This year the donors have elected to take a more aggressive path, we won't die trying! Unfortunately we need it, as we gave away a lot after round one, so have to make everything count from here on out.



In round two we scored 2128 points, placing us at a lowly 56,996 for the round, and 52,078 overall.



We made two trades leading into round 2 - getting rid of Vlastuin and Patton, and bringing in Heath and JJ Kennedy. Our two ins scored 85 and 103 points, while the outs only got 79 - so we were already infront based on that alone. The rest of the team went something like this:



Gibbs 86
Heppell 149
Goddard 129
Pittard 91
Heath 85
Watts 53



Pendlebury 121 (C)
Ablett 99 (V)
Cotchin 119
Goodes 98
Wines 51
Dangerfield 107
Viney 49
Crouch 85



Cox 118
Roughead 89



Rockliff 109
Kennedy 103
Franklin 116
Zorko 79
Varcoe 63
Karnezis 8






Stevenson 93
Terlich 56
O'Meara 120
Mitchell 15
Rowe 65
Currie 0
Neade 86
Macaffer 60



Down back we've made the mistake of selecting Watts, whose miserly 53 was well less than Stevenson's 93, which cost us a potential 40 points, and may have cost Watts his position in our side (along with many others I assume!)



In the mids we went with the captains loophole setup of picking Ablett as VC and having seen his 99, decided to stick with our captain of Pendlebury. His 121 was a good captains game, although if we had the <insert> to select Heppell as captain we could have picked up an extra 28 points. We also made the mistake of many a coach, fielding Viney over O'Meara, which cost us a further 71 points.</insert>



Our rucks were alright, although it looks like Roughie's change of role and lesser rucking duties are hurting his scoring, but it was nice to see Rowe get a decent rookie score, lining himself up for some price rises in a few weeks.



Our forward line saw the disaster of Karnezis and his 8 points! Although we'd probably never select him, picking Neade over Karnezis would have made us an extra 78 points.



So, all up in round 2 we were quitedisappointing, and with a potential 217 points gone missing, we've gone lots of room for improvement.



Now join us in the donors forum, where we'll make all the big decisions on who we want in and out before the prices start to change.
