The Chad went past 100 in 11 of the last 16 games last year, with another score of 99 and two in the 80's. Played pretty deep in an average side. I don't think he'll let you down.
Jack Martin...if only he could stay on the park. He'll be a brilliant pick one day. Just wanna see a consistent stretch first.

Really tempted.
Will be watching closely this week. If he gets midfield time in the main season he has the potential to hit beast mode.
Risky but a lot of upside
I got him in 2014 just as he started his insane run of averaging 128 over the last 7 games. I had him for 6 of those and he won me a few finals and leagues. He is obviously value if he can do that again. But so is Hall. I'm not sure you can go wrong with either of them, both risky but massive upside.
I was looking at Harley but just not sure with new club and no pre season games plus off field issues
I know there were a couple of coaches interested in Edwards. Poor bugger has a suspected broken collarbone.
Menadue doing himself no harm. With other Tigers dropping like flies, he seems assured of a fair bit of game time going forward.
I was super keen on Sammy Gray as a smokey early, then he drifted out of my consideration by the start of NAB (was convinced of the downside by guys on the forum... Very valid points still) but I saw his good efforts 1st NAB, ignored it because it was in a weak midfield, 2nd NAB was an OK score of 80, but 3 free kicks against dropped that score hard, and dramatically more handballs than he usually has.
He's lead the clearances for Port in every single NAB game so far. Ball magnet in the SANFL and I really rate him to average 100+
Greene will be the main guy fighting to stop me picking Gray, but I'm very keen on Sammy.

Ditto, Matt.
Liked him as a smokey due to SANFL form and last few games in 2015.
NAB form just confirms that. Played as a full-time mid. Only real knock is disposal but CP and clearances really good, as is DT/SC ratio.
Locked in my team after tonight. Yes, Tigers not good but it is his role that has convinced me.
Lids 43% gametime and 60 points, that's with no clearances and playing forward. If anything people will get off him, got a knock on the jaw, doesn't bother me, showed yet again he scores pretty well with little/no midfield time and limited preseason.
It's harder to get Gray than I thought. 130k less and I wouldn't know what to do with it. Only thing I can think of is Rich down back, but I prefer Rich+Lids than Rance+Gray (for example)

Cheers for the match info may hold tight, i could be a bit leaner in the middle if i keep him but hey must take a risk somewhere why not there.
What do you think about downgrading Dusty to Gray? Dusty is a solid forward line pick but at his price might not be essential to start with?
My nagging worry with Gray is that I'm pretty sure I told myself I wouldn't be influenced by NAB form of players (apart from rooks and assessing the fitness of people coming back from injury). And if Gray had put in a sub par NAB would I be considering him ... despite all that I'm a bit tempted ... everyone keeps saying that Port have a soft draw and I have zero Port players at the mo.
to be honest their draw isn't mega soft. It''s soft if they get back to 2014 form, but based off 2015 they could have some tough games. The teams they play twice are Adelaide, Richmond, GWS, Melbourne and Brisbane Lions
They don't play any top 4 side twice but Adelaide, Richmond and GWS I'd probably rate higher than Port. Especially if Lobbe isn't going well
I think he's better for his price than Deledio is... I started without Dusty last year, had Bennell instead and it burned. I see value in Dusty, think he'll match Lids this year so if it's out of those two for who to drop for Gray then it'll be Deledio
I have calmed down a little on Gray since I initially saw his performance hahaha. Think I was a little excited, I won't try to push my team into a structure for one player, Greene has more history of the high end scoring and probably more reason to increase midfield time. Won't be pushed into a different structure to get him though if I still don't know what to do with the money (160k if I go down to Greene)
