Williams looks decent, not sure he'll be able to keep Vardy or Hickey out of the side too long if he play round 1 though.
That’s the thing. Williams will get games, but might be hard to string a 6-8 block together to make enough cash.

Love having him at the club as a player though. Big future ahead.

I've been bullish on McGrath for 2-3 years... have started him most years to only have to trade him 6-8 rounds in... With Heppell in doubt, Zerrett will prob cop a tag and that would open the door for McGrath. I don't see him scoring 100+ every week or to rival any top midfielder... but decent value.

Mind you, now with the leadership group irellevant, Zerrett could be in for a big year.. no added pressure, can just go out and find the footy.

That’s exactly my hesitation on him. $335k seems a bargain but I worry he does enough to stay in your side all year only to let you down in finals or when you need him.
I don’t think you could expect to keep him.. as LITS suggested, hope he kicks a few bags with 5/8 home games to start season then upgrade him with a tidy profit

I fell asleep after half time and missed all the action. I quite like Shuey's game, he might be the beneficiary of attention going to Kelly. Not sure he'll be in my starting lineup though.

I wouldn’t worry so much about that.. throw a better and more determined midfield in and the delivery will improve.. the point was he actually moved well for the first time in a long time
My understanding is that he was playing on the Irishman playing his first ever game of footy?? (and as part of a defence that included a bunch of guys that haven't played together)

I'd be a bit cautious about those 6 goals becoming 3 (and the 100 becoming 70) even with improved delivery.

Worth keeping an eye on, but won't be expecting a top 10 forward scorer, or making masses of cash.

(Odds are I end up buying him at 420K in the second half of the season when I don't have enough money to upgrade to anyone at a higher price)
