I'd go Brad. He's a much bigger risk but he's 60k cheaper and I think he's the better footballer. Just crossing my fingers and hoping he stays on the park!

The latter for mine - js and a fair NAB/PS. I might risk Brad in RDT, methinks.
If you believe in Duncan and Parker, go the first option.
I'm not convinced by either so I'd be going the second option.
Despite being huge in Duncan I think the 2nd option is probably the best way to go.
I don't believe he can get rid of those ~60 games due to his poor tackle numbers.

Shiel looks like he can get to the heights Selwood has already been.
With that being said, I'm on the Shiel wagon.

Baguley V McGovern V Johanissen ??
Love McGovern and think McKenzie will free him from the lock down roles. Will average more than 2015 and might be top 10 if an arm doesn't fall off.
Baguley is primed for a break-out and the ball will be in his half an awful lot, especially if the Bombers keep playing the "chip around the backline until you turn it over and give up an easy goal" they played through 2015 and this year's NAB. Very highly regarded at the Bombers.
Johanissen will go well the first 7 games at Etihad, but the question is what you do with him after that stretch? If he averages 100 over that period do you have the balls to trade him out after that when he might only average 75 over the next 7 games?? Then the Dogs are back at Etihad for rounds 20-22 which is useful for finals.

Crouch. It would be a closer contest if there weren't so many back rookies and so few mid rookies. His scoring history is easy on the eyes too.
But since we're here option two for me by a fair way. Feel Gawn is a solid but not spectacular pick and a few other rucks I prefer. Parker again solid but there a fair few others who seem like safer picks to be top level primos in the mids. Duncan - not one if the two Cats mids I really want. Just feels like too much speculation with these picks. One by themselves - fine. All three together is hoping for too much.
