    My thoughts are do you really want to miss out on Kennedy or Menadue - I guess neither are must haves - but both should make good cash. It is not out of the question that Luey could work as a pick but I don't think the odds would be on your side.

    We Well maybe more realisticallt just say Hall averages at keeper level for the first part of the season til the other mids come back and then drops off a bit - he's got MID/FWD so no reason he couldn't become the bench cover. You'd still have got pretty good value for you 420K outlay.

    I'm actually considering Barlow, Sam Gray and Hall. Feels like that might just too much wishful thinking ... one of Gray and Hall feels OK ... both is probably asking for trouble. Just love these blokes on the up ...

    Forwards 2016

    You can make a case against basically every single forward line option this year, apart from Barlow and every has him. So the question is not whether Hall has a potential down side but whether or not you can find a couple of keepers with less downside (depending how many forwards your taking)...

    I have Libba and Mills but no Oliver or Parish so I guess my vote is option 1.

    Rich Lonergan KK These three I've been moving around, in and out of my team, just can't make the backline look right ... Lonergan feels so speculative but then he's played about the same number of games as KK. I feel if I could get my head around the backline I'd be feeling pretty content...

    Midfield 2016

    Nope, not crazy. You can make a case against these two - GAJ getting on and has a slightly concerning number of injuries in the last couple of years - Fyfe priced fairly high and does miss a few games here and there. I have both. But if you decide to bet against them and they both blow up you'll...

    I like KK and NicNat by a fair distance. I'm not worried about NAB form for primo picks (unless they are returning from injury) and NicNat I rate very highly this year.

    Pretty nice team. Just need enough of those midfield rookies to get named to make it work. There was some talk that Mathieson might have had his cheek broken for him today. I reckon Mitch Brown could still be an option if need be. I'm pretty sure I read that he had low TOG today so there was...

    Couple too many speculative picks in this team for my taste. I'd be going for 1 (maximum of 2) of JJ, McGov, and Sheridan in the backline. Maybe one of Ollie or Viney in the midfield. And really all of Gawn, Gray, Hall and Menz are a bit speculative. Hoping for three or four of these picks to...

    Am I right in thinking this team leaves you with a fair bit of money unspent? I've got a similar team but somehow I seem to have a disturbingly large amount of money left unspent.

    Midfield 2016

    Had him in my first draft. Then read some stats (on another site) about his average with/without Wines playing that made me a little bit wary ... not in my starting side at the moment but on the next ring and in consideration if one of my starting picks fails to get up for round one.

    Sam Gray

    Gray v Hall v Greene FBDonkey pretty dismissive of Hall last week and sounding pretty keen on Greene this week. The only problem is with these boom players ... unpleasant memories of Lumumba last year. I guess these guys are all potential break outs rather than people with a long track record...

    It is a little bit to midpricer-y for my taste but I actually like it more than most mid pricer teams that I've seen. This team should score heavily early in the season and the high priced rookie types could still make some decent cash. Still ... if you shift one mid pricer down and one up you...

    Easy big fella. They guy made a gracious apology to anyone who was offended by the language. Any more of this and we'll have to have honour satisfied in the gentlemanly way - pistols at dawn. ;)

    @Rupert and @camloch Is it a coincidence that the ranks of SuperCoach fans seem full of St Kilda and Melbourne and Richmond supporters? (Not to mention Fitzroy fans). Need something to perk our interest through the decades long dry spells. There seem to be precious few Hawthorn supporters...

    What do you think about downgrading Dusty to Gray? Dusty is a solid forward line pick but at his price might not be essential to start with? My nagging worry with Gray is that I'm pretty sure I told myself I wouldn't be influenced by NAB form of players (apart from rooks and assessing the...
