Not much I can see on twitter, if Balta plays forward and Gibcus gets injured again, you could see him. I've posted this previously.

With Rioli and Short both slated to be playing rebounding HB I'm getting the feeling he might not get a role worth paying $200k for :confused:

Should add that I know he's clearly not a rebounder, but at 188cm neither is he a KPD like Grimes, Young or Gibcus.

If Vlaustin plays the floating 4th defender and Rioli and Short take all the kick-ins and seagull chip kicks then I'm not sure what is left. Lock down medium defender coming off the bench?

Am assuming no.6 is Conway. Impressed at him beating Stanley for most of those ruck contests.

Will Conway be number 1 ruck for Cats this season or will they go again with Stanley? Is he the most likely cheap ruck to get games to have as R3 on the bench? If he does play, would he average around 65 + because if not no point picking him as a cash cow? I'm tossing up between him and Sweet.

The only issue that I see with that example is that it is comparing two different structures. Or are you suggesting that Team A wouldn’t be able to get to 9 x A premiums due to the smaller player pool of 10 clubs compared to looking at all 18?

Yeah I think I’m just seeing a lot of people stacking up B premiums under the reasoning of no early bye. Just feels super limited by avoiding some either clear value or or genuine stars.
I think the trap is people go “I can’t have round 0 players” and then rationalise compromises picks, rather than building the ideal team of keepers and then making tweaks. Like if you start too many round 0 guys it could blow up so definitely there is a sweet spot, but it’s more “I’ll get so and so after the bye” and instead take a guy with patchy scoring or that is speculative.

You would think that if Sweet can lock down the No 1 ruck spot at Port he has the advantage over Conway. English just had a monster season in 2023 so they just had no need for Sweet. But in 2022 Sweet played 6 games, 4 as the main ruck and 2 backing up English. His season ave was 71 but those games with English he only managed 33 and 37. As the main ruck he ave 89. I know Conway has been in the system a couple of years but has only played AFL one game and Sweet has some good scores against reasonable opposition (108 vs McInerney 2022) in the past. I look at developing rucks like Bailey Williams at WC and see how he ave 53 in this third season and 77 in his fourth season last year. So I am struggling to see a more expensive Conway ave more than Sweet.

I randomly found a new (?) feature on DFS, which is super handy.

If you want to know, for example, what Taylor Adams averaged when he played 70+% CBAs, bring up his player page, and then click on the individual games that meet the criteria you want to apply.

The average fantasy score and TOG for those names is calculated up the top of the screen.

Eg Taylor Adams / 70+% CBAs / 2021-23

Average: 91.3 SC from 78% TOG (20 game sample)

He’s also 150k+ cheaper than most of those. He has been training at half back virtually every session and was on kick outs for his team in match sim over the week end. It’s a gamble but if he goes 100+ and ends up with defender DPP it’s worth it.

For what it’s worth he is in my initial team, prefer him to Matt crouch who could be dropped at any stage with the crows…
