I've seen Jack Steven in a few teams. 3300 points maximum allocated per game. In the overwhelming majority of games the winning side doesn't take more than 2000 points worth of that.

Danger
Duncan
Stewart
GAJ
Dollhouse
Jelwood
Menegola
Steven

That's a lot of quality to share points. Last year Jelwood and Menegola dropped their averages significantly. I understand Tim Kelly has gone but Steven won't take all his points given his exceptional quality. I'd suggest that will see Jelwood or Menegola pick up a bit more slack.

Ned McHenry, getting a lot of publicity in Adelaide
“My back got to the stage where I coudn’t perform at the level I wanted or the club expected of me, so we made the decision to try to get it right,’’ McHenry told The Advertiser after the squad’s final pre-Christmas training session in 40-degree heat at West Lakes.
“There wasn’t too much structurally wrong, I was just sore in the lower back region, so we decided to give it a rest and then strengthen the core muscles to support the back.
“Our club medical staff was brilliant with that. I was put on strength programs, including advanced core movements, abdominal roll downs and side movements, to strengthen the core region.
McHenry has hardly missed a beat in the pre-season.
He has continued to work at strengthening his core muscles and has added 2kg of muscle to tip the scales at 75.5kg, having arrived at West Lakes at 70kg.
Ultimately, he wants to get to 80kg.
The only training session McHenry missed was the last one on December 19, due to “general soreness’’.
“I’ve had almost 100 per cent training completion, which has been nice,’’ he said.

Piss off Peeney.

Absolutely no chance i'll be rushing to put your stupid, frustrating ass in my team this year.

Guaranteed 95 Ave sure, but also guaranteed to plunge in price at some point as well. I'll pick him up on when he's cheap for once.
 
I wouldn’t pick him, but our track watches are saying Dunkley is the only person going as well as Wallis is. He has the ability to go 95+. Underpriced.
Am aware everyone is killing it this time of year tho.
 
Jye Simpkin in for a breakout...maybe thinking of this cause of my bias

Thoughts on “THE CHAD”

Was better when he returned in the back half of the season and we played him more mid, averaging 87.3 for the last 7 games. At $412k, I'm seriously considering him as he seems to be getting through the pre-season far better this year. So, hopefully he is injury free and gets back around the 95 average mark on the season.

Mitchell returning shouldn't affect him too much as we need a Chad type in the centre square to off-set the Mitchell/Worpel/Jaeger/Shiels combo's, with his acceleration and evasiveness.

For me, it will come down to Chad in the forwards or a Hunter Clark type in defence, depending on rookies available on each line.

Any idea out of Hawthorn where they're planning on playing him? Wingard as a midfielder is a decent option, but like Walters, when they're playing forward they're too hit and miss.

Nothing concrete yet, so he is a watch during the rest of pre-season for now. However, he had a bigger impact when he was given more centre square opportunity in the last few games in 2019, so hopefully that continues this year.
 
You can all scratch Buddy off your list, he's had surgery on his knee and in doubt for round 1.

And anyone silly enough to have had Peeney hits the delete team button...

Anyone taking Buddy over Tigers' Tom Lynch in the first place needs their head read.

Actually, just swapping out Dusty for Lynch myself now ...
 
Jeez, some shocking advice gets handed out on BF. Heeney was my first picked FWD when SC opened.

As you said, some shocking advice gets handed out....

Of those FWD eligible in 2020 he was top 6 (Whitfield, Walters, Martin, GAJ, Heeney, Greene) by AVG and was top 3 by total points (Martin, Walters, Heeney).

This is despite playing with a bad ankle and being forced forward more often then preferred due to team injuries.

Prior to last year he posted 97.5 and 97.4 and is slightly underpriced based on last year's 94.

Please, tell me why you think starting this young proven scorer who should spend more time in the midfield is a bad start?

Whitfield is injury prone and without much upside, will also have more points taken from him with returning GWS players

Martin has had his SC scores decline by 15 and a further 4 points in the last two years.

Walters is injury prone and an uncertain role

GAJ is too old, with an uncertain role and injury history.

Greene hasn't played more than 16 games since 2016.

Heeney is priced at his downside with considerable upside. But please, go telling people he's a shit pick because playing 22 games at a 94 average "burned you" last year lmao. He's going to be top 6 this year with a top 10 effort at worse.

Perfectly fine pick

I thought you would have been around these parts long enough to know that 95% of my posts are not meant to be taken seriously and the other 5% are me trying to get people to post puppies.

Either way, good luck with whoever you pick.
