Assuming a bounce back of some degree from Melbourne early on in 2020 and Oliver is looking very nice at that price.
Zerrett will be tempting as usual but Boak might be a bit of a poison pill with a clear focus on getting more speed and better users of the ball into the midfield at Port next year, if the rumours are true (eg. SPP being on the trade block).
Yeo and Gaff looking very tempting as well - consistently pumping out that solid 105+ average with prospects of edging above the 110+ mark if things go right.
Dammit I'm already looking at butcherers of the ball - one thing I'll definitely be repeating to myself over and over again over the summer is "contested ball and DE, contested ball and DE, CONTESTED BALL AND DE!!!".
It's a shame I'll probably forget about it as soon as I start putting a team together next year.

Yep, pretty hard to argue with those stats, but what if Grundy is at another club next year, a concern?
I'm hoping I won't have to worry about it

With I Rankine not debuting this season it makes my premium less fwd line even more enticing. Also didn't realise Nic Nat has only played 3 games this season so he will be very appealing if he's around $400,000.
Near locks so far for 2020 for me would consist of B Grundy, R Laird, S Docherty, C Ward, D Smith, J Macrae, T Mitchell, J Kelly, N Fyfe and C Wingard.

They always seem to turn up (as much as everyone, including me, freaks out about it every year).
If we are a couple short I can always downgrade or eliminate a premium. Might as well start the process with the good ones though. There’s seldom millions left in extra cash to allow room for all the big guns at the end!
