Some similar thinking here. Are they going to play Laird, Dawson, Crouch and Berry in there every week? Could be a lottery as to who steps up and gets the 120 scores 
Adding Sam Berry to the mix along with reports of Rachele, Pedlar and then the usual suspects Crouch, Dawson & Laird I don’t know if he will get consistent midfield minutes.
That coupled with Jordan & Fyfe looking really good and I think it’s better to wait and see on the forward line and chase the value with the under 300k F1 structure.
Hmm decision to be made.
For those selecting Grundy only if sole ruck, how do you determine this? When he's having a rotation for a rest on the bench or forward. Horse will always have a back up playing forward, whether Ladhams, Reid or Amartey.
Does sole ruck, see him attend forward plays? or do they have enough tall timber taking boundary throw ins there? As some others have stated previously, his output might be limited due to their style of play and the ground configuration.

Completely agree with this. Have a watch list of rd 0 players and a key couple that will dictate structure heading into rd 1.
Watchlist:
- Grundy: already mentioned on here but is he sharing ruck with Ladhams? If so an easy pass for me. Line in the sand is he has to ruck solo.
- Billings: Has been lost before at that high HF role at the saints. I actually rate him so if he looks good (any score above 65-70) I’ll take him.
- Jordon: basically locked with the injuries but still good to watch role. Especially with Horse as coach lol.
- Williams: Will he be picked? If not makes it easy to trade in post bye for a failing pick (will defs have one with the volume of MP’s I’ve got right now!) law of averages lol
Lohmann: Will he be picked
Flanders: Was never really on the bandwagon tbh. Even if he scores 120, with all of the under 300k selections in play I think it’s likely I go Fyfe F1. Right or wrong after looking at multiple structures, think that value in the fwd line is the play. I’ve decided that I’ll die on the Fyfe F1 hill.
Sexton: Role looks great
Wehr: If picked Wehr will he spend the most of his time?
Daicos: Selfishly hoping for a score under 100 to make my decision to trade after his bye easier.
Haven’t mentioned a couple obvious ones like Coleman or Gulden etc as I see them as premium trade in targets post bye.
Have I missed anyone?

Can't speak for everyone else but Reid/Amartey/McLean are forwards, who will have some ruck time (just when Grundy is resting)
Ladhams is a ruck, who isn't a very good forward, who would definitely eat into Grundy's ruck time.
It's a bit of a non-issue though personally, no chance Ladhams plays Round 0 (or Round 1) - they had a short break between the practice match and opening round so played Ladhams. Amartey/McLean/McDonald/Grundy all played lower TOG because of it. McLean is the secondary ruck for the real season.

I thought he looked great but it was WCE (sorry WCE fans lol)
Based on everything we've seen, I think he's 4th in the CBA's (~30%) behind the big 3 and above Berry. Berry barely had any CBA's first half, and basically got them in Q3/Q4 at the expense of Crouch/Dawson and then Rankine when he went off.
I actually think Berry will be sub to start the season, although he was great yesterday so a bit stiff.
To make matters worse (or better) - if Berry is sub, we won't know when teams are out as they just name 23, so some might miss out on Rankine (or even Crouch) with Berry looking like he's in the 22.

Probably need to make a decision on D'Amb and his role. He looks a classy player but probably need to way up if the wing role and fluctuation of scoring we'll probably see in that role is worth it? Any thoughts? He really needs to find more of it but like yesterday there will be periods where the ball just doesn't get to his side.
I'd prefer Williams scoring if he gets to Round 1.
I like Massimo though. Morrisson to come back into the side (rested I believe) but the wings should be Massimo & Morrison with MacDonald I assume eating up whatever time is left.
It's a tough one, if he was $123K he'd be a lock. Is he going to score that much more than Coffield? I don't think so. But Coffield makes a great D7 rather than having a bench of Reid/Phillips etc.
