Got all of them minus Salem atm but plus Laverde, although three of them are in my mids. Could mean Swan starting at M5..

Salem, Clark, Hogan, Krakouer and Lonie at the moment. As good a scorer as Lambert could be if he plays I don't see a spot for him in the Richmond team where he isn't wearing a vest, Karnezis isn't a lock in Coll's best 22 from what I've seen, Lamb looks good but not convinced yet.

You also missed Steele who looks pretty good and could see early gametime for GWS.

Is Caleb Daniel on anyone's list?
He's on the radar that's for sure, rated highly by Champion Data but not as high by AFL coaches judging by where he was selected in the draft.

This is due to his height of 168cm, otherwise looks to have the skills. Would have thought he may thrive with Libba injured as an inside player.

Seemed to get his hands on the ball yesterday although overall score not great. Cont poss solid, maybe doesn't have an outside game which is impacting his score and lack of kicks (1:4 ratio rather than 1:1). still on radar, not a lock yet.

NVB doesn't look like starting in my side hasn't done much, there's better options out there.
He will probably start in my side and then get traded out for the best option I didn't have pre-round 3. He won't get vested and will play round 1, so his js is much better than other options imo.

Johno - if it wasn't for these two reasons, I wouldn't be starting him and he wouldn't start if I didn't have a 4/4 midfield :rolleyes:

Add Daniel & Lonie to the likely list, plus , although there's getting to be plenty of good options that I might only need 3 FWD premiums from the start (?).

I can't see him being a big scorer.
He's playing as a KPF in a struggling, but improving side. That means the odd good score, but more likely 60's. You'd only pick him for his JS, as if he stays fit, he plays.

malceski is gone, there has to be a reshuffle, reid and a couple of others by no means a lock. he was injured late last year, just as much of a chance as towers/heeney depending who they prefer. little brother of the captain and seemingly too good for the reserves.

I would guess McVeigh will take over Malceski's role and Tom Mitchell will slot into the midfield.

I think Jetta was doing the old Ceski role last round

Either way Brandon Jack only had 4 disposals and low TOG today. Paying $150k you want to be sure he is playing each week given cheaper options appear to be available
