Wingard and Cripps for me

Selwood + Dev

With price and scoring pretty similar between both options the decider for me = Dev is the only player of the 4 who’s a lock to be top 6 of his position.

80 +85 (Selwood and Dev) vs 105 + 90 (Wingard and Cripps).

I know which one i'm taking.

You really think Selwood and Dev average 80 and 85 this year ?

Dev has a range of options between 80-95, conservatively I said 85 as i'm not on board his role this year.

Selwood could range anywhere from 60-90, 80 is a pretty generous compromise there.

80 +85 (Selwood and Dev)

Usually agree with most of what you post but I think you’re wildly off the mark there.

Someone talk me out of picking Petracca please

I can't, if he plays that role there has to be upside, first time i've been remotely interested in him ever. Makes me wonder what's in store for Angus?

I just don't see it this year, super bearish on both. To be fair to everyone here i've just gone back and checked my projections for this season and I was harsh on Selwood, my projections have him at 85 also, so its an 85 and 85 (my projeciton for Smith is exactly 85.9, so I was around the mark).

I am just having a hard time looking past those scores last year. I don't think its a fate acompli either will return to their 2018 averages.

Oh boy, you need to shut those demons down!

I've only just gotten Angus out of my head... but he's never fully gone.

Can't help but still see value at his $653k price tag...! 1x Marsh performance might make me do something stupid!

This article got me onto Dusty. He has durability and if he plays enough midfield he will score well.

In the past few seasons, Dustin Martin has achieved almost every possible success in the AFL. In 2020 he's returned for fantasy coaches as a dual position player and the fantasy footy community couldn't be happier.

For those playing along with horses games at home, from rowbottoms mouth - inside mid. Hopefully he has some upside, I don’t mind him as a F4.

Personally I have Whit, Devon and Greenwood as my F1, 2 and 3.
For mine it's the best value vs risk balance for my top three forwards.

Dusty has no value for mine so happy as an upgrade target.
If rookies are scarce in rd.1 I may go Whit down to Wingard/Petracca and upgrade a rookie somewhere

I have the same three at F1-F3. Just feels the best balance for my forward line.

Yep same as my F1-F3. Haven't even thought about Wingard until recently, never liked him but saving 100k on devon sounds good

Him and TMac have been rotating around for me. TMac slightly ahead after Saturday but will be keeping a close eye on how the swans lineup this weekend

My thoughts for what it's worth... nice team!
- I haven't seen Bianco's name come up too much. Is he likely to get early games for the Pies? From my quick read of their board he doesn't seem to be in contention. Obviously if there are solid DEF rookies that lineup would work
- Strong mids, I like the Boak pick but happy for you to take that risk rather than me! Bont could be a good shout too, and would I be right in seeing Gaff as ensuring you've got a defensive option to balance that riskier portfolio of picks?
- I've got ROB too. all aboard!
- Must admit I don't know much about Henry, but can't fault the other picks. I've also got Bewley at this stage. Similar upside to Brayshaw but $200k cheaper!

Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one on the planet with Bewley and was starting to question my sanity. Good to see you and TedDougChris are on the train with me. There’s been a fair bit of talk about C.Jones, Paton, Vandenburg as potential forward starters in that $300-$400k range but for mine Bewley has the greatest potential of the lot if he manages to nail a round 1 spot in Fremantle’s 22. That’s still a big if at this stage judging by the talk on their board but from all reports he’s looked a million dollars this pre season.

Check out his history...then pick Wingard and you can downgrade to Trac

But can he actually get the ball? I know he's good at running, but he was tagging all last year so I don't know if he can score!

I’ve been forbidden from talking him up, so I won’t tell you that he had a down year in the WAFL last year and still averaged 85 after averaging 100 in the VFL the previous year...
