G'day listeners and welcome back to another episode of the Keeper League podcast
with the AFL Fantasy podcast that doesn't talk about the soup stars.
We only talk about the lesser-known and the players who will bring value to your draft
and Keeper League teams. My name is Heff and today I am joined by Aaron Bryan's commentator,
presenter, ABC, SA Grandstand. You call a bit on the national radio, don't you? On the commentary
and stuff like that, is that right? Yeah, we've had a pretty lucky draw this year
considering how many prime time fixtures we've had. Sometimes you get stuck on the second
game of a Saturday night, or we call it off-broadway on the mid-afternoon Sunday game, but yeah,
we've had a lot of national calls this year, which has been great based off the crows
and the powers form of last year. Not even just like the time slots and things like that.
How about the quality of games that you've had this year? Amazing. I reckon eight out of the 10
at Adelaide Overlook in Thrillers. I was barfing with a friend that I was looking forward to
port Adelaide in Hawthorne purely to just have a nice easy Sunday because we've had a ridiculous
month of footying and it just didn't play out that way. That was a bit of a crazy game in the end,
two goals in the last two minutes to win the game, but I'm sure everyone's seen the result already,
and I was completely misdefined as I am as to how portaleide got out of jail. I was listening to the
call last week and just something a bit funny. I was listening to the call last week and you introduced
Josh Franco and then Rod Jamison. Rod Jamison said thanks to Gret Josh and then Gret Aaron,
sorry, and you've completely forgot your name. Worked together for a good five, six years. So I'm
calling out Rod Jamison here for the other disrespect shown to South Australia's premier radio
presenting. He's such a good man, but he looks after me all the time. Who does he think he is like a
crows team of the decade, I'm forgetting someone like Aaron Bryan is playing for.
Going back to Curtain a little bit. The role that I've had as obviously had predecessors before me,
yes. I still get texts sometimes on the show from what people say or high jolt who was the guy who
used to do the job before me like five years ago. So people don't forget their favourite commentators,
yes. They always get, yeah, called somebody else every day. Yeah, that's fair, I guess, but still,
I wasn't happy with the disrespect shown. So I thought I'd call that Rod Jamison on this podcast. I'm
sure he's listening right now, but anyway, how's the, how's the spreadsheet keep going? How's your
team going? Yeah, not too bad. I've had a bit of a transitional period this year where I'm still
contending, but my Ford lines had a pretty dramatic shift. I had Tom Hawkins for so long. He's kind of
faded away, but I had all the Henry ready to go. So he's kind of my next big thing. Josh Dunkley is
my tackleist, had a great year as well, and had Tristan Sherry, who has finally come into his own. So
the Ruck situation's gotten a lot better because I had him in Matt Flynn, who obviously died early.
So yeah, it's been an all right year and I keep a league. It's been probably the closest it's been
ever. So we usually have like a mid season pick for a side that's ninth and tenth that's a fair few
wins away from the rest, but we're about separated by four points. I reckon the whole team is pretty good.
Yeah, how's this quite similar, actually? I think the top two teams are two games ahead,
like on even points, and then I think the top four or the next few have decided by another
couple games or something like that as well. So I think like we were talking about it on the
group chat this morning, how much fluctuation there has been in scoring or like you know,
good gangs, bad games from players like if you're a player that owns, if you're someone who's like
bond tour, Timmingliss, you're getting one good week, one shit week, something and it really like flips
your scoring and stuff like that. Well, we probably mentioned it across the pod, but Dane Zorke,
what is going on there? I think a lot of people wouldn't have picked him in most draft format
simply because he was older and injury prone. And in it from a classic perspective, it's almost like
he's must have now. He's too expensive to get. He is too good for this podcast, far too good for this
podcast, but like there's been a few things on him though, like I was offered him in a trade earlier
on in the year like pre-season, I said no way, that guy's snub and hammy around too and he's finished
like he's retiring and then this year I'm not saying anything. There's so many names in the middle,
why would he get it going there? 100%. So there was that Roy when I was on the traders earlier on
this year, he was like, "Who do I keep? Do I keep Angus Sheldrick or do I keep Dane Zorke?" Luckily,
I convinced him to keep Dane Zorke, but I was thinking like Sheldrick could come on like pre-season,
like it's been a weird year for the top end guys that have kind of come out of nowhere. And yeah,
Aruba Primo's have been a bit hit in me seven though. Exactly, so yeah, it's been a bit of a crazy
year and we'll talk about some, we'll might talk about some later ups and stuff like that, but they're
more classic related and I'm pissed off with my classic side of the moment, so I might not even
talk about it. Anyway, just want to thank Game Day Squad for sponsoring the podcast,
huge supporters of this show and many things that we do wouldn't be possible without them.

done that, click the link in the podcast description below this episode to add your team name to the
spreadsheet and I spin a wheel each week and read out a name and this week's winner is Dane Zorke.
So well done to Dane Zorke. It's the Dane Zorke, I think his DT talk writer Dane Zorke has been around
for years, Eric and that's the guy. He's an Adelaide boy and Portes Ported in this world.
Yeah, definitely. That's a good win by Dane there. I get in contact with me and I will send you the
code for around 10. Anyways, let's get stuck in to the round review. So we started off on the Thursday night,
Gold Coast Sun versus Jolong Kat, full disclosure, didn't watch this game. I went to see the official
band of AFL Fantasy, I would say, Luca Brassi. Oh, one is favourite. The T-shirt always seems
to feature on the Trader's podcast. We actually went to see them the night before the grand final in
Melbourne do their acoustic show and let's just say it was a pretty loose night. I think the vibes I get.
I think I started drinking the grand final parade earlier in the day and I think the show was at about,
and that started about 10 and I think the show was at about 10 o'clock. They started. So it was a
long day for me and yeah, let's just leave it at that. So I didn't watch this one but I'm hoping you
say something. So let's start with Alex Sexton, the whole sexy back thing, 126 point, is he back and
can he hold his spot? That's more what I'm worried about. So in your classic formats, he's obviously
going to be a player that you're trading in because he's got some cash rise, low break even all that
sort of stuff. But in our draw formats, we're worried about the rest of the season. We'll power
obviously out of the moment. What are your thoughts? Can you hold his spot? I think he can, yes. So the
issue I guess earlier in the season was they had a plethora of players they could use in that role of
half back and he just wasn't as damaging as others and we kind of saw that with Zach Fisher to an
extent at North that Clarkson got frustrated with how little impact he was kind of having makes him
the sub everyone jumps off from a classic perspective and now all the sudden he's right back and
it's the same with Alex Sexton sent back to the two's just couldn't find a way back in the will
power suspension. So all the way out to round 15 has to have it some time to work back into that
as well. So it's probably not going to be forever from an Alex Sexton perspective but there's going
to be other injuries around that. Yeah. At the moment he's in this squad maybe later in the year he
becomes more of a sub risk but yeah the potential is mega and the game in itself in Darwin obviously
Jolong were leaking points. It was hot footy. They were going to the cool room every single quarter break
and the suns were staying out. They were almost a mental flex. Yeah, that's awesome. It was amazing.
