Worth noting the 3rd and 4th highest priced midfielders at Carlton are Kerridge and Graham, neither of whom would be guaranteed a spot in the side next year. Plenty of midfield opportunities for the likes of C Curnow.
Gibbs is gone but Kennedy, Cripps and Ed C will be available for the midfield. Will wait and see. May be attractive after Rd 12 bye, but Toby McLean equally so.

Anyone looked at Brendan Ah Chee? Had a very good season in the SANFL. Struggled to break into the Power side on a consistent basis but showed enough for WC to pick him up. There are openings there in the WC midfield. Only $255,100. I am considering.

I'm likely to take the risk. Especially if plenty of cheap rookie show up.

How did he score in SANFL games?

He’s got to be worth considering. Definitely on the JLT watchlist.
 
I couldn't find his SANFL SC stats anywhere but I'm fairly certain I read somewhere he avg. over 100 SC points last year. I'm happy to be corrected on that. If anyone knows where to find SANFL SC stats please confirm? Below are from the SEN Player ratings website. He had some shockers but also killed it at times. His games in the AFL are probably where he needs lift a cog or two but Simpson has stated there is an opening for an inside mid and Hinkley told him he was a required player.

Brendon AH CHEE
#41 Port Adelaide

Age: 24yr 0mth Games: 27 Born: Dec 21, 1993
Height: 188cm Weight: 88kg Position:
2017 Digest: Another Port player who needs to close the gap between best and worst. Needs a good start to re-establish himself in best 22.

2017 NAB Cup:

2017 Season
1 -
2 -
3 SANFL Easily Port’s best with 30 possessions and three goals. On the cusp of an AFL recall. -
4 SANFL Laid as many tackles (eight) as he had disposals. Big drop-off after a sterling Round One display. -
5 SANFL Back to his best with 21 disposals and tree majors. An elite talent at SANFL level. -
6 SANFL Only 15 disposals but competed well in the air and crashed in typically hard. -
7 SANFL In red-hot form. Monstered Sturt in the clinches with 25 disposals, nine clearances and two majors. -
8 GCS Back in the side and added some zip and defensive workrate as forward. Rewarded with a career-best three goals. 7
9 Bye.
10 Geel Got under the guard for 16 touches and a goal but was wasteful at times given only seven effective disposals. 4
11 Haw Stylish goal on stroke off half time and string throughout with six clearances and six inside-50. Getting better each week. 7
12 Ess Didn’t touch the Sherrin until second term and had no impact at all. 3
13 SANFL Bore in for 22 disposals and seven tackles but definitely wasn’t at his best. -
14 SANFL Bye. -
15 SANFL Tough afternoon but did plenty of good things with 24 possessions and four inside 50s. -
16 SANFL Chalked up 23 possessions and his bullocking clearance work, especially in the second term, floored the Crows. -
17 SANFL Port’s best in losing cause. Typically, tough on the ground and exciting aerially, finishing with 24 touches. -
18 SANFL Dynamic once again with three majors and 29 possessions. His third quarter was particularly sizzling. -
19 Bye.
20 SANFL Had 22 touches and six tackles and was enjoyed a massive second half. The Power could have used his grunt in Showdown disaster. -
21 Coll Returned to the side and didn’t disappoint with a goal and lots of creativity. 5
22 SANFL Set the tone early for the Pies in their big win. Belligerent in the midfield with 24 touches and two goals. -
23 SANFL Pushed the ball into attack constantly and dangerously, chalking up 27 disposals, six inside 50s. -
EF SANFL Atoned for a poor effort against Sturt with an outstanding, bullocking midfield display, chalking up 22 possessions.

Isn't being the second best player of the league good enough for you :eek:

DT scores on SANFL website on Match Day

Mitch Grigg is or was the best, so no, I'm not inspired.
I think Sneezy is fools gold, actually fools bronze

Yep coming 2nd to Mitch Grigg is nothing to get excited about. He'll have to improve his consistency a lot to keep his spot in the midfield.
 
Ah Chee is locked in at F4 atm.

Better chance he’ll score more than Harley due to being parked in the fwd line. I’m expecting 85+ from sneeze.
Have Lobb as my F4 currently, with Harley at F5 .......if fit, you'd expect more games from Bennell, hopefully as a midfielder

Ah Chee is basically an expensive Rookie IMO .......Bennell is a proven 100+ SC player when fit
 
Do other people think that if you're going to take a punt on not having Danger from the start as he'll drop in price due to Ablett that you're better off going full-on mid-price madness?

If you're wrong you ditch a couple of your lower performing mid-pricers for Danger and a starting rookie you missed - relatively unscathed trade-wise and probably not lost out too much on scoring as mid-pricer teams tend to have an advantage in the first few weeks I think (haven't done the maths on that).

Looking for a reason to go mid-price madness to be honest as I find supercoach a whole heap more fun that way. Last year went ok for it too, although petered out a bit towards the end - poor mid season trades rather than starting mid-price though.

People try this argument every year regarding last seasons best player and it rarely works as you can back it in 90% of the teams in your leagues will have him and utilize the VC/C on him leaving you buggered and behind the 8 ball from day 1.

Once this happens everyone tries to scamper to make the $$ to bring them in and burn 2 trades in doing so!

Ablett in his prime / Now Danger etc are just always first picked for me and then structure a team around them cause unless injury hits it burns you big time not having them IMO as they rarely drop that much and price moves do not even come into until Rd3 and in that time you could be missing out on massive points especially as Captain etc.

Just my 2c.
