Ollie Hollands was good before his injury.

Arces was our lowest rated player on the ground last week.

How do they work that out?

Acres had more disposals than 14 of his teammates, more marks than 15 of his teammates, more goal assists than 15 of his teammates, more metres gained than 14 of his teammates, his disposal efficiency was better than nine of his teammates, only 11 of his teammates had more tackles, and only one of his teammates had more intercepts and rebound 50s.

Jack Ison would have to be the lowest rated player by some margin ... and I wouldn't drop him either!

Not sure how they do it, but the SEN call mentioned it about 3-4 times.    I thought his ball use without much pressure was average.

Everyone is banging about Ison but playing that role can often be all duck or no dinner.   He works hard.    Presents.    Pressures.    Wouldn't even consider dropping him.

Dean is out  (cut hand)
Lewis Young is in

It musn't be too bad if he's only going to miss one game - let's hope so!

Young has been playing very well in the Magoos and getting a call up is just reward.  He did OK in Lynch in Round 1 but it helped that Lynch couldn't hit the side of a barn with his shots at goal  ::)
I am almost happy with him missing and Lewis coming in for this one. He can hand handle Lynch I reckon.
Rich $5.75 on Sportsbet, that BS I reckon.

Ollie Florent's 200th game. He's worked himself into form quite nicely and has proven to be a good acquisition IMO.

It's a bit of a shame that Wilbur will have to wait until next week to chalk up his 200th game.  Their careers have been virtually parallel since they were drafted.

Ollie has been a good acquisition but I'd have him just behind Wilbur and Ainsworth.

Yes, it was obvious to me Pitto and Cripps both looked sub-par at times last week.
If Pitto and Cripps dont play, we are screwed.
Not sure the Tigers are knocking themselves out to win at the moment, missing a few players and they have been deplorable of late imho with some odd positional moves. Cripps missing in particular would hurt us but I think Hewett, Walsh and Jagga could cover vs the Tigers who dont have much other than Taranto who is being played forward more these past few weeks.