So I think the high ceiling that he had, you know, you're not going to get one 20 every week. Yeah.
It's the Alex Sexton that we saw across the preseason. Yeah. A guy that's frotating off halfback
he's taken will power's role. He'll comfortably hold that until he's available for selection once
again and because power's been out for such a long period of time with that suspension maybe he
goes back to the two's for a bit and it just gives you know Sexton a good month of footy to find
himself and show hard week what he can do. So I don't mind it as a quick little pick up the difficult
part I guess from a keeper and a draft perspective is there's going to be a lot of comps that don't
play through the bice and maybe by the time the bireons are over he's lost all of his scoring values.
So I don't mind jumping on it now. Just be prepared that if you're in one of those leagues where
you're not playing over the next four weeks and by the time you start up again it's going to be
treacherous with power now available. Yeah, that's that's what more was my thinking but like I do think
he's performing too well to probably be dropped anytime soon really especially with power out.
The one thing that feels me with a bit more confidence is that his VFL form leading into this
kind of steamed like the power opened the door obviously but his VFL forms huge coming into this game
so he kind of earned his spot again as well and I think he's like done a lot of he's in dims good books
at the moment I think as well so yeah that definitely helps I want to have a quick look at the line-up
as well in guess of in terms of their bench players for that so buddy Euland yeah and David Swallow
always sees he's more mid forward but towards the back end of his career so I guess the concerning part
for Damon Harbick depending on whether sons are in a month is looking ahead and powered obviously
be the priority over a sexton but in terms of that bench depth there I can't see why yes
sexton couldn't hold his spot even as the rotation in of half back was joe jefrey playing in this game
yeah back on the half back yes at half back pocket so there's another one that probably would go out
before he does as well so there's probably a few in there that's um yeah he could hold his spot
when he first got admitted it seemed like a shock to be honest yeah he had a bad game the round
before he was dropped which I reckon was three he'd coincide with flan is going back and then we'll
pause on the other one so it felt like he's formed before that it mean to have one bad game and then
miss so much footies result of it felt a little harsh yeah so having back in the 22 and firing like
I'm pretty confident least over the next month that he keeps that role and has that high ceiling
to continue yep no agree all right let's move on so barely hunt freeze I'm not going to talk about
this one too much but kick five goals scored 101 points not gonna do that every week but it's just
a good sign for the future with a young player like him who does seem to be more of that mid forward
type jack lecocious was kind of the same like 90 points five goals what do you think about him playing
for those the role is nice for fantasy or is it a big person probably not like he's not scoring
five goals every week and Ben Kings probably still going to be the main target but the one thing I've
always liked about lecocious is he's so flexible to get around the ground so at least best he can push
up to that wing and find the footy you're right in terms of a fantasy perspective the halfback role
is much more fruitful yeah um but he doesn't like playing there he wants to be up forwards so um I think
part of the incentive of staying considering the south Australian clubs have come asking yeah
is probably hey this is the job I won and I'd like to play in this role so um I still see him and
kind of king is the the twin towers up forward for the suns moving forward and dimma has said it
was a mistake to put him back again as well so I just don't see him going he's got that flexibility as
well so if they do have a game like similar to the weekend with port and horthon where you kind
of want to set up a wall and hold a lead he could do that so um you can yeah rotate him however
you please but from a fantasy perspective you probably want to look at him as a forward because that's
where he's predominantly going to be yeah still worth owning I think as with the forward status and
for those games he does pop up and like you know I played a hundred point at this week he had him on
field scored 90 points like it was fine for him so yeah still a worthy option in K-Polig's I think
um Lloyd Johnson scored eight nine points I have no idea who this guy is neither died two weeks ago
okay it's totally random but he was the water boy for the sons of few years ago no way and enough
he picked up as a category be rookie and yeah he had a massive game on the weekend his first one
was very quiet understandably because he's essentially come from nowhere as a young promising talent
I mean given a go but hardweak loves him yeah it's a ripping story of kind of hardship to get where
he's got to and yeah a really impressive game so maybe one to just keep an eye on to see if he can
back it up he's getting you know 60 70 plus this weekend yeah maybe he is a handy kind of depth
player to bring in depending on how deep your league is yeah might be an option classic formats as
well if he's got a low break even after that performance um Ned Moil 82 points what do you think he
like do you think he's a successor to Joe wits once he goes or do you think they fast track Ethan
Reed what's your take on that because they playing Reed as a bit of a key for you yeah I still think
Reed is going to be the guy it sounds from all reports that Ned Moil will find a new home but it's
going to be pretty easy for him to do that because he's such a talented rockman so in a keeper perspective
hold him because he he dominates hitouts and he's starting to form what is more of that modern
rockman who can find disposals take marks around the ground which is kind of yeah your marshals your
English and your gorns so I really like him but I don't see him staying at the goal coast I think
that the plan is to get him out of there maybe a crow's could look at him possibly considering
that Raleigh O'Brien isn't that modern rockman right now but I feel like wits into Reed is
is the succession plan yeah no I feel that's the the case as well and you know Ethan Reed should be a
decent fancy option when he gets that role it's just yeah when it comes about and how long
wits has got to go I guess while on the topic of rockman will flip over to Jolong now there's not
much to talk about but Toby Conway every time he plays he impresses me he's so good scored 94 points
in the weekend do you think that they just stop flipping bringing Reese Danley and flipping the
rockman around or and just go with Conway for time or good of inside a knowledge here on this one
so Cameron links part of the ABC sport crew and has been pretty open about the pathway for Toby
Conway so dominated in the VFL for years and Chris got absolutely loves him yeah it was just a
matter of getting him in and around I guess where Jolong were currently sitting not to throw him into
early when they're contending the plan was in round nine to actually essentially pass the torch so
Stanley was going to come out Tom Kirby Conway is going to come in and he was going to be the
number one rock moving forward and I think he got the floor something and they decided to manage him
so he didn't play VFL he didn't play senior footy finally got the go this past weekend so I think
from here on out it's Toby's kind of team and they'll be times where Stanley comes in and give him
a chop out maybe every four game yeah just to make sure they don't overload him and Jolong's
very good at that at managing his superstars and giving them time to develop but he's you know done
the hard yards he's been there for a few years now he's been waiting for his opportunity and he
went so many hitouts in the VFL he was getting you know 40 50 a game yeah it's not going to obviously get
that ceiling consistently at the AFL level but seeing him and Moil match up on Thursday you got two
future stars in terms of rocks guys that we'll be talking about in you know four five years time
is hopefully the next big two so yeah Conway's one if he hasn't been picked up in your leg do it
because he is their number one rockman now I think there's a few Toby Conway owners out there that
are going to be pretty happy to hear that piece of information as well hopefully you can stay
for the rest of the season um Stanley swans versus Carlton moving on to Friday night again
not a heap to talk about this one Hayden McLean had 98 points I think it's more just a tip of the cap
forwarder and the second kind of rock option gets a few hitouts I think you keep the gold a patty's stats
Matthew Kennedy we keep coming back to him because you know started the in the forward line now playing
