Richard Douglas, 0.48%. Just think it’s going to be his year. Last ditch crack at a Brownlow and a premiership, could average 125 easy.

Nah it's Adam Treloar for me. 9.26%
A it of trolling there...should I start on Steven Motlop?

What’s the thoughts on Houli this year? Clearly underpriced after the last two seasons in the 90s.

Considering crisp to Houli
Newnes to Billings

Just depends how trustworthy Houli is as a place holder for while

I would just leave it as is. I just think Billings is a huge mystery, as well as Newnes. But Newnes is also a cheaper mystery. I dont see Billings really being worth the risk. Newnes definitely could be
 
He's basically an expensive rookie with a down payment.. if he plays 8 weeks he gets to 450-480k and you can upgrade him (meanwhile your 170k guys will still be 300-350k at that stage)
The 170K guys hopefully have realised more profit than Elliott and the extra 200K could have been to used advantage elsewhere. There are many good mid pricers but if there is an enticing rookie you have to take it.

It's all about the quality of the rookies
 
I especially like how people say his brownlow finish makes him more susceptible to a tag.

Like the coaches who let him free on the way to that result will suddenly react to the umpires rating of him over their own previous judgement.
Well, I expect him to be tagged but his Brownlow finish doesn't influence me or the opposition coaches I'm sure.

It's just simply he is dangerous will be easier to stop than Oliver. We saw him tagged once and he was dismal.

When was he tagged?
 
Speaking of ownership %, I'm interested to see who is everyone's most unique midfielder. It's Mrouch for me, at just 10%. That's astounding for a bloke who average 119 in his last 5
Bit surprised the north 5 are all under 0.9%
Hall, Higgins, Polec, Ahern & Ziebell.

My midfield
28%, 20%, 9%, 9%

13%, 38%, 58%, 13%

The 9% are Treloar & Taranto M3/M4
 
How many rookies are we all running with in the forward line? I’ve got 3 Setterfield, Drew and Parker. But not confident wouldn’t mind trying to get it to two but not keen on mid priced forwards this year....

I’m running 2. Would prefer it being 1 but that makes my team too mid price heavy. Don’t have any faith in the forward rookies outside of Setterfield. Drew could be displaced as soon as Wines is back which could be very early in the season. Petrol could lose his spot once Cripps is back but even if he doesn’t is unlikely to score well. Balta is up in the air with both JS and scoring. Parker plays for saints and they’ll be a bottom 4 team this year so can see some very up and down scoring for him. Although his fixtures to start the year are quite good.

I feel the same way about the mid-pricers so a fair number of my drafts seem to end up with 4 premo forwards (Danger, Heeney, Boak and Kelly atm) and just the 2 rooks. Leaves me a little weaker in the midfield perhaps and the forwards probably have a little less upside than the mids like Sheed/Rocky but it just gives me so much more security which I like.

Also has the added benefit that I can pick guys that I reckon will actually be in the rolling 22 compared to the mids where it's a bit more unsure.

2. I've got parker on the bench as I don't trust his fantasy output. Expecting 40s and 50s from him.
 
Cripps (or any premo mid bar Macrae/Cogs) and Jacobs vs Rocky and Gawn?

I've been on option 1 for awhile and I think it's definitely still the safer option but I've been umming and erring a bit more on it lately with the Preuss talk cooling down.
 
Is Jamie Elliot worth the extra 200K over a 170K rookie in the forward line for scoring. His JLT scores probably don’t reflect that it is. I just don’t think we have much choice for the F4,5,6.

Yes I believe so
He went 57 from 55% game time in JLT2, and 66 from 64% in JLT1. Thats 1.03 Points per minute
If he plays 75% game time, he will be nearing scores of 80 (like he has in the past) and I can't see any 170k rookie doing that.

Yes. Averaged 84 (2014), 78 (2016), 76 (2017). If he stays healthy it looks like he'll average around the high 70's, I'd prefer that over a rookie who will average 60 at best.
 
With everyone spruiking all this extra space on the ground and more points on offer for the top end, wont it also be easier to get a kick as a mid-pricer too for good early price gains?
