Agree. Reckon Trac could push him score wise next season. I’ll be interested in the % of teams picked. And trac 25k less.
Doubt a lot of people will have both in their team. I will though. Gawn best scorer then Tracc then Oliver. Dees top 3 scorers for 2021.

Has anyone ever finished a season with as many as 14 players from their Rd1 squad?

Normally only have 13 players that were meant to be keepers in my starting side, usually end up keeping 8-9 of them lol.
Last year 11/13 survived.
But 3 copped roughy manoeuvres with the arseload of trades we got gifted.
 
Mitch Duncan?

Priced at 103.

Non-injury average of 109.6.

Averaged a lazy 129.5 over his four AFL finals games, which of course aren't taken into account in his price. Gives him a full year average of 113.8 ppg.

If you take out the injury game and include his finals scores, he's 10 ppg underpriced.

Will have the added bonus of being unique, as his only bad score of last year came in the SC Grand Final which likely has him on a lot of never again lists 😛

I haven't seen him in too many other sides, but he's a lock in mine.

huh - he's about to turn 30 and his best SC season was 2017 when he averaged 109.8

he'll be just one of a number of players who average about the 105 mark

think there is much better value to be found

He's not a 120ppg mid though. His game is just too outside for SC, career average 6.8 Contested Possessions 3.4 tackles & 80% TOG is not what I look for in a SP Mid in this format. If he was a real ball magnet who plays 90%+ TOG he might be worth considering since he's a fairly good ball user, but he's a 25 possies a game outside mid who's never previously averaged 110+ in 11 seasons. He's priced at 103.6 which is only slightly unders for him given his record over the last few seasons. He is consistent though and is not a terrible pick by any means but he does have a ceiling in this format.

I totally agree with both of you blokes. If you were going to pick Duncan you might as well go for Yeo or Taranto who are much cheaper but get the contested possesions as well as outside will probably average very similar but are much cheaper.
 
He literally just did average 113 ppg last season though ...

I have no interest in his score in a game where he got injured in the first quarter. I do have interest in what he did in finals. Take out the irrelevant game and add in the relevant ones, it's a 113 ppg average.

Ah well, more Duncan for me 🙃

He had to score well in the finals though. A lot of the others went missing(especially in the GF)🤣
 
I'm locking in Neale, Oliver, Titch and Taranto

Neale is the new God Tier Ultra Premo
Oliver is the king of the pigs
Titch is the king accumulator, he'll benefit big time from the longer quarters. Can see him averaging 120-130 again
Taranto is an accumulator that will also benefit from the longer quarters. Assuming he has a good preseason after an injury riddled and poor season, I think he'll do very well at $450k

Next in line is Cripps and Rowell, just depends on who I can afford, how many premos I can pick up, where the rookies are, etc

Toranto to go from being on the cusp to actual premo in 2021?

Hope so. Think at the very least, if he stays fit, he'll get back to that 100-105 average, which is fine for a cheap M8

Yes I agree with Taranto at the moment I am torn between Taranto and Rowell at M5
 
Tracc looking lean. Why is he training with Boak though?



You'd be surprised how often players from opposition clubs train with each other.

Also Petracca to Port in 2022 confirmed
 
$678k was his lowest price until round 15. By then, the season is almost done.

But look at all those magnificent captain's scores.

Just neale before his greatest and lach him in!

Neale doing his best Gary Piglet impersonation.
Glad I jumped on him after the lockdown restart
in round 2.
Do you think he can keep it up?

Not a hope.

Remembering we are back to normal quarters this year, here's some crude guesstimates for Neale based on his tog and points from previous years. An average in the range of 116 to 125 looks like a fair prediction to me.

Agree with this. Neale at least 10 points over priced. Coming off the brownlow he's likely to be down on last year imo.
 
Matt Rowell is a lock for me.
 
Bulldog mids are a worry because they are sharing points between Macrae, Bont, Hunter, Trelor, Dunkley.Bailey Smith and Liberatore.

And helmet gets 100 most weeks. It's a lot of players sharing the points.

Are they all going to drop 10 points? Or will one them suffer more? Hard to say, I reckon macrae will drop the most.

Only one I'm keen on is dunkley as a forward.
