He did. To signal that he had to come off. Done his hammy.

@Luke Thompson Love the detail in your write up. My only quibble you mention more midfield time for Brodie Smith ... what gives you the impression that will be happening? I know Brodie has said in the past he would like to play more midfield but I thought the word was he was likely to be...

Interesting.

The boys pretty bullish on him on the podcast tonight.

OK. I'll bite. If you are talking anywhere on the field I think you're going Brad Crouch. Not sure what his ownership is like at the moment but there are quite a few knocks on him so he' be a fair POD you'd reckon. If your hinting at a backline specific POD then I'm not sure ...

No need to overthink this one - both great options. If you don't have space for both then flip a coin - don't think either will disappoint their owners.

It seems to be the big question with Houli to me. Could Yarren come in and play a similar role and take some of his points? Or could Yarren attract the forward tag leaving Houli free to run around mopping up pouts at will ... wish I knew the answer to that one ...

LeCras? Bold move. He has never averaged at an acceptable keeper level in 10-12 seasons of football played. Also he is made of peanut brittle.

I'm not really keen on Gawn for a few of the reasons discussed earlier in this thread. He could be a good pick but there are a couple too many question marks for mine. Nic Nat I reckon is very likely to be an awesome pick this year. Just outside my team but only because I'm rating Goldy and...

The problem with Kruz in a way is that he went OK in the second half of the year - he went well enough that he is not a real bargain price - but not so well that you'd think him a chance of matching it with the real elite rucks this year - he could be an OK pick but he just doesn't seem to make...

Oh, have Lonergan over Sherro at the momo also.

Very similar to what I've got at the moment. I have Bartel and Kolo in the back line instead of Shaw and Rich. I have Danger in the mids instead of Lids forward but apart from that very close. Oh I also have Stef over Jacobs.

Jeez - can't believe your finding the enthusiasm to get to the preseason games - to effort.

Lids - came in for his share of criticism in his early years but has worked his way up to being a fantastic footy player - plus he seems like a real gentleman - it is a real pleasure to barrack for him week in week out whether he is in my SC team or not.

You make some good points. Same price as Shaw and every chance to average more and score more. A bit overpriced but probably the safest forward line pick to finish top three.

Just listened to the forwards podcast and the boys were pretty cold on a couple of the cheaper keepers who's tires I have been kicking - Christensen and Hall.

I tried a couple of drafts with Priddis in but it didn't feel right. Upgrade target for me. He is on the rung with JPK and Beams (and Selwood this year due to injury interruption) for me. Just outside my starting side. If any of them are the right price at upgrade time I'll snap them up.

I'm tempted by a Hall or a Lonergan but both feels like too much. Lonergan - little exposed form but needs to do less to be considered a success. Hall - form with the other midfielders impressive but he's a very tricky price to have invested if he doesn't work. Maybe I could take both ... the...

I didn't know it was even possible to spend that much money without picking a single keeper. I'm however disturbed to see you have some genuine low priced rookies in your bench - surely with 400K left in the kitty you could upgrade a couple of your rookies and give yourself some proper mid...

Now the actual story on Lonergan. An article on the AFL website quotes Eade as saying the ankle does not look severe - it hasn't swollen up - he is unlikely to play NAB 3 - be should play round 1. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2016-03-03/eagles-suns-count-cost-after-bruising-clash Slight concern...
