Agree with this.

I think we all expect him to start first drop, behind Pendles, Adams and De Googs* - so plenty of mid time for him. May swap high fwd with JDG? I’ll be taking him if the price is right, sounds like he’s been training strongly as well.

Hopefully his arrival means we never see players like Cal Brown and old man Sidearse in the guts again.

The big factor is no more bucks - could (should!!) be a huge shift in opportunities / game plan - it will be interesting to see who of the following are heavily involved in the rotations: Crisp, Billy, Macrae, Daicos the Elder, Daicos the Younger, Maynard (?), Quaynor (?) and the rest (McInnes, Brown Jnr, first years)

*subject to various pending criminal investigations
De goey out surely makes Crisp a lock (if he wasn't already).

It'll be an interesting choice of Lippy, Daicos jnr and Macrae jnr.

Jnr Macrae looked better as the season progressed .....he's a natural possession gatherer like his brother, but likely too expensive & I normally stay away from 2nd year players

Will only be around $200k. That sub role kept his average down. Looked good in small bursts, just needs to get his fitness up.

Agree about second year players though, preseason watch for me.

I think the Pies will be a gold mine for rookies again this year.
They have a few decent kids and places seemingly open in there best 22.

Usually i like grabbing at least 1 mid-priced midfielder but i dont think ill do that this season. I like Serong/LDU/Cerra and maybe even Rowell/N.
Anderson but i feel like i can find more mid-pricers on other lines to start the season.

My midfield will look something like: Miller, Steele, Walsh, Petracca/Oliver, Neale & rookies. I dont want to drop any of those 5 which is completely different strategy to last season where i started with Wines, Simpkin & Noah Anderson. The first 2 i kept all year and Anderson i dropped at an OK time before he really stopped producing.

Anyway, my thinking is that ill go with a strong-ish backline and my forwardline will be really weak. Currently i think ill grab Young and 2 of Milera/Day/Sicily as my D4-6.

Rucks look really interesting to me this season. I think ill avoid Grundy but i dont know who to pick out of Big O/English/Darcy/NicNat (maybe). In all likelihood i start Gawn but even that isnt 100% locked in. Definitely will be interesting as i doubt everyone will lock and load Gawn & Grundy. That said, im not fully opposed to going with that combo as Grundy could well end up averaging more this year than last. It still seems a good 'safe' option so it will depend on how much risk im willing to take on as to whether i tempt fate and go for a 'value' option.

My forwardline may end up something like: Marshall, Thomas, Rayner, JHF & 2 other rookies. It definitely looks weak on paper and i may end up downgrading a mid-priced defender in order to upgrade one of my 3 forwardline rookies but currently it looks like we should be able to start with at least 2 rookies on field in the forwardline.

So my team will look something like:

Lloyd, Stewart, Ridley, Young, Sicily, Day (2 rookies)
Miller, Oliver, Steele, Walsh, Neale, 3 Rookies (3 rookies)
Gawn, Darcy (Comben)
Marshall, T.Thomas, Rayner, JHF, 2 Rookies (2 rookies)
 
I went and checked. It was 122 last year including the mid season draft pick ups.

Yeah slowly getting more and more each year.

Yes I got that part 😛

Not a big deal given most of that number aren't SC relevant.

We need some fluff pieces about specific players positions.
That is a pretty big jump in total. When you consider this year mid season draft/SSP guys haven't been added yet.
I expect the DPP article to pop up soon. Players that gain it and players that lose it.

Suspect thats bad news for Crisp and/or De Goey

Doesn't look promising.

But hopefully able to retain Marshall, Dunkley, Dusty, etc as their teams have a decent amount.

Going off this years magic number he will be priced at very close to 320k.
 
Should be about $275k if (and it's a big if) he gets the full 30% discount. Might be worth the risk.

I'll probably go for Coleman @ $250k, don't want too many from the same team.
Where do you get that price from?
Off my calcs he will get a 30% discount on his 2020 adjusted avg of 67.8 which will have him priced at 363k going off this years magic number.
Coleman I have at 312k which I still like if he maintains the half back role he had during the finals

Rayner start price 2021 ($392,900) / 2020 average (73.1) = 5374.83 (magic number for 2021 starting prices)

30% discount $392,900 * 0.7 = $275,030. As mentioned earlier, don't hold your breath on him getting the full discount, it often doesn't happen.

FYI Macrae jnr 5374.83 * 38 (2021 average) = $204,243 so cheaper than Daicos will be. If he's getting a decent run in the mid's I'll take him at that price over a first year player like Ward.

The magic number will be different, but that is where everyone is getting these prices from. They probably won't be far off.
