BEWARE OF…
Lachie Whitfield – was tagged by James Jordon three times last year to scores of 94, 108 and 48.
Chad Warner – he could be targeted by Bedford this week, unless he goes to Heeney.
Tom De Koning – no ruckman has hit 100 against Reilly O’Brien this year, where Xerri 77and Marshall 64 have failed.
George Hewett – he’s been so good, but the Crows have only given up 3×110+ scores to MIDs this year.
Bailey Smith – over the last three weeks, the highest scoring midfielder against the Pies was Merrett (106).

I’m captaining or vicing Daicos, who’s the next best option out of rozee dawson ash
dawson safest
Zorko would be better
someone please help do i take merretts 117 or go gawn
i had merret viced aswell, go gawn
Take 117, not worth chasing more, if Gawn gets 130 its only 13 extra points not worth the risk
I had the same dilemma. I captained Gawn and glad I did. Always follow your own gut instincts.
why did everyone negative my comment when i said go gawn and he got 158?
do i go brayshaw vc and into daicos?
Are we taking Xerri’s 121 – me thinks so.
easily
Yep, so many people chase more and it often fails
You take a 121 every day of the week.
