wilson prob as well, he's bulked up for it seemingly.

He does seem a bit chunky to be just playing wing.

 

[St Steady]

Isn't Wilson the fittest guy in the world? Why do they always try to turn these guys into inside mids? Just let him run up and down the wing all day cooking his oppo.

ya agree

i was the old school centreman type when i played, and wings were like butterflies, they'd float effortlessly up and down in their corridor, and always be there as your outlet running into space or cutting angles in front of your eyes

he still wins all the running stuff so hopefully he just ends up beast mode like a kouta or something

They just give it to NAS, no matter where he is. Any time, any place, give it to NAS

They give Nas all the balls to take home after training and he brings them back for the next session.

Heeney is such a stud. I'm massive on going him over Gulden this season. Huge ceiling.

I love having Heeney in my team, but Gulden is good player for the new rules

is going nowhere near my team, had him all of last season and is a horrible player to own. Super frustrating watching him consistently go whole quarters without scoring. Can't remember what game it was last year where he has zero touches in the last q.

I remember that game well - he was my captain, uninjured and sitting there laughing at my SC team

Who cares if he has low-scoring quarters. You don't score in quarters. You score in whole games- check the score at the end of the game.
Scoring 25,25,25,25 or 0,50,0,50 are both 100s

Because if players a prone to quiet quarters if they don't hit the highs in the big ones their scores are shite

 

[Lemma]

Ok sure but is Dawson in that category?
What are we calling big? Dawson went 120+ 8 times last year

That isn't that many Rowell went 120+ 14 times Bont missed 6 weeks and did it 13

Dawson is a fine player but he isn't worth starting,

His role varies which limits his scoring and if he isn't on ball he doesn't impact games as much

You don't want players who you have to rely on having massive quarters to have a big score. Dawson has the ability to have some shocking scores. For a starter you don't want that.

Yep, cant remember many yrs where Dawson didnt drop to a bargain price. Historically a fine player to trade in

Yep....maybe after the dreaded Rd12 Bye.....

521k in 2025, 473k in 2024, 573k in 2023. Obviously that doesn't paint the whole story and things need to line up but he definitely bottoms out.

 

[Lord De Goey]

Dawson as an upgrade in round 8 (first showdown) would be ideal. You then get port x2, tigers x2, pies, eagles, dees, dons and the suns all teams he scores well against

Dawson has the R12 bye, makes it hard to trade him in then.

Fair point, you’d miss Port, tigers north but he still wouldn’t be the worst post bye trade in

Yeah not bad, Crows always seem to have a great draw. All the hard teams at AO (and Richmond).

Crows midfield is a worry, wasn't good enough last year. Does Nicks finally grow a brain and play Dawson full time mid? Also by that point Curtin will be back and Sid the Kid should be fit. Sounds like a great chance to "rest" Dawson at full forward, right Nicksy?

With 10 teams playing Rd 0 I feel like I'm being forced into a few mid premos with an early bye. Adding that to a Flanders / Treloar / 2nd ruck with a bye and it's a bit messy.

How many premo mids with an early bye are teams looking at currently?

2 Bont + Rowell

1 Daicos

Only guy above 500k with early bye.

English, Walsh or Blakey may make the cut though.
