[enobrien]

Yeah. You'll still get yo keep your best performing one even if you get caught.

Load of bollocks.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Going on a youth policy next year.

No more old campaigners like Montagna, Boyd, Bartel, Ablett, etc.

+1.

See ya Gaz. Thanks for nothing.

 

[Flandersss]

First picked in every position for 2017:

Def: Docherty/Laird
Mid: Danger/Bont
Ruck: Gawn/Goldy
Fwd: Sexy Robbie (hopefully)/Zorko

 

[Hoges64]

Doc, Laird, JJ, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie
Danger, Bontempelli, Coniglio, Selwood, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie
Gawn, NicNat, Goetz (just kidding)
Dusty, Zorko, (if both keep FWD), Bennell, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie,

Bontempelli has actually played a lot of FWD time this year, hope he manages to somehow get DPP.

No more ****ing mid-pricers unless they're a guaranteed gun, a la Libba and Wells. (I realise the irony of that when I have included JJ but reckon he'll kill it next year, if not there's worse places for an 80 average.)

 

[reload141]

Doubt Prestia and Omeara will still be around next year to be honest.

Prestia is already as good as gone. Heard he has nominated Carlton as his club of choice.

Bombers are interested in Omeara.

Dem knees of Omeara... he seriously needs to leave that club and go to a club that has a real strength and conditioning program (insert doping joke for the Dons)

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Doch, Williams, Pittard, rook, rook, rook, rook, rook
Danger, Bont, Neale, Gray, rook, rook, rook, rook, rook, rook, rook
Gawn, Ryder, best loophole with DPP.
Zorko, Bennell, Tippett, Menzel, rook, rook, rook, rook

thinking this kind of setup for next year

Jimmy and Boyd have been pretty good.

True that,unsure about them next year it might be there last year both been guns for years and years.

No Fyfe, Beams or Rocky? All unders next year.

 

[Hoges64]

No Fyfe, Beams or Rocky? All unders next year.

Hard to say. Beams and Rocky have both shown their bodies aren't right.

Fyfe is a coin flip. Have to see where he's priced and whether it's worth the gamble.

Fyfe is a coin flip. Have to see where he's priced and whether it's worth the gamble.

Fyfe at anything under $600k is a no brainer imo. Beams is going to be not much over $400k either next season, madness to leave him out at that price. He's picked Bennell and Menzel, how many games have they played in comparison to Beams or Rocky? Much more speculative picks imo.

Didn't realise Beams could be that low.

At those prices, agreed. No-brainers.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Fyfe lock.
Hopefully Beams has a preseason and picked rd1.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

No Fyfe, Beams or Rocky? All unders next year.

true, not getting Rocky been burnt by him this year and previously.
Beams not going there, too unreliable

Fyfe will consider based on pre season.

gone Menzel because he has averaged 83 after 5 years out! will only get better the more he plays

Here's one grandpa stud I'll consider.

Beams has only played twice this season for scores of 93 and 66. This guy averaged 122 a few seasons ago as well as 115 and 113 in more recent seasons. Durability is a huge concern but at his projected price, he's gotta be selected.

[rocker_oz33]

Anyone reckon the crows can land a big fish in the mids?
I will be pretty kind on Sloane ,like I am every year love the way he goes about it.

 

[stevebbb]

We're assuming the banned players will be priced at their 2015 average, right?

Fatty Hibberd (at the Dees?) will be interesting at $440k
