Hey hey! Footy is back, and it was back with a bit of a bang with Geelong taking the biscuits with a two point win over Collingwood.



Obviously, every single team now will include Beams. Not only is he discounted, but he also top scored with 103SC from 35 touches. Lockiest lock ever.



Pendlebury came on in the First Quarter after starting in the red vest. Honestly, I was suprised to see his score. 22 touches yet still managed a 98SC. Makes me think I have to get him back in, considering how easily he does it.



Stokes top scored for the Catters with 39 touches (23 handballs) and 95SC. Speaking of tons of touches, Enright did that too, with 25 kicks and 11 handballs for a game high 128DT. Sadly, just an 86SC though. Still a solid premium defender if you're interested.



Jesse White looked good for the Pies, with 94SC to his name through 5 goals. Hawkins did much the same for the Cats, kicking 4 straight, those SC wise, rewarded with just a 71SC. Personally, both players aren't viable selections despite their good games.



Adams is going to attract a lot of mid-priced attention. Fitted right in, with 31 disposals and 90SC. As will Jamie Elliot. Played a lot higher up the ground through the game, even starting the final term in the centre square, picking up 17 touches, 9 tackles and 79SC (Cracked the ton in DT though!). Both for mine look to be excellent options for your draft games.



Sidebottom had terrible disposal. Reflected in his 117:88 DT:SC ratio I guess.



And finally, Bartel. Spent a lot of time across the forward line, looked good, but picked up just 17 touches, including 5 kicks, and 65SC. Not exactly what you want from a premium, but of course, it's just the pre-season.
