Just thinking, with Zaha losing endurance and Heppel battling recurring foot injury, does this open the door for the #1 recruit from 2016 draft to move to a permanent midfield role this year.? Had two good games preseason and opened with a 100+ round 1. With every one on viney could be a sneaky move.?
Simpkin - $383,000 - M/F - BE 7
I think Simpkin is worth a risk, if you are heading in that direction. Interesting he averaged around 81 in Wins last season, which means he averaged around 62 in Losses. If that is an on going trend, that he averages 20 more in Wins than Losses, will he be a good pick?
Nths Draw is: GWS (away), Syd, Haw, WBull (all home),
Simpkin is in the breakout window, and it wouldn't surprise me if he pushed his average into the 90's this season, which at his price is very acceptable for a M/F. For the moment, I'll go without him, but if Nth get an easy patch of Draw, I will definitely be looking at him again.

McGrath - $399,000 - M - BE 30
Funny thing about McGrath. I was having a poor season, and needed a value pick or two to finish my team, and I could see watching the Essendon games, that McGrath had started to play more Mid time. I took him, and he kicked me in the nuts. I ended up trading him out again!
I think his Rnd 1 score was slightly high, just looking at his stats, but we are going to see a lot of that this season. He could turn out to be an inspired pick, and take himself into that 105 area, but at the moment, i'm thinking it's more likely to be in that mid 90's area. Time might prove me wrong, but I'd want more from a mid only at his price.

I shouldn't have been in such a hurry, and I should have checked the numbers! You did give me a whopping hint it was a Carlton player.
SPS is interesting. He has a reputation as a butcher, but I'm at work right now, and can't check to see if that holds up.
In a season where all the rules are out the window, we need to find fun in the game where we can, playing a POD like SPS, is far from the worse move. It's the same reason I'm looking at that certain Sydney player.

. I thought it was one of Florent or SPS. Yes, Heeney more than likely to play forward may open up even more opportunities for Florent, running machine and in that Breakout territory. 
Thanks for the opinion, Brian. Good to get a Carlton man's feedback.
Looking at SPS' Round 1 numbers:
113 SC, 11 K's + 8 H'b @ 58% CP & 89% DE.
2 Tackles, no Marks, Goals, or Goal Assists. 84% TOG and only 211 Metres Gained.
I'm not sure it's good enough to be consistently sustainable.
His DT : SC of 59 : 113 is very worrying. With the shorter quarters this year, a 15% boost on DT : SC is probably do-able, some might even sustain 20%, but SPS was 92% in Rnd 1. A 58% CP rate combined with a 89% DE is not sustainable. Both probably come down, which hurts his score.
0 Frees Against (2 For) and 0 Clangers is also not sustainable going through the season. What he might gain in more Tackles and Marks, probably gets eaten in more Clangers and FA's.
Unless he has further improvement in him, which is well possible, I think he's looking like a Mid 90's player at best, and at $443,300, even though he is D/M I'd want more to his upside, as his upside looks like what you'd need to be happy.
