Too expensive given the quality of first and second year rookies (and fallen mid-pricers) on offer this year.
I thought the knock on him was his tank and lacking a bit of speed? Not something that is likely to be fixed in his first pre-season and once again behind a number of second to fourth year players.
As an aside I don't think playing forward is necessarily a put off for a rookie mid if they have speed / agility and a nose for - a number of rookies proved to be solid cash cows and looping options deep into the season last year playing largely forward of the ball.
Just my likely somewhat uninformed $0.02...

There is a gap created by Beams missing. Also I think Sidey may have moved more out of the CBs last season. I think if Sier shows good enough form to make the side, he should get decent CBs. Adams/Treloar probably the clear top 2, after that Pendles/Sidey but they seem more versatile so could be shuffled around to create a spot for Sier if he’s good enough.

I've got him too and he was my first picked after the premos because I wanted to fit him in.
A ton of SC potential for a decent price there as an inside contested possession midfield bull who also has a burst of speed and the strength to ride or break through tackles (including multiple tacklers), even if he doesn't have other strings to his bow.
Where have you placed Sier ?
I currently have pencilled in Rowell , Anderson/Bonar & Pickett as my M6-M8 , so Sier at M5 might be one spot too high.
Currently have Hill & Young though at D5 & D6 , from reading a few articles doesn't appear likely that Starcevich , Williamson & Brander will be named Round 1.
Against all rules , I have the 8 popular mid pricers in my latest team until Round 1 teams drop and the picture is clearer.
I guess everything will come down to where the rookies are.

Sier M6, Rowell M7 for me.
I don’t have Bonar or Anderson but you can’t have them all. I think I will take three of Rowell, Sier, Young, Anderson and Bonar.
No Starcevich is interesting, he seemed to be talked up by quite a few. Spot there with Hodge finishing up.
I think Brander and Williamson may be on the cusp so agree with those assessments

Interesting with Starcevich , have read varying articles on him.
Some have Ah Chee or Birchall taking Hodgey's spot , CEY assumingly fits into the 22 somewhere as well.
Wait and see I guess.
Would like to have 5 mid premiums to start as well so Sier at M6 makes sense.
Good thing about Anderson & Bonar is they are priced the same so good to use as a starting point.
Just all a bit of a waiting game at the moment.

Williamson seems highly rated internally reading various footy boards - Played full intra club iirc - interesting if Teague rates him
Starcevich keeps getting praised by Zorko etc but where does he fit in? Does he kick Answerth out?
Brander another you keep hearing positive things about - keep hearing this wing role he is set for by Gaff etc
Rowell/Young/Hill/Pickett/Rankine/King are the only certainties at this stage IMO
