Nope. Would have to have an exceptional preseason / preseason games and significant enough midfield role for me to even consider. Made of paper the last few years, and NTH with plenty of young blokes to role through the midfield along with Cunnington, Anderson and Dumont. Playing as a forward for NTH doesn’t scream SC friendly role either.
Not sure when SC Gold will close so posting here just for my own reference as much as anything. Currently running a fairly mid pricer heavy side. Couldn't get comfortable with any FWDs outside of Marshall and Heeney (??? over all of Dusty, Dunkley, Danger, Sidey, Zorko) so running slightly mid pricer/premium rookie heavy up fwd.
wow that's amazing
I was thinking how a Marshall + Heeney starting forward line with Brown , Ziebell & Daniher would make the rest of your side look.
Wait for all the other premium forwards to drop in price.
Would like to finally start Gawn & Grundy , so I would need to drop Heppell and do some $$$ shuffling but 4 defence , 5 premium mid looks very workable
I just have to stay away from that article about the best 50 midpricers especially those midfielders priced in the $ 300k bracket.

There's plenty of value in midfielders around that $300K price this year though. Could easily start 3-4 good ones in your team. Definitely worth a read. 
(Seriously, it's buyer beware if you do, as usual).

I already was thinking Neale , Macrae + 4 or 5 of them.
Of course they will all average 90+ , rise to $ 500k + and then I just sideways them to fallen mid premiums at Bye time.

Here is some more info on Ziebell :-
Jack Ziebell (North Melbourne) FWD $257,900 2020 average: 48
No doubt he comes with an element of risk after being restricted to eight games last season. But if Ziebell does play the halfback role which has been mooted, there’s no reason he can’t return to his scoring feats of 2019 when he averaged 90.9 KFC SuperCoach points. Before an injury-riddled 2020 the Roos skipper hadn’t averaged less than 81 since 2012. At $257k it’s almost like picking a top-priced rookie and you’d take an 80-85 average from Will Phillips, for example.
