Agree 100%. We will have some falling premiums coming our way shortly - for those who didn't start with them: Pendles, Dusty, Wingard, Bont (if you rate him), Lewis (if you can put up with the frustration of owning him), Gunston, Heater, Stef.. Downgrading to a DBJ or similar this week...

And also where players are named on the bench / extended interchange - means sweet FA

Added to which, with a B/E of 147 (thanks to the 67 in his rolling average), you might be able to pounce on him for $575k next week EDIT - scratch all that, was looking at my DT spreadsheet, Priddis will probably only drop to $590k - B/E of 163 with the 79 against the Hawks in his 3-game...

Still weighing up a Lonergan/Brouch to Ruggles + a MID upgrade. (I don't feel Lonergan will be a keeper, with the embarrassment of cheap DEFs (Weitering/Adams/Dea) it seems a slight waste of $ to carry Lonergan when I have Heater, Jimmy & Rich).. Weighing up (with $580k max spend): * Ward...

Ruggles has been upgraded - per Scott to give the Cats the option of playing him. For those without him, hopefully a couple of weeks away so our Bomber rookies can fatten up a bit..

Laird's B/E is 79. Without a Gibbo-esque score his price won't jump significantly given his relatively high starting $. If Laird can pump out consistent 90s and above without going TOO large (or small of course), his price will climb slowly and so there's plenty of time to get him -> think Kade...

Going to be watching Bartel like a hawk this week. Hopefully just a slow start given his age but if he dishes out another 60 against the lowly Lions he might be going "up" to Laird next week (if I end up grabbing JJ this week, undecided). Bartel's B/E of 126 not severe at all, would be happy...

Parish priced to average 38, R.Davis priced to average 19. Given the ~20pt difference in average over the first 2 rounds they're basically breaking even at this point. IF you thought they'd average the same from here, Parish would get to $350k quicker given his higher base but Davis would...

Difficult given how terrible Daisy was last year - would need a massive score this week against the Suns for most people to consider him.. In DT he got a 20% discount for only playing 5 games - but not in SC. Shame, i think Daisy would be a lot more palatable at $247k than $309k..

Disappointing from De Goey.. with Swan and Sidebum out I was hoping for more. Only 14d (5 contested) and only 1 centre clearance.. 50SC for a 2 round average of 65.5. Yes, only early and he'll hold his price with a 65 next week, but starting to think he won't be a near-premium to average 85+...

Hmmmmm looking at the GWS extended bench, you'd have to say that Tomlinson and Kelly are most likely to get a gig.. then probably Buntine for some depth in defence.. Patton probably misses, and Wilson is keeping Zac out - so perhaps 1 of Steele/Greene misses? Coniglio and Hoskin-Elliott are...

Easy to forget that Rich is still only 25.. not too late to take a step up at all IMO..

The Kraken IN - thanks for organising!

Anyone thinking about young Clayton Oliver from the Dees? Not cheap @ $207k - but has shown more than Hopper (and i share the concerns above about GWS rookies in general). Personally, I will be paying up for Mills - think he has the best chance of turning out a Joel Selwood/Toby Greene debut...

Was keen on Hall when preseason began (October) all the way through into the new year.. then my faith wavered a bit with all the naysaying and seeing how he fitted into different SC team structures.. but now I think I'm back on him. Freako mentioned that he attended a comp-high 89% of centre...

My brief thoughts FWIW: Boyd - will be managed. He was remarkably durable over 2006-2012 (missed only 2 games in 7 years), but has missed 16 games over last 3 years and will turn 34 before the finals. Last year? PASS Bartel - less concerned about him vs. Boyd. He's "only" 32. Prior to his...

Not much.. same with Crowley (despite reports he could be "released" to play more offensively - could he reach the dizzying heights of a 65pt average? Pass) Hopefully we won't need to go down this route - hopefully one (or both) of MacPherson and Marcon (2016's Kane Lambert) get upgraded.. I...

Some slightly cheaper guys I haven't seen discussed (yet) in this thread - unless I'm going blind..: A.Hall - probably too risky at $428k (priced at his 79SC average) given he's perhaps unlikely to follow up his blistering 114pt average over the last 7 rounds of last season with the - in theory...

Will be watching Hunter's role closely through the NAB - averaged 103 from Rd17-23 and backed up with a handy 107 in the Elimination Final.. could be an interesting POD and Jack Macrae-esque breakout..

(Sorry I'm late to the discussion, been offline for a bit..) Personally I'm starting with Goldy and probably Stef Martin at this stage - yep, the 2 most expensive rucks but I think given their endurance etc they're likely to benefit from the drop in rotations, and I'm personally leaning towards...
