Given forward rookies are usually rubbish and aside from the midfielders listed as forwards, none of the premos really jump out at their price, I'm looking for one/maybe two stepping stone 200k-400k type players as standby options for F4/5 if the rookies don't show up.
Last year I had Hogan F5 ($383k, made 100k by Round 5) and almost started Dunkley at F6 ($296k, averaged 95.1 for the season).
There was also Jed Anderson ($258k) who made it to $461k by round 11 averaging 86.5 before getting injured and to a lesser extent, Zac Fisher (263k, made 120k by round 8 averaging 83 to that point).
It would seem we're looking for injury discounted players who can go big or low-priced young mids listed as forwards. Any smokeys this year, apart from the obvious types (JJK perhaps just fits the category)?
Anyone got info on VandenBerg maybe?
