Wells is my F3 at present. Again, all the money is in the mids.

History says the only bloke in recent times to finish top 2 in the ruck averages 2 years in a row is Cox. Both Goldy and Martin would need to do that... Goldy I think will. I don't think Martin can (in SC anyway).

Not saying he's a bad pick, but here's why I haven't picked him: 1) Only 3 big games there so small sample size, overall he had no sub-affected games so his average is his average. NAB he's only averaged 95 with high handball ratio and poor DE%. He's priced about 90 and that's about what I...

GAJ left when I heard about tendon injury. He's come back in tonight, but only because I didn't have enough for Fyfe who I also didn't have. Not 100% convinced on Fyfe, but maybe he goes 130+ this year. I've been off Pendles for a while. Too much talent in the Pies mids and reckon he'll end...

That hurts, he was the only bloke I was confident would get enough early games. I suspect my midfield bench with be full of forward rookies at this stage!!!

At the moment I've actually got Mills at M9 on the bench. Currently my midfield looks like: Danger, Ward, Sidey, Rocky, Duncan, Crouch, Libba, Crouch - bench is Mills, Mathieson, Davis Will probably restructure to some extent, but with the dearth of rookies I'm happy with the...

I'm struggling to even fill my midfield bench, let alone find guys to put on the field. Seriously considering a few mid-pricers in M5-8 with perhaps Mills at M8. My main concern is they'll only be a few guys named round 1. So everyone will pick those and serious risk of them only getting 1-2...

I'm really close to putting him in for the same reason. Really close. Other options are Parker and Wines. Owned both last season and both were underwhelming. Parker just doesn't seem to score enough to hit 110, but a good consistent 105. Wines will have the occasional stinker to go with his...

Still a hope for round 1, depending on if surgery required and how complex it is. You'd think he won't come in until a few weeks in though. Even if not named, maybe worth a gamble if there's limited options and he's only 1-2 weeks away.

Footywire is the way to go http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pc-essendon-bombers--matthew-dea?advv=Y 81.5% over 5 years and 31 games.

BTW, B.Crouch 40 touches in the SANFL warm-up game. Assuming he pulls up OK he's locked away in my team.

Sideboob has been locked in my side for a while now. Pendles will go where needed, possibly half-back a lot. Adams and Treloar will feed it out of the middle. Swan will be mostly up forward. Sideboob, with his gut running, will just roam through the middle gathering plenty of the pill and...

It's interesting watching Barlow and the stats closely. 4 tackles in the first half - I missed the first one, the 2nd one was good and should have won a free, the 3rd and 4th were after the Geelong player disposed of the ball and actually should have been frees against, let alone not counted as...

Still in my team and will probably stay there. But still food for thought, especially about whether he'll be an M8 at the end of the year.

You're spot-on. His 2015 scores are: Eithad: 103 102 78 69 101 62 89 97 100 105 82 Everywhere else: 62 70 48 82 62 62 58 53 54 Also remember the Dogs were far better at Etihad than everywhere else. Plenty to think about and great insights there from someone who's seen him more than most of us.

Libba shocking today. 41 points from 79% TOG. I only saw him once in the 2nd half, otherwise he was invisible. All of a sudden the most popular pick is looking a little shaky...

Curious to see what numbers of PODs people have. In my side on the ground currently (excluding rookies who are subject to a lot of change) I have: Owned 0-4% - 4 4-6% - 4 6-10% - 1 10-20% - 6 20-30% - 1 >30% - 3 It's nice to be different, but just wonder if I'm going a bit too exotic?

Apparently flu has gone through the Pies side, makes it hard to assess. Williams has done zero so a switch to Johanissen was something I was already considering and looking like the way to go at present.

They're too late this year for me to consider. I'll probably have burned 20 trades by then. As Steve mentions, rucks might need to pay attention, especially if you're doing set-and-forget. Later in the season as we fill our side out with keepers we do need to pay a bit more attention. I...

There are a lot of Joneses out there....
