Considering swapping Kelly for Treloar at the moment.

Just have a gut feel that Kelly won't be the rolled gold keeper everyone's thinking he will be. Teams playing the Pies are more likely to lock down Sidebottom or even Beams?

Do you have Coniglio? If not I would swap Kelly to him

If he's a keeper, you'll be sad to have left him out ...

Does anyone really think Sam Walsh will be a keeper?
At best he is the last rookie upgraded, although given his price and likely quicker price rise or the need to have a quicker price rise due to his inflated starting price, the likelihood is that he gets upgraded during the byes barring injuries.
It is more the quick cash generation to a premo that would have me worried about not starting him?

I get where you’re coming from with Walsh, I was fairly strong on not starting him most of the preseason but he swayed me with his JLT form. At his price I think we need a minimum 80 average to be worth it, but after seeing him in action it seems there’s a reasonable chance he gets that. So he should make 150-200k and be a reliable on-field rookie scorer, which is pretty hard not to select

Thoughts in Shiel at M5 as a bit of a POD, probably a bit risky i guess but oh well. Or should i just go Libba, cheaper option.

Would certainly be a pod, not sure if you will get as much cash growth though?

Don’t pick him just for the sake of picking a POD. If you see some value and think he can average 105+ then he might be worth a gamble, but given he’s only gone over 100 once before (101 in 2015) it seems unlikely

Reckon he'll outdo JOM's first year of 90.1. This might be the last time we see him under $500k....

I'd personally go with the top option. Rockliff, Crouch And Hanley all have question marks so the probability that 1 doesn't work out is very high and all may not work out.

The first option has 2 premiums with upside to improve and a cheap rookie who if named Rd.1, should increase 8n price

Is Macrae a lock? A lot of money but he killed me last year.
