Same, showed he is tag vulnerable. Have to expect others to try it out if he starts impacting the game.
Also gone midpricey, bit of fun ain't it?On the basis of PS games, this is now where I'm at (getting very midpricey, but I don't hate it) -

It does looks good but feels 1 or 2 too many for me. I have toyed with Worpel at M6 and it feels amazing but Sheed at M4 and even Green at M3 is a big concern imo.On the basis of PS games, this is now where I'm at (getting very midpricey, but I don't hate it) -

Interesting to look at the scoring, given it's a full game. Based on a normal round, this would be my score thus far:
Dunks VC (240)
Rozee (105)
Bruhn (74)
Ashcroft (97)
W. Day (73)
C. Mackenzie (92)
Worpel (85)
L. Henry (72)
838/8 (VC)
Doch, J. Dawson, Laird, R. Marshall, Witts, T. Green, Cogs, Taranto, Yeo, Sheed, McLean, J. Hunt, Ginbey, Sheezel, to come
2000+ would be likely off that - which would be solid for a first round. Definitely a lot to think about re: structures and best set up to go with
More than one way to skin an 838 hahaha
Dunks VC 240
Young 55
Daicos 58
Serong 101
Duursma 97
Worpel 85
Ashcroft 97
Rozee 105
838/8 (VC)
C. Mackenzie 92, Sturt 56 on my bench.
Currently as follows;
DEF: Docherty, Dawson, Yeo, Constable, Ginbey, Chesser (Wilmot, Cincotta)
MID: Oliver, Steele, LDU, Green, Worpel, Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Phillips (McVee, Long)
RUCK: Marshall, Darcy (McAndrew)
FWD: Dunkley, Coniglio, Taranto, Rozee, McLean, Philippou (Greene, Chandler)
UT: Tsitas
Bolded need to have closer look at this week. The rest I'm pretty content with.
Worpel/Bruhn I'm still going back and forward on. Tough choice.
Not sure. I barely saw him last night. Moved my E to Cincotta to punish him for it so hopefully named round 1 or McVee goes back and need someone else in the mids I guess.What's Wilmot's job security like? Had heard a few people saying it was a bit shaky.
I think I’ll just avoid Worpel and Bruhn. Worpel is clumsier than a golden retriever on rollerskates and I’m still not convinced Mitchell even likes him, while Bruhn has a real pre-season hype stench about him. Won’t be surprised if he goes around 70-75 in the real stuff, which would still see an increase in price but is less than you’d need to make it a successful pick.
Can always jump on in the early rounds if I’m wrong.
But I’m NEVER wrong, so there’s no way that will happen
I agree it’s still value, I just question the point in paying $471k for a 75 when you could potentially find a rookie at $200k less that could net you a 60. You’ll make bucketloads more cash for a minimal loss of points (possibly zero loss of points if you invest the difference wisely elsewhere).Re: Bruhn, you'd definitely take a 75. He'd be consistently netting you 22 points upside, as he's priced at 53, and would increase to around 665K - meaning a close to 200K increase on his initial price.
People are picking Will Day in the backline for 65K more, and expecting a similar score, if not less. I expect Bruhn to go 75-85 in that role, as he's clearly favoured, and I can see him getting a decent score every week through tackles alone (reminds me of Scooter Selwood in that regard).
To each their own though. I hope people stay off him, as I want him all to myself!
Who gets flushed when your best 22 players return? Smith, Hawkins, Cameron, Bowes?, Duncan, J Henry... the Cats have so much depth - best 22 risk, rotation risk. Have to think he'll get squeezed out on occasions and this will force a trade.Re: Bruhn, you'd definitely take a 75.

Powell will be interesting. I raised him a while ago. Only concern will be if he's like 5 or 6 deep in that Roos midfield.I agree it’s still value, I just question the point in paying $471k for a 75 when you could potentially find a rookie at $200k less that could net you a 60.

The big ‘if’ in all that is whether or not we’ll get enough reliable forward rookies and I agree that a Bruhn-priced player would become more appealing if we don’t, BUT in that scenario I think I’m keener on Tom Powell to outscore Tanner at roughly the same cost anyway
Yeah agreed, nothing is certain yet. Big watch on how North go tomorrowPowell will be interesting. I raised him a while ago. Only concern will be if he's like 5 or 6 deep in that Roos midfield.
LDU, Simpkin, Phillips, Cunnington...or does he play first choice mid and ruin Phillips for us lol

Day is easily best 22 at the Hawks I'd imagine one of the first half dozen picked.

I wasn’t looking seriously at Merrett, but yeah that round 1 tag would be a concern you’d think. Parish is still high on my radar so if anything I’ll actually be hoping they do send the tag to Merrett so that Darcy can go bonkers.With Maginness supposedly doing a smooth tag job already against the Pies. Is any one else looking at fading Merrett R1 because of that?
And then hopefully pick him up a bit cheaper in a couple of weeks.
I think we have 3 differences. I've got Worpel instead of Bruhn, Darcy instead of Witts and Oliver instead of Trac. Hope you have a good seasonDon't love it, don't hate it either.
Bound to change another 10 times before rd 1.
48k remaining.

I've kept looking at Merrett and always finding a reason not to put him in. Yesterday puts a line through him for mine. Should be a nice upgrade target though.With Maginness supposedly doing a smooth tag job already against the Pies. Is any one else looking at fading Merrett R1 because of that?
