Was logging in to post the same thing, I think so
hmmm now im not sure. Has been the 7th defender behind the ball for the first 5 games against Dees, Lions, Eagles, Pies and Cats.

Has Hawks, Giants, Blues, Swans and Dogs before the bye. Dont see a lot of those teams not picking up a spare player on HB

So, what's the go ...

With Eliot Yeo?

Breaking out? Or a flash in the pan?

I've got Dahl, Macrae, and Nank. I'd like another forward. Would normally get Buddy but you couldn't take a Swan player at the moment could you. Might get Lynch after his bye. Might get Roo if he drops a bit in price at some stage. Yeo top 6-8 forward?

I think Neale is worth considering.
Lowest scores of 83 and 84. The rest 119-147.
Looks to have rounded out his game nicely, no longer just an inside-mid.
Good POD in only 2.9% of teams.

Had him last year after the byes. Got shut out by Robinson when they played the Lions but otherwise very consistent with a high ceiling.

He's high on my list for next week. This seems to be a good year to look outside the top few we go to year after year. Zerrett is the other one who just keeps going. Ebert another owned by nobody who's sneaking under the radar, lowest score of 95, his only one under 100.

I'm targeting Neale but avoiding Ebert. I don't trust the way Hinkley uses his players. Look at what he's done with Robbie Gray. And Wines has been up and down: 19-35 possies, 56-145 SC.

What do we think the top 8 mids look like?

Danger, Sloane, Bont, Pendles, Selwood, Rockliff, then take 2 of Merrett, Neale, Titchell, Hannebery, Priddis, Cripps, and Ablett?

I got on Ebert back in 2014 when he was on a big run and he went poorly for the rest of the year. He seems to be a better DT option for mine.

T.Mitchell is looking a consistent option and is probably less affected by teammates than some of the other options.

They look like this:
Sloane
Bont
Rocky
Neale
Murphy
Dangerfield
Pendles
Ebert

Interesting post from Fantasy Freako...

JPK averaged 102 between rounds 1-7 last year, then 119 for the rest of the reason. He is currently averaging 100. History repeating...?

I'm glad I had him as a pod from Rd 1! He was a great captain for me yesterday and helped move me into the top 700 (best ranking I've had)

Jones was on the edge of my team for Rd 1 but I sadly went elsewhere. He will be up and down. Lloyd has been more consistent but the swans back line is ever changing. Newman may come back in next week (I hope) melican will probably be out...With Macca having a reasonable first game this weekend Jones might spend more time running through the middle as he did against the lions... But the lions were shyte... More questions than answers...

I'm keen to see how Mills' output is effected when Rampe comes back in. Hopefully we finally get to see him in the midfield!

Thoughts on Wines? His one really low score was crap but he copped a knock to the knee over the weekend so that might explain his average score against the eagles. He has some great numbers this year as well though... And he could be really useful over the major bye rounds... And he is cheap!!

I don't trust Hinkley (and Voss) to keep roles consistent. They mix and match too much for me. Look at what has happened to R Gray this season.
