Wednesday – Early news
Teamsheets have dropped! Lachie Sullivan (mid $200k) will debut for the pies, and also Dan Curtin ($279k Def/Mid) will debut for the crows. Also remarkably Rozee is named as available to play this week. However Tom Mitchell and Jordan De Goey will miss the clash with Carlton this week.
A journey that epitomises resilience.

GAME 1: Adelaide Crows vs Port Adelaide
Thursday, May 2, 7:30pm AEST Adelaide Oval, Adelaide 🌦🌡

GAME 3: Sydney Swans vs GWS GIANTS
Saturday, May 4, 1:45pm AEST, SCG, Sydney 🌦🌡
Notes: Toby Greene is in and more importantly Darcy Jones and Harvey Thomas have held. Jones named on bench so could be a sub risk.

Leek Aleer (Omitted) Xavier O’Halloran (Omitted) |
GAME 4: St Kilda vs North Melbourne
Saturday, May 4, 4:35pm AEST, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne 🌦🌡
Notes: In my opinion the big news here is Will Phillips is omitted, so hopefully Powell gets back his coveted mid role. Rookies Lazzaro and Nyuon have also been dropped. The odd team has Toby Pink stuck on their def bench, hes an inclusion.
| Team | INS | OUTS |
|---|---|---|
| Saints | Jimmy Webster Mason Wood Max King Jack Hayes |
Zaine Cordy (Managed) Jack Higgins (Suspension) Anthony Caminiti (Omitted) Cooper Sharman (Omitted) |

GAME 7: Richmond vs Fremantle
Sunday, May 5, 1:00pm AEST, MCG, Melbourne 🌦🌡
Notes: Make sure you check sunday extended bench seections ~5pm Friday. Jayden Short is in for the tigers and unlucky Hopper is out with an injury. Maybe looking too deeply, Jye Amiss in for dockers could give Luke Jackson more time in mid? Grasping at straws.
| Team | INS | OUTS |
|---|---|---|
| Richmond | Jayden Short Steely Green Kane McAuliffe Tyler Sonsie Samson Ryan |
Jacob Hopper (Injured) Jack Graham (Injured) |
| Fremantle | Jye Amiss Ethan Hughes Neil Erasmus |

Finally Dan Curtin gets to play held onto him since day 1 hopefully he performs
What trades should I be looking at doing, have 23k in the bank
Thinking of going sanders-dale then Dempsey- Woewodin. Thoughts??
DEF: Sheezel, Whitfield, Martin, Young, Houston,Clohesy (Reid, Howes)
MID: Zerrett, Dawson, Green, Rozee, Bonner, Roberts, Graham, Sharp (Sanders, Mannagh)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
FWD: Heeney, Flanders, Caldwell, Powell,Reid, Dempsey(Ramsden, Drury)
UTIL: Cadman
Liam
I’d go Cadman to Sullivan as he’s only your utility
You best to have coverage for Rozee (if late out)
Maybe Drury?Ramsden to Curtain then Saunders forward
Good luck
Cheers mate, also Iām thinking of going Grundy- sweet
Sanders- dale or daicos. Thoughts
Sweet should make 200k in the next 4-5 weeks while soldo is out then can get him to English
For me, Sanders -> Sullivan/Jones and Dempsey -> Macrae or Sharp -> Dale/Daicos
Is Himmelberg to bring in after his 77 last week?
Seeing some horror scores out there this round. Not too many people nailing Captains either. 2k won’t be a bad score this week.
Iām going okay, 1263 with nine to come including my captain. Fingers crossed for a 2100.
Fyfe sub. Holy shitballs the carnage this round.
There goes 2100.
