Danger by a country mile ;)
Griff is going to average 421 though. Priced at just 56.
Haha go for it I'll stick to danger :D
Must admit I'm very tempted! Will definitely go with one of these lower priced guys in my mid, I'm just not sure which one.
Griffin, cheap as chips but so injury prone now and what role does he play?
O'Meara a little more expensive but potential to average 100+ (equally as injury prone)
Armitage virtually the same price as O'Meara, had a one off horror year with injuries but unlikely to average much over 90

or a rookie that gets you cash and upgrade to prem by round 9.
JOM, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Arm is not a keeper so he has to do the same or better than a rookie cash grab. Griff - good luck with that.....

It's not just about that though, it's about the rock solid job security and the 100 points they can score you each week as opposed to a rookie scoring you 65 and being in and out of the side
Griff will play half back, rack up the cheap kicks and make 2017 Dochery look like a jobber in comparison.

yes, you are right JS is very important and you can get additional points from a JOM or Arm if they stay on the park. Not sure my position will change though. Still only 3 months to change my mind.

Not sold that Griffen isnt past it. Plus other possible options in mid so not a lock.
Biggest lock for me is Gawn!

Same for me. Imagine if Gawn goes down in preseason or JLT. Probably end up with NN, Sandi or NN Ryder. Be nice to have one year where the Rucks don't create headaches and grey hairs. Bloody CD should have given Lobb R/F status. Would be starting Gawn/Lobb in that case.
Thought this thread must have been about Dayne Beams but I’m happy to get everyone back on track.
You guys can pick Griffin as your lock. I will stick with Danger and GAWN

Witherden 8)

Witherden 8)
It’s great that he took the kick ins last year and played on a few times from them. He’s a kicker more than a hand baller and an elite one at that. With Docherty out all year, we are all in need of an extra player to fill the void and he is genuinely one of the better picks in defence, even though he’s only played half a year.
Witherden is on my radar but I probably won’t start him... not altogether ruling it out though.
Call me biased, but Patrick Cripps at $537K sounds pretty good to me. His first full preseason (unless he gets injured between now and round 1) since joining the blues, and correct me if I'm wrong, racked up some big scores the three weeks before he broke his leg? Back injury last preseason meant he took a while to get going, but I'm backing him in to go HUGE this year!!
I also like Stephen Coniglio $452K. Had him in my draft last year (unfortunately) and noticed he had a couple of huge scores when he finally came back. Thoughts?

Last year I got poo pooed on calling out Billings....... this year I'm making the call on these two. They are already both great players, but I think Cripps going in to his 5th year and Coniglio having another crack at his 6th will step it up in to the aforementioned category!! Only my opinion of course.

Potentially, but they haven't the last two years. Also no-one locked down Docherty, Hibberd, Roberton, Lloyd etc. last year so can't see why they'd start now.

Because Adelaide will contend and after Smiths injury and Lever leaving Adelaides backline has been weakened and stopping
Laird now seems more obvious than say tagging Sloane who now has Gibbs to relieve pressure.
Laird my only lock in defence
Danger and Fyfe my only locks in the mid
Gawn and Nicnat locked away
Heeney my only forward locked in.
All other spots both premium and rookie are open

The Crouch brothers, Greenwood and a guy like CEY have improvement in them. The mids will be fine. I'll be very surprised if Gibbs doesn't help out across half back more than the midfield. This is one reason not to pick Laird.

Hadn't thought of that, quite possible.
Well, if you look at Laird’s second half of season, some opposition teams did lock him down....

My biggest lock is Lobb playing as solo ruck, closely followed by Birchall and Cripps.
In light of the Bennell situation I think Lobb is set to become a lot more popular.
He smashed it in the semi and preliminary finals after Mumford hurt his ankle and the No.1 spot is all his for the taking. Dawson Simpson had a good year in the NEAFL but has failed to deliver anything in his AFL games to date, youngster Matthew Flynn is reported to be coming along nicely and Lachie Keeffe has arrived from Collingwood and is slated to offer back-up ruck cover. Patton and Himmelberg can pinch hit in the ruck and that's about it.
GWS's Round 1 team will say a lot. I don't think the JLT will tell us much.

Didnt jave a go at the team picker but for me
Laird dusty titch and danger are LOCKS for me
Danger, Martin, Mitchell, Fyfe, Gawn along with Billings for me
:)
My biggest locks are Dusty and Danger. And the incredible thing is that I believe both still have improvement in them. Dusty the most.

One thing keeping me away from Mitchell is the prospect of spending time forward, think this will drag his average down. Both O'Meara & Mitchell have been rotating in that position during intra club games.

There is almost zero chance Titch plays enough forward to effect his scoring. Hawks rely on his output in their so much and have plenty of small forwards as it is. If anything he may go fwd rather than the bench but even that is unlikely cause he plays most minutes. From what i found last year he isnt even a very good shot at goal and cant kick the pill too far either. Doesnt make sense playing him fwd.
He probably spent time forward just to manage him
Why would they need him going 100% mid time in a intra club?
Think about it

But the ball magnet, like he did in his record-breaking 2017 campaign, did his best work in the guts, picking up from where he left off last year and winning a stack of the ball."
Potential hmmmmmm think this is their game plan boys wrap her up, titch to kick 60
Instead of averaging 37 touches again they're going to move him forward at times so he averages 37 touches and 2 goals.
Every year there is talk of players spending more time FWD it makes me laugh especially with inside clearance players at the start of the game they start centre if there is a stoppage in the FWD'S they go forward if there is a stoppage in the backline they go back if there is stoppage on the wing they go to the wing most do get a rest forward or on the bench nothing has changed and nothing will.
Staring TMitch but Dustys quiet moves on the weekend will have watching Dangerfield closely.
I will play either danger or dusty at the start... Hopefully will have both on board by R13

Not planning on starting either.
Really?! Reasoning?
Well there’s no value in either of them. The money he saved by picking say Fyfe and Beams (just an example) could massively help his team. Titch and Dusty most likely won’t be going up in price, if anything they’ll probably fall a bit.
Having said that I have Titch and 50/50 on Dusty, but it’s not like you’re a big loser for not picking the best scorers if you can appropriately invest the money saved elsewhere - fantasy footy is a game of both points and money.
Lewis Jetta has to be the biggest lock surely?
Only 386k and priced at just 70.3. I hope you guys don't get sucked into spud mid-pricers like Brayshaw or O'Meara.
Jetta's move to the half back line will be as fruitful as can be. Elite disposal and run off the back flank will have AFL oppositions tearing their hair out! Not to mention he has a game built for SC with his high kick numbers and meters gained. If he was a fwd I'd expect at least 45% ownership. Since as a pure mid he is only in 1% of teams, this is the time to get on!

It's not all about just picking undervalued players though. You still need some of the best scorers in your team because it's too hard to get them all in once the season starts

He's never been a great SC scorer. How much will he average in a bottom 8 team sharing points with JJK,Redden,Shuey,NicNat and Yeo?
I guess an 85+ average is possible but I'd rather a rookie at 250k less avg 70 and making money.
Plus it looks like more mid rookies will line up than fwd and back so makes it hard to find a spot.

I think you missed Levi's sarcasm :P
For me the biggest lock is the lockout in AF. I really don't want to fork out the extra for Fritsch & Kelly if they are not playing. No doubt they will both be named on an extended bench to add to the frustration. Might have to take what we can get from the first six matches in AF. P.S. Fyfe.

Well that’s what Dangerfield and Fyfe and Zorko and etc are for - you don’t have to pick the top 6 scorers from last season and blow half your salary cap
