Oh look who finally decided to return, both starting season popular midpricer options Matt Crouch and Milera are back in. So is Reilly O’Brien who tore it up in the seconds.

Big out with Bailey Smith due to injury. Big in with Ruck/fwd Tim English. A bit of rookie carnage with both Hugh Dixon and Luke Cleary dropped. And those who still have him, will surely have to trade Patrick Naish now as he is dropped again.
