McVeigh :o might have to reconsider not starting him now. That early season draw is pretty encouraging for him

[Master Q]

I went McVeigh -> Simpson for the cash.

Don't think this will change my mind  :P

[Ricochet]

Looked into McVeigh a bit further with Ele.

2012 and 2013 scores: (first half of the season / second half)
R1 GWS: 73, 77 / 149, 132
R2 Collingwood: 108 /  57, 104, 124
R3 Adelaide: 76, 100 / 72
R4 North: 100, 120 /
R5 Freo: 85, 95 / 122
R6 Melbourne: 72 / 126

Its a bit all over the place but the big one was GWS. Both of his first games against them are significantly lower than his average.

[Mr.Craig]

For whatever reason Sydney haven't been great fantasy-wise in their two Round 1 games vs GWS.

In 2012 they only had 2 tons (Jack and Bird) and last year they had 3 (Jack, O'Keefe and Mumford).

[Ricochet]

Yeh its interesting hey. Maybe its a sign of the kids getting tired later in the season

[elephants]

Haha, good to see the enormous amounts of number crunching we do Rico occasionally comes up with something kind of handy :P

[Ricochet]

Haha yeh usually its just crap but every now and then we stumble onto something

[Money]

I think I might take a punt on that 96 average from Bartel
