Clark is priced cheaper than some top rookies in DT but will need to wait and see SC pricing and what discount they give him.

Hypothetically, is Hogan still a lock at $265K if that was his starting price?

When I saw hogan's price in DT, that's what prompted me to look at clark. He's around 50k cheaper than hogan and comes with an ok track record. If he can get a solid preseason, for me I'll take Clark ahead of overpriced rookie.

Have to agree but for me it comes down to the pricing structure of the rookies. If it follows DT then as much as I am not a fan on KPP, especially from the Demons, then I would have to consider Clark.

Buddy should get the number 1 defender, that leaves Tippett...
I might actually go Tippett over Buddy.
Anybody considering Tom Boyd?

Yes he was a lock for me until his DT pricing shot up and I'm assuming that same applies for SC.
But will rethink once the full price list becomes available in SC.

Interesting because Franklin will probably play around Half Forward and Tippett will play the traditional FF role. I would think that Tippett gets the No.1 defender every time.

I'm just not sure about picking a mid priced key forward who plays for the dees. While I do expect some improvement from them next year, I can't see Clark scoring well enough to hold up his end of the deal and be JJK like.

At the moment, I'm thinking danger, dusty, buddy, pav, r, r (r, r, r) which I think will be pretty popular.
Thinking this will be very popular too - exactly what I had in mind

With perhaps a swingman between m/f or more likely r/f

No chance. Don't know if I'd lock him at 115K either
I think at 115K, he's a lock in most teams. He'll make cash which is what we want...
Remember unlike most, Hogan has had a full year playing senior football in the VFL. He kick roughly 40 goals for Casey and won the Best & Fairest so at $115K I think you would be mad to not give him a shot, at least if he failed the other 300K coaches would have to deal with the same problem. At anything over $200K for our rookies then thats when you would strongly reconsider.

It's hard to predict who will get the No.1 defender at this stage.
Depending on where Buddy plays I reckon.

Agreed, very dependent on role who they will get.

However they set up, they're gonna be a bloody handful!

Goodes and Reid will cause some headaches because Longmire has that option to use Tippett and Franklin to occupy the opposing teams best defenders. Cant wait for March to be honest

With the talk of Buddy I have just seen this...

Another Supercoach leak with Lance Franklin starting at a price of $487,700 in 2014.
Pretty sure most people already knew he was going to be about that price anyway.
