You mentioned Scott Thompson as possibly injured, can you elaborate on that monty (is it the adductor :)? I watched the crows game and enjoyed his nice 57 (so in a couple of weeks hopefully he will be around the 340k mark and easily upgradable)
I thought Ziebell was just rested because they played the cats? I rate him as the Palmer of this year with the bonus of being a forward. 7th Forward if he can maintain his scoring.
Disagree with the m brown to Sidebottom, only gets you 80k. The good think about sidey is the has only had 62% TOG and averaging 71, the bad thing is he is only getting 62% TOG. Krakouer has already ‘redeemed his season’ since he was sold for 300k a couple of weeks ago
easy upgrade to SJ, thank you krak.
Monty, loving you laying into L Brown
“Roated forward to ruck as usual and sucked in both roles… as usual”. On M Robinson, he really had a crap score against Sydney, and if you remove that, he is scoring very well. (I know if you remove everyones bad score they look better).

Great Analysis Chad! Don’t know about Thompson’s injury but I did hear Dr Larkins say that the reason for the rise in adductor injuries being reported and cause players to miss is that in the past they would get a jab and play through it, possibly with a slight change to there normal running style. This process tended to then turn in to OP and mean players missed for much longer so clubs have started to rest players to get over the injury rather then run them into the ground and have them suffer OP. A bit off topic, but might be interesting.

Good to see the new beer sponsor for the Coaches Box, Hawthorn Draft, get on board and monty getting right behind them. Everyones talking about the ‘04 vintage, but its great to see the 05 Draft coming of age and hitting the shelves. Veeeery excited about the debut of the full strength Muston.

With Krakouer out, Salopek is the perfect replacement (half back rebound) and it means Davenport should hold his spot (and be on the bubble). If Ebert doesn’t come up (in doubt) Marlon Motlop could get his chance.
