Matt Priddis is a late for game tonight. Hutchings in. Tigers no change.
Sunday Benches have been selected. We already knew Jayden Hunt (Fwd. $125,000 AF $128,200 DT) was going to debut, and this is confirmed. Unfortunately Mason Cox (Fwd/Ruck) or Darcy Tucker (Def.) didnt make it. Neither did Matthew Goodyear (Mid.) or Brent Macaffer (Mid.). Make sure you check late changes tonight before lockout for Eagles vs Tigers.

Updates
Round 4 teams have been named. Big in for the swans with premium defender Jarrad McVeigh (Def/Mid) being named (at the cost of George Hewett(Mid.)). A few sweating over Daniel Rich (Def/Mid) will be happy to see him back (But no Rocky). Josh Gibson (Def) who has been gunning it is a bit of a shock out with hamstring tightness. (We do know hawks like to rest their stars), but hawks captain Luke Hodge (mid) is back. A few had Corey Enright (Def.) as a POD who is being definitely managed.
Wait for Sunday benches to be selected tomorrow for a few new rookie options, including possibly Mason Cox (Ruck/Fwd.), and another in Darcy Tucker (Def.)
Popular fwd rookie Lincoln McCarthy (Fwd) is also omitted. Hamish Hartlett (Mid.), Chad Wingard (Fwd.) are back in for port, and Steele Sidebottom (Mid) back from suspension.

Brady Grey (Mid. $244,000 AF, $226,100 DT)
Round 4 Teams will be named ~6:15pm tonight. It was a absolute shame to watch veteran Robert Murphy (Def) go out with a serious knee injury. He was playing great football with his rejuvenated Doggies. Dees already announced a new rookie debut with Jayden Hunt (Fwd. $125,000 AF $128,200 DT). Devon Smith (Mid/Fwd) and Will Hoskin-Elliot (Fwd.) ruled out for GWS. Popular ruck bench rookie Mason Cox (Ruck/Mid. $125,000 AF $121,300 DT) has been upgraded from rookie lists, as has bomber Conor McKenna (Fwd. $210,000 AF $206,900 DT). Will they be a surprise inclusion? Christian Petracca (Fwd/Mid.) is confirmed to not play this week.
25 changes to Fri/Sat teams and 10 confirmed outs for Sunday.

It could have been simply that injuries were keeping him down and now he’s ready to be a top ruck. He’s pretty close to bottomed out if you need a new ruck, he could be on the up again!

Steele Sidebottom (Mid. $555,000 AF $ 591,300 DT) with a Pendles playing more as back should be thrust straight into the midfield. In my opinion Sidey’s Absence is one of the big reasons pies have been poor. Big chance of going huge against the dees.

Todd Goldstein (Ruck. $601,000 be 105 AF $643,700 be 146 DT ) has dropped a bit of value because of his 62, but proved again he can score huge following up with 149. He plays a Sandiless Freo this week making many believe he could go huge again. You could wait one more week (or 2 in RDT) to make sure he bottoms out.

He should also score well you would hope again against the dons. If you are a conservative trader and were waiting on a first score, now is the week to bring him in, for RDT hold 1 more week. NB: Ruggles is an awesome name for a “Cat”.

Well didnt Leigh Montagna (Mid/Fwd $608,000 AF $ 641,400 DT) prove to those that thought his age was a concern, and that he is overpriced. Indeed his price is increasing. He looks an absolute certainty at this point for top 6 fwd (If his body holds out). He is still really expensive so many will wait, and hope, he has an off game to get him in.

Was hoping Keays or Jansen would get a game and be an obvious trade in option, but alas. So, its a Captain Obvious call again. How bloody good is Aaron Hall (Mid/Fwd. $525,000 AF $516,700 DT). You gotta trade him in if for some reason you don’t already have him in your team (He won’t get any cheaper.) Put a big C on him too.

Shag’s Pick
Well, blues are where the rookies are. So going to have two picks here, one for defence and one for mid/fwd. Ciaran Byrne (Def. $145,000, -7 be AF. $144,900 DT) did enough with a 69 to be a solid def rookie trade in. Many are going Ruggles instead, however Ruggles wont play Brissy every week. Hold 1 more week in RDT A new rookie Liam Sumner (Mid/Fwd. $133,000 AF $ 128,200 DT) is in the mix. He is straight in the team after recovering from an injury, which I think is a great sign for his JS (Maybe he was always part of Blues top 22 plans). Quite a few will be looking for a mid rookie downgrade, and he seems to be a good option. Conservative types will want to see one week.
Just as a side note Daisy Thomas (Mid/Fwd. RDT $264,300) is on the bubble in RDT and looks to be a pretty good option.

Shag’s Pick
Great to see veteran Jarrad McVeigh (Def/Mid. $538,000 AF $563,500) return. Many would automatically predict him to be a top 6 defender. I’d hold off 1 week (a couple in RDT) to see his form first. Gives us another option to bolster our backlines.
