I currently have Hibberd at D4. I'm not yet convinced on him and want to see his role in JLT. If not Hibberd I'll be looking at Hartlett but with the Vlastuin news I'll be keeping an eye on him.
I've always thought Hibberd is more a DT pick than SC pick

Accumulator but doesn't always translate to SC points, similar to those outside mid types like Hunter and Gaff.

Keefe is about 25k too much, but if he's guaranteed games he may be worth a look at D6, depending on what else is out there in rookie land, particularly if he can sneak some ruck time in.
You've spelled his name incorrectly which is a sin on the Pies board.

FFS It's Quayphe!

Never looked like a ruck or fwd to me anyway.
 
Not much talk about Vince. Consistent bugger, great disposal... can see him replicating Boyds role and form from last year off half back. Any dees fan care to comment?

Had a slow end to the year. I believe playing injured. I'm also interested in him this year. Could see him playing more midfield time although wouldn't surprise me if he did play back a little to. Hibberd coming in fills that role though.
He is definitely worth watching in JLT.

With vlastuin confirmed as playing purely midfield next year I think he has to be considered
NOTHING is ever confirmed nor lasts with Hardwick. I can confirm that.

That's not entirely true, Dimma said Vlas had to hone the defensive side of his game and that's why he's playing BP/HB.
He said that after he'd played about 6 AFL games.
He's still stuck in the back pocket, 74 games later.
That lasted :$

But for real tho I really wanna pick Vlas.
In his 3rd AFL game he scored 105, followed up by a 141, a 87 in a 5 goal loss then bagged 3 snags out of the middle against the Wet Toast for 108 points.
That's when Dimma decided we didn't need any more midfielders and that he'd make a pearler of a BP. What a bellend. Just put him back in the midfield you numpty.
 
My DEF at moment:
D1 - Docherty
D2 - JJ
D3 - Pittard
D4 - J. Thurlow
D5 - M. Scharenberg
D6 - Berry

Really like my first 3 picks, also will stick with Scharenberg assuming he plays some JLT & named Rnd1, Thurlow is an interesting one as he may play JLT but still might come back through VFL at start of season but he's there at moment for me, and Berry is just there at moment until JLT then we see how certain rookies are going :)

Curious as to how Vince gets more mid minutes?
Surely Brayshaw, Petracca, Clayton and other kids get more minutes beside Jones, Lewis and co before Vince gets any.

It's going to be interesting to see. It really won't surprise me if Petracca plays more forward still. Brayshaw will get more minutes and if Oliver is fit enough he will to.
I could see our midfield being
C - Lewis Jones Vince
R - Gawn Tyson Viney

The likes of Brayshaw Petracca and Oliver etc will rotate through. Anyway that's just my guess.
 
Vince suffers on all fronts I reckon. Hibberd will take points/disposals running off the back. Lewis entering their midfield, along with the natural progression of some of the young guns surely hurts his points/disposals out of the midfield as well. I really liked him as a pick when I heard he was D/M in 2016, but the more I think about it the more I just see him playing a good season, at around 85-90 which is a bust IMO. I just don't see the UPside.
