[Maybe Tomorrow]

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Def:
Sheezel/Sicily are locked. Sheezel will be C/VC early on. Will probably look at one of Nick Martin/Jordan Clark, expecting similar output from both. Mills at 360k will be hard to avoid, and then Coleman+Cumming as injury affected guys priced between 200-300k. Cumming would need to move clubs to play HB.

Mid
Will probably take all the value. Oliver, Day, Dawson, Green. Keen on Andy Brayshaw, last 2 seasons had bad starts due to injury so hopefully will be g, did 117 post bye and no tags. Gona skip Rozee, cbas dropped and think it will continue with too many mouths to feed. For M1 will probably go one of Butters and Daicos, Bont too expensive. Jagga Smith and Levi Ashcroft look like good rooks.

Ruck
Xerri/TDK set and forget.

Fwd
See what happens with Macrae if he moves clubs. Phillpou at 300k is locked. Hutchinson at 240k is a watch if he gets cbas, same goes for hugo Garcia. Bailey Smith first picked in the whole game. Think Rankine will have a big preseason so will consider him, wants to be the best player in the league.

Not interested in Flanders Jords?

Yeah could be the way to go. Hard to start both him and Sheezel.

Daicos is a upgrade for mine, there will be some down games, enough to get him under $600k.

Like the Ashcroft pick, wonder if he's a chance at fwd/mid



Mills is a trap imo. I wonder about Coleman too. Both might be worth the risk depending on price though.

 

[Northernsoul74]

I might even start Peatling as a Mid

Will depend if he gets a move and who it is to. Could be a very good option at the right club.

as a mid/fwd if he gets to North

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Luke Parker as a mid/fwd if he gets to North

He will be about $420k and well passed his best footy. He is a No for me he won't get the Mid minutes anymore.

He won't be going there to play forward pocket.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

He won't be going there to play forward pocket.

Well he won't be going there as a 32 year old to play Midfield either. Not with LDU,Sheezle,Wardlaw,Phillips,Powell,Simpkin and a couple of others who will get some CBA's during matches.

Yes North will definitely play spuds like Phillips and Simpkin over him

You sure about that? SC scores in finals aren't used towards averages for starting prices the next year. Would be strange if positional play in finals influenced DPP.

finals affects their dpp

I would be surprised if GWS don't resign him he has been great the last 6-7 games when played in the right position.

Sounds like he’s very close to re-signing.

 

[Username Unknown]

I hope we pick up soldo as it allows Marshall to play forward more next year and he will be a sneaky chance for dpp.

It balances out our team and protects king along with allowing King to get up the ground (where he was scoring 100’s, at the start of the year !)

Western Bulldogs premiership player Jack Macrae wants to go to St Kilda.
