    The year of the midpricer

    I'd highly recommend listening to this week's podcast to get a bit more clarity on the midpricer situation we face this year.

    When are the Podcasts coming back?

    Outstanding podcast this week, maybe the best preseason podcast I've ever listened to. Definitely helped me make up my mind on structure and killed off a lot of my left field (ie. crazy) thinking.

    Defenders 2016

    I may be a tad biased but I keep coming back to Bartel. So he might miss a couple of games. Who doesn't? 19th on the line of pricing for a potential top 6 def... I'd take him over Yeo, Smith, etc.

    Rucks 2016

    I think that's the appeal for Blitz. Having a pure midfielder at R2 is bloody tempting. At this stage I'm going with Set and Forget too with Goldy and Stef. There's more than enough value on every other line to allow me to splash out on rucks. I'm not happy about seeing Leuys ownership go down...

    Starting team structure

    Bit short up forward there ;) Mine is very similar to this. 2-2-4 5-1-5 2-0-1 3-0-5 Still tinkering but it looks pretty solid so far.

    X v. Y

    I'm siding with you on this one Cactus. He's in my side at the moment but only because I think he will more or less average what the 480k-500k defenders will. He's by no means safe in my side, his role still concerns me with Jaensch, Seedsman and Henderson all having similar gigs. I'm not...

    The year of the midpricer

    The thing with Hartung is his price. In the same range (excluding Libba) you have Crouch, JOM, and Polec. Assuming you go with 3 elites, Rocky and Libba, I'm not sure you can have more than one of those 300k guys on the park as that takes you down to M7 and you end up completely sacrificing at...

    Forwards 2016

    He will be a massive POD. Last year with Higgins showed that a guy can burn you over and over again but when they are fit, they're worth the risk. I think you could only take one of him or Wells up forward though. Risk is one thing. Outright stupidity is another altogether.

    Rucks 2016

    This is spot on. Blitz will only ruck as a 3rd man up or if others are injured. Stanley and Smith won't fit in the same team assuming all of Clark, Vardy and Blicavs are best 22. A lot of risk involved in picking any of these guys tbh.

    Rucks 2016

    He's been slotted in as a key forward. Will only play ruck if Stanley, Smith, Clark, and Blicavs all go down. Clark probably won't play round 1 and I doubt Stanley and Smith will play in the same side, so Vardy will play CHF in front of Hawkins and then pinch hit in the ruck. Priced at just...

    Defenders 2016

    Losing Suckling from that half back line could boost Birchs average by 10ppg... Definitely watching closely.

    Rookies 2016

    Byrne was definitely on. He just got nowhere near it at all. He was in my very first draft but hasn't been in my side since. And won't be at all now. Kerridge has been a no brainer all along but tonight he will go from 35% ownership to 60. Watch everyone sook and moan when he averages 70...

    The year of the midpricer

    Glad you mentioned Hutchings. Glad you did the sums too. I have him on a similar footing to Yeo but at much better value. Being fwd/mid means I've gotta few guys ahead of him at this stage. Definitely watching closely through the preseason.

    Rookies 2016

    Broad seems to be this year's Kmac. Fingers crossed. Menegola won't play AFL unless a whole heap of mids get injured. There's a lot of guys in front of him for a spot in that midfield.

    Defenders 2016

    Me three. Most likely top 6 defender who will play 22 games. Who cares how much he costs. Lock.

    Forwards 2016

    Isn't there an element of risk with everyone we pick though? I can definitely see him finishing at a top 6 forward. He could also average 80, play 10 games and completely ruin the side.

    Forwards 2016

    Being a Cats man, I love menzel... But at 260k he is not coming anywhere near my side. As mentioned, there's 4 or 5 guys similarly priced or cheaper who are a lot less risky with the same potential. As for troy, I read yesterday something mentioning that he has "a lot of work to do" if he wants...
