Cox Leun (Daw Rowe)

Franklin Lecras R,Gray
Varcoe Brynes Mcaffer ( Danniher Kerridge)


A few mid priced cows in there, with some multi position cover. If all goes well early should be able to boost that forward line pretty quick, although both lecras and gray could possibly hold there spot

gray wont start rnd 1, i dont think daniher will either.
bartel better suieted in the fwd line. better options then rance/broughton. vlastuin likely to be vested

[redfield]

Rance is an interesting POD. The theory seems to be that the inclusion of Chaplin will allow Rance more freedom and a subsequent increase in SC output. Correct me if I'm wrong but this weekend will be the first NAB Cup game for Chaplin so watch carefully how he and Rance operate.

You've spent a lot of cash in the midfield and, as a result, you've had to select a lot of mid-priced options in the forward line. Firstly, the two mid-priced options you've selected in the midfield are still struggling with injury so I'd have a back-up plan because I suspect that neither will play in round one. Embley might, but Ball won't. Also, if you're sold on Bartel then you'd be better off having him as a forward and selecting another player as your M5.

I'd also try to move Cox from R1 to F2 and inject some more cash into that forward line. As Keeper27 has already said, Gray won't be lining up for the start of the H&A season.

Def: Rance is a great POD as he will be released a lot more.Watch what sort of Role Broughton is playing before selecting otherwise downgrade to Yarran. Staker won't play for the first few rounds look at Stevenson as a replacement
Mids: From what i have read in todays paper Ball is not likely to play round 1 so look at Moloney as a replacement. Your midfield is weak. I would downgrade Embley to Crouch. Bartel really shouldn't be in the Mids
Rucks: Pointless having Rowe on your bench if Cox,Roughead or Ryder are not up forward.Replace Daw with Currie.
Fwds: First of all robbie Gray won't be playing in the early rounds so look for a replacement. Would only have one of Varcoe or Byrnes.

Team has problems as it has too many mid pricers give it a 6.5/10

[Keeper27]

staker, embley, daw, gray all injured.

[Rowan1812]

Backs: Rance is a great POD, Vlastuin will cop the vest alot. Staker is injured.
Mids: Put bartel in fwds, ball wont be playing round 1 and embley just hurt his hamstring so wouldnt go there even if he plays round 1.
Rucks: Put cox in fwds so you can switch with Rowe if need be and get either goldstein or mumford.
Fwds: Gray wont be playing for a few rounds. Only have lecras if you think hes a keeper. Need some better forwards.

I thought I saw back page Heraldsun headline today - "Ball Tearer" - is that Luke Ball and something torn?

Yes Ball is in extreme doubt for Round 1.
