North Melb.

Dunkley an interesting prospect for next season. Couldn’t beat the +20ppg breakout curse in 2020, but in 2021, he just needs to bounce back to 110 to be a good pick.
Only concern is that the Doggies have five midfielders to fit into four spots (three on-field + bench rotation). I think I might be avoiding all but Macrae (who can't really play anywhere else) at the start of the year.

surely Dunkley is a lock as Mid/Ruck/fwd eligible :ROFLMAO:

maybe Hunter is the safest of them all then

I gather the 5 are Bazlenka , Bont , Dunks , Libba & Macrae

Cripps finishing on around a 97.5 avg. Will be around 530-540k I think. I think he’ll be locked for me at that price.

Heppell and Cripps locked in!
I have him at $ 529,425.00.

Looks like I am about $ 20-30k under Brice Mitchell's calculations though.

I am sure he will have price projections for 2021 up and available for every single player at the end of tonight's game though.

He is a machine.

I am using 5450 as the magic number which I think I reverse engineered from one of Brice’s predictions. Just only a rough estimate though and it has Cripps at 531k.

I am using 5430 as it it easier to remember (and was Fyfes exact number for his price this year) , so I am not sure what % it will increase by next year.

It will be interesting to see how they handle smaller list sizes if it happens. Total pool each year is about $250 million. Gawn might be $900k!!!
That's a very good point.

Been seeing 35 floating around which I guess is the main list.

Not sure if their are then extras for the different rookie categories.

I wonder if clubs might recruit more mature aged players as rookies in case they need them ready to play.

Perryman as a DEF is one I would be very interested in.
Perryman classified as a Wing (MID) at this stage per the summaries. Played all over the ground so will be interesting to see if his move to the defence is enough to grab him DEF eligibility.
FWIW AFL Player Ratings summary table has Harry Perryman still as a Wing (MID).
His percentage breakdown would be really interesting to see, feel like he could genuinely be ~30% DEF, ~40% MID, ~30% FWD type numbers.

Fyfe MID per the AFL Player Ratings summary tables.

However, we did see a mistake a week or two back with Whitfield being listed as MID/FWD, and then corrected the following week.
So who knows, still might get him as a MID/FWD, certainly started forward of at a lot of the stoppages with Walters and Tabener out in Round 18. Be interesting to see if it might've been enough to get FWD eligibility for him.

That's probably the worst result... I'm dreading Devon being a mid only with similar numbers (it would really hurt me in SCSUL as that wasn't what I was expecting!)
