I don't know exactly how well Fog will do, but I do know this. He'll score much better than Drew Hutchison

See above mate I’m now agreeing with you and am concerned about Hutcho didn’t realise the Dogs  draw I know factoring draw in isn’t usually great but I think I have to consider it here. Ciraldo under pressure to get early results too.

Rabbits21 wrote:
Look at the Dogs draw first 7 weeks very hard if they’re not winning Hutcho could be dropped quickly. I don’t see them winning many games with that draw. Dollars might be crucial so I might pivot back to Flanagan Dragons draw isn’t too bad to start and Flanno I reckon better job security.

Ciraldo probably knows the draw is tough too and isn't expecting a bunch of wins. New halves combo and a few recruits can take time to gel.

Hutch might kick the piss out of the ball due to being stuck in their own half a lot.

Taaffe first to be dropped.

It’s a results given business as you know if they’re 0 and 3 or 1 and 3 after 4 weeks he will make changes he will have too to make it look like he’s doing something.

Ciraldo bought him because he saw how Sammy Walker played when he was allowed the freedom Hutch gave him. This is also evidenced in Walker's Fantasy averages with Hutch as a halves partner, but most importantly a very obvious eye test. We won a heap of games with Hutch and Walker. I couldn't be bothered calculating averages (it's not as simple as Sam Walker starting with/without hutch due to the itnerchange role Hutch played) but just looking at the numbers it's obvious. I see Burton as a similar enough player to Walker in terms of general playstyle.

Thumbs Down: Grant and Levi and $3k itb

I've considered the same thing and currently on Grant and Levi.

Cheese locking sucks, but Levi might not even start, so it's a conundrum

Milchcow wrote:

I see Burton as a centre that can kick a ball real high. I'm not sure he's a half to be unlocked by Hutchison

Taafe should have been dropped already and the season hasn't even started. And Ciraldo took an age to drop the equally bad Perham. Maybe he's just not that good at this.

In this analogy is Blake Taafe James Tedesco?
