Really? Josh Dunkley was talking them both up to the media just two weeks ago and said team selection was going to be difficult with those two beating down the door. Maybe he was exaggerating...
Ashcroft is still in the rehab group as far as I'm aware, and while Marshall is our new king of distance running, he's got way to many wings and mids ahead of him to crack the best 22 early on this year.
I think if you list 57, you need to list 100.
The likes of Houston, Moore, Treacy, Miller, Holmes, Kelly just to name a few - if you're including Rampe and Ryan.

That's interesting. Ashcroft and Marshall were obviously going to be seen by all recruiters due to playing in Melbourne every week. So perhaps they knew their points situation was going to get ugly if Gallop also received similar levels of national exposure? I guess time will tell. I've heard...
I love it too. Had him marked down from last season, but I’ve deliberately stayed well away from OR players. I reckon those extra points in the early rounds will be crucial.
Only taken two premos that play OR - Matt Roberts and Bazlenka - and one rookie - Ashcroft.
Thought I'd have a crack at our opening round team based on what I've seen and read so far. We'll see how this changes through the next three weeks...
Only including those who played a full game on Friday.

Where were you when I had pick 1 and ended up selecting Jack Martin, that draft’s Smith/Ashcroft based on his draft report? 😂
I would’ve jumped at the chance to take a young Luke Shuey or Dustin Martin for that pick.. let alone the other condiments 😅
I mean, you do have Serong or Rozee to work...
...signs anymore, at 22 he's an adult in footy terms and must contribute fully. I know it's probably not the fairest comparison but WillAshcroft is a year and a half younger and already has a Norm Smith after doing an acl. So if Sheldrick still ain't getting picked I feel as fans we may have...
Thanks for the table, very useful.
I'd add Cleary, perhaps even as a probable, as far as the Swans are concerned. He's more likely than Corey Warner to get games early, perhaps more likely than Sheldrick too.
I hope Sheldrick gets an early look, but I suspect Cleary's ahead because he's shown...
I assume the main reason for that rule change was to bring the academy and F/S rules in line with one another. For example, Brisbane wouldn't have been able to match two top 12 bids on F/S prospects (Ashcroft & Fletcher) in 2022 had the F/S rule been the same as the academy rules at the time...
I have Ashcroft at the moment but I’m still 50/50 on if I start him.
How many teams have 3 mids average 100+? It’s safe to assume Neale and Dunkley will. I don’t think Brisbane have had 3 do it since maybe 2019? Heard that on a podcast so I could be wrong but these are the teams around the...
This is a staggering injury list for any time of the season, let alone February.
Just making finals this season will be a monumental achievement from here given the amount of blokes who will be underdone AND their calibre.
Feedback, additions and fact checking welcome. Extra points if you can link to some source material.
Let the debate begin.

Math looks correct to me. Which still means you can take players on an early bye who you want to trade out in near future (rookies & mid pricers) because of their inbuilt cash rise from Rd0 game (offsets the points loss on the round they have their bye). There is no benefit to starting a premium...
Can't really expect a bench rookie to go 70 though. And if they go 55 and are in the bottom 4 they wont even count which means its the full 5 points of average.
EDIT: I think you're right actually, for example if i go two players same price going 107 avg.
My bottom 4 will be for example...
Ashcroft, Dunkley, Andrews, Berry, Bailey, Morris, Lohmann all grand final players
You could include Day, Joyce & Reville all capable AFL level players.
Thanks GH, if we r playing Geelong next week, would Day or Ryan get the nod given Smith nor Loyd are not sighted in praccy?Did either forward get a run in the ruck?
