6:40pm Thursday 12/05/2016
As predicted Michael Barlow is out. Cyril Rioli is also out (more for those Elite players). Sam Mitchel, Taylor Adams, Sam Gray are big DT relevant players back in, and saving massive carnage for some. Toby Greene continues to troll people being out for soreness, and Daniel Wells confirmed out with injury.
Lincoln McCarthy, Kieran Lovell, Daniel Currie, Jason Castagna, Dean Kent, Marcus Adams, all rookie players that are out.
It appears new rookies have dried up a bit as well with not as many cheap options going around this week (Depending on Sunday extended benches).
Rd8 teams released shortly on https://t.co/IBZE862aY1 & club sites.
32 changes to Fri / Sat teams.
Five confirmed outs for Sunday squads.

5:30pm Thursday 12/05/2016
AFL Teams for round 8 are about to be named. Rumours already buzzing with Michael Barlow reported to not be on the flight to Tassie. Reports are also that his is DROPPED not rested, big issues. Taylor Adams is still touch and go, but rookie ruck Dan Currie is out as well as Daniel Wells. POD Shaun Higgins is confirmed out injured for 3 months. Jonathan Simpkin is the first veteran bombers topup player to get injured, and it could be it for him for the rest of his contract. Also reported Marcus Adams is out with a finger injury, and Matt Rosa out with hamstring injury.
Tim Mohr (Def. $125,000 AF $168,100 DT) will play his first game since 2014, could be a solid def rookie priced option, although usually plays key defence. Put on watch list. Also Travis is IN for collingwood…. Varcoe, not Cloke…
Oh yeah Tom Rockliff is out, but we all know that right?

Jimmy Bartel (Def/Mid. $457,000 be 55 AF $ 488,500 be 42 DT) as a fallen premium, has had 121 and 111 in consecutive weeks. Is he back to his inform best? With a low BE this is a good week to grab him.

Shags’ Watchlist
Aaron Mullett (Def. $177,000 AF $207,200 DT) isnt a rookie, but he is rookie priced. He was a late inclusion last week and scored a handy 68. North play bombers this week, and with the likes of Higgins out for awhile, his JS could be shored up a bit.

Shags’ Watchlist
Who could have imagined that Jordan Lewis (Mid. $484,000 be 103 AF $ 483,800 be 96 DT) could be so cheap, dropping a whopping $-129,000 in AF and $-158,100 in DT. He is cheap for a reason with scores like 60, 59, 58. But he has also scored 134, 110, 111 and 117. If you are backing him in to NOT spud as much, this is the week to grab him.

Shags’ Watchlist
Darcy MacPherson (Mid. $146,000 AF be -8, $105,800 DT) looks like the best (and almost only) downgrade option in AF this week with a solid 73. Hopefully he keeps his spot for a few more weeks.

Shags’ Watchlist
Dayne Beams (Mid. $565,000 be 108 AF $ 597,100 DT) did enough in my opinion in his first outing back for lions with a 106, coming back from injury and with Rocky out for a bit, surely he can only improve this week. Conservative types might want to wait one more week as his BE is on the high side.

Shags’ Watchlist
Jarrad McVeigh (Def. $460,000 be 87 AF $ 495,500 be 87 DT) is another one in the fallen premium category. Has he gotten over his injury concerns and will bust out more tonnes? or is that the outlier and the scores earlier of 77, 57, 78 a better indication? He is cheap, and the advantage of being a defender where there arent as many consistent choices anyway (especially RDT). Could be worth a punt at his current price.
