    2017 Injuries

    Well the main thing I take from that is that I'll be letting Dayne Beams run against me this year.

    2017 Forward Midpricers

    Good chance Caddy will get a game ... ... but best hope of the 50K might be if the other two don't. ;)

    2017 Forward Midpricers

    I think he's been mentioned in another thread but Shaun Higgins has me slightly interested at $426K. Reports are he his looking fit this preseason and departures from North could see an increased role for him. My worry is that North might be in for a pretty tough year and if Higgins sits forward...

    2017 Injuries

    Strong rumour doing the rounds that there is something wrong with Goldy. Can't find an official source for it yet but I've seen it written that he missed North's intraclub game today and will miss the rest of the preseason ...

    2017 Forward Primos

    Yep. Not currently in active consideration for me just because I think it is very hard to quantify the effects of his treatment on his constitution. Full disclosure - I'm an oncology nurse. If Roughy was treated with the more traditional chemotherapy agents I reckon I'd be against selecting him...

    Next year might be the year for Heeney.

    2017 Rate My Team

    A whole bunch of interesting choices here. I like the Nick Riewoldt pick in the forward line. I might have to drop him to free up cash to upgrade Sandi but I'm trying to find a way around it. I currently have space for one of Shaw and Vince in the backline and I can't quite make up my mind...

    2017 Rate My Team

    Swallow and Sandi were the only two midpricers I was set on but with Sandi's calf I'll probably look to take someone else in the midpricer category. Maybe Beams if he looks really fit and ready to go. I took Andrew Swallow as a bit of value a couple of years ago and ended up stuck with him...

    Wow. Jack Bowes has a haircut that wouldn't have looked too silly in 1815.

    Great idea. It will be fun to play against a few of the forum regulars. This year I've called my team Murses United because I'm a nurse in real life.

    Wow. Sandi to miss the preseason comp with a calf strain: http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-02-01/veteran-docker-sandilands-ruled-out-with-calf-injury That is going to make for some big rethinks.

    2017 Ruck Cover

    Durable and consistent but I'm worried about his low ceiling. Last year was his best year so far. His top score was 127 and that was the only time he broke 120. Not really on my radar at the moment for that reason. You would think he is very likely to improve on his average of 96 but will it...

    2017 Midfield Primos

    Friend of mine had him last year and from memory found the roller coaster a bit wearing on the nerves. Has played enough games that you would think he has probably found his level. Lots of people think the saints are in the up and I suppose that alone could give him a bit of a scoring boost...

    2017 Backline Midpricers

    For those contemplating Zac Williams here is an interesting article from the AFL website: http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-01-30/who-is-the-afls-most-underrated-player It rates him 2nd out of all AFL players (behind only Danger) on Champion Data's new "relative rating" which rates players against...

    2017 Ruck Cover

    29 years old should be about prime for a ruck. If he is fit enough to play almost every game and not break down he'll be a pretty good pick ...

    2017 Backline Midpricers

    Ah. Good post. Plenty of data. I see where you are coming from. More, stepping stone outside chance of becoming D6. So, priced at 341K. I can see the point of 1 or 2 stepping stone across your starting line up. Swallow is the only one I have at the moment but I might entertain another...
