Defence is an exception if no decent rookies with JS come up IMHO.

I dont agree with that. The lack of rookie options doesn't make mid pricers (in this case 200-400K) any better than any other year. They are still a risk, and it's probably not a good idea to be taking too many on the same line.

Plenty of good options in the backline, as long as your only expecting a 90+ average.

The simple fact is, there are not many mid priced players that take the step every year. Looking at players coming back from injury is a safer bet, but otherwise its not really a choice based on anything but hope. Unless you are truley confident they can step up, then dont pick them, and dont lie to yourself so you can save a bit of coin.

Jaensch did it last year, I think there will be another Jaensch, but 5 is too many. Picking 1-2 might be okay as you'll have the option to sideways to whichever one emerges. A lot jumped on Jaensch before his first price rise. I think we will end up with a few decent rookies too. Dalgleish will be a good option (bans pending) and Richmond fielded a near full strength team (I think?) against Port so McIntosh is right in the mix. Hamling/Goddard/Saad should be there abouts too.

There will always be one, but not many more, especially from the same line.

Only a handful out of the Tiges side but I don't think McIntosh will be in the mix for round 1. He'd have to have another solid game in the next NAB game to even be considered.

They already had 2 back men out in Astbury and Newman and we're very impressed with Elton in NAB 1 who I'd think would be above him in the pecking order.

Newton, less vest likely and better JS IMO

Cripps isn't a vest candidate IMHO. Definitely not green vest at least. Possibly red vest, if injured or being towelled up but there are others who would be red vested before him, since our midfield doesn't run deep as it is.
 
Griffen vs Wines vs Swallow vs Neale
And reasoning plz

Swallow - 115 average (possibly bias but playing in a potential top 4 side although this is dependant on his DE)
Neale - 105-110 average
Griffen - 105-110 average
Wines - 100 average (overhyped imo)

Fair point, its probably a toss of a coin. From what I've seen Newtons been good, and didn't see Cripps today so cant judge. Think Cripps will be a better player but Newton has more years in the system and worse team with worse midfield is my only reason I'd pick him

Cheers, but think Swallow is a bit of a stretch. Also think Wines should definitely increase average due to his sheer quality and has also lost a few KGs to improve his fitness which should mean more points- just not sure if he can increase enough for me to want to start with him.
They all should average between 100-115 so not sure who to start with, leaning towards Griffen/Swallow...

R.Henderson v K.Jaksch

Jaksch may improve scoring in a new set up maybe playing loose?
Hendo gets alot of it and generally a good user, but Walsh seems very much about contested ball and to put it mildly Henderson has never been a fan of the hard stuff, so may be in and out of 22.
