Can anyone let me know how many teams have Grant Birchall in there?

Thinking with Frawley on board he'll have a chance to rebound more instead of playing pure lockdown with a weight disadvantage.
6.67%

a solid pick this year, should average 90+
 
Interesting that a few of these guys are POD's (so far) Less than 2.3% ownership

Barlow 2.27%
Minson 2.2%
Treloar 2.21%
Rioli 1.92%
Sidebottom 1.91%
R Henderson 1.88%
Docherty 1.88%
Westhoff 1.77%
Gibbs 1.76%
JOM 1.73%
S Martin 1.69%
M MURPHY 1.65%
SJ 1.40%
T Greene 1.36%

Wow only 1.65% for Murphy. That's surprising.

Currently have one player on that list.

Yeah agreed.

I would have thought more people would be jumping on Murphy. Happy for know one else to take him though.

Not overly surprised with any of the others. They all fall into the 'there are better/safer options' category.

I have Murphy, Minson, Devon & Ricky Henderson from that list.

Henderson is the most surprising at 1.88% I read an article on the Crows website yesterday that he is fit & training with the Defs & will definitely be filling a HBF role this year. Which brings me to Brodie Smith, if Jaensch & Hendo are the 2 running half backs, does that mean that Brodie will be moved up the ground onto a wing?

Not sure. Smith got AA in his position and should stick to that role. There's still Reily & Trucks spots to cover down back. Jeansch was pushing up thru the mids and i50 abit later in the year. He might be the one best suited.
 
What's your take on Minson Gingy? Have him but I'm on the fence with him.

I wasn't a fan last year. I know JM traded him in at some point, but he just looked underdone for most of the season for mine. Not sure what sort of pre-season he had last year, but I suspect he wasn't really "flying" at any point. If he looks anywhere near the player he was in 2013 during NAB, he should be decent value. It's either him or Ivan for me to share ruck duties with NicNat at this stage. I just don't see enough value in the 570k+ guys at the minute, since ruck scores should dip by 5-10 points this year. You'd be better off forking out the money saved on a 600k+ mid

Having said that, if there were no salary cap, I'd be starting with Jacobs & Mumford in the ruck.

Jaensch could be a sneaky POD Premo Def this year. Keep in mind out of the 22 games Jaensch played last year a couple of those were injury affected 38's. Discount those and his 2014 average is 94.65 from 20 non injury affected games. Priced at 89 he's decent value.

He had almost no pre-season last year, has done everything this year.

Problem is if you compare him head to head with a similar priced player (Maric) he gets far more of his points from hit-outs which may be dulled by the scoring changes this year. Maric has higher possies, marks, goals and DE yet Minson creamed him in total # of hit-outs.
Minson is durable though - played all though injury last year so really is a set & forget option.

Good to hear he's fit. I've got my coke glasses on him during nab. Not doing much other than hitouts is a concern though particularly as taps now don't score unless to advantage. What's his % like in this area?

Thought you had Mummy?
I think Goldys good value too. Avg 129 in last 9 games incl finals which coincided with him getting over that shoulder issue. On that he should priced above 600k

Whats was Goldy's hit out to adv %?
 
Really the wrong thread but i have started with spud rucks (well at least one spud) last few years.This year i want good rucks and they change the rules grrrrr.
+1

I have more headaches with the rucks than the backline.
