I've chosen to honor Meat Loaf this week because even though we have two trades this week, we always seem to have three problems to fix and that's being kind. The backline rookie situation is dire but MacPherson to the rescue. But with Rankine seemingly a trade for all of Australia, dare you do the double downgrade to fit the Crow in?
In the mids it's looking good with Stephens and Day looking handy. Recent news out of Sydney shows that Heeney and JPK are cooked so young Swans could be the G.O. in the mids. Up forward everyone who doesn't have Rankine will probably bring him in. There are a plethora of forwards who look to be pretty close to maxed out with the injured Taylor, Sturt, Brander or the non-injured King maybe in the frame.
There are a few underperformers on the table as well. Up forward where to start. Dusty Martin, Connoer Rosey, Devon Smith, MacPherson....getting regular scorers in this line this season has been tough. Even reliable saint Dan Butler put in a stinker last week. In the backline not only are wondering what has happened to Adelaide we are also wondering wtf has happened to Laird. As ordinary as he has been though, it is nothing compared to Shannon Hurn's remarkable disappearing act.
So two trades, but only three problems? Sing it again Meat........Round 7 at here boyos....
