Little Gazz, Swallow & Harris all come off the bench for me this week and I think it might be a bit closer result than most people think up at Cararra this Saturday night...
My wife has Gazza off the bench, very excited Cats supporter who has put her first team in this year. Stuffed up the benches because they were put in early last week, so a good deal of improvement in her. Thankfully she's in a fairly weak league and has a 50-50 chance of finals.
@ Lucas Well she will make up for a few points this week with Gazz I know alot of people have jumped off him which is good. He will be a Supercoach star again he is untaggable and will have a new lease of life on the Coast without Thompson breathing down his neck...
...and without his elite Geelong midfield blocking for him and handballing to him. Don't bank on him maintaining his average - especially since he's had groin troubles over the preseason.

Despite the preseason competition being what it is, I have grave doubts on the GC's ability both to get the ball and to keep it. Gaz will obviously make a huge difference, but he can't be everywhere. I expect his average to drop 10-15 ppg simply on the fact that he'll be playing in a bottom 4 team. When was the last time a player from a bottom 4 side averaged over 115 for the season? Hint: the answer will give you a chuckle.
Don't currently have him, but have the view to bring him in after the GC's second bye if his price and performance warrant it.
