With regards to the Melbourne squad of 31 above, it’s my understanding that 23 of them will play the first four ‘quarters’ with the remaining eight to play with VFL players for the final three ‘quarters’.
Judging by training today, it would appear that the eight are likely to consist of Oliver, Salem, Hore, Tholstrup, Jefferson, Adams, Farris-White and Sestan.

Just do not place too much emphasis on the Sinclair injury as a means of consideration for Wanganeen-Milera nor the internal trial match given the opposition, etc. Do not recall calf awareness being used previously but gather it is similar to hamstring awareness in what they are trying to relay and thus taking a conservative approach. If you expect Sinclair to miss a significant amount of the season and for this to be beneficial for NWM, then it may hold some relevance.

I have been stuck at this point too with the early byes.
The 40 trades this season means we can go more aggressive with value, thus it suits a more mid-priced value strategy, rather than the old GnR strategy. However, the early season byes lean more to the GnR strategy with the best 18 being recorded.
I'm leaning to a change in my early strategy, with an extra premium, and mid-pricer dropping to a rookie for this very reason, rather than the more modern value strategy.
I think by round 6 with byes finished we will be able to downgrade an injured or poor performing premium to the mid-pricer then.

He definitely could be considered with 40 trades, maybe even as your finishing M8, I find it more fun to punt on guys like Nick Martin or George Wardlaw to breakout rather than hope someone who formerly scored well can get back to scoring well...I just think it's more fun.
Remember also guys' positions will change throughout the year depending on how the team is going, if their structure isn't working and they're losing too many games coaches will make changes.

No. Would greatly temper expectations from a 105 avg given the situation has changed since then in regards to Port’s midfield makeup and do not feel that it can enable Wines to go 105+ with Rozee and Butters.
Historically a poor kick with low time on ground which greatly limits his ceiling, his game style is not suited to supercoach and at the current price feel that the risk outweighs the reward considering the options available on other lines or in the midfield around $100,000 either side of him. If selecting, you need to be well aware of what you are getting yourself into and whether you persist with the variation or sub 100 scores early on.

Best not to place any importance in the already meaningless pre season matches and more so for internal club trials given the lack of quality opposition and due to the nature as a glorified training drill. This time of season should only be beneficial for rookie priced players and low end midpricers rather than used as a means to decide between high end midpricers or premiums.
I’m firmly of the view he’ll struggle this year. Might still get some inside mid rotations but he’s too slow and too one dimensional. If Port start poorly he’ll be in strife, and even if he’s playing well the mix still won’t be great given they have so many guns to rotate through the middle.
He’ll have the odd 120+ game but will also have a lot in the 80’s range. I think best case is he goes at 90 but with big variation between floor and ceiling.
I think he’ll end up in no man’s land.. won’t score enough to be a keeper or make enough cash to be a successful stepping stone.
