Taylor looks like he has the highest scoring potential out of that group as a high half forward.
Budarick looks good and Cavarra coming in with no preseason game time must mean that the Doggies rate him.
Sturt and Georgiadis look like slow burns, King could be as well but he has shown some glimpses if he can get his confidence up (and lose the yips he already looks like he has kicking for goal).
Bedford and Davis look like fringe options for mine - their scoring might be dependent on them kicking goals in limited TOG which is always risky for a small forward.

Midfielders did okay. I thought Cripps looked very influential live but he only ended up on 112.
Forwards seem to struggle a bit more. May have just been the nature of this game in particular which seemed to be high scoring and fast paced. TJ, JRoo poor. J.Martin had a MASSIVE game but only had 107 in the end, thought he might've ended up on 130.

Available on footywire, I'm pretty sure the ITC column is the Intercept Possession stat. Seasonal average of 4.4 IPs. Not that high in the end but looking at FF his role seems to have changed a lot in 2018 so had he played full time HB, may have been higher.
Found a good stat too trying to do a @Connoisseur. Where Whitfield had 3+ IPs in 2018, he averaged 106 SC. In 2019, with 3+ IPs, he averaged 115.

Seems to me that being clean with disposals is going to be even more influential on SC scoring than last season. Means the Crouch brothers will be proper in the proverbial.
Soldo had 90% DE tonight and had 3 free kicks for and 0 against. 25 HO and probably 20-25% of those were HTA's at least. If more, then he's actually had a night out for only 100 points. That's the flip side of thinking. I think Gawn and Grundy will need to have big impacts with disposals to have their top tier scores like previous seasons.

So lock in Grundy and Gawn for 150+ then...
Not much the wiser on the rucks but my general perception was that the game was really fast paced which meant less stoppages. IIRC there were some comments from Ratten that he expected games to be faster paced due to the shorter games, if that's the trend it could be the case that rucks suffer a little from having less HOs from stoppages.
Mids might suffer slightly as well due to less stoppages. Half back flankers would love it!
However, it is only the first game of round 1!
