Oliver (if fit) > Petracca > Merrett > SteeleSteele vs Oliver vs Petracca vs Merrett.
I actually have Petracca atm over Oliver just because he hasn't had any issues this pre season so far.

This is a key point. Playing 22 games is almost the most important thing with starting picks imo. Macrae, Bont, Petracca. All very durable. Neale usually is too.

Feel like Petracca can improve, where Piggy is probably priced at his maximum. Both guns. Both top 10 mids this year.

Yep he's another. Contract year too so should be motivated.

1st option, assuming Heppell gets through the preseason matches and looks good
Leaning towards Trac. Looks even fitter now, will get bulk midfield minutes then rest forward and kick goalsSteele vs Oliver vs Petracca vs Merrett.
Lloyd and Taranto. Just think Lloyd is a SC God that you need
ROB
Rozee vs Caldwell vs Rankins vs T.Phillips.

My only worry with Merrett is that McGrath went out injured and he went bang. When he played inside towards the end of the year he was pig like. But Before that he was getting there but starting a lot out on the wing. I want my mid premos around the ball all the time without worry
It’s why Neale titch Oliver are such easy picks because they’re basically permanent rovers. Guys like Bont who was moved around from the forwardline to mid basically the whole first half of last year, jelly who swaps between roving and wing and Merrett who’s the same as jelly can be frustrating as owners. Fyfe was the same last year, when they wasted him forward it was very annoying as the dockers didn’t get it to him often enough.
I’m not worried about guys like danger and trac forward this year cause they kick goals and are dominant inside types and I expect both Melbourne and geelong to be playing finals which means bigger goal tallies.
just my thinking anyway. I feel Rowell fits into that permanent Neale type midfielder too which is why he’s an enticing starting option.

Less popular option
Rob and Stewart
rob great early draw only need him for 8 weeks before he becomes Grundy. Wastes a trade though
Stewart love this man. Mr consistent. Constantly in the top 3-5 scorers for the cats every week without fail. High high floor
Vs
More popular option
Grundy and Williams
Williams body worries me and it’s frustrating watching he and Heeney constantly picking up niggles in games but starting as an inside mid as the 3rd wheel will free him up to pig out.
Grundy looked pox towards the end of last year compared to normal, yet somehow still was pulling 100’s. Surely gets back to a bit of freedom with weeks between games rather the 3/4 days

I'm toying with no Zilliams, as you say he's an injury magnet. Does score well though.
I think after Preuss and Marshall going down you really have to have Gawndy. You will be losing points every week without them, plus they are the safest captain options. Sometimes in SC you have play defence and take the popular players.
