What are you feeling/praying for in 2018 with DPP because it'll be a very entertaining season for selections after the abomination that was M/F in 2017.

What do you think is going to happen next year?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

The ones I'm hoping for are

Blakely D/M
BEllis D/M
Sicily F/D
Gunston F/D

Think Gray will just be F

Freako already ruled out Gaz, Rocky and Danger on twitter, all less than 25%, and you need 35% to get DPP.

Ellis had 9 touches last night in a big win.
Was he tagging Jelwood?

 

[Underarm]

Nankervis will probably lose DPP.

Nah just didn't get a stack of the pill.
I don't believe he was tagging him, but he was going with him at some contests, didn't have the run and carry he's had this year. But I think that might of been due to Vlas being wall and Geelong kicking the ball to him all game last night.



Anyone think Daniher might be worth a punt if he picks up F/R?

KPP but in a side that should improve and play lots at Etihad.

Big maybe for me although we might not have many other good options.

Looks like we won't have any Nank or Ryder like options next year. At this stage at least.
If he has a few stinkers i'd be willing to jump on, ideally with him becoming a R3/F7 loophole shenanigan players.

And loophole his arse like a boss

 

[stevebbb]

Brandon Ellis will get Def/Mid, and I'll probably lock him in at D3 straight off the back

 

[Flandersss]

Sexy Robbie M/F

That's all that matters.

TheOz

 

[G Mus]

Surely Bont will get forward/mid

Parked his ass in the square half of the season after everyone brought him in

 

[CrozaN]

Yeh if Bont isn't a mid/fwd ill be shocked....spent at least 45-50% forward in 2nd half of the year.

Pretty sure 35% and above in a position is the magic number for DPP.

 

[kotor]

Will Z.Jones keep back statues?? Could be a breakout contender

 

[pincrusher]

Will Z.Jones keep back statues?? Could be a breakout contender

what's a back statue??

 

[toxic]

I think he will keep def status

 

[Daniel McL]

Ellis or Vlastuin?

 

[kotor]

I think he will keep def status

Could easily average 90+!!

Can play and find it.

 

[toxic]

Too inconsistent for me.
At 330k was a good option
At 450k+ i reckon there will be better options

 

[bananatigz]

Ellis or Vlastuin?

Ellis plays a more SC friendly role, Vlastuin is on another level as a player though. Tough one.

 

[stevebbb]

since Vlastuin returned from injury in round 17:

he's averaged 19.9 touches, 8.6 marks and 96.3 SC pts

Will he gain MID DPP? Really want the DPP considering he'll be ~$420k

Played mid/fwd before his injury, down back since his return.

Probably has the % to get it you'd think

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Surely Bont will get forward/mid

Parked his ass in the square half of the season after everyone brought him in

And I still wouldn't pick the useless campaigner

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Champion data purpose set Traps.

Make all those shithouse mid pricers DPP and suddenly they become relevant and suck people in.

 

[Flandersss]

Hurry up 2018!

 

[CrozaN]

Hurry up 2018!

Agreed, the decision to pick Rocky or not will haunt me until round 1 lol

Especially if Rocky gets forward status!
