I've got those guys plus Pendles. Given I can't justify dropping any of the others, I flirted with dropping Pendles but he could be seen as underpriced given he averaged over 124 for 4 years straight before 2015. He might not get to those heights again but I could definitely see him hitting 120...

Love the Shiel pick. Reckon he should manage 110 minimum. Just can't fit him in at this stage!

Sorry I couldn't do it in the end fellas. Feel one more fantasy comp would've been too much research for me and I already have another draft on this Friday (The Bench - some draft comp I'd never heard of before). I'd be keen to do this next year though!

I actually think the defender rookies are solid. The only locks we have in the midfield seem to be Mills and Davis - Gresham only played the 2nd half today, Matheison may have a broken cheekbone and the others are probably unlikely to be named round 1. In defence we have Weitering, the bomber...

I'm struggling with my bye structure - particularly the middle round (14). Feel this year they may need to be considered more given the fact they are a little later and most teams will be pretty much complete by the time they roll around - you won't be in heavy trading mode and it may be hard to...

I'm with you @Steve. Apart from Mills and Parish the mid rookies look very speculative at this stage. There's plenty of potential options but none seem to have good job security: Keays Matheison Gore Dunkley Davis Macpherson Marcon Phillips Clarke Reid Cunningham Jansen Keough and Gresham. Not a...

Yeh my thoughts exactly. Worst case if he goes down you can either sideswap to someone around his price or go down to a 200k rookie (e.g. Parish) or even all the way down if someone cheaper looks the goods. Plenty of water to go under the bridge though. As it stands he's my M7. Going deep in the...

Crouch named to play on Friday. Too big an injury risk or are people still considering him? I think he has the potential to average 105 this season so if he looks good I will probably roll the dice with him. Bound to break down at some point so hopefully he's made enough cash by then

It's actually really hard to tell. Had a look at a couple of articles which had a crack at North's best 22 and somehow Macmillan wasn't in either! Ridiculous. Mullett probably will struggle to get games the more I think about it, but one to keep an eye on anyhow.

Anyone keen on Mullett at 200k? Had somewhat of a breakout campaign in 2013 where he averaged 77.7 (dropped under 60 in just 2/21 games not including his injury affected score), however has struggled with injuries and form in the last couple of years. Seems to be highly rated at North and was...

Just had a read through this article on Lids: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/richmond/damien-hardwick-confident-brett-deledio-can-play-every-game-this-season/news-story/ce7afa2313d551fa73647255c621d36d Says the obvious points such as he'll need to be managed for the rest of his...

Found this article on NAB 1 where both Nicholls and Currie played: http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/sport/afl/suns-giant-peter-wright-makes-most-of-his-chances-against-lions/news-story/e47936bf48df685fbb48f1d69c202de0 In regards to the rucks, Eade says “Tom, I thought, gave us a bit more...

I get the feeling the Suns will give Nicholls first crack as he probably has more potential than Currie, who seems to be just an honest, hard-working ruckman. If Nicholls isn't cutting the mustard in the early rounds, then Currie gets a go.

Would've loved to have seen Gawn come up against a decent ruckman in the preseason. His tons last year came against: St Kilda 118 (Longer) Geelong 146 (Blicavs/Walker) Essendon 150 (Mckernan) Brisbane 105 (Leuey/Stef) St Kilda 110 (Longer) Collingwood 104 (Witts/Grundy) Freo 106 (Sandi) - did a...

I would be using some of that left over money to get Goldy at R1. Don't think you can go a whole season without him. While I do think he is probably overpriced, he should still be the clear #1 ruck and locking in 2 premium rucks means you'll be leaking 15 odd points every game. EDIT: @Steve...

http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/sport/selwood-leaves-coach-amazed-after-limited-preseason/story-fnjuhrxq-1226878758277 This is back in 2014. This bit is what is tempting me: “He basically played five minutes of preseason footy and has come in and really dominated the game,” Scott said of...

Pretty well balanced team. Sam Gray is an interesting one. Dominated the end of last year and has done well in the preseason thus far but whether he can consistently deliver good scores with Port's full midfield up and running is yet to be seen. His run of form coincided with Wines' injury and...

Selwood is definitely speculative but I recall he didn't have a preseason in 2014 either and came out like a steam train (157 140 138 126). Definitely a risk at this stage but if he manages to get through the VFL game unscathed I'd be mighty tempted. Also tempted by Sloane at a similar price...

Yeh that's exactly what I was thinking. Which midfield rookies do you think will get games though? I feel the only big ones I might be missing are Mills and Gresham but Mills is expensive and Gresham is hardly a round 1 lock as it stands. Can't see many rookie locks floating around

I've tried something completely different for now. In past years the midfield rookies have been much better than on any other lines - that doesn't seem the case this year, so this season could be the one to stack the midfield and not compromise the quality of your rookies too much. I doubt I'll...
