Final Thoughts
Top Vice Captain pick for the round: Clayton Oliver.
Smoky Vice Captain pick for the round: Rory Laird.
Top Captain pick for the Round: Nat Fyfe.
Smoky Captain pick for the round: Dustin Martin.
Clarry into Bont for me.
Don’t have the balls to C dusty so probably the standard clarry into Macrae for me. Someone convince me to C dusty lol
Clarry into Macrae for me. Both of the past two weeks Gawn has disappointed against weaker ruckmen, he better not put up a 150 now that I’ve decided to not back him in.
Surely Zorko is worth considering tonight for VC?
Him or Joe daniher both equally likely to be top scorers in that game
Claret into Laird at this point .. depending on how I’m travelling and what my competition are doing I could switch to either Bont or Macrae .. though Macrae doesn’t have a good record in Perth… not that history is proving to be a guide this year
Clarry .. (spell checker argh.. and the stupid edit function doesn’t work)
Lions to put a reality check into the Dees, Daniher to kick straight and go 180 plus and I’m going to have a hangover tomorrow.
I can guarantee at least 1 of these is predictions will come true.
Haha, good one Mick…it’s looking like option C
