He's D1 in my current iteration. Swans have options at half back and are more likely to need to push guys out to go forward. Not sure he's a massive scorer yet, but should be at least 95+.

Agree. Start the injury prone player, don't trade them in. Fyfe, if he's a trade in target, will be expensive rather than cheap. Almost a case of start with him or forget he exists.

Dunkley.... *sigh* I picked Dunkley last year at $296k. I picked him because as a contested midfielder he is a bull and a really good SC scorer in that role, even when he was a rookie. It looked like he was going to get that midfield time in the preseason, so I went with him. Therefore, I...

Interesting quotes from the article on the Eagles intraclub match - seem to suggest a couple of the new rules did not have a drastic impact. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-22/play-me-young-eagles-state-their-case-in-intraclub-hitout The new 6-6-6 starting positions appeared to have little...

He's still a good pick. For me, there's 3 guys around his price who I reckon will go 120+ if all goes well for them this year. Oliver probably won't be far off either. Whereas I think Neale tops out at 115 - I could be wrong and maybe he does go 120+. Maybe the others get injured and he does...

Yeah but there wasn't much after Fyfe. Last year it was Walters sometimes, otherwise it was mostly first year players with Blakely and Langdon going through at times. Zorko is the obvious main one. Lyons is also there too. Then you've got some real top class talent coming through with some...

Coming into his 4th season, prime break out time. Understand he's had a great preseason after some injury issues in previous years. Played 4 games off half-back scattered through the early season for 79, 73, 116, 78, otherwise was on a wing or HFF. Moved back to half-back more for the last 6...

Port is definitely one to watch in the JLT. Looks like there will be some new names injected into that midfield this year. Powell-Pepper looks ready to take the next step. Joe Atley has been mentioned. Drew impressed in the intra-club. Some high picks coming in - Rozee, Butters, Duursma...

We also said that last year about Gray. He looks fit again, but I believe he has a chronic issue (?knee, can't remember) and they're concerned giving him too much midfield time will put too much strain and cause further injury. That's why they play him forward despite the fact they obviously...

I'm not against him either for changing clubs. Although I do see some hesitation for other reasons. He has had his best preseason by all reports, but still hard to see him increasing his average by a lot. He could go 115 but he's no guarantee to go 110+, and could just as easily have a great...

The hands in the back is one of the most interesting and forgotten rule changes. I do think we'll see a lot more contested marks as a result. So I can see this boosting key position players, especially forwards. How much for a contested mark, kick and goal? And do that once a game, even every 2...

The great thing about NKR and the JLT is that being a new rule you'd expect teams will be trying out their proper structure. So the guys taking the most will be the ones doing it in the real season, although there may be some who out-perform others and surpass them. My other thought is that it...

Small sample size, but just went back to look at the start of the 4 quarters in the GF. Both teams had 2-3 players on each end of the square and at least 1 charged in. 1st - locked in stoppage before anyone got to the centre players 2nd - scrubbed clear out wide and stoppage, none of the...

Maybe it will have more of an impact than I think. I guess they have a responsibility to pump up (or berate) the changes to generate public interest as well. No doubt the coaches and players have a lot to work on and plan for as it is a big structural change for this part of the game. Fagan...

On the 6-6-6 - I think the defence will be easy - do a zone with your 6 guys protecting the centre corridor so it's harder to hit a loose target there. If they hit one out to the pocket, then good luck with the kick and we'll quick-rebound up the other end from the behind. If they hit a short...

I'm in. Also not a clue what I'm doing :)

Fyfe 4-5 on the official list, so trade.

Trade for sure. He'll be out for at least a month.

Agree there. Shuey has never reached any great heights from a SC-perspective and WC don't have an easy draw. Might be a solid player but unlikely to be anything spectacular, might be a decent M8 at that price if you have someone else to loophole with at M9 and can't afford a topliner.
