He could be your new prince.

Oh Lolmumba, the nightmares.

He could be your new prince.

never started with that scrub, those who did were silly imo, only 1 season averaging in the 80s

 

[eDPS]

Some position changes for Essendon players next year I expect to happen.

Z Merrett (MID)
Goddard (MID/DEF)
Hooker (FOR/DEF)
Fantasia (FOR)
Ambrose (DEF/FOR)
Langford (MID/FOR)
Hams (FOR)
McKenna (DEF/FOR)
Francis (DEF/FOR)

I still don't know what possessed me to pick the clown prince.

Not one of my brighter moments.

Roughead was a good pick
Roughead was a good pick.

 

[Aishole]

providing jeremy howe trains during pre season in the defensive role he has been playing this year, he will be locked in defence.
Also will look at tay adams if he gains DEF/MID status

 

[enobrien]

Dusty and Cotch the only relevant Tigs players next year I feel, and if Dusty goes to MID only, both will be speculative picks.

Rance a bit underwhelming this year, but still solid.

Yarran?

Yarran?

Will be a wait and see type in NAB. Will he ever get on the park?

If the tigers can get another lockdown key back.
Rance will up and about again in SC scoring.
Chaplin helped free Rance up abit IMHO.

 

[freddy mercury]

Heppell and Fyfe are my only locks right now.

 

[freddy mercury]

RIP to Dusty and his FWD/MID

 

[freddy mercury]

Heppell at 505.5k, yes please.

I will go 460-500k

 

[stevebbb]

I will go 460-500k

Do you really think they will drop their starting price after being banned for a year? I highly doubt they will...

They will be priced at their 2015 average imo

If they decide to drop their starting price (like they do with injured players), then I'll start with Hibberd, Hooker, Hurley and Heppell lol

Doubtful. When players miss a season through injury their prices are changed. Would expect to see the same thing.

RIP to Dusty and his FWD/MID

He should've lost it last year really

Swannie used to play a heap more forward back in say 2012 and he never got DPP because he averaged too much

Well, I won't complain...

Hibberd, Hooker (def/fwd?), Hurley (def/fwd?), Ryder (ruck/fwd?) and Heppell will be all way unders for their potential

I'll be starting with Lids.

I was thinking Adams might get MID/DEF next year, but he's played in the middle a lot recently hasn't he? Doubt it'll happen now.



Could we have Goddard as a DEF again next year?

Thurlow will be the big midpricer everyone gets on if he's alive round 1.

 

[enobrien]

I'll be starting with Lids.

Really? I'm surprised by that. Could he get DEF/FWD?

Can't play a full season anymore, consistency is key

 

[Seymour Skinner]

When he isn't dead he's the best fwd scorer, really doubt we're gonna have safe picks like Dusty, Zorko or ZMerrett there next year.

Lids, Bennell, maybe Gray at a stretch. Ryder/Tippett would be viable. Who else are we gonna have?

Edit: Forgot Dahl.

Zorko, Buddy, Lycett (gun), Lynch, GAJ

If we're talking about taking FWD status off Dusty and Zorko then every chance Dahls is gone too.

Hes been chopping and changing. Dont think he played much there the last 2 rounds, but before that i think he was pinch hitting there

 

[kane22]

Tom Lynch will be a lock for me next year hopefully for him he can get better delivery and with natural progression i can see him averaging 100!

 

[Broar]

Anyone wanna have a guess at what Beams will be priced at?
