2021 Mids

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Hi CD. You don't mention your current $ availability. Perhaps Grainger- Barrass and Connor Menadue  ( haven't heard anything about how he is progressing since moving to North ) may fill any void. Depends on what you have to spend and where you think you'll do less damage with a downgrade. I just checked out Neale's ave over the last 3 seasons for the first four opponents.
Sydney          110,   100    66            Ave    87
Geelong         132    103    134/158    Ave    132
Collingwood    104    140    91            Ave    111
Footsgray       100    101   167            Ave    122
The only problem really would be offsetting Lochie's big point scores when he fires up and when, if and how you could trade him in. For the above 4 games last year in his first big season J Lyons scored 136,    88,    138,    138.  Is Jake Lloyd a prolific early scorer ?? He's the one I've downgraded. Keeping Neale for now but if I have to find more $ , then we'll see. Cheers.

Don't overthink it

Neale is going to be a Top 8 mid, and even if he does drop 100k in value that's still very hard to bring in during the season

Just pay up for him

Pretty compelling, ST.

Neale's back in. Thanks for smacking some sense into me.

In skimming off the top for better insurance at the bottom, I've overdone it.

How many ON-FIELD sub 200K Rookies do you currently have ST?

I have 4:

1 def / 2 mids / 1 forward

Problem is, I currently have 6 mid-pricers in the 250K - 450K bracket.
So different from other seasons, when I've rarely had more than 3.

Looking at my team, it just feels... wrong.

Sub 200k rookies on field, three. All in defence. Can upgrade those with 1 prem downgrade if it became necessary. Only have the 3 on field rookies all up in current team. Wouldn't worry too much about our mid pricers as their presence in round 1 will depend on how many more rookies we can introduce in to our teams come selection night. Cheers.

Worpel was BOG in the win over the pups today. You can add his name to the very interesting list of mids priced between 450k and 500k. Simpkin, Rowell, Taranto, Cerra and Worps. These guys all have the potential to well and truly go Uber premium status.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Tim Taranto?

Everything going well, I could see him averaging 108+ and being good enough for a d6-d7 spot. Worst case he averages about 100 and makes you around 100k (more than a lot of rookie priced players will make you) and possibly be a d8 option if not a decent stepping stone to a super prem if you want to go down that path.

At 721k you’d want him to be top 3 at the very least lol

Could Brad Hill be a keeper at M8?  Just $354,000

Brad Hill is a trap. The new rules will suit him, but can't see him increase his average from last season up 35-40 points to be considered an M8 keeper. Opposition teams will be looking to lock him down as well.

At that awkward price. The new standing on the mark rules should suit him and give the Saints more room and opportunity to use him.
Would be a risk but he's certainly worthy of discussion. Would be a POD.
Tom Green (351k) is the one for me at that price - young, knows how to find it and on the rise (11% ownership atm) and Caldwell (348k) is popular with others (16% ownership).

I see AFL information, trade rumours and results has made his way over to this forum

Never avg'd over 85. Even with the rule change, I can't see him going 90+.

Anyone considering LDU and Dom Tyson

Think you have to take Heppell in that range & I don't think another mid pricer would be wise.
