So is the consensus:

Zilliams: If you think the body holds, must pick
Cripps: Spent time fwd due to absences, general squeeze on mid points due to goalfest
Walsh: Had a dirty night on the disposal, he's going to have those days.
Dow: Enough there to persevere with (role ok, CBAs OK, reasonable JS and hopefully 75-odd avg)

: Pricey, but will give output
Docherty: Seen in very few sides, probably deserves higher ownership %
Hunter: Acquitted himself OK, but Ryder return in the offing and Pittonet a lower tier first ruck - Hunter offers nothing over Flynn

Yeh, pretty much all of that

SK Webster not worth bothering with
Higgo sneaky 420k POD?
Highmore held his own, still half a chance

I didn't see the game.

50/50s on Cripps.
At this stage.

The question is do I pick both Doch and Williams....hmmm not sure.

Balta 150 tonight campaigners

Time for a Johnny walker me feels .

Players to watch tonight

Grundy
Howe
Sier

Dusty
Short
Dawkins

 

[Hack_Watts]

Thing with Cripps is I have him at M4 in my side.

Only option I'm bullish on at his price is Simpkin at $500,000. I'd love to have him in my side but have Green instead at M5.

There just isn't anyone else at Cripps price range with his upside so he is staying in my team.

Worse case scenario he is a bust and I trade him to Simpkin end of round 2 and Simpkin goes on to average 110.

Tim Kelly?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Players to watch tonight

Grundy
Howe
Sier

Dusty
Short
Dawkins

Oli Henry. Not seeing him mentioned a lot on here so hoping he becomes a POD rookie like Grian Miers was for me two years ago.

Willy Kelly.

Every wookie.

 

[nameless]

I moved Cripps to Gaff ( 3 year 107 avg).

But Cripps could easy go 108.

POD Serong at M5

I also wouldn't mind having different players I've never had before .

I remember reading some tips from a previous winner of SC that the 'boring' premos are often the best.

He'd always pick Priddis, would get you 100 each week, occasional 120, but very little variance and ultra reliable.

I think Gaff fits that pretty well, although probably more prone to a down game than Priddis, he's still ultra reliable and will ton up each week.

Who likes to be boring though, half the fun is riding your speculative picks who have never averaged over 80 in a season to become a 100+ avg keeper.

He's only in 4% of teams.

Soild option .

Gaff will love these new rules too. Quite capable of playing along the wing and through the guts all day, bloke is a running machine.

Oli Henry. Not seeing him mentioned a lot on here so hoping he becomes a POD rookie like Grian Miers was for me two years ago.

His brother was a decent cash cow back in his rookie year, played 21 games, 61 season ave, made 200k before Geelong's bye. Hopefully it runs in the family.

Ollie is a deadset gun, he'll have a licence to play up the ground too, will get his 10-15 and 5 marks or so, should bob up for a goal as well here and there. He's locked for me.

I rather the cats spend their early pick on him than.
Johnny-max Holmes.

I'm still mad about Miers.

His immediate family didn't even pick the bastard.

You and Gryan himself were probably the only owners.

You and Gryan himself were probably the only owners.

And I only picked him because I remember watching him dominate the TAC cup grand final and after a years apprenticeship in the VFL thought he was primed to make an instant impact.

Literally the only thing I did right in 2019.

 

[buttox]

any idea when tomorrows teams are announced?

You can still have crazy picks, but have a Gaff or someone just as your rock.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

any idea when tomorrows teams are announced?

Should be pretty soon you would think.
