Sheez a gift
Mills priced at ~61 as pure DEF is intriguing. With a decent role he should be able to do a 90 average in his sleep - if he can stay fit.

You think he outperforms 112 ?
Question marks over a lot of the 100+ defenders
Sheezel - If he plays mid/forward, can he score as well as he's priced at ?
Whitfield - He played 23 games last year, but doubt he can do that again.
Zorko - As above
Flanders - Will be playing mid with the Suns inclusions. Not as high a ceiling.
Nic Martin - Question marks over role, and whether the Bombers will change their gameplan.
Nic Newman - Could be a good pick, but feel like he's probably a trade in target than a starting pick.
Luke Ryan - Too man question marks over his role.
Jack Sinclair - Too many points to steal off NWM ?

Dont necessarily think he outperforms that but if he’s playing midfield he’s almost a shoe in for a 110 average. He still has scope for improvement in him and he’s a full blown pig. I’m more thinking for draft he’s an absolute gift on that line
Yeah, there's no gimmes this year which makes it really interesting and will create more diversity amongst starting teams. Much more than in the FWD line at least!
Currently thinking NWM might be my D1 to start, with the great bye and the questions on all the 100+ guys that you've outlined here.

Pick 1...
Agree on NWM. Hopefully Travaglia plays and shifts Sinclair to midfield. Bonner gone too.
As annoying as he is, Short had a stinker last year and now Rioli is gone I think there is some upside there too.

My biggest issue with Short is that he almost always misses a small stretch of games somewhere along the way

Pick 1...
He missed 1 this year and about 7 or 8 in 2023. Played every game for 3 years before that.
We do wish he missed them all but not to be

I always seem to own the prick in draft and he misses at the most crucial time at a top of the table clash or something like that. Could just be I’ve had him last couple years when he’s missed but never owned him when he never missed. Almost certain that’s the case then, coz I mean why would I own anyone durable

From memory he missed off the back of that early bye due to opening round so technically 2 fantasy weeks without.Swear he missed two this year…

You are correct good man
Mills and Coleman locks surely.
Duggan at 88 seems decent, hes supposedly training with the midfielders so far.
Not starting Sheezel unless I have extra cash available.
Definitely not touching any of Zorko, Flanders, Martin or Ryan.
Dont mind Holmes, he will be the #2 in the middle still, or go to half back where he scored pretty well in the first half of the year.

Actually finding that DEF is the hardest position this year
I think we will all start 2/3 of Mills, Roberts and Kiddy, but really tough with them all having the same early bye
Think the cheaper options are defintely the play while we figure out who is top 6
Lots of the top 6 from last year are bound to recess at least mildly (Sheez without HB roll, old man Zorko, Flands without HB roll, Whits injury/body, Ryan/Clark gamestyle). So spending up in other position makes more sense currently

Holmes first selected for me. Slow end to the year makes him a cheap D1. Early bye hurts but will also allow him to be unique.
Unless he gets 110+ OR (pls don’t)
Unless he gets 110+ OR (pls don’t)
Same for me, he scored better when he was playing off half back earlier in the year, once he went into the middle his scores suffered. Fingers crossed Baz coming in means he can stay off half back or the wing
Finding defenders the hardest line to choose players this season coming..