in the midfield I think he was the sub a few weeks ago but he got the forward status scored 97 points
on the weekend like he's probably too good for the podcast given on how he's scoring because he's
the last three out of four games he's scored over 80 and he had that 15 but he was the sub that week
what are your thoughts in terms of their midfield I think that was an article on aphel.com.au saying that
the the count midfield are really lacking at the moment or they need some more support do you think
he plays a part in that do you think that's the thing yeah three of the last four he's had 67%
or higher and his CBAs so he's he's getting an injection kind of out of nowhere as he touched on
early on he was very much a depth player who was starting forward and occasionally rotating in
and I think it's come at the expense of George Shewitt a little bit his past few weeks he was the
sub and then really poor on the weekend so I think they're just trying to figure out what to do
with that fourth midfield a cherror obviously missed with the hamstring he'll be back in a few weeks but
it's still kind of cryptswashed cherror and then that fourth almost Oli Wines kind of role yeah
maybe it's Matthew Kennedy's world now and and George Shewitt's the guy who's going to be either the
sub or the guy off the bench who I think the two of them have always battled it out for that
possible opportunity to go 80 plus and the other ends up being 50 60 and right now Kennedy's kind
of winning out yeah no I agree so yeah two good for the podcast based on scoring I'll give it to him
but I think they're still like something to rethink maybe when cherror comes back as well and
how they actually decide to structure their midfield of next few weeks because yeah it's clear
that that something's not going right for Carlton whatever they're doing right now and they might
need to you know make some changes going forward as well um the only other one is Mark pitnet 79 points
just want to highlight that ever since he's come in he's taken everything away from he has on the
counting and you know all the things that people are getting excited about they're just about
injury helps that to extend as well I think that would love Tom DeCone to be more of a raft by
that's true they need that forward option so pitnets the guy yeah maybe Tom DeCone is a
biolo for next year in your keep leaves when Silvani does come back onto the Collingwood versus Adelaide
game let's get your thoughts on the run too far at the end of the ground how many steps was it was
it the right call I was always pretty confident that it was the right call I know it's that an
inconsistent call yeah but it was in the moment he taken the bounce at Sennahwing and ended up at
the attacking edge of the square and I immediately messaged our ABC group chat and kind of said
look center squares 50 meters so it's basically run 25 yeah it ended up being 24.2 so there was massive
vindication I was stoked with that but frustrating for for crow's fans they've had four decisions over
the last two years go against them in tight games and my my argument to that is they're in those
positions because they're still not quite good enough to match it with the best anyway yeah but it
doesn't make it any better as a fan knowing that you could have nabbed a pretty big win and you've
lost an opportunity to I think for crow's fans are the positive signs there that you're getting within
these big close-ups this year's a bit of a stagnant year yeah like they're hopefully
to going to take the next step this next year I mean the reports today are that there's a big
money offer for Elliott Yorl that coming through so I don't mind that complimenting their midfield
yeah yeah from from a crow's perspective I think they're on their eyes the ranken injuries very
frustrating though from that play to do his hamstring and be out three weeks because he was on a
role in terms of his champion data ratings and from a fantasy perspective that you know carried
over as well he was scoring quite comfortably in it in a very limited option forward line well on
that topic I think we've got to make a ranken too good for the podcast if we hadn't made him already
because yeah it's just a pity he's done that string up not sure the severity of it but you know he'll
be back for you for a weekend about three weeks so after the buy yeah I feel for a doccy that was his
unique peek in his super coach team he was going to actually just got him in super coach oh no yeah
there's a full strike there damn that sucks um I'll look we'll look at Colin wood real quickly but
Jack Chris had 118 points so now officially too good for the podcast because he's had those three big
scores what are your thoughts with Mitchell being out at the moment do you think he even comes back
into Mitchell or do you think they're more comfortable with Jack Chris on the half-back line still
side-bottom has been playing on the half-back flight so it's kind of forced a bit of a structure what do
you think Colin wood's ideal structure in terms with Jack Chris but their midfield is and maybe
Mitchell potentially coming back in I still think they they rotate their midfield through the year
to get to September and when you talk about the ideal combination um for me Nick Daikos has to be in
there but at times they've opted against it DeGoey I love him in terms of um the electricity that he
brings the dash and the the burst of energy and Pendabri at his best is is amazing but again for his
age they're going to have to monitor that so 93% time in the middle of the game but he's not going to
have that every weekend because it just will burn him out so Chris will get minutes around what's
happening because I think Tom Mitchell's best as a sub yeah um and he's going to get games where he'll
play full game time to give someone else a chop out but I think he's the last one in that line of
some stars you just rattled off and DeGoey the last few weeks out through injury and then didn't
get a single CBA on the weekend that that will change so the big score from the weekend for Jack
Chris um isn't going to be there consistently because I still think DeGoey comes back into that
mix at times yeah um so for me it's DeGoey Daikos Pendabri um you rotate a Mitchell or a crisp
through that after yeah fair enough yeah I think Tom Mitchell owners would be pretty worried um yeah it
does seem like there's a bit of what I call the fossil rotation as well as a husk and Elliott
Pendabri has been subbed out like there's been a bit of a rotation with a few of those older players
as well which probably doesn't bode well for uh well you can fantasy leagues when especially you don't
play loop holes or anything like that it can be a bit tricky when players get and subbed out um
the other one for the crow is Luke Nankervus um I've got 79 points here but I think it was more than that
in the end um but for me he just looks like a fantasy type um I think he took quite a few marks in that
game feel those were contested as well who do you think like is he the guy that would replace
Brody Smith long term do you think I love this kid I'm surprised every time I see him to he's gonna
play his 12th game on the weekend like for me he feels like a 2030 at least kind of game I think he
debuted against the uh against Colin Wood last year didn't he he's got just so much
composure for a kid and understands that half back role very well which is you've got to have a
burst of speed off the line you got to be damaging and penetrating with your kick down the wings and
he's got all of that so I really like his potential for yeah guy that's only played 11 games and
yeah he got 87 in the end on the weekend and it was a career high 11 marks so yeah he's
building slowly like for me he's a 67 he's guy right now but hopefully next year he pushes into
yeah though you know the best of a Jack Chris ball what we're seeing a little bit out of Josh
War all before we got injured yeah he can be an 80 plus kind of player yeah I've got him on my
rook list in my keep legs so that means I've got two years of him for free so I'm pretty happy with that one
let's move on to the Giants versus the Western Bulldogs what do you think's going on with the Giants
right now I don't know I haven't honestly seen a lot of their games the last few weeks because for me
they were easily it felt like a Sydney kind of Giants yeah Derby two best final yeah and I don't know
what's happened the last few weeks for them to fall away like the um Canelia was injured for a bit now
Josh Kelly's out yeah he was more of an outside guy not as damaging as what they've seen
I'm not entirely sure Toby Greens had a really off year just not as damaging as he normally can be
yeah isn't the scoreboard is comfortably so yeah I'm not quite sure what the the turnaround has been
I've got to put a spotlight on them to be honest this weekend because yeah we've got to figure out
what's going on there yeah definitely I've got no idea I didn't get to see too much of this game
the twilight games are always difficult for me but um we'll move on to some players Nick Haynes 115 points
