Lefty’s Investments – Round 8

Welcome to Lefty’s In-Vestments for round 8, where I will have a crack at picking the dreaded green vests for each weeks games. Fresh from being away from my honeymoon, I am now back at work (and am actually away on a work conference this week so apologies for the shortened article). I apologise for the lack of an article last week, an all day tour in Singapore left me no time to try and cobble anything together.  Next week all will be back to normal and I will do a bit of a summary on each clubs green subs so far and see if any patterns are emerging.

Like every Thursday night I have assessed the team line ups, look at the last green vests for each team, and try and work out the most likely starting sub candidates. I will also try and outline the Sunday teams likely green vests from the squads of 25 (good bloody luck I hear you say and I agree!)

So there you have it – my views on the likely vests this round. Hope this helps you in deciding who to start on the field (or even trade in/out) but please remember this is a ‘best guess’ article and I am just presenting my views and trying to apply some logic to the likely scenarios. In other words send praise when I get it right but no sooking if I guess wrong haha!

My number one vest pick for the weekend – Eagles Brad Sheppard

Good luck – and feel free to tweet me when I get it right/wrong over the weekend!
