Matt Kennedy too, might be a bit expensive but can score if he finds a new club with a pure midfield role

Priced at 77, you'd want him to be a keeper at that price.

We have seen that when he gets a full time midfield role hes good value for that price

Soldo rumored to be off to St Kilda.

Has implications for both Marshall and Sweet.

Yes, I have this fear, Marshall maybe used FWD more often next season

Rucks will be interesting next year

You could argue with how he finished that Xerri is underpriced
If Soldo goes to Saints, I don't think you can touch Marshall.
Gawn and English both had slightly under seasons based on the year before
TDK will be a popular pick at 88
Sweet solo ruck priced at 81
Darcy and Jackson both available in the 70s

After watching the Gf yesterday, Ashcroft might be a slam dunk starting pick next year

Which one?

Just hope the AFL aren't doing Opening Round again.

Priced at 86, do we think he can go at 100+ next year in that stacked midfield? It's a fascinating one to mull over.

I think we could get 10 points upside there. Another offseason to get fitter and stronger should only help him.
He was doing what he was doing this year coming off an ACL too

I think he can go completely past McLuggage and Dunkley to be their second most prominent midfielder.

I dont think he pushes out Dunkley, I think he takes points off Neale if I had to guess. Dunkley still has his tackles and marks that Ashcroft wont take away.

Id say Coleman coming back would affect Dunkleys points more than Ashcroft, a few less marks going around with Coleman sending it straight down the middle rather than Zorkos short kicks chipping it around.

 

[happy_eagle]

Question is whether Ashcroft has a strong fantasy game like Daicos. Seems to me he's more in the Cripps mould where he will impact a game without nessecerily scoring big in Fantasy.

He will be priced at around 81 so you'd probably want him to go 95+ in order to be a good pick, which he probably can do.

Not necessarily that he takes points from Dunkley but that he becomes their second best midfielder in terms of clearances, possessions, goals etc. Dunkley may still score from his tackles and around the ground spread but I suspect Ashcroft to be their highest possession midfielder next year and their most impactful.

Thatll affect Neale more than Dunkley, itll push McLuggage out too. I think of all of them Dunkley is by far the most safe

Perryman officially headed to the Pies, likely as a full time midfielder. Could be next year's Hayden Young

and is priced pretty cheaply at DEF. Chuck him on your watchlist

 

[stallon]

Perryman priced at 74, if he gets a midfield role(which he should) then definitely worth a look

played 7 games, so 9% off his 2023 90 average means priced at 81/82ish right?

Value there?
I think there might be a bit of value if he gets that more or less full time midfield role like I assume he does.

AFL website has him as a mid/fwd, so if he does get that fwd status I think hes a good pick

As strange as it may sound, does he really walk into Norths starting midfield.

I feel like Sheezel, Wardlaw and LDU would all be above him on CBA rotations. Then you consider it will be a matter of if not when McKercher becomes a full time mid.

Parker may be struggling for midfield time with Simpkin, Powell, W.Phillips and Lazarro.

At this stage id imagine he goes in there and does at least 50% CBAs, at least for the first year.
Those last 4 blokes you listed will be pushed aside a bit imo

Hard to know for sure so early though

Parker also likely to be "managed" at 32 YO ....do we like 32 YO players in Fantasy ?

He had a shorter year this year I guess, might not need the rest next year