he's on the bubble for two good for the podcast he just kind of floats across that half-back flank takes
grabs I've been saying on the podcast for a few weeks I completely disregarded his VFL form because
I was just like this guy's not going to come back in you know come back into the scene you're team but
including his VFL numbers I think he's had something like four or five last tons out of his last five
games or something like that as well VFL said this year the four games he's played three of them have
gone 80 plus 90 and 110 so yeah and we haven't really looked at Isaac coming yet either
he's been out injured for the whole year so maybe he ends up holding that spot yeah yeah I just
wanted to keep monitoring but if you scores like that again next week you know the 80 plus is too
good for the podcast um the big one uh there is Ed Richards so uh Jordy Flag team last week as the
new libra uh I like it 97 points uh on the weekend actually I think yeah 68 half-time there's
both loves him yeah he's been trying to get him in the midfield mix all year yeah he's been kind of
floating through and obviously the expense of a Jack McCray and yeah now you're right libra out
with the concussion indefinitely is kind of release the shackles to give him fully a go yeah
he's caching in on it so if you've got Ed Richards you'd be uh pretty happy he's pretty close to
too good for the podcast as well I think it was particularly impressive that Jodie Baster generally
that midfield is pretty hard to score against turns of fantasy points and like I think I think
anyone for the dogs been over 100 in this game as well so for Ed Richards to be the top scorer
like if he comes up against like a west coast or you know north Melbourne or something like that
yeah could have see had you long give away points in the midfield absolutely feast a Richmond even
we'll talk about your target in a second can we not um the other Sam Darcy as well like I think he's
almost too good for the podcast as well 86 points just an amazing season he's happy just I think
we kind of knew being an early picky was eventually going to be this good but it was just a matter of
when and another kind of throwback to bevo in the sense that um playing so many different roles
over the last year yeah floating down back occasionally getting a go forward and finally gets a
proper crack at it just kicking goals at ease every single week the only downside I guess is
he's I've looked at some of the numbers through the last couple of days he's not going to get
rock status yeah so he was just stay forward now do you think he's one of those players that benefits
from going into the ruckus do you think it hinders him you know moving away from the goals and things
like that it's a little bit of extra points and he's good around the ground yeah yeah I don't mind it
um but yeah he's kind of bigger scores have been when he's had you know four or five goals so
you probably do want him to stay at the stage yeah that's what must my thoughts I used to love the
idea of the ruck forward but now I'm thinking they're better off staying forward the more I look at
the lute Jackson yeah exactly oh there you go but maybe not the uh maybe not the case uh there um
thank you to versus free man tool maybe not speaking off um not a lot to talk about here either
I think it's just getting that stage in the season where we've kind of unearthed all the players we
need to talk about but Josh battle has been playing forward the last few weeks but he's gone back
into fences where he can still have 87 points so I think he's just taking grabs and you know I don't
know what do you think I like a good swing man yeah yeah yeah play multiple roles and find the
footy especially in a st. Kilda lineup that's so stagnant with his ball move yeah um if he is
able to get around the ground and do multiple things that certainly helps his viability because
if you're stuck in defense at the saints it's sometimes it's easy with your plus sixes but um you
know yeah really imposing yourself on a game at all are you no no really um what are your thoughts on
Matthew Johnson so 84 points so I'm used as like an inside mid more last season when five was
out of the team five's come back and it's kind of pushed him out to a wing they've got someone like
Nathan O'Drisco I think he's not far away from playing who's an outside top that I think they're one
X ballad rasmus like we're just going he's just well in the waffle is put in a huge numbers as well
so well I think I don't think they played on the weekend I think there's a stake down
first pick that kind of been waiting to finally break through but I think he's had back to back like
big scores in the waffle as well so there's a few players like that what are your thoughts on him
does he have upside Matthew Johnson I think so yeah these young he's scoring well the issue I guess
is that three manals midfield was a whole is so young so it's a wrong brace sure and young are
going to be there for indefinitely probably the next six seven years so five's the one that leaves
the gap yes like is he the is he the next inside guy or do they roll with someone else or do they
try on rasmus it's yeah I'm not entirely sure I think they've got a lot of options at least which is
handy I guess for Matthew Johnson's sense he's not too bad when he does rotate forward a little bit
so I guess that maybe that's to his detriment from a fantasy perspective because maybe a rasmus can't
do that yeah I think they've played a rasmus on the outside of fear bit sometimes when we've he has
been given a go yeah sweet kowtseek is the other one he's attacking machine he flies a lot of
pressure when he's put in so he's been out of the moment but yeah there's a couple of options to
kind of take that fourth spot yeah there's an interesting it's an interesting mix with Freemet
it's like one you can't really you know you know you've got a crystal ball I'd love to tell you
the answer to it but yeah we just have to wait and see how that one actually pans out we're kind of
getting halfway through the round of view so I'll just take the time just thanks some goal members
just firstly huge thank you to all the members well the new people that have signed up during the
week there's been a handful of new members sign up hearing the call because yeah like it's
honestly this podcast doesn't go ahead without members signing up to support it because it's the
only reason I can find the time to actually do this week in week out and do all the content
that's associated with it so just a huge heartfelt thank you to those people that have signed up
and I emailed quite a few of them as well personally just to say thanks but the 15th first 15
goal members to read out thank you to Aaron Timiny Aaron Luzlett Tom Carey Tom Seagram Adam LeVaz
Evan Brumbi Ryan Daniel was footy Ryan I what a legend Brad Holland who's a good madame
as well J.O.D Hunter Andrew Hutchin Cam Fox echo echo an interesting name Jason Miller Matt Nash Ben
M and Isaac Henry thank you so much to all those goal members who have signed up to support the show
all right you said you wanted to avoid this part but here we go look Brisbane Lions versus Richmond
did you watch it I saw bits of it do you find a tricky to watch your team when they're in a state like
this a little bit but I'm also kind of conditioned to it yeah okay it's a funny one that you have a
short term memory because Richmond had so much success yeah in the late you know trutans but I grew
up in the Terry Wallace era so yeah I'm very accustomed to Richmond being terrible yeah and knowing
kind of but at least during that Wallace era we were competitive and I think we only had like one
spoon during that time whereas this this feels like West Coast two years ago yeah definitely it's a
little it's still a little bit of a shock to me that with there's so many injuries yeah so they're
basically playing with 29 active guys so you're not getting your kids any game time because they're
off the bench the margins are so bad yeah and then there's the rumblings of senior players getting off
as elsewhere and and yeah West Coast will like this a few years ago and I guess I've got to learn from
what their supporters went through and kind of just copied on the chin because I still kind of
look back to 2017 when I was lucky enough to go to the grand final didn't think we'd win and we got
it yeah and I just kind of said to all my friends look we never have to win another game again
to experience this and a lot of people don't thank you would offense having for a long time free
offense never have so yeah it's really awful kind of being a Richmond supporter right now because
we're just terrible and miserable but it's the highs and lows of football right absolutely it's
not fun if you win all the time I don't know what it being a gelong supporter would be like but
I think to have a hardship and then win a flag just makes it so much more better so yeah 100%
yeah I'm happy to ride this through well I think there's a couple of takes in this first one is like I
