Alright, Im gunna keep the other post open for pre-game discussions for the upcoming games, but Ill keep this post updated with the totals scored for each player.

First thing I want to qualify though is that Im going to solely use DreamTeam scores here- something seemed a little off with how the SuperCoach scores were calculated and I dont think that using them will completely translate well towards using in comparison with a full game. Maybe the "end-of-game" pressure stats weighted things in a funny way?

So anyways, lets take a look at the games and see what we can see.

- First thing to note here is that the game that Symes, reilly and Thompson all player in was the Port game- in which they absolutely dominated.
- Dangerfield looked bloody good and will need to be watched closely through the off-season. Could he breakout this year as he promised he would last year?
- Otten got a lot of his points in the first game and looked good enough to make a lot of peoples teams. Particularly at his price!
- Callinan started slowly, but scored a 39 in the second game. Thats the kind of numbers that will get him noticed! Hes to hoping he gets off the rookie list!
- Tambling still didnt look comfortable, even with the change of scenery. Still gunna keep an eye on him, but Im not liking his odds to make the squad!
- Shaun McKernan is now officially on the radar. He dominated in the first game, though the second wasnt so good. Considering the rookie price and D/F eligibility though- hes looking very viable.
- Kurt Tippett really didnt do a lot- But honestly, I wouldnt take too much out of it.
- Brodie Smith looked damn good for a first hitout. He was the Crows first round pick this year so it shouldnt be too suprising. Played through the middle and is definitely one to keep an eye on!

- First word. Jack Grimes. Ol Grimey. Looked fantastic! If you want to take the bet on him playing more than half a season- GET ON!
- Davey looked to be in some top form, could be worth keeping eye on him as he should improve this year with Melbourne improving.
- Brad Green looked great in the first game, getting a bit of time through the middle. Slowed down a bit in the second, but if he can play that role through the season- should be a decent pickup up forward.
- Jack Watts looked pretty damn good.
- Strauss was a fair flop. He was minding motlop in the second game, which isnt a role thats conducive with big points!
- Tom McNamara scored himself a massive -11 SC, awwww...
- The Jurrahcane looked great, but it sounds like he might be rested for the rest of the pre-season.

- I mentioned in my pre-review that Port didnt have a lot of options. Sadly, I dont think I was overly off with them getting fairly well routed.
- Redden looked alright, but I reckon hes still a fair ways out of making the main squad.
- Jasper Pittard is on the watchlist now, he did a pretty decent job in both games- but with the competition in the mid-rookies, hes gunna have to do more than he did
- Danyle Pearce did a lot in the second game- but hes going to need to bring some consistancy to has game before he gets a lookin.
- Marlon Motlop while on a few watchlists didnt do a lot.
