Frustratingly long round. I think if we have rounds structured over two again, then it might be a good idea to have more than one match scheduled, three or four would be ideal.
Good win by Carlton last night, Richmond disappointing. Murphy was brilliant, Kreuzer, Delidio good. Ellis & Morris solid enough on debut. Many popular rookie selections have been selected in teams which is great news for us fantasy coaches. I’m 2 for 2 so far tipping wise how about you?
For those that are interseted I’m tipping Collingwood/Melbourne/Adelaide/North/Fremantle/West Coast & St.Kilda. Feel free to list your tips, thoughts, late changes, subs & rumours in the comment thread below.
