    Rucks 2016

    Gawn was massive, wasn't he? Or was it that Lobbe was so poor? Pity that, as I was hoping Lobbe would be a preferred R2 for many and it would be a good POD for me. Now it looks likely a lot will jump off him.

    Rookies 2016

    Issue for me is that GWS doesn't seem to like playing their rookies. 2015: Picket - 0 games; Marchbank - 5; Ahern - 0; McKenna - 0; Steele - 7 2014: Boyd - 9; Kelly - 18; McCarthy - 1; Lobb - 2 2013: Whitfield - 19; O'Rourke - 1; Ploughman - 6; Jaksch - 2; Corr - 10 So only Kelly and Whitfield...

    Lonergan's career is a bit strange. Showed all the promise in the world as a junior. Playing as an inside mid he had a really good U18 for Tas with 137SC average and highest CP rate. Debuted in the Tas state league as a 15yo. At the 2012 combine he was 2nd in the standing vertical jump, 3rd in...

    Had Laird in RDT and Draft league last year. Very happy with him as he scored well whether lock-down or free-running role. Rated elite for both CP and UP so doubt if he'll be as up and down as Jaensch and Smith. Even tho Adelaide won easily on the w/end it's worth noting Laird had 2CP/19UP at a...

    I like Salem, too. Love to watch him play: he's tough, gets his own ball, tackles. Dees value him and plan to use him as HB sweeper. Only problem from SC viewpoint is his kick rating is pretty poor at -7.5% for short kicks. But DT v SC ratio very good. Think he can av. at least 90+. If his body...

    I've wondered about Clarke ever since I saw his U18/TAC numbers - very impressive. But will he get a regular game, though?

    All good doddy. Sorry if I'm being a pain.

    Keeper league.

    OK doddy - Cavalier Roundhead is in. A couple of points: Position changes: Allow in-season updates - I'm happy to play with the updates but I would prefer none Max Acquisitions: "none per season" and "unlimited" per week. Does this mean we can't swap out a player for an unsigned player before...

    Only problem is that Byrne is still a rookie and unless promoted unlikely to get games.

    Rookies 2016

    Some backs I'm interested in are: Essendon: A Francis - played in SANFL last year; M Brown and Hartley - both mature-age with good years in VFL; A Morgan - 20yo with decent U18 and TAC North: M Hibberd - 19yo with decent U18/TAC Richmond: N Broad - 22yo, av. 87SC in WAFL Bulldogs: K Collins -...

    Keeper league.

    If we have a first-game Saturday line-up lock-out then I think we must have the emergency cover non-playing players only and not empty slots. In my previous draft years, people have put Friday night game players in the emergency positions and if they have scored well have used those scores...

    Tom Mitchell

    If I could trust Longmuire to play him mostly on-ball he'd be a lock for me. Take out sub games and he averaged 112.73 last year, 5/15 full games under 100: 77, 80, 84, 91, 97. Compare JPK: av. 110.2, only 5/22 under 100: 61, 62, 73, 83, 97. $563,700 v $594,800

    Good on ya, Doddy! I'm in. Happy with 10 teams, play through byes so we can play each team twice, live draft. If 2 teams finish with equal number of wins then team with highest points for is ranked higher - basically because it shows which is the better team and you can't control the points...

    Libba, O'Meara and Crouch

    If my memory is correct - not a certainty - Libba didn't necessarily need Minson to get his clearances. He had a tactic at stoppages of pushing back into his opponent just before the ball was bounced which gave him the half-second he needed to then move forward to the drop of the ball. I've...

    Fantasy and RDT

    For anyone who is interested there is a good article, complete with chart, on the DT/RDT points each club has given up in the years 2012-2015 on the Coaches Panel web-site, It not only gives total points but also gives 100's conceded. http://coachespanel.com.au/fixture-year-by-year-analysis/...
