Has DPP and is capable of averaging around the high 80 to low 90 range which would be great at his starting price and could be kept all season as a F7/M9 if possible.
True. I think that you can only take one of Caldwell and Green though. Caldwell more likely to be a keeper but if he’s not up to it, your season takes a hit.

I don’t think 85-92 is great for that price. It’s barely going to get him $100k and it’s not enough for a keeper in any position.
you might end up with that from a pick but that’s how it crumbles but to actually target that on a $350k investment is to me anyway too low expectations. At that price I think you’d want him 90-100 and even then there’s the risk that you can’t upgrade him when you want to and he becomes a list clogger for too long in your side.

Who are these 3 mid price players? Geez the premo defenders are looking good. These new rules help them heaps
Cumming , Young have a list of about 10-12 others in that price range that could work.

Save $$$ on D3 to D5 spend up big elsewhere (need to find value somewhere).

So many premium defenders on offer I am thinking those like H Clark , Duggan , Williams etc could actually be traps , score just enough to tease , but then leave you behind at full upgrade time.

If they do go gang busters their starting price shouldn't make them unachievable by upgrade time.

I have (like many) been keen on Laird , Lloyd , Stewart , Whitfield so perhaps a opportunity to see who the next 2 are.

10-12 went 100+ last season , would need to nail all 5 from the start if you that deep , assuming you leave a spot for Whitfield.

Based on scores Impey , Dow , Cahill , Henry , Waterman all look dodgy now , Kelly injured that's 6 already after 4 games , might need to bolster our starting forward lines.

Just a thought

Harrison Jones looked like a handy bench played. If he kicks a goal he would of pushed closer to a score of 60. Only will get better and looks like a player Essendon needs to get games into
Does Stringer affect his position in anyway ?

Lloyd,mills,Stewart,short with Clark and rookie in def with laird sitting at M4 atm. I think Caleb Daniel will be one to benefit from the new rules as well.

Does Dangerfield look like he can play a full game Rd1? Last month it was reported that he's a month behind schedule for Rd1.
My biggest worry is can Adelaide put up enough of a fight that they keep Danger in the mids all game. If it's over too early I can see him resting froward/spending a little more time off the ground. No point taking chances if they don't need to!

Round 1 has minimal impact on his price anyway, best possible time to ease into it.

Think there will be a fair few guys off the back of the short preseason and limited preseason matches that are eased in, Danger is one of the few who still scores as a forward though.

That's 6 then.

No room for Whitfield , Ryan , Ridley etc etc

I guess it depends on where you think the rookie strength is , seems on scores so far 6-8 of the more popular onfield options look dodgy , so if we replace them with bench options , where are the new 6-8 rookies coming from ?

Was thinking something like

1- 4 x $ 300k range - Rookie

Danger , Laird & 3.....
Cripps @ M6

Gawn , Grundy

Dusty , Heeney + Ziebell & Daniher

would leave 5 onfield rookies

one of the $ 300k defenders could be Heppell (via Laird)

Come tomorrow Ling , Chapman , Jones , Murray & Briggs all look viable we might be drowning in defender rookies 😀 and everything changes again

Very good points! For what's worth, I've got him locked in after seeing how well the Hawkins/Cameron 1-2 punch looked. Can see Danger being majority mid then resting forward and kicking the big dogs out of his 50m arc. Should add up to a comfortable F1 (and could be by a considerable margin) so meets my goal of trying to nail D1, M1, R1 and F1 in my starting team!
