Thanks for that post match interview. Sounds pretty positive! Bursts in the midfield sound quite good too. All he needs is a big game against one of the easier sides and he'll jump up in price quite quickly.

@TomCat How did Menzel look in the VFL game? Any further updates I still keep going back to him as it's a spot between him and Oliver in my side now. His draw is very very appealing and he has much better JS than Oliver.

Yeah, no doubt Brawshaw would come straight back. Was pretty keen on starting Oliver, maybe needs a rethink.

No room for all 3?

Yeah, I reckon. Potentially increased centre bounce attendances may help his scoring but would it add 10ppg? Not too sure. Especially when Beams and Zorko are back. If he breaks out, I'm happier to trade him in than start with him. At 436k, I'd want a bit more certainty.

Interesting seeing Rich's heatmap from 2015 (From subscription on AFL app) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd4XgN1UMAAfOnL.jpg Compare with Boyd & Shaw https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd4eiKvVIAEDe2p.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd4e4ywUIAAmP5S.jpg Seems Rich in 2015 pushed into the mids from...

Should we be worried about Oliver & Bennedy?

Jibrangers joined!

There was some speculation he had a minor hamstring niggle. The dons aren't the best with disclosing all their injuries unfortunately so I'm not sure if it's true or not. There was an article that said he was fine for Round 1. I think it's alarm bells that he'll probably have a few rests...

Definitely! If only he didn't have such a dominant game last season.

I'm very keen to see his performance in the VFL practice game. Being "managed" does concern me though, as he has a lot of easier sides from Round 3-6 where I'd like him to play rather than miss to boost his score. Still one under consideration for me. 260k is reaching into midpricer territory...

Mills v Parish, there's no competition. Parish missing nab with a hamstring concern, Mills played all 3 and looked great in all of them. Should be locked in all serious sides.

Entertaining overview of the defs haha. Agree and disagree with some parts though. I do agree Laird seems like one of the standout picks in the defence this year, but I'm not sure whether he is one of the best options to start with the Crows tough start to the season. Assuming he does average...

Houli got a lot of cheap ball in the last quarter due to the lack of competition in the game late. I wouldn't be jumping on him based on the NAB, pick him if you rated him beforehand.

He'll be playing in the VFL without injuries to some of the senior guys ie: Baguley, Gwilt, Kelly, Dempsey I'd think. Think he'll be behind Tippa & Fantasia at the dons, but that's just my view. I'd love to hear what FBDonkey thinks. Definitely won't be used at centre bounces in the real games...

Interesting to see no Houli here, do you see Yarran really having an effect on his scoring?

By averages Boyd Shaw McVeigh Laird Bartel Birchall Simpson Houli Enright Rance Are my top 10. It's too hard to pick the top 10 by total points, you don't know who's going to miss how many games. But potentially the likes of Langdon, KK, Rich, Burgoyne, Sheridan could jump in on total points.

Only 2 elevations. Tippa should be one of them, the other out of Hams, Long and McKenna I would think.

I agree with you. Better to have a must have rookie over a speculative keeper. I will probably cut Sheridan if a must have 90 averaging 200k option like Cripps, Tyson of previous years pops up. I don't quite see those types at the moment. Wells is the closest at this stage and he hasn't even...

No Wells in this side haha. I have MacPherson and Tippa as basement rookies in this side too. I'm still shaky on this structure as it relies a lot on the likes of McCarthy/Menadue being definite best 22 starters. Hopefully they are! Wells adds that extra JS.
