Parish a no for me at the moment.

How many Bombers do you have in your side at the moment??

 

[dabombers]

Mcgrath HB
Durham yes
Martin could play there but hasn't so far
Caldwell rotating from HF
Perkins meh
Hobbs meh, not a huge fan
Tsatas no skills just ticker, but will crack in eventually i am sure

Mcgrath HB
Top 3 in time trials and Bombers have 3 extra HB players in Saad, Archie Roberts and Jaxon Prior to go along with Redman. 3 talls down back and 3 runners.
Durham yes

Martin could play there but hasn't so far
Martin should play there one of the Bombers most dynamic players.

Caldwell rotating from HF
he is more willing to do the dirty grunt work than others, look up his increase in centre bounce attendances last 2 seasons. No longer a HF that was 3 seasons ago.

Perkins meh
His core strength and tackling skills have improved with age and he is a smart player.

Hobbs meh, not a huge fan
Still young and needs to get some time in the rotation there for the future, better sooner than too late when we need it. Same goes for below.
Tsatas no skills just ticker, but will crack in eventually i am sure


here is the one point you are right with.
Parish is 27, cant play anywhere else.
So what do you do with a one dimensional player who is holding back the development of the rest of the side. Either he learns to play wing, HB/HF and takes the drop off in midfield time or he gets a nice bright coloured vest.

It wasn’t a competition to win or lose.
Just sharing thoughts and knowledge.

I am tempted drop Oliver from side for similar reasons, if Batman (Petracca is injured) what is Robin going to do, just tag him out of the game and leave all the heavy lifting to Viney.
Or he could just Pig it up and get 35+ touches per game.
Who knows.

My best tip for a player to bounce back into top 10 Mids is Dawson.
Hopefully he has changed footy boot sponsorship as last years boots were like he was playing a game in Roman Sandles.

First attempt.
The Flex role is doing my head in - do I take a gamble on a player who I think could score big, or just tuck away a known premo? I have SPP there currently, but it will change 100 times in the coming weeks.

I have gone with a third ruck in the flex
