if Fagan rests some of his forwards during this condensed few rounds.

Skinner might hold his spot with Rayner injured?

McStay coming back and maybe Rayner gets replaced by a smaller type player otherwise Lions forward line too top heavy you would think.

McStay still has one week to go.  So suspect skinner will survive this week. He or Ballandeen will be dropped when McStay comes back - Either will do the back up ruck work. Rayner is a small forward and his replacement more than likely will be Christensen.

Pretty sure McStay is back next game

Yep McStay is back just finished checking after writing post, So hard to keep track with all these games so one of Ballandeen.Skinner will de dropped for McStay,


Wanderer

With McKernan to return to a key post in attack, Worsfold guaranteed last week's debutant Sam Draper would play but was unable to confirm Tom Bellchambers would hold his place.

I'm tossing up using my last trade for either..

Draper

or

an untried mid in Schoenberg

For me it will make more sense in picking up a mid and keeping the Cameron/Xerri combo and make a over $115,000 in the trade

A quick search in Schoenberg looks okay for Justin McInerney imo

drafted at pick #24 and made the all australian team and won the MVP for SA, has pace and a good build

JBs-Hawks

Can you Draper this week and Schoenberg next week?

Draper to cover Grundy over his bye

Samsturmfels

Trey Ruscoe making his debut. Hopefuly Keane keeps his spot (as he's in my sc team).

Might roll the dice on him, a 117k defender is exactly what I need to ditch Williamson
