Thursday 28th April – Early news
Early news, the coach of GWS, Leon Cameron has resigned. Is this DT relevant? It might be depending on if the game strategy and player roles change, McVeigh will take over as caretaker coach next week. Coniglio and Kelly immediately come to mind.
Popular cashcows O’Driscoll, injury at least 6 weeks, and Horne-Francis, hamstring tightness, are out. Both have made their cash and can be traded. Tigers Def rookie Gibcus will miss at least 1 week because of covid protocols.
Good news though, reports indicate Gawn should play, and Hewett held up good in training this week (check teamsheets to confirm). And new rookie Luke Cleary will play for the dogs
Important times to remember:
Weekend Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Thurs 12/05/22
Sunday games Extended bench selection ~5:00pm EST Friday 13/05/2022
GAME 1: Friday May 13, Pies vs Dogs
| PIES | DOGS | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| INS | Caleb Poulter | INS | Alex Keath,Jordon Sweet,Luke Cleary,Marcus Bontempelli,Rhylee West |
| OUTS | Jack Ginnivan (Illness),Trent Bianco (Omitted) | OUTS | Cody Weightman (Injured),Hayden Crozier (Medi-Sub),Laitham Vandermeer (Injured),Roarke Smith (Omitted),Stefan Martin (Managed),Tim O’Brien (Injured) |
As already mentioned, Defender rookie Luke Cleary is a debut for the dogs. Also worth noting Buku Khamis held his spot even with Bontempelli back. We now have 2 def rookie options (Buku plays forward in real life) available, and they both have the super handy round 13 bye, with dogs injuries they could keep their spot as well.

If you were a Tom Mitchell starter, you’d be devastated with his form, and now a resting. Must trade. Already noted that Gibcus out due to covid protocols, giving rookie defender Bigoa Nyuon a run. You’d think his Job security is poor unless he plays a blinder. Pricey mid/fwd rookie Sam Butler is named for the hawks. POD Defender Nick Vlastuin is also back into the tigers line up, can he keep up his amazing form? Both Cashcows Ward and MacDonald has been managed/omitted, if you havent cashed them in already you probably need to now.

GAME 4: Saturday May 14, Saints vs Cats

| OUTS | Dan Butler (Injured),Marcus Windhager (Omitted),Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (Managed) | OUTS | Cooper Stephens (Omitted),Francis Evans (Omitted),Jed Bews (Injured) |
Windhager ruined his cashcow potential by being medi sub last week, and could possibly be medi sub again this week. Wangerneen-Milera has shown good form recently if you have him, but hes rested this week. Looks like cats rookie Stephens is in one week, and straight out for Selwood this week. A few grabbed him hoping he’d hang around for awhile… Billings is back in for saints, and could be a potential POD, but Id put him on watchlist at best for now.

Matt Crouch isnt back into the team, if you held you might have to seriously consider trading, even though he went well in the 2nds. A few teams had O’Brien as their ruck, hes just gone and added to the universal ruck carnage this season. Also rookie Soligo gets another run, he doesnt have much cashcow potential so just take notice if he plays well.

Sunday game blah balh, check Friday blah. Rookie gun Greg Clark is back on the extended bench list, you’d think he’d make the cut. Gawn is named to the relief of owners. Im personally concerned about an in game resting and low TOG%, as well as playing forward mre, although he may kick a few snags if that happens. POD Defender Witherden is back and named on field, and one of the nightclub lads Dixon is back on extended list. Id actually put money on him being emergency though.
