Discussion 2021: Strategy, Team & Player Discussions

Paddy Dow. Lots started him as a rookie in midfield as Pick 3. Now cheaper than his rookie price and mid/fwd dpp.
Any info on him?

Very hard to know who will actually play early in the season, but my guess would be:
1. Archie Perkins - I expect him to probably get games early since the Bombers really need some forward prowess. If he pinch hits in the midfield, he might score ok.
2. Finlay Macrae - Should score well if he gets games on a HFF/wing. I think he's a chance to play with Stephenson gone and Mayne getting on a bit.
3. Riley Thilthorpe - While a key forward, he's got a ready-made AFL body and could become a key target for the Crows.
4. Bailey Laurie - Melbourne need a small forward so he should get games, but is unlikely to score particularly well.

Good info, much appreciated, does McDonald play at Sydney?

In a supercoach keepers league, need your help please. Out of the current draftees which forward would be the best supercoach scorers?
1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
Much appreciated your thoughts.
The reason is we play a rookie keeper league.

Depends whether you're looking short or long term in your keeper. Hollands and Perkins are probably the best in terms of finding those much sort after MID/FWD Bont/Dunks/Petracca/Dusty types. I think JUH and McDonald will be really solid keeper FWD scorers once they have had a few years in the system, even as key forwards. Thilthorpe for me is the harder one to judge, if he eventually settles in a more Rowan Marshall type role for the Crows he could be a fantastic get, but I'm not quite so sure if he's more just a Tom Lynch forward type.

If he is named round 1 then definitely worth a look although it would be a punt on his JS versus other options at the time.

I hold him in a keeper league and he has been very underwhelming for such a high pick, Lack of development partially due to poor skills, lack of hardness and in 2020 injury and lack of a VFL season would be my take so far.

I think he will still come good to be a solid B Grader if all goes well and should be capable of averaging 65-70 ppg as a F5-F7 option if he pans out in 2021.

Which would you rather as starters: Pay for 670k mids in Petracca/Steele on the back of one season or spend overs for someone like a Sidebottom/Zorko up forward who should be up there in highest averaging fwds with proven history?

Definitely fwd combo imo

Probably in bits and drabs, depending on whether Reid and Buddy are fit!

Darcy Cameron is an interesting one here (from a Keeper League owner perspective), as the articles last week had him being a RUC only. Where's this list has him as a FWD only. Little bit nervous as a KL owner hahaha. Need that Grundy handcuff.

Why not none?

I think your reasons to avoid them all are right.

Looking back, last year SC opened to all those with SC Gold on 23 December. Has anyone heard when it is likely to be available for the 2021 season? Looking like it could be within a week or so if they repeat last year.

Saw a tweet today from someone associated with HS (might’ve been Sammy Edmund) saying SC team picker not far away.

Hard to know whether this is good news or bad... either he has come in and looks amazing in pre-season: FHOF Mk 3 or (more likely) our rebuild team is so bad that anybody with half decent skills is a walk up start
