hey DTers! let's play 'help fever's dad win his prelim!' (please) (PIC incl)

[fever]

the matchups are: (not sure if he has any trades left, but i imagine if he does he'll upgrade nroo to someone and bench murdoch)

grimes v birchall
s shaw v suckling

boyd v watson
gibson v chapman

maric v mcevoy

stevie j v martin
zorko v murdoch

so what do you think? i have a couple of ideas but i'd like to hear from you guys first. cheers.

edit: pic fixed

[jaffa35]

Heath Shaw may not play - just a rumour - make sure you have good cover

[Mr.Craig]

Smedts to an 85k and Ellis to Waters?

[fever]

any reservations about playing gibson?

[Mr.Craig]

There's every chance he would've outscored Selwood anyway.

[fever]

bump for last thoughts before trades?

would really appreciate it guys

[fever]

fwiw i was thinking selwood>murphy, ellis>adcock. thoughts?

edit: actually prob enright over adcock

[Mr.Craig]

5 of Adcock's last 9 scores have been in the 60's so I wouldn't be too enthused about that. I guess a straight swap from Selwood to Murphy or Watson would be alright.

[fever]

thanks for the replies craig. thoughts on enright? his scores this year v wb and syd have been good (not that you can bank on that obv).

[Mr.Craig]

He's been loitering around the 80-90 mark for a while and I think he can do something like that against the Dogs and Swans. He's a bit like Birchall in that his score is reliant on what kind of game it is but I'd say he's worth a shot.

It would definitely help that team to have a quality D7.

[fever]

yeah thanks. my main worry with keeping gibson on field is that it leaves no mid cover and there are minor doubts over pendles and ablett playing.
