Looks like Heppell and Yeo might take a while to get themselves fit.
Meanwhile Matt Rowell is set to re-explode.

Dew: Rowell return won't distract Suns

There's no doubt Gold Coast are excited to unleash Matt Rowell on the AFL in 2021 but Suns coach Stuart Dew has dismissed concerns his team is in danger of becoming a one-man band.

Unlike in the other positions I don't feel you need to start with the best player from the previous year in the Midfield. I think Clayton Oliver is about to go bigger and better this year and he is my top player in the Midfield. Neale should be getable within the first 6-8 rounds if people really want him and at his starting price he only needs 1 game 100 or less and he could drop quite a lot but personally I don't see him being under $650k early unless he has a real stinker.

Yes if Neale gets off to poor scores in the first 3 rounds, as looks possible, he could have some major price drops after rounds 3,4 & 5. Cashing in an early rookie cash cow soon after that could net people a great value Neale. Probably worth the risk given you're right about the likelihood of other premo mids rising in value earlier and being better to start with. I suspect it may be Petracca rather than Oliver who develops into Melbourne's best mid this season though. Looks ready to explode. Oliver may have been advantaged by the shorter quarters and I expect his average to drop back down a bit. Still a great option though and should be in all final teams.

I think it's great that there's someone playing at AFL level who looks the same age as some of us here

Brent Guerra looked my age when he was a rookie. And I'm 45!

Interesting Article on Sam Walsh.

Interesting option should Heppell not standup .......my other interest is future SC Beast Tom Green
 
Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps is getting back to full fitness following off-season shoulder surgery.

The former AFLPA MVP suffered three ‘instability episodes’ on his left shoulder during 2020 and opted to undergo surgery after the season.

Blues director of high performance Andrew Russell said the club has a different plan for Cripps across the 2021 off-season.

“He’s basically doing 95% of the training now, so he’s in great shape,” Russell told the club’s website.

“He’s had a fantastic off-season, he worked hard on his body strength.

“We tried to make him a bit lighter last year and get his run up, but we’ve gone back to making him strong.”

You could tell he was playing sore most of the year last year. If he can get anywhere near back to 2018,2019 (119,117 average) he will be a bargain.

Cripps vs Walsh. Which of the two and why?​

You can certainly mount an argument for both .....Cripps for me, at the cheaper price ($20K) and longer history of premo scoring

I like that the sports scientists have gone away from last seasons strategy & training Cripps for strength over slimming him down for endurance

I didn’t even realise Cripps was cheaper.

Walsh averaged 118 after the bye, playing inside midfield.
Priced lower due to his lower scores in the first half of the year while playing on the wing.

Jury's out on whether he will start in there again, but his form would suggest he should be there.
Has also played every game since being drafted.

FWIF, here's a taste of my current midfield!
