Steele vs Brayshaw vs Taranto at M5 as the most likely keeper for M8.
Really struggling here.
I think it unlikely that B.Crouch plays 20+ games and I don't like the pick as a stepping stone, thus he isn't in my calculations.
Steele's: role has changed since the midfield coach arrived mid year last year, now a real two way player as opposed to a run-with/tagger but is also in a team expected to again get pummelled and has no real ruckman!
Brayshaw: Is breaking out now! Should be getting more inside midfield time and less wing time but Melbourne still have Ollie,Viney and Harmes in there, combined with poor DE%/clanger count makes me wonder whether he can go past 105.
Taranto: Slightly cheaper, no Shiel, so midfield time increase is a given, no Ward for the first 4 or so weeks due to injury, Kelly? no one knows what is going on with Kelly and proven to score big when at least one of the big gun mids are missing. The odds of another high first round draft pick with 37 games to his name breaking out for a 105 season?
