Teams have dropped! Two debutants for crows with Hugh Greenwood (Mid/Fwd $150,000) and Jordan Gallucci (Mid/Fwd $222,000) and we get to see Shai Bolton (Mid/Fwd $194,000) debut for tiges, as well as Harry Perryman (Def/Mid $224,000) for GWS.
Ivan Soldo (Ruck $172,000) is named again for the tiges! This could influence Nankervis scoring.
Dayne Beams (Mid $581,000) is officially back. Scooter Scott Selwood (Mid $380,000) is also making a return from injury for Geelong.
Those who still have him, George Horlin-Smith has been omitted.

Weird part bye week that isn’t a Fantasy bye, with neither Port nor Suns playing this week but its top 22 as per usual, so make sure you bench or trade those Port and Suns players.
Reports are that Adam Treloar (Mid $641,000) will return from injury. Also it looks like Mitch Wallis (Mid/Fwd $482,000) will play, yet another Fantasy relevant fwd/Mid from the dogs. We also know Toby Greene (Fwd $510,000) will be back from report, as will Koby Stevens (Mid/Fwd $530,000).
Unfortunately popular rookie Harley Balic (Mid/Fwd $250,000 ) is on indefinite leave and another popular rookie Dan Butler (Fwd $291,000) will miss due to a groin injury. And we all know Rocky is out :(.

Shags’ Watchlist
Scooter Scott Selwood (Mid $380,000) has in the past at the Eagles been Fantasy relevant. Back in 2013 he averaged 107 for the season. Due mostly to injury he hasnt been able to reach thse levels at the Cats. He may never reach those levels again, but the potential is there, and hes a bargain if he gets even close. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

MILESTONES: Dane Rampe – Playing 100th game
Shags’ Watchlist
Its always interesting to see how new recruits go at their new clubs, and former Bulldog Koby Stevens (Mid/Fwd $530,000) has gone bang with his first to games at the Saints scoring 106 and 107. Would have been on my watchlist last week if not for his 1 week report. Hes playing a very Fantasy relevant role in the midfield, and with news of Armitage being out longer hes likely going to play mid again.
GWS Giants v Richmond, Spotless Stadium (4.35pm)

MILESTONES: Ivan Soldo – Played 1st game
Shags’ Watchlist
Ivan Soldo (Ruck $172,000) is a ruck rookie. He’s getting a game. If that isn’t reason enough to trade him in, it appears he is getting a game even though Nankervis is playing. If this works out, they may even keep playing him. Be wary if you are a Nankervis owner.

Shags’ Watchlist
With rookies drying up, Crows have gifted us a couple, one of which being Hugh Greenwood (Mid/Fwd $150,000). Previously a basketballer for the Perth Wildcats, he is clearly a very talented athlete.

Shags’ Watchlist
With Mason Cox playing Brodie Grundy (Ruck $579,000) averages 87. Without Cox playing he averages 115. Cox currently isnt playing, and Grundy has lost a bit of value since Cox recently played 3 games…So yeah, now is a good time to grab Grundy.
Catch is, Buckley could easily play Cox again…

Clayton Oliver (Mid $560,000) is the real deal this year. Averaging 108, those who started him at his $416,000 price would be ecstatic. He’s still value if you want to jump on.

Shags’ Watchlist
Overshadowed this year a bit by teammate Docherty, Fantasy stalwart Kade Simpson (Def/Mid $602,000) has thrown up yet again another fine season with only 1 hiccup in round 2 of 53, his ceiling is 161! Looking a definite top 6 defender this year yet again.
