So one would assume Baz sees a decline in scoring if he’s stuck on a wing? Your thoughts? Do you think Macrae goes back to being the super premo he’s always been without Dunks?

While at it, thoughts on Ed Richards? His finish to last year was pretty impressive. Didn’t look like a change in role at all. If anything it just looked like he finally got comfortable in his defence spot and started to really become a natural in it

Baz will probably not have a consistent enough role to be a proper premo. Macrae should.

Richards is in my side. He’s a very good defender who got thrown around a bunch of different positions, and then missed most of 2021 with injury. Excepting that awful final, his finish to the year was enough to make me choose him.

Lol, with the way the Traders are dropping these team Fantasy lists, I expect the game not to release in early Jan at all, but more mid Jan. They usually release it after they finish with the team drops, so they've still got 16 teams to go and missed one yesterday. Really have been quite lax this year - especially given SC will have dropped a month earlier.

Yes sucks for discussion but I reckon team 1 of 10,000 is ultimately the best one most times

Wtf?! You mean those random mid pricers that suddenly end up in my team after one meaningless pre season performance aren’t good selections??

I have no idea what you’re on about. I didn’t change Sicily to McInspuddy based on 1 practice game and then waste a trade on switching it back after round 1

Still no opening date for this?
Back for another year of chaos, captain failures, late outs and non-transparent injury reports.
I'm ready to pick my team damn it.

You forgot the 2023 special: Your ruckman subbed out at 3qtr time for an extra runner (also your cash cow)

I reckon two players who really could become great Fantasy scorers this season are Rowbottom and The Chad (Warner). Rowbottom had some great games towards the end of the season and during finals and Warner can definitely take it to another level as we saw this year. Priced at around $720-785k so very cheap for their potential output. Considering one or both for my team

I feel like there’s going to be a solid amount of options in that price bracket who all have the potential to go 105+

Warner
Row
B Smith
T Green
Newc
Anderson

Would be a very very risky strategy to use a majority of those mid pricers and no premos but if it worked it would pay off very nicely at the first part of the season.

But it’s a good thing there’s those options

 

[Zevon]

Not convinced on Warner and Rowbottom. There’s a pretty even spread through our midfield; the only real out and out fantasy jet we have is Mills. Warner and Rowbottom are going to be great footballers to watch but I’m not sure there’s as much fantasy upside as we would need to justify picking either of them. Warner in particular will be the prime tag target this year. Just my two cents and would obviously be happy to be proven wrong

 

[JDWCE]

The biggest issue I have with Warner is I don't see a world where he isn't first tagged this year. He's ultra damaging and everyone took note in the gf where he was the only Swan that did anything. I think if teams let him run riot he will hurt you with goals. Parker never gets tagged, Mills has been tagged previously but seems to be able to work through them with inside time or being shifted back. I think Warner has to be the number one tag target. Because of that it leans me to thinking it might be a year too early on him and next year could be the big jump

Anderson is 870K, Bailey Smith is 935K so not really in the same bracket as the others.

Out of the others I don't mind Tom Green 752K (priced at 85). I don't think he hits 105 but he seems the most likely to do it with TT and Hopper out of that GWS side. Even though those two left Green was already getting his fair share of CB's and mid clock so personally i don't see a 20 point upside.

Newcombe (775K) is priced at 88. Personally don't see him cracking the ton but he will get opportunities with Mitchell and O'Meara out of the side. Josh Ward (634K) is priced at 72 and I can see a world where he improves by 20 points to a 90+ average and tempts me more from the hawks mids.

Tom Mitchell at 851K is pretty tempting but I'd like to see him in Coll colours in the preseason first.

At 590K if Dom Sheed makes it through preseason he will be one of my first picked. Priced at 67 should push 90 easy.

I'm for real mad at this.
GWS drops 30/12, so a team every second day.

Moving along at a snails pace doesn't garner interest.
They shall pay with the loss of my $19.95 coach fee this year. Take that you fxckin snail's.
