    2017 Backline Primos

    I reckon Doc is likely to be a good pick but he's no bargain and I doubt I'll be starting him. Shaw is in and out of my team. He's in at the moment but he's the primo I'm least sure of. If I can talk myself into a Vince or even a Hartlett instead of Shaw I can have Goldy at R2. Otherwise I...

    Supercoach Gold? Rip Off...

    Should be $20 for SC Gold or $8.95 if you agree to accept a copy of their stinky newspaper. Last good thing I read in it was the form guide to the 2001 Melbourne Cup.

    Supercoach Gold? Rip Off...

    Wow. I was actually considering getting it this year in part to get the early access for next year but if this price hike is true then - zero chance.

    "Didn't" obviously that was supposed to be. Bloody spell check. Ruining my jokes. :(

    Question: what are Sauce's HTA stats like? His really good years were under the previous system before they made it HTA score 5 but other hitouts score NIL.

    If so Boyd might not be such a ridiculous pick ...

    2017 Midfield Midpricers

    I reckon Swallow and one Roughy / Ryder type if the rest of your picks are proven primos. I'd be a bit concern if you were thinking of taking those two and a breakout contender like a Touk Miller or some backline equivalent.

    2017 Ruck Cover

    Thanks @Benj that was exactly the sort of info I was after. Maybe, if Witts starts as solo Ruck round1, one could start Witts at R3 and downgrade him to Cameron before Witts round 9 bye.

    2017 Rookies

    I think you get it from the AFL Match Centre for the game on the AFL website. Go to Full Time Stats, then to Advanced Stats (doesn't seem to be available on mobile, only in desktop). If I'm reading it correctly it looks like EVW had 86% TOG, Hibberd 54% and some bloke called Declan Mountford...

    Anyone got the good oil on Darcy Cameron from the Swans? Scored SC 85 v North Melbourne but he must have heaps of people in front of him for a game when the real stuff starts (given that Nank had to come to the Tiges for opportunities). Plus the Swans have a disgracefully bad draw early for him...

    Yeah I've GawSandiWitts at the moment. Need a back plan if Sandi doesn't get up for R1. Maybe Witts down to Cameron and Sandi up to Ryder. Or Roughy down to FWD rookie and Sandi up to ... probably Goldy I guess.

    2017 Forward Midpricers

    My god. Speaking as a Tiges supporter it was very nice to watch Ty wearing the Mayblooms jumper. And still spudding it up.

    2017 Backline Midpricers

    Played a great game didn't he? It's not so much the stats although they looked good ... but he just looked SC relevant. Lots of run and carry. I've put him on the watch list.

    2017 Rookies

    Stewart, definitely yes at his price. I'm not quite what to make of Black's game. Looked great in one quarter I watch but really faded out of the game. At the price I'm keeping a watch on him but I'm not too sure on him yet.

    2017 Rate My Team

    I'm pretty sure that I read on of the overall winners in the last couple of seasons started R1 with a couple of hundred grand in the bank ... but it is probably not the percentage play most years. I try to leave myself somewhere around 50K for rookie corrections.

    2017 Backline Midpricers

    Interesting. Just listened to the podcast and the boys were pretty bullish on Hartlett in the backline at 420K. Seems like a role risk to me. From what I understand he shifted into a more backline role last year (a bit like Vince) and his scoring dropped off. Anything to make one think Hartlett...

    It is not just that he doesn't finish many full seasons but also that his upside is not that ... "up". Never averaged 100. So you're betting he holds together and averages career high. If you're going to take an injury risk player might be best to take it on someone with a big upside. Then...
