Doing draft for the first time and have 1st pick in a 12 team draft (no captains):
Bont v English v Daicos

Is it a multi-year draft league? Daicos

No, 1 year only

No, 1 year only

Might be a tad biased but Daicos narrowly over Bont. English too dependant on whether Lobb and/or Darcy play and get ruck time.

Do you think the extra game that Bont plays adds extra weight?

Yes it does. I don't play draft so I didn't really consider the bye factor. Probably go with Bont.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

I'm Starting to think McKercher M6, Sanders M7 and Hustwaite M8 could be the best structure for the mids. I think all 3 will score well enough.

Same I’m working to that

Touk @ M4

Sheezel @ D3

Already got stupid sexy Flanders.

Touk has Uber scoring history with a shizen bye.

Sheezel looks like he will have a similar role to last season.

Good question, it's close. Sheez you sort of know what to expect assuming he keeps roaming around HB like he has in the PS games. Touk has more upside but also more uncertainty around role with a new coach and game plan plus obvs the bye.

I think a Rd 0 watch on Touk will help decide

Hustwait, just the two games in his career .....and I was super impressed with Lazzaro in his last game

 

[Dundalis]

For keeper draft league, who should I drop, Wanganeen-Milera, Keidean Coleman or Himmelberg?

Gulden & Jack Macrae (if fit)

Gulden and Macrae IMO. While Bont is obviously a brilliant captaincy option, I think there's too much value in the mids this year to justify blowing $725k on the one player (though I've been back and forth on this). He's the best player in the comp, but he's only went over 120 for a season once, and the Dogs have a bit more depth in the middle this year, so I think he might come back to the pack a little as a result of spending a bit more time forward.

Don't love Adams as a pick – just misses too many games to be a keeper, and he's more expensive than a stepping stone should really be. Plenty of mid-priced options up forward who are better value imo.

 

[Scythe]

That being said, Bont's early fixture scares me a bit as a potential non-owner.

why would he spend more time forward now we have Naughton, JUH, Lobb/Darcy while Harmes and Sanders are likely to play HHF roles.
He is not required forward and is our best mid.

I just look at the midfield spread – between Bont, Libba, Treloar, Macrae, Harmes and Sanders, there's a lot of guys who'll be getting some CBAs. Not saying he's going to be a perma-forward or anything, just that his CBAs might drop just a little, which could impact his scoring (129 avg from 81% CBAs last year, 116 from 58% the year prior).

He's a completely viable pick and will need to be in everyone's teams by the end of the year, but $725k is a huge price to pay when there's a lot of value in the mids this year.

Not having Bont v Eagles in round 3 doesnt sound fun at all

2022 we still had Dunkley, didn't have Lobb, JUH was still a pup and Josh Bruce was out with an ACL

he may lose a small % of CBA's but not sure that kills his scoring

there is no doubt he will drop in price - the magic number dropping over time makes that a given. It will be more a question of are you able to bring him in when it does?

All reasonable points. It's just a hard ask blowing $725k on a guy who's been over 120 for a season once in 10 years when there's so much value in the middle this year (and a high MN), even if he is an extraordinary player.

With 40 trades, trading him in is a bit of an easier prospect imo.

But anyway, just food for thought. I'm not going to keep doubling-down, or else I'm going to lock myself into passing him up, which is not something I'm ready to do just yet haha.

[LuvtheKangas]

I've had Zerrett since SC opened because he's a gun. But now wavering on whether I've chosen the right Essendon mid. So:

Zerrett or Parish?