attribute some of my funnest times at the footy is when like that oh wait to 2012 period where
port were terrible because it's just your expectation you rock up have a laugh about how shit you are
like talking mates about it especially like when you know we had that that time we had a flag in
the last like five years time things that was about time to go through it it ended up being a bit
shitter than it probably was but I still found it like a still not a bad time to go to footy
I think it's more frustrating when you should be winning and you're not winning like you think you've
got a good team we had a period there like 2018 19 20 where for so long I didn't know what it was like
to be the favorite yeah exactly you're on edge every single game because you're supposed to win as
you said and I don't mind going in with no expectations sometimes and just hoping for the best I
think it's worth like worse being a top four team like port out for the last probably four years
you know and then just not getting there like you know that sometimes even worse like it was way
Melbourne type thing as well even though they did jag one so I got that glass of full aspect of
that is tazzy's coming in and for in four years times that was my second point if you're
bottoming out right now as Hawthorne West Coast North and Richmond are doing the hope is that you pick
up the promising first round as before you cannot yep and then you know the sides that are up top
right now who fall away yeah I'm looking at lists like the Giants I think they're going to have like
canilio kelly will be gone by the time tazzy comes in yeah and then they can't get picks to
replenish that that's my greatest fear because we've given up so many first rounders to get you
know Hawthorne so I think we can go back up a first round of this year I think you don't have one
coming up yeah exactly like it's three years without a first round it's bloody scary with tazmania
coming in given how hard it was to even pick up players when we were boarding me out when gold
coats and jitters came and we still were only getting like you know lucky to get Chad Wingard at pick five
and things like that so scary time for those teams that are up the top now especially if you don't
jag a flag but anyway onto the game itself I don't think we can take too much out of this like
game in terms of scores to be honest like I'm going to just going to say this like plain and simple
there's richman factor when you play richman now you win just 100 points exactly just dominating
position so khaloeman 99.4 goals had him on field in super coach this week's I'm pretty happy with
that dazzy we want 96 points kind of a can of 94 points jack pain even though he's like
he's had a really off year hasn't he but it did it last week didn't he as well against text he took
a stack of lots of people much better yeah so to that I remember doing in my prep I thought
you know as to your jack pain was pushing towards all the Australian then how well he was with his
intercept marking yeah he just hadn't seen that this year maybe that's a reason why Brisbane have
been struggling a bit that Harris andries has had to hold the load but you're right he was a lot
better in the draw against the crows and yeah back that up this week yeah so he might be one to be
looking at but you know we've seen so many key defenders put up back to back like Marquay and
earlier on the season was you know scoring huge and then you know putting up 40s and 50s so like
nothing to get too excited I honestly can't pick anything out of this game like the best score for
Richmond was Nan Curves just a real nothing game the only thing you take out of is just stream your
players against against the Tiger see got all yes and players I've got Archie Perkins joy
called well I think I've got another one in my team is that merit needs a big score actually this
could be the weekend for absolutely so yeah if you got in making captain this week maybe
Essin and versus North Melbourne speaking of the bombers Peter right I'm just going to tip the
cap against him 115 points on the back of four goals probably not too much to talk about the
more interesting ones of players like Archie Perkins 100 points he's actually averaging 98 points
when Darcy Parish doesn't play so even that said though he's showing signs of taking a leap at the
moment do you think he becomes one of the elite kind of fantasy players going forward I want him
to be because you're right when he gets that opportunity grabs it pretty comfortably and Durham
didn't play as much in the middle because I think he heard his show during that game so the the
issue with the bombers that I have is they're very open and honest that they're trying to recruit a
big name midfielder when they've already got there's a lot of energy field chill and then Perkins and
Durham trying to force their way in cordwells on the outside yeah like they've got and Hobbes Hobbes
isn't even getting time I think they've got so many midfield options and they're still trying to find
another yeah it just worries me about those kids because Durham is he I feel like he's their best
midfield yeah I think so so it's the merits the game winner yeah but Durham's the hard body who's
you know tackling intensive forcing turnovers like I love Sam Durham yeah I just want them to
to go all in on him yeah no I'm not sure what Brad Scott is kind of thinking in terms of the depth
around that midfield because they've got so many names and he just doesn't seem set yeah on what it is
if anything they probably need another key forward role like target up forward if anything but
uh I like Darcy Parish's supplier yeah I'd actually do find that when he's not in the side they look
a little better I agree yeah definitely so interesting one Archie Perkins watch to see what happens
with Parish this week if he is out again and then Archie Perkins kind of takes over again there could
be a big score in the cards might be around one top score from Archie Perkins Mac wealthy kick three
goals squad 80 points like he wasn't playing that tagging role I don't think this week so he's just
more so one to watch when you've got like a half back flanker type that is a ball winner to he'll
probably nullify them yeah in terms of games but seemed like he wasn't actually playing the tagging
role this week and the other one is Charlie Combin like just had back to back 70 plus scores
plays that intercept role like just maybe one to look at as a as a forward although I wouldn't feel
comfortable playing him each week I think north is you never can stream them because they never
get the prime time games early on the week and I just wanted to have a check so different
looks still quite a while away yeah so he's probably still gonna hold down that tall body down back
for at least the next half of the year I think Clarke likes him too like and they've been kind of
playing like they they spent the preseason kind of prepping in for this role because he used to
play as a forward obviously well there was that opportunity with Coleman Jones out to flip him
back forward one time yeah that's what I call the trigger on yeah yeah so yeah it didn't happen moving on
to the probably the match of the round and Port-Alien versus Hawthorne which you were lucky enough to
be in the country box for a few players here say Jason Horn Francis back to back 100 plus scores but
coincided with Rosie out wines came out of the game early do you think he can be more consistent from
now on let's say Rosie comes back next week does he fall away again entirely up to Ken Hinkley
really and I'm not totally sold on it yet I mentioned this the other day I think that he reminds me of
Caleb Sarong remember for a few years it felt like he was gonna be the next big thing but he just
kept averaging 80 or 90 he was stuck around just underneath that over premium mark in a couple of years
I went on him early started with him thinking this was the year and he just never took that step
and finally out of nowhere he just did and then this year he's backed it up and gone even better
and an old Francis has all the makings so when he's given a go he puts that team on his back he was
the best player out there on Sunday he was the only one really fighting for all four quarters but
it stood up at the end but on Francis was the one who was desperate the whole time yeah and I think
you know the sign is like other teams actually pay him attention like and I find this really strange
because this kind of going off topic but no one has tagged Sarong yet this season weird like yeah no
one has really gone to him and shut him down problem yeah Bracio has been more outside and winged
yeah they've got a young and stuff like that like it's a bit crazy but all Francis is in that similar
mode I think it's just a matter of time yeah the weird thing is so horn Francis is in their best midfield
mix as it's rosy in bothers that's it's very scary trifecta so they don't play them together yeah it's
always winds in or drew in alongside two of them yeah I get it to kind of spread the load and maybe
