Does anyone have the starting price formula handy? Think I would be better off starting preparing for 2021 than attempting to improve my 2020 team at this point...
My words of caution would be that it is a vastly different game this year ... normally I would track BE's etc but have discarded them this year due to a lack of interest and stability / predictability ..

6/698 Neale C.
Got home late from work and had to rush trades. Decided to get Skinner. Put E on him instead of Aarts. Now no way of getting Aarts score, and have to lock in Skinner's 26, rookie error! Still projected over 2200, so see how that goes.

Isn't he the captain and just had three games off? Seems very strange to be managed against the top side too.
With a history of recurring hamstring injuries in the past , I would certainly be looking after him.

probably all about load management , a full game off might be better than restricted game time

4 day break , a flight

might need him to stay in the hub to keep an eye on Brooke as well

they could change their mind by then and decide to play him

But also, if I genuinely did have something wrong with my body, I am smart enough to know that my body is bigger than one game … but my scans were “relatively”good this week, so it's all systems go “at this stage”

The wording “relatively”. Followed by “at this stage”

Not a Doctor, but why get scans if nothing is wrong.

Draper got to be a certainty RIGHT.?

They were both playing their second game, so it wasn't going early. JS was certainly an issue and probably meant they should have been avoided.[/QUOTE
You would think Ballendon will remain as back up to the BIG O.

precautionary , so that further assessment can be made just in case their is (or isn't) a issue

ie let's have a look just in case , we don't think it's too troublesome but better to be safe than sorry

again though I am not a doctor either

Of bigger interest is what got scanned ?

And can it be managed short term and how eg injections

Interestingly, Ballenden only used at 1 of the 20 CBAs. The same as Skinner.

Makes you wonder if when McStay comes back in next week if Skinner survives, and plays a more friendly role (for him I'd suspect) as a third tall forward behind Hipwood and McStay. The Big O could/has been doing majority of the ruck work, and would be able to receive forward half chop outs from any of Hipwood/McStay/Skinner, and even in the defensive half I think in the past I've seen Harris Andrews occasionally take a boundary throw in.

It's be interesting, even with a poor game last night you still feel football wise Skinner is ahead of Ballenden.

They'll be without Rayner next game as well. Will be interesting to see what happens. It might not be too bad for Skinner owners.

Only will be $ 131k according to the price projection tweet so could still be a viable option if he stays in the side.

Fagan was saying Bam Bam , Birchall & Lester should all be available for selection as well so keen to see if Witherden stays ahead of say Starcevich.

Gold Coast might have a debutante announcement today , so plus Watson and the 2 Crows boys + Hosie , lots of choices could be viable.

Starce 45 may look bad on paper but who is going to beat it (rookie wise) this round .... tough oppo too and just fell short of his BE ...

- Might have one in mind but up against another strong team too ...
I agree, but I was not thinking of rookies.
With Ridley, Steward. Saad, Doedee, Steele, Duncan, Gawn, Grundy, Ryder, Petracca, Whitfield and Bennell to come plus rookies like Simpson, Anderson, Close, Rankine and King I can hope that at least 12 of them will score more than 45.

And worth every cent!
Gawn and Neale both possibly $ 800 k.

Throw in Grundy , Lloyd , 3 premium mids that's pretty much $ 4.5 to $ 5 million for 7 players.

$ 1 million for the bench.

$ 4 - $ 4.5 million remaining for 15 players
