? Barely been mentioned anywhere. Doesn’t have the round zero impact and bye isnt until round 14. Feel like he is a low risk POD and can be one that has games where he goes 140+.

My starting 4 premos are Petracca, Dawson, LDU and probably parish. Was going to go Serong( and I understand why he is a great pick) but I feel like parish can outscore him.

I just don't see the scoring potential in Parish. He had 10 games last year with 30+ possessions and his highest SC score was 131.

In 4 games he had 37, 37, 38 and 39 possessions with scores of 109, 117, 108 and 126.

Does he butcher it a bit or is he just an anti Bont type?

At that price point, I'd prefer Brayshaw personally.

Round 0 is a worse idea than AFLX.

Not even being dramatic.

At least AFLX was trying something new in an attempt to catch fire like the BBL did.

'Opening round' is some strange way to appease Victorian fans because... the season isn't starting at the MCG with Richmond and Carlton? 16/18ths of the supporter base don't give a shit.

This was 2021! Last year had a little bit of an interrupted season with injuries. Like I said, he can score and score well.

Scoops all over it like a seagull at the tip!

Only 6 weeks after the fixture was announced

POTY
In Scoops' defence, it took time to put together a crack strike force and peel back the layers of corruption and graft at AFL House and * checks notes * download the publicly available pdf
And no, Scoops will never divulge his sources.
Scoops has effics.

 

[gutsroy]

If I think Green will go 120+ & Serong 110+ should I back Green in ignoring the byes?

This might be too simplistic, but if you reckon both will be in your final side, I'd start the one without the early bye and grab the other post-bye(s) there.

 

[gutsroy]

So technically it's O Round, not Round 0.

Either way, it's a ******* stupid idea.

Silly stuff aside, it does skew things a bit.
Apart from value options where the price overrides other considerations, it almost eliminates 8 sides from the starting pool.
Don't have a better solution, personally, tbf.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

This is 100% correct the only R0 players I'm selecting are for their value with 1 game less over the early rounds that make them worth while to select and at this stage there aren't many that are screaming pick me.

 

[gutsroy]

Yeah that's the problem.

I'm not smart enough to work out BE's but I suspect if Bont goes sub 100 2 or 3 times early in the year he'll be low $600k's. That's not impossible.

He dropped from $725k to $650k last year with the below run. And the magic number is higher in the early rounds. If you start him he's got to go 130+ to retain his price and make it hard/impossible for others to get him.

If you assume he goes sort of 105-ish off a slow start (but not outrageously so), he'd definitely shed a bit. Assumes Scoops' abacus is not on the blink and - fully open kimono from Scoops here, not here to sell you a pup - just took a rough stab at the MN.



If you really go sub-ton on a couple, but again, not outrageously so:


In terms of what he'd have to pump out to basically tread water on the dollarydoo front early doors, reckon 135-odd, to be honest.

(Why? Because Scoops ****ing said so, that's why - now drop and give me twenty, you larrikans.)

Niggle-prone, also needs volume plus to offset the average DE and short disposal by hand and foot.
He is OK, but he is not cheap enough to interest vs a Touk / Walsh, e.g., to be honest.

Legend, great post.

Fair enough, they are certainly better numbers. Has his role changed since 2021? I guess my concern with him from last year is that he can get near 40 touches and still struggle to get 100, when he should be closer 150.

FWIT I'm currently running Merrett in my starting line up from the Bombers for now, as I had him last year and he was pretty good for me.

Do you think Hobbs or anyone else will start to effect either of the main Bombers mids in Merrett & Parish?

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

With Oliver going through his struggles, if it’s as bad as it sounds Petracca becomes a real option for me. He’ll be the main man.

Just on the Bont, looked like one of you was dividing his price by 5.8(k) or something to figure out what he'd need to average in-season to tread water price-wise, and landed on 125.
The starting MN is 5.6k, the in-season MN can't exceed that and will gradually drop to 5.2k-odd, at a guess.
So he has to go more 135-odd not lose money.
Misses the point a little, though, if he is going 125+ regularly, he gives C options etc., plus he has a better bye scenario than most, that can mean he's still very viable.
Think that is why he will be popular, even though he'll have to defy gravity to an extent.
Good stuff

I agree with this thinking. A lot of people had trouble picking captains and vice captains and you’ve got a player who gets 120+ consistently rather than the inconsistent 90-125.
You don’t lose any money if you never sell him.

Love the Bont, can see him dropping 10-15% in value.

Get the Bont decision bang on and a cash cow correct an that's a potential $300k swing.

Yeah, can happen, like a Stewart/ Laird to an extent last year
Big hole to climb out of if he goes on his merry way and pumps out 130 over the first 10 rds, though.
Proof of the pudding's in the eating, end of the day, just have to make a call and go with it.

All good as long as Scoops Airlines doesn't end up like this I suppose.

Even if he has the slow start you're assuming, think you're a bit lite on. Short odds that there would be at least one 160+ score in six rounds. Be more realistic if you add that sort of score into your calcs.

Anybody interested in Rozee as a POD?

Wonder if being captain lifts his scoring?

He does seem to just cruise around a bit at times, maybe as captain he'll stay involved more

I can’t in all honesty prioritise him higher than Bont, Dawson, Daicos, Sicily and Butters, but if Serong (my current m4) got a preseason injury, he’d be in the next 2 or 3 I’d consider.

+1.

Lots of options in the MIds this year .
Makes tings exciting...
