He’s a future franchise player and club captain, the Suns should take no chances and get the cotton wool out right now. Picture: Michael Klein For those that use excel – you can change the byes on the byes-draw tab in rnd 10 column onwards – or wait till I get it out! The rookie spud of the week unfortunately goes to Sturt, who was rarely sighted and registered donuts in the first half against Port. I know Zerrets back but, Heppell is pretty much gone for the year and, Stringer looks to be out for an extended period of time. Tom Browne reporting that Luke Jackson has injured his hamstring at training, big blow to the Dees ruck stocks Tom Doedee ruled out for the rest of the season due to a Hamstring injury! It’s safe for him on the bench because his price will go nowhere, but its highly likely the likes of Brown and Budarick will drop in price. The obvious one is generating cash for future upgrades.

There were some very handy scores posted by the freshers in Round5, I hope you caught some of them.Thanks Chillo!! Picture: Michael Klein Source: News Corp Australia. View Other Player Profiles I was the proud owner of both Vandermeer and Taylor, although I unfortunately had them both on the bench this round…..Thanks Hazza. Ben Crocker #20 Adelaide Crows. Contract Status: Out of contract at the end of 2020 AFL Player Contracts. A recruiter from a rival club said he would have played a lot of senior football if he parked his car at Metricon Stadium and not the Holden Centre.After playing 10 games in his debut season in 2016, Crocker added 16 more across his final three years at Collingwood to finish with 26 games in black and white.He has trained with the VFL program this month and completed his weights at the Holden Centre since the end of the season, preparing for a second chance that may or may not arrive this year.If things don’t fall his way this week – or during the pre-season supplemental selection period – Crocker is set to join Footscray or Richmond in a bid to get another chance.Footscray has rewarded VFL form with a spot on the Western Bulldogs’ list in recent years, with Billy Gowers and Ryan Gardner earning another opportunity after being delisted by Carlton and Geelong without playing a senior game. The original and the best.

Advanced Member. Among the other Crows who could be under selection heat include mature-age recruits Ben Crocker and Ben Keays, who were quiet last week. With Jordan De Goey emerging from ratbag to superstar, Jaidyn Stephenson bursting onto the scene and Jamie Elliott roaring back to life this year, cementing a spot in Collingwood’s unconventional forward line has been one of the toughest tasks in football.Since being delisted by the Magpies last month, the 22-year-old has attracted interest from a handful of clubs, both in Melbourne and beyond the Victorian border.Crocker has been given no guarantees of a second chance but is prepared to pack up his life in Melbourne to continue his dream, which given his situation at home, is a bigger sacrifice than most players who will be picked this week.His father Paul has suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s disease since 2014 and his condition is continuing to deteriorate.Despite producing the best VFL season of his career to date after being moved to a wing over the summer, Nathan Buckley rarely found room for Crocker in his best 22 this year.He played three consecutive games late in the season when Stephenson was suspended, but the Magpies’ match committee overlooked Crocker for most of the year, despite Josh Thomas and Will Hoskin-Elliott struggling to follow up career-best campaigns from 2018.One person inside the Holden Centre said Crocker was ‘the next best player who didn’t get picked’ for most of this year.

Folks – for those that use the BYE PLANNER – I’ll look to update it again after this round so you will have the byes showing for your team and prices and BEs etc after end of Rnd12 Fixture for Rounds 14 through 17 is out. I’ll be mildly surprised if Rowell plays again this season. While Will Hayes was drafted by the Dogs last year after toiling away for five years for Footscray.While clubs can select Crocker in the National, Rookie or Pre-Season Draft, he is more likely to be taken as a delisted free agent.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.