make sure they're all damaging when they get their chances but maybe Ken inkles kind of waiting till
September to unleash them all together but there's going to be a period of attack type thing it's
just timing that run there's going to be a period where he goes yep it's now and horn Francis the
shackles are off in a way you go and he's a hundred averaging player as soon as he gets that he just
needs 60 to 70 percent midfield time yeah he's away I'm just I just don't have any confidence right now
like Razzie said Rosie's coming back in one's will play on the weekend and Ken inkley just hasn't
kind of giving him free rein as of yet yeah no it's a yeah it's fun it's just you just got to wait
for him to like he's what's in his 30 year now he'll average over 80 this year probably
I mean I hope so yeah Ken pulls the trigger around round 20 and then heading into next year we know
what we're getting and he's still going to be pretty affordable yeah hopefully that's the case um
Travis Boca just want to flag scored 107 points on the weekend and credit to our Jordy Decentre who
flagged this last weekend he's starting forward a lot more um really in the percentages are in his
failure yeah probably gonna get dpv yeah so yeah that's the one he's in your waver right now or if like
the coach he owns him isn't paying attention they might want to sell high on him on a half
hundred and seven points or something like that as well um yeah definitely want to be paying
attention to because when he gets that four status it's gonna be pretty handy I think and he won't be
he won't be midfield all the time but there will be injuries there will be players rested there
will be bits and pieces going deep leagues were forward options are very limited yeah no 70s
guys great yeah 100% yeah and he's gonna be that guy I think he's had 70s most weeks this year so I
think he's averaging around that mark maybe even so high 70s 75ish um jace burgoin 100 points on the
weekend I want to hear your thoughts on him because like he does seem to be the fans you type but is
he a damaging player that port would want to keep rolling out what are your thoughts on I'm up to bid on
was it Luke Dan Kerver sir yeah but jace burgoin yeah has my attention he's three of his last four
scores have been excellent I know he had one bad game in the mix of that but showed out of things the
two wing spots were kind of up for grabs in the absences avia doors more heading into this year Travis
broke pretty much had one and then burgoin's kind of nabbed the other and miles burgoin kind of floats
through yeah what we traditionally as seeing is um when jace has the outside wing and burgoin's
on the broadcast side burgoin will float back to play the half back roll and jace is more of the
attacker yeah so which means he he gets that outside ball out of stoppage he's kicking inside 50 and
he's taking marks in open territory like he just runs a lot yeah um gives me a little bit of kind of
Clayton Oliver vibes in he just finds little pockets to take a little 45 mark yeah contested moves
the ball yeah he's very much the connector yeah I really like him because he's so young I think he's
20 and yeah um the potential is so high for this guy that he's shown us he's sealing very early yeah
it's probably not going to be there every single week but if we're getting 70 plus from this guy
right now you'd want to invest I think the biggest issue is we're going to see probably mid only
next season yeah which makes him a little bit less desirable but depends what happens with
the half backs and things like that but yeah that's the only flag mid only who's averaging 70 80
could be like a Xavier Dursma and and you never really want to commit to that correct and yeah
committed to Xavier Dursma for far too long that's for sure um came farrell 93 points he's always
close to uh to give the podcast he's just taking a big step up in the kick-ins uh this year it seems
like because he does have that super boot they kind of give him the reins and especially on a wet
weather gag very accurate when he goes along that's one of boot of forward so he seems to take them all
at the moment um for the hawks not a lot to talk about I guess we talk about hard week but he's
technically too good for the podcast but and again he's role is just a little bit hard to judge well
the guy he owns in L.A. didn't play in this week um just because of what he's been done the last few
weeks and then goes forward kicks five we think going forward against port adlight and again that was
supposed to get smashed he shouldn't have scored what he did so the one thing I will say is like I
back him in every time he's got a set shot he's going amazing kick so that's the other thing he's
coming back like yeah stays forward which you know probably does hurt his scoring I know he kicked
five and had a really big score but that's not happening every week no for sure but there will be
games where he kicks backs that's okay um massimo damn brosio had 92 points plan on the wing like his
good scores a few and five between you probably want him on that half back line where players like
aim on a scoring okay type thing but he's just not getting it but I think with some like damn
brosio he's yeah just gonna be on that wings his scoring is gonna fluctuate I think it does help
aim on because I think when he was out or getting subbed out I'm gonna move up to the wing and just
be a bit nothing the issue with the hawks right now is from a fantasy perspective actually don't
think it's an issue on field they've dropped that slowball movement so that was why we were getting
so many high scores from that and so far the yeah the aim on that they're they're really aggressive
now yeah their pressure around the ball is electric which is exactly why port adlight capitulated
early on yeah they're happy to kind of transition with a bit of dare so that probably hurts their
scoring a little bit but it makes them funer to watch do you agree with the cancorns that's our
same mature was the best coach in the competition I don't know about best coach in the competition
clearly hasn't been watching a lot of Sydney but I do think he doesn't get as much credit as he
kind of deserves to be sure like if you look at the record since he's come on board they haven't
really fallen away yeah and arguably the way that they're they're looking and the wins they've
already had they will improve this season and probably reach you know seven to eight victories
yeah and he's done it with like being pretty aggressive in terms of the rebuild getting ridden from
senior players stuff like that as well so yeah yeah I think they haven't totally bottomed out which they
should have yeah he's done pretty well to turn that list around pretty quickly again you probably
should do bottom out with tazi coming in but anyway just stuck up on this draft fix but whatever
onto the west coast versus Melbourne game a bit of a bit of a shock here feel for the Melbourne
supporters I mentioned the port cause like I'll put out later put off this amazing highest and now
they're they're going to be a game outside the four yeah no just assumed Melbourne would win yeah
it just didn't happen yeah well no I don't think that's an unfair call though like I think most
nine and a half percent of people out there thought that would have happened but which means
port went from ninth to fourth in purely off west coast performance yeah 100% we had a bit of a
joke waterman saga a few weeks ago three weeks ago we said don't read into his form now he's going to win
the common he's gonna get close he's already took off the podcast but I don't know the European
is do you think he'd be a sell high candidate how do you think he's going to go in future years or do
you seem being like a kerno type forward that can average 80 plus most west is they've been yeah very
impressed with how he's come along obviously it's happened on the field and we can see that but by
unclosed doors yeah the work that he's been putting in the confidence he's now got yeah he's
probably the next jack darling so the plan obviously is Oscar Allen will come back and then you got
your twin towers back up there for west coast once again and yeah Kennedy darling now being waterman
and Alan so the next question is when another big body like Oscar gets in there as they go with those
leading lanes do they get in each other's path is he going to be the primary target probably not
which means he's not going to have that massive ceiling of five six goals regularly like I did the
man the numbers today in the build up to Adelaide west coast on Sunday that I think he's kicked
more so his career best total in a season he's kicked more than that in the last five weeks
yeah he said something like 28 goals in five games it's in same what he's been able to do it's just not
it's just not reliable yeah like you can't keep doing that at some point it's got to come back down
and that'll probably when Oscar returns so would you be selling high on him if you owned him
