    Wouldn't be too worried just yet, have him in at F4. Great to hear that Kurt wants to play no.1 ruck - my bet is Horse Longmire would much prefer him up Forward with Bud, it's just so dangerous. Tippet did well when Pyke couldn't do his job but the Swans lacked scoring power. Sinclair has been...

    Sinclair is guaranteed to the first choice ruck imo as long as he stays fit. Sydney have a long history of giving players they've targeted every opportunity to shine. From memory the early word was he didn't want to move? Something got him over the line - suspect getting no 1 ruck duties would...

    Don't see the point in that at all.. Total lottery. Seems like that's about getting people into the system to pump up figures for advertising - being the top league after round one counts for what? (Other than winning the prize of course).

    All good, they've updated article - reading $50k now. Would have got ugly if they tried to slide that through without announcing.

    Hmmm, have him locked - wait for PS I reckon. He's ultra fit, might not effect him like it would some. Not something you want to hear. Just noticed in a HS article that major prize had been reduced to $20k this year. Seems like a big drop... Maybe there's coin to be won re: leagues this...

    Hard to go wrong with any of those. Ollie Wines only because I love how hard at it he is - don't see those 4 being separated by much at all. You could put Luke Parker in also, feel a changing of the guard coming on at Sydney.

    Nice work! Hope you're right, if he averages 95+ he'll turn out to be a must have with his starting price. Looking at Murphy's stats you've quoted he presents some value and will surely be a POD

    Looking at both Bird and Lobbe also. Not 100% against Lobbe. No competition, Dixon is the only other candidate and he can't stay on the park. Agree that he didn't look great last year, clearly didn't gel with Ryder - surprised by the stats you've referenced, they're quite similar yet the...

    Think I saw you guys discussing Rosa earlier in the thread. Player for player I'd have him ahead of Yeo - purely based on the opportunities he should get. Smith looks like he will be popular at the same price point - not sure how many of these types you would want to be risking on the defensive...

    Haha don't thank me yet. If Yeo comes out and pulls big no's you'll be spewing and have your mate ribbing you for eternity. Just think there's enough there to discount him as a lock. $440k has the markings of the classic mid price trap - 20% of them work out, can set up your season if you get...

    Can see the potential in Yeo but he's far from a lock at $443k. Sure he had some solid scores but he also bombed hard in the last 6 or 7 rounds. If he played pure mid you would think he could ave 100 possibly, but with the additions of Redden and Jetta on top of Priddis, Shuey, Masten and Gaff...

    Tend to run more mid rookies and minimise them fwd/def here. Historically I've found that you will be able to find 3 mid rooks that will outscore/average the best fwd/def options - 3 mid rookies and 2 fwd rookies with 5mid premiums and 4 fwd premiums would be the go. The 3 prem, 2 mid price, 3...

    Lever to Hodge?

    That's a big ppg differential and definitely a smart play but if your a game inside the 8 I'd personally hold - assuming your draw is ok and likely to get one win out of the next 2? It's a tough spot, if you use 2 trades now when you may not absolutely need to you could cost yourself during the...
