Anyone surprised Jarryd Lyons was in the best 23 for Round 1?
Since when do the Lions let Jarryd Lyons play?

Yeah there were a couple who brought him up a few weeks back. Had him towards the end of the last year. So reliable when he has the CBA's - and well underpriced. Just worry about Walsh returning and pushing him to half forward, though.
Yeah I was one of them, but also mindful of Walsh's return impacting role. Probably need to get to 105-110+ tonight to tempt me.

I said I wouldn't start Williams if he doesn't go above 80. Looks like he didn't do enough.

I'll get him after his bye if he does well in round 1.

Yeah it's super awkward hey - got a fairly lucky tackle late too, to push near 70 rather than 65. If Dean has a good one for Coll tomorrow and we also get Phillips/Reid/Schoenmaker next week (along with Howes) it's a real head scratcher.
 
Surely can’t afford to have Williams d6? And if not coffield who else? Rookie is risky Atleast coffield has JS and will average roughly 60
Don't think Howes for Melbourne is any bigger risk at D6 than Coffield. Coffield more experience, more injury risk. Howes looked good, consistent through the game against Sydney - BYE the clear difference. But it's Round 6 and may well be getting off anyway.
 
Just have to remember if he goes 60 hes still 20 points upside.
Don’t get me wrong he’s definitely a good pick. Feels a bit to me like a won’t be a fail but won’t hurt you either way. 60 feels about his average.

Just comes down to structure really and I’ve got a wide spread of other underpriced players and I’m not sure who I’d drop down to him (either Stewart or Salem) or who I’d put the cash on the head of to feel better off overall
 
People overthinking Williams. The role was great, the body was great, and the game was an absolute long kicking slog at the end - with Dunks top scoring with a 104. If you want him, start with him. He's a very cheap mid pricer who is capable of averaging 80-90+, and when he misses Round 2, you can cover him with a rook as he's not overly expensive. Then you don't have to trade him in post Round 2.

A gift if he's fit and healthy. Don't look the gift horse in the mouth.

I just had a quick look at options around his price and, if anything, it sets a benchmark. D'Ambrosio, Burgoyne and McVee (73 last night) all +/- $50k of Williams with Fyfe, Erasmus, Bonner, Humphrey, Mackenzie and T.Dow available on other lines.

Think 90 is a bit high but otherwise agree with everything you said, and I’d be fine with him going at 75-80 anyway. Passed the eye test with flying colors, and I say that as somebody who went into the night not really wanting to like him as a pick. Back at the G next week against an opponent that will be considerably easier to score against. He did more than enough to slot in to D5 for me.
 
Starting to rethink my whole midfield 😂🫠 Dawson, touk, nuke, Amon, Martin, wines

If nuke doesn't proper break out like expected and goes at 95, and Amon goes back to a wing and scores 80s, that's my season done. Especially if Steele pops off.

Is the extra 100k for Massimo worth it at D6 over Coffield? I'm toying with it
 
What a game of changing fortunes... early on it was Zilliams lock, McCluggage a huge possibility and Coleman looking good. Zilliams didn't do enough for me in the second half, the Scottish suitcase disappeared and Coleman gets injured.

Takeaways from this game (for me) were Dunkley scoring consistently over four quarters, and Hewett also looking consistent. I was looking at Bailey, but 81 doesn't cut it and Lohmann getting 28 from half a game puts him out of my squad.

Good finish to the game as an unbiased spectator, but zero changes to my team from the game.
