Welcome to the team Liam McBean/

[Nige]

Rowe with a 101 in the reserves and Dunstan with a 83 as E2 when he probably should have been E1. If we lose by the difference between Laidler and Dunstan's scores... I might jump off a cliff. 

Will do the head-to-head scores now.

Game over already. I'm so done with this shower. We're so flowering mediocre, it's not even funny.

Inb4 the flogging of a dead horse.

We need some tons or scores in the 90s to get us there, I'm not sure that will happen.

Beams has delivered every week and hasn't dropped below the ton so far which is good.

Prestia's struggled to break the ton in the past month (best score in the last month has been 101).

Douglas has missed three games (first round through injury, last two weeks through suspension) and otherwise has tonned once this season.

Smith has been hit and miss, he's either smashed it with 120+ scores or had a <80 week. Hard to tell which Brodie will turn up this week. The pattern says it will be an off week.

Rischitelli has tonned once this season and then only got 90 once as well, been a bit below what I've have hoped for.

Dwyer scored 46 and 26 in his two other games before his 112 last week before being subbed. Not sure how his injury will affect him this week (or if he's even playing...).

Currently 400ish points down with two less played. Need roughly 400 between our co-captains to be in with any form of a chance and for the remainder of the Cobras to do meh.

[Holz]

You will have mummy back after the byes so Cairo will be back.

400's a reachable target with two co-captains to come. Two 130's and you're there.

However I'm expecting Cotchin to have a good one against the Dees.

[roo boys!]

Face the tough decision of whether to loophole Ryders 152 and have to cop Henderson's 59 whoever I take off, or play my selected lineup and hope Pendles can go massive!

Depends who Henderson would replace...

I guess White, even Riewoldt on his bad day would be worth considering!

[Nails]

Ryder's 152 every day of the week

Quite possible Pendles score is what 120?

Therefore if you got a pretty average, predictable-ish Pendles score, your player that you take out for Hendo would need to score 91 to make up for it. Unlikely.

[roo boys!]

Yeah most likely White would be the one to go. Possibly even Adams but I'll back in my North boys.

Selection committee will post final side before the North Melbourne game with Swallow a chance to ease into things also.

No Lobbe :(. Changing up the emergencies for now!

PARISIAN NICE LYON REINDEERS

Backs: K. Simpson (145), C. Enright, J. Harbrow, T. Goldsack
Mids: M. Priddis (CC) (180), N. Jones (CC) (135), L. Ball, F. Ray (86)
Ruc: M. Lobbe (DNP)
Fwds: J. Westhoff (83), C. Rioli (40), C. Wingard (98), C. Dawes (61)
Int: J. Trengove (97), D. Shiel (62)

Emg: M. Jaensch, M. Thomas, J. Billings (70)

Priddis did great as Co-Captain although alot of passengers thus far in the round. Kade went huge to try his best! Not sure if it'll be enough to stop Moscow :-X.

Should have taken advantage of the loop hole for guys like Shiel and Dawes. Jaensch has a little injury concern, so has been relegated to emergencies, but will likely come on in place of Lobbe (at half points).

Sub Rule

Gault comes in for Josh Thomas and becomes co-captain just to make sure JT isn't a late in to screw me over, so Dys' 129 is the sole captain doubled score.

[Nige]

Rumours that Sam Dwyer might be a late out for the Pies and that Alex Fasolo may come in. Hoping that's not the case... but if it is, Charlie Cameron is getting a debut because Sam Kerridge is in my bad books.  :P
