Brander (246k DEF/FWD) apparently debuting for WCE. Bit pricier than I would have liked, but if he can string a few games together over the byes he'd be worthwhile.

Tough debut at SCG! The worry is that he is a placeholder for Darling which means likely 2-4 weeks in the side depending on how Darling is tracking

As keen as I am for some rookies to come out through I think I'll pass on a KPF at that price.

Wouldn't be going near Piggy

Ok cheers.

Don't get me wrong, can definitely see the merit in picking him - high risk high reward type player. I'm even tempted myself.

I get your point about these useless premos Coasters7 - am very much in that boat with some players as well (Seeds, Parker to name a few). For me, I never expected Seeds to be a keeper and am just happy with him getting me through to about now and making some dosh. It would worry me though, that like Seeds, Wingard is that type of player coming into your team where you'll likely have to upgrade him down the track. I could very well be wrong though and he could pump out some epic scores if he keeps that midfield role.

samFFC where do you find the stats on Wingard's scoring at AO?

Here are Wingards AO games to date (not including his 120 odd on the weekend). @DFSAustralia on twitter upload a free spreadsheet each week which has data on every player at every ground vs every opposition, great stuff.

McLean VC

Yeah Crae non-owners will go McLean VC. Pretty good option actually as he has shown he can match Crae but just less consistent. If that doesn’t work out though, Titch C against the crows at the G is a good backup plan! The Pig will be fresh of the bye and eager to get the ball in his hands again.

Edit: just saw that last year Titch also played adelaide after his bye. This was at adelaide oval though. He scored 117 but needed a big 50 point last quarter. Hope he takes less time to get into it this week! Adelaide are a much weaker team than last year tough and this week it is at the G, where Titch is amazing.

Scraping the barrel to get 18 would you do it?

Pretty impressive numbers. Makes me wonder why he had the drop off in scoring earlier in the year - less marks and less disposals, presumably when Gray was playing predominately mid

 

[Lawbreakers]

Sounds like we are a bit above par with our premo numbers, but at least 2 of them a round will score well below what they should. Hopefully the stars align this week and they all hit their averages.

Sounds like a pretty good number to push. I will be there abouts with 13-14 premos depending on Lairds inclusion.

Will have
Laird, Simpson, Lloyd
McRae, Titch, Rocky, Fyfe, Gibbs, Curnow.
Sauce
Heeney, McLean, Hoff, Sic,

Would be the only scenario I'd entertain it. Would be great if there's a few suprise debut's this weekend. Don't expect much more than 50 though

 

[Coasters7]

Any chance that the Marshall and Thomas inclusions up forward swing Gray back to the middle? Or am I clutching at straws a bit haha

 

[TedDougChris]

Just for those considering Port players, just remember they are playing the Dogs, who (apart from a few) don’t run, chase, tackle or man up..... Sadly...

 

[TedDougChris]

Watts, Neade and Jonas out for Port.
Marshall, Thomas, Hombsch in.

From the AFL website.

Then have -

Melbourne at AO
Carlton away
Saints at AO
Freo away
Giants at AO
Dogs away

Think I just talked myself into Wingard

 

[DustyTiggers]

Sweating on teams. Would love a nice 170K Patrick Wilson to get the nod, and laird, darcy cameron and dusty to play. Pretty sure dusty is in. If most swing my way, I can go Simpson and Burton in to the back line.

Wishful thinking. All of their outs/ins are like for like

sounds like the Dragons on sunday...

Thomas is absolute garbage, how does he continue to get a game

Quick back of the envelope average based on his career stats is around 90 ppg at AO, and around 78 ppg overall for his career.

Last season fantasy stats:
https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pg-port-adelaide-power--chad-wingard?year=2017&fantasy=y
AO games: R2 (70), R3 (59), R5 (122), R7 (132), R13 (98), R15 (141), R17 (136), R21 (121), R23 (89) = 108 average
non-AO games: R1 (90), R4 (55), R6 (85), R8 (98), R12 (71), R14 (86), R16 (66), R18 (58), R22 (83) = 77 average

 

[samFFC]

Cant see Austin being dropped. How bad was Nathan Browns concussion? Carslile may come in for brown. Gets tricky after the bye trying to fit Austin, Rice, Brown, Carlisle, Coffield, Webster, Savage and Geary back there.

But if Brown isn't out then Austin might be out. Does he become a trade out?

Amazing thanks for that! Could've saved me the work by hand above haha!

Yeah Wilson good chance. Laird dunno, Dusty in. Cameron no chance given Sinclair's form.
