There are a bunch of guys that could really be difference makers that are not being talked about at all because they've had quiet preseasons. The 3 at the top of that list for me are the Zork, Bont and Selwood. Pendles not far behind.

I've been playing 5 deep in the midfield since SC opened and I've finally pulled back to 4 at the expense of Fyfe. On the basis the LDU and Walsh may both end up being good picks.

Looking at my team, I'm not too afraid of going against the grain and not picking up any of the good rookies this week. I have cash generation at every spot on field (didn't start a doughnut). Duman looks like he might be worth a look next week too. And perhaps Tom Cole pumps out another good...

I'll have a similar amount of cash and will probably just wait for Zerrett next week.

Unstoppable force meets immovable object...

Agree. For those reasons I think he's a great POD. If he does live up to his SC potential he'll be very tricky to get in, particularly with the R14 bye.

In my team, in my team, in my team. Alternatively in the order you listed them. Sonny can go ultra-huge. McLean averaged 97 in the mids and Sicily averaged 91 down back. There's a chance Sicily gets to 95 if he can turn his down games into 60s and not 40s. I wouldn't be picking him as a...

Had him bolded on a shortlist for guys to think about at the end of last season. It's a big shame he isn't a defender, he might've had as high a pick % as Gawn! Anyways don't think the price point really works. He probably won't be a top 10 mid and he's too expensive to be a good stepping...

I don't, but he had 21 and a goal in a side that lost by 5 goals. Think it was just a down day. No mention of an injury on FF.

I have one thought: lock. Showed the most through the JLT of all the rookies. Always gotta pick those rookies IMO.

Love a bit of SC maths. Every round Danger misses and you field a rookie rather than a premium mid: ~50-70ppg The additional funds you free up switching Danger to another mid = roughly $150k = 10-15ppg. Which means in total every week Danger misses is around 70-90 ppg. Assuming he misses 1...

Stups Academy is here! ty Marcus and good luck all.

This is the first time in a while I've paid up front with my rucks and I'm not even tempted to go for a cheaper option (of course unless NicNat emerges as a legit option). Pretty bleak landscape if you ask me.

I've been playing 5+Cogs in the midfield all preseason. Just downgraded to 4+Cogs and everything feels much better. Too many good rookie midfielders to not go with 3 on field. The pricier ones I have are Brayshaw, Dow and Naughton.

No mention of Doedee? o_O Has a chance to be one of the best rookies.

Didn't have Heater all of last season. Now he's burned a bunch a people there is a good chance he becomes a big POD. But the POD status won't exist if he plays like this again in JLT2.

Cripps presents solid value, there are also a bunch of guys around the same price who you could argue for. I've opted for Coniglio because I don't think there's $100k between what they will output. I'm batting fairly deep with 5 other premiums in the mids (the man in my avatar was one, and may...

Stating the obvious here but the midfield is the only line where there are so many super-premos that going for a cheaper line of premos (110 av) leaves you vulnerable to missing out on the 115-120+ super premos. And you need every single one of the super premos if you want a chance at winning...

Team name: Stups Academy 2017 ranking: 829 Any other rankings before 2017: 16': 4126, 15': 5459, 14': 773, 13': 3774 SCC league in 2017 (if applicable): SCC #5 I believe Thanks as always Marcus (and Mark too!)

Lachie Neale's the one that got away for me. Absolute jet, but couldn't bring myself to wait the extra week and went with Bont instead. I would be trading Neale in above pretty much anyone else this round... think he's the perfect POD. The low score was in Adelaide when it was raining...
