Jonathon Patton is under investigation for sending "unwanted pictures" of a part of his body to a woman on social media.

Heard about this almost a week ago, looks like it is just making the media now though.

anyone got their eye on a defender in that 160k-250k range this year? there's usually a good pick there and it can help with structure if you have someone near rookie price with good js who you can put at d4/5 without taking on too much risk of a donut. but no one stands out to me there at first blush.
Early days for my 2021 sc research but i am always big on this structure wise too. I am looking at who plays the intercepting and attacking HB roles at north with lachie Young and Flynn Perez around 190-210k. Will Hamill from the crows was starting to hit his straps last year before a nasty head knock. No reason why he isn't best 22 come round one and he is in my early draft team 🙂

Reading the news that Titch might struggle to play Round 1, I decided to take Titch out and put Luke McDonald in, and used the cash to strengthen my rookie stocks, especially in the midfield. I also managed a nice bonus with my cash remaining in doing so. 1610202178091.png

Last season I basically made 100s of teams, and a heap of $0 remaining teams. I didn't end up using any of them, but it's a nice blast from the past to stumble into another one, and although I've only made a handful of teams in 2021 pre-season, I really like the balance of this one.

In terms of winning a flag I hope you are right with Telly and he goes gang busters but.....

When searching for a mid that I could lock in I looked at Telly. He is part of a mid field that seems to share the points around a lot. No Eagle mid has ave over 110 since 2015 when Priddis went 113. Not saying he cannot go 110 plus but as I would have been picking him as a keeper I could not get past the "share the love" scenario WCE midfield seems to have. More than happy to have him go 125 ave and make me look silly if that helps us win a flag though :giggle:
Who gets tagged in the W.C midfield?

Very similar to my team. Guns and rookies. The only mid price I’m considering is preuss

Based on just player development for a 21 year old, I think Rozee would easily average 85. But couple that with a permanent midfield move (might have to wait for the practice matches to see how much time he gets there), I could see him averaging around 95. That could make him a back of the top 10 averaging forward.

Hello Everyone

My current team has $216,300 balance is this too much; what is the amount that should be kept?
View attachment 24701
Yes. I would recommend below $100,000 (ideally below $50,000).

An option could be:
Out: J Lloyd, S Sidebottom, B Campbell, T Kelly
In: Z Williams/B Houli, I Heeney, R Marshall, C Oliver

Thank you for your suggestions,

Houli is a bit of a conundrum for 2021 as Jayden Short would appear to have his spot in the back line.
