Its hard to call, Lycett I was never a big fan of until last year, where he showed he was AFL standard. I went to a lot of WAFL games and watched him closely in his early years on our list, I was not that impressed to be honest. Cox carried the ruck last year for Nutnut (Ha, ha toxic classic) and him so he may burn out in the season so I would wait and see. Risky pick I think.
What role will scooter be playing this year tagging? or tagging on/off little bit interested in him.
Simmo said recently that he will be tagging when it's required as he's the best at the club at it. Puts me off a little, but he's usually the kind of tagger that tries to damage his opponent going the other way.
Especially when they make comments like ditching Sheed.!!!
In all seriousness Toxic, I'm very bullish on Sheed, and amongst the usual carnage of the season I think if I have Swallow as M8 I will be doing well. I realise he is not top ten, but if he gets back he will be a great M8 or make it easy to upgrade him. Thanks, but I'm keeping Sheed.
Upgrade?

Actually, I quite like this
Yeah 2 seasons 105 av not bad from a tagger type.
I really hope that Scooter plays the role he has shown he can do best and that's as a tagger that he can also get his own ball. Unfortunately this may not happen as he patches up too many areas in our midfield that we truly lack talent in. WCE are 2 years off from this talent showing itself unfortunately.
Thanks mate have taken on board, what do you think. I think Steele will play sooner rather than later, who would I swap him for? Have 100,000 left
Very similar to my own, so that's a good start, ha ha. I had Swallow at various stages, but I'm not convinced he can score more than 110 avg, which puts him out of that top range of midfielders you need? Personally I don't like the Rich pick either, it's a mid-price aversion thing. They rarely make enough cash or score enough points. Even if they start OK, then you have the dilemma of how long to keep them for. For me a rookie/true premo + cash combo is better than Rich/Swallow. Solid overall though.
Not too much to agonize over here, looks good.
nice team
Nothing to really tell you wrong.. Guns & Rookies.
Carlton at $2.45 are pretty good odds are my thoughts
Would be weary on rookies like Krakouer and Goddard and potentially even Vandenberg and Lambert not being named, have a back up plan. Also not a fan of Smith as a premium defender, thought he had some value at the start of pre-season but hasn't done much to suggest that he is a value pick during the pre-seaosn.
Yeah I'm very 50/50 on Smith. I have either Him, Simpson or Gibson in that spot. Who would you take?
Yarran has all the tools to be an absolute gun rebounding defender and last season was one of our better performed players, the problem I see with him is that he gets shut down too easily when targeted by opposing teams. Would love to take the punt on him but reckon it might be a bit risky but that's just my opinion. Is blossoming into a very important player though for our club.
Simmo for sustained consistency and durability.
Not going to lie, always a pleasure to sneak in a blue or too.
Absolutely!