it would you be backing him in again it totally depends on your league so if you quite deep with
forwards and then you know options are limited just hold because he's a he's a good forward
and he's still going to be a 70 plus guy if there's other players around anything you can get something
good yeah sell high because I don't see him be a hundred sky like we've been seeing this past month
he's a type of player I could see like him being like an extra like people keep maybe their five
four is not expecting someone like him to be in their top five so they do have a fifth float around
and stuff like that so you might be able to you know trade him out from these he's a better option
than max king I'll say that and that's not from a potential on field like a king will obviously be
a great forward yeah yeah but from a fantasy perspective waterman just finds more of the footies
better contested so yeah yeah I like him again I played max king two weeks before this two weeks
in a row thinking he'd beat up hand it looked good in North Melbourne and stuff like that and uh
was lucky to put up a 50 most of the time yeah yeah that's the thing um and yes thank you
would I just a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a rebel yeah absolutely uh jack darling was the
other one you mentioned in there here down 11 points kick three goals just a tip of the cap
just has to kick goals score and it's just not gonna happen as regularly although west coast
maybe over in the west they might be you know putting up some more consistent performances going
forward wait and see Jamie creeps is the other one 105 points like this is best score of the year
but he's been serviceable year like a lot of those 70 types of scores could do worse do you think
like some like petracelli being out just helps him just eat up a few more points in that four line or
yeah 32 year old as well so like he's he's nearing the end of his career so yeah almost a senior leader
I can't see anyone taking his spot which is handy like yeah even if you look at the performance on
sunday um the bottom end of west coast 23 had a lot of guys that didn't do a lot so yeah um there's
the you know Jamie creeps is still gonna be that senior player that will get a lot of the footy purely
because he's trustworthy and can direct traffic so yeah yeah I don't mind him as a little option
for a one-year punt but yeah keep a perspective I wouldn't worry about him yeah not a future option
but yeah he might be a handy for though you know just to trade in for depth for those teams that are
contending um Brady Hoff though speaking the players that would be good for the future 93 points
is just good to see him put up a good score plays the right role for fantasy I wasn't really sure why
like he scored so well probably just the game suited him the match up whatever because he's got
really good 40 smarts as well yeah the issue I guess when we saw him even when he started was
just getting a bit more mass on him so it was really more competitive because he does get smashed in
can contest a defensive one-on-one last week he went out injured or almost got yes obviously a
special heavy but yet from a footy perspective he knows what he's doing where to be around the
ground and and how to find a lot of the ball yeah so that that's the next natural step is to just
get a bigger body if someone like yo does move on that probably clears a path for duggin in the midfield
a lot more yeah and then he could be you know the main guy across that path bank as well um
highly read I just want to touch on this only the 79 points but people say he's gonna be super
coach only but my goodness the quality is there I think I think he just needs to lift the volume of
touches he gets and being a first-year player that's gonna go up like it's a it's a funny one because
I sound like a broken record but everyone always referred to him as the next dust and mime yeah and
I was like no he's own player you know he's still very damaging around stoppage and break away but
it's not just the fend-offs I get that's a mirror image of dusty but it's got some of those roles
it's just how damaging he is out of the middle and the ability to hit the scoreboard yeah he has all
the makings of what we saw in Dustin Martin which is a guy that at his best from a fantasy perspective
was a hundred averaging players so like Harley Reid will get there and get there quickly and
he's gonna have the odd game where he doesn't have as many touches as he touched on because he's more
like 20 touches three goals yeah but um there's gonna be games yeah where he has 30 and he he leads
the way for West Coast and it's gonna happen very quickly there was all this talk earlier on
on the season um who do I take with my first pick is a read is a mccurcher is a sanders and like
if you got any of those guys right now you'd be super happy I think there's no problem and they're all
so good in their own right yeah mcurched that half-back role is yes so fruitful for points but he
will eventually rotate through the middle be like she's a contested beast so his tackling is gonna be
great and he's a very high disposal winner could be like Harley Reid's deal thought yeah Harley
Reid's the every man yeah can he can be anything on any given day yep so yeah now you'd be happy with
any of those so I'm hoping some of those people that were so worried about their first round picture
at ease now the other ones Alex Neil bull and um 86 points on the weekend keep the goal but he's
moved into the midfield a lot more recently I didn't check up on his numbers I meant to they I remember
last week he had a huge number because Petraka went forward and I think in this game as well he
spent some more time in the midfield two 27% I reckon yeah so a bit less on the on the 52 the
Centiode last week but still that's his second highest attended game in the midfield for the season so
just another one to to look at if people coaches aren't paying attention you might be able to
get a sneaky trade in there all over the shop aren't they like they don't know what the
Petraka forward role like they kind of need it because that forward line isn't functioning without
him yeah be right it's opened up opportunities in the midfield but they're not as imposing as they
used to be there yeah like Neil bull and Skrad as the outside run and penetrating kick into the 50
but yeah you'd want Christian in there yeah the thing is like two weeks ago like I thought Melbourne had
no issues like they're looking prime and it's just how things can flip so quickly and it's the same
deal for fans he plays as well like Petraka probably goes back into the midfield next week and
Neil bull and goes forward again and you know everything goes back to normal say the weird one the
game over the weekend was Thomas Barrow so like he's consistently been almost the fourth guy in
yeah and didn't see a single cent about on the weekend yeah probably is wide Neil bull and
got to go Salem came back as well and he saw some yeah so that was a weird one that for a young guy who
pretty much had played the Clayton Oval role for a long period of last year yeah just to be
ceremonially dumped yeah out of the blue because a superstar came back who usually plays in the back
one yeah I don't really know what happened there yeah well that happened earlier on the season then
Barrow was missing out so it's just so strange so yeah they I think they're just trying everything at
the moment and just trying to find their best mix for the you know coming forward just aside that
played in a grand final and won a premiership a few years ago like just really lost and you speak
about like the lack of forward options for them but they didn't have any in that that season they
won the flag either so I'm barely Fritch was there Matt go to go exactly just like the smaller tall
yeah like I understand opposition teams now pay more attention to players like him but yeah you
just got to figure it out and I don't know that's probably why I'm not in a good grand was never the answer
yeah never never the answer um that's uh for the round rewind just reading out the rest of the gold
members for the week thank you to Ben Straun Aiden Wedge James Un'sworth Matt turkish pull done
Craig Middleditch Tim McCauliffe Jesse Stratch Sam Cullen WG Charlie Low Rahul base Samuel Walker
Adrian Street Doe Young and Daniel O Brian all right we've got about 10 minutes to go so we'll
push through the questions didn't get any questions this week so it should be over pretty quickly
but um first question comes from Perex what are your thoughts on God himself patty down
trot 50 something points in the first half and then less than 10 in the second we have a lot of
new listeners this year so um a lot of people coming over from Tik Tok and stuff like that so if you've
never checked out the patty down song before um do yourself a favor at some of DOS's finest work
almost a cult figure amongst the fantasy community isn't he oh from that video definitely
what are your thoughts on patty do a dour and is like midfield you know um potential at st.
