Lower b/e 52 v Port Adelaide
McKernan 44 v Collingwood

Who gets the move on first..? Could Mckernan be permanent bench cover? He seems unlikely to be dropped playing the dual ruck/forward role for Adelaide. I'm probably going to bite the bullet on both by bringing in Jacobs next week anyway, but who should I trade first?

I'm simply going Bruce>Suckling. No worries.

Then I'll sit and get Enright at $ 300,000  8)

Lower has a lot of sub-affected scores. they shouldn't sub him much more and his next match is against his old club in port. in saying that he will be warming my bench :)

Same here.  ;)

Yeah I think Lower is a better chance of pulling a 70+ and going up some more. McKernan it a permanent 40-55 man. Time for McKernan to go and bring in the pick of the year in defence... I'll have Heppell as last MID/DEF emergency & bye cover after next week!

I think that was for last week to make sure he was over a knee? complaint that caused him to e a late withdrawal, and then he busted out a 130+

Ahh yes, Those little icons are confusing and aren't 100% accurate and updated. Annoying

Insider out

Not very many teams pull high DT scores against Sydney due to stoppages, but they are mostly between half back and centre forward . His possie of FB pushing up the ground and the fact that he kicks out from goal will have its advantages. I reckon he will pull up well.

Sucking's b/e is 14 so regardless of where or who he is playing, he's going up a fair bit this week. Gotta bring him in. 2 fixtures v Gold Coast to come up including 1 in round 24..!

don't talk yourself out of him.....just do it...

I've been a fan all season, and I'm sure he will be great value unless he gets injured....but that risk with everyone...

clear winner i think in comparison to others....

+1.

Someone has suggested that with the hawthorn injuries Suckling may have to play a more negative role. Anyone else thinking this could be the case? Since they had the injuries all game against St Kilda and he didnt move, id have to assume his role wont change?

My thinking the past couple of weeks has been that Hodge gets the defensive forwad tag, as such giving Suckling more freedom. Possibly the Gilham injury makes things interesting but I think it'd make Gibson more accountable before it would Suckling. Suckling is the attacking weapon at the back.
