Who are you looking at closely in tonight's games at Footy Park? For me I am interested in how Knights and Callinan go for the Crows. For Port, I will be watching Marlon Motlop very closely -rumoured to be playing on the half back flank taking over the role from Krakouer. As for the Dees, I am keen on Tapscott this year and also want to see if the rumours of Grimes playing in the midfield are true? However, it is pelting down with rain here in Adelaide at the moment, so I don't think we will be able to take too much out of the games tonight. Looks like the rain is set in for the rest day.
Hoping Port make it through as they have the late bye in season proper and it'd be nice to unearth a couple of potential cows. Melbourne are interesting as most are expecting them to rise up the ladder, snagging some additional SuperCoach points along the way... but who will get them?
I think even if rain is there, no matter what there is still value in seeing how teams structure up. As Steve said less on the points side and more on the whether x/y is playing in the midfield. Is Stiffy on the park? If so, how he patrols in defence will be interesting. Surely he won't be thrown back forward like he was when he started. I agree stowie, Port rookies will be very important which made the glandular fever for Jacobs so much more painful.
Keen to see how S. Jacobs goes rucking for the new club. And to see where Redden fits into Port, if he's playing at all. Will fan footy still publish DT and SC scores? I'm assuming so, and so how are we going to interpret them? Anyone have any ideas? Just doubling them can't be that accurate.
Welcome back Steve. My watchlist: Talia, Otten, B. Smith, Callinan, Trengove (PA), Butcher, Pettigrew. Was hoping to get a look at Jeremy Howe from Melb., but not to be.
I have been around Terry, just concentrating on the NBA fantasy at the moment. I will have a look at the games tonight on Fox though. Can't be bothered paying $25 to watch a practice game. Hopefully we can knock off the Crows in the second game. Lets hope Butcher shows a few good signs. Hopefully Redden and Bass will show a bit. Bass is a man mountain who has only been playing footy for the last 3-4 years but he does look alright from what I have seen in the SANFL.