kilter what do you think i'm not totally sold like yeah we'll give him some leeway in the sense that
he's been playing a lot of vfl 40 and finally gets a send you go and you're right yet you know
50 something points in the first half is excellent and faded away probably conditioning but um
the issue with the st. is that Brad Krauch is coming back soon they're really not sold on their
midfield mix which is hurting them over this past month yeah that's the reason they're chasing
look davis uniacus jack stealers they're only kind of good mid and wind huggers coming along to an
extent but still very young so like dour will get opportunities this year but Krauch will be back
by the time the buys get going and then um he probably drops down to interchange or sub and
we're back to the patty dour we know and love yeah exactly um but he's i will say his first half did
look buddy good so i was getting pretty excited there for a while but i think it just coincides with
the like the the st. kieldeside as well i just they fell away and you know places feel opposed
another one that yeah um bros just hasn't given the keys to and at some point needs to give him a
goal or he's gonna leave yeah he still hasn't signed on and south is trailian boy you know people will
come asking absolutely so yeah interesting one but uh yeah i think it's a wait and see with patty dour
as it always is um Ben Blake asks and you're the perfect perfect person for this one being a
richman supporter is jade and short finish what's going on with him what perfect person because i
own him as well i thought him into ex-go thinking gee this guy is underpriced and he has been miserable
yeah um it's not even so much the lack of kick-ins but he just used to it's an it's an attitude thing
yeah richman are just doing poorly and the ball is coming in that defense hot all the time um he
should be at least be able to get some marks in plus sixes across the half-backline coming out of
what is usually a behind um but yeah there's just no run from him yeah it doesn't seem to be eager to
try and force any sort of ball he's not used to been down and out like when he kind of broke into the
side like richman wore just on the up you know it was just after kind of basher hoolly uh there was
some talk as well after the game on the weekend that the senior leaders of the tigers are a bit unsure
what the ball movement plan actually is under uzae which is very worrying yeah that is why the
coaching staff need to clarify what the game plan actually is so maybe there's a bit of that
that this they just don't know where to be positionally yeah and there's a lot of kids out there still
fresh but short yeah i just kind of thought um a guy that's usually reliable for an 80 plus to get
him in at a basement price um he just hasn't backed it up he's gotten worse as an owner are you holding
or are you looking to offload get what you can next in this week yeah that's a pretty easy move what
about like keep a leagues and stuff like that where you're probably not gonna get that sort of do i've
got him in my keep a league in the afl fantasy and yeah he he still starts because i think the
potential to to have a high ceiling game is still there yeah it's just is gonna be unreliable his values
just way too low to try to play like that as well you should i'm back for in this keep a league that i'm
currently and i've got cissly nick martin nick blakey and jayden short and next best in is like
chase jones or is that quay and all it's like you've just got a he's he's still got the potential
as your fourth defender like that's you can carry that it's got to keep it yeah it depends what the
makeup of your team is but like i would i never sell low on these guys because you just always
comes back to buy yeah i'd rather just run them into the ground and watching retire on you
yeah but just use him as a loop hop yeah just play him off the bench yeah yeah then rather than
someone else reaping the rewards for it and you're not gonna get anything back anyway um jayson
mel is asking some dpp projections Travis boke we flagged earlier on in the in the um program uh
Liam henry's been playing forward a little bit more as well there's like a few players that i
gonna be handy like i'm fighting this season forward mids and offensive mids so handy because i'm
struggling to fill out my midfield line yeah but this is nothing on the wave wars all the mids have
gone but like i can throw someone like jay called well into my midfield and i've got enough 70
average kind of forward type guys or like you know um yeah chase bergoyne's another one um who will
get mid status and to throw someone like him like yeah my team is just all made up of dpp players
except for like my main three midfield really and uh yeah it's it's working well because like you
know if people are injured or whatever i'm not struggling to find players like the rest of my league
is like say yeah like i think they're worth actually used to think someone getting mid status who cares
but i think it's way more valuable this season given the dpp the mids when i think a lot of
leagues used to play um utilities as well where no one really plays utilities where you can't play
utilities anymore filling out those seven mids in every team in the a4 fantasy format it's a bit trickier
just point out the list so yeah boke mid forward archie mid forward carol mid forward jack welleams
will get rock but not worth your investment yeah the richets and bergoyne ones getting mid probably
doesn't help you but it's at least it's handy i had helped but i got bergoyne that helps me yeah um
and then ainsworth's gonna get mid forward as well so it's not he's playing a lot with the biggest
headline there otherwise yeah richets and bergoyne handy but doesn't from a classic perspective i guess
you're not chasing those guys in a field it's not gonna be like a big um you know you know
the effective one like the last lot was i think we've got most of the big ones out of the way
and we're just trying out for more forwards and it just hasn't yeah no definitely um and the
last ones are ryan mils are mich owen's worth keeping is this look at some of these numbers he showed
some glimpses on the weekend i think two goals early on in the game and then you just see this young
player who's such a unique type of player as well like can be it could be a key forward they use
him as a rockman sometimes like which is crazy but i think long term he needs to be an inside mid
filter and it's just it's just biting his time until he's at that level like what is he 30 years
got a catch of crypts kind of sized to him one ninety three exactly 90 kilos so you know put
him a little bit more mass and he could be around the mark but yeah he he's dropped off a little
bit in terms of his fanny fantasy um early in the year he wasn't hitting the scoreboard as comfortably
and he's just sposed the numbers are slightly down so and say qdder just worse off like that's the
thing right and a lot of us just to do with the form of the team as well so yeah i'm not sure about
Mitch again it it totally depends on your situation i think if you're in a smaller um
draft or keeper league then you can probably afford to let him go yeah it's depth um you know quite
deep just hold depends where your team situated like in a dynasty league i've got him and i want
to add a last three flags and it's probably time i start the rebuild and i'm holding on to him no
worries like i'm happy with that sort of stuff if you're in a shallower league like again if you're
a contender maybe someone you drop if you are down the bottom someone worth keeping i think it
all just pans on the situation when he's so exactly yeah potentially yeah and like could be anything
literally could be anything um all right that'll do that's coming right up to the hour mark now
so perfect timing uh thank you so much for it been trying to get you in the studio for what
four five six weeks to listen to and you because i um if you've got the flu three last four weeks
for some reason so um it's just that time of a year i think now i was actually i've said to you
how like remarkable was he actually got through the game last weekend the draw right um was when
i picked it up yeah he'd literally got a head cold in the same notice in that game you just went
missing for a big chunk of it and i was actually thinking like he's not really doing my deal
i was going to go back and listen to that sure it's sound at okay on air basically every time i
turn my mic off i go have a piece of sneeze or something i didn't notice you were probably doing a
little bit less than you'd usually do so all good nice good to get you in here and uh yeah
