Wrong Powell.
I like Caldwell though, more upside, better keeper potential (personal opinion but I think the defender D6 cutoff may be as much as 10 points higher than F6 this year) and I think better job security and role.
Powell I don't think is worth the premium over Young, Clark, Jiath et al that are 70k+ cheaper. I like Powell but with Bowes, Budarick, Harbrow and Markov they've got a fair bit of rebounding to share around. Lukosius also in the mix.

I think Daniel has a higher ceiling but the tag factor is legitimate and pulls the rug out a bit. Ultimately I don't think you go wrong with either but a couple of good tags on Daniel and he's going to be a juicy upgrade target while Stewart to me isn't likely to get the attention and with his intercept ability on top is less likely to be a lot cheaper than his starting price.

I've just succumbed to the Ziebell pick.
I watched the North game the other day and thought he was beyond horrid as a defender.
But North seem to be backing him in.
Can't see it lasting, but gotta be on while it does hey?
Was keen on a few of the FWD premos, but with a majority of the rookies putting their hand up being FWDs means I've now got Ziebell at F2.

That's basically the train of thought I came to.
Has always been an OK scorer so if the role goes he should still make a bit, but I do think he's a bit cooked regardless of where he lines up, but I'll go with the crowd on this one. I'll make my POD/antiPOD picks on other lines I think.
An early injury would be the only real bust factor.

Agree with Wogitalia, just wouldn't over think Ziebell. Sure his pricing is up there at 257k, like some of our defenders he could be just ok or could be a beneficiary of cheap handballs. I personally don't think a lot of people watch NM games last year (funny that!), Luke McDonald is one of the worst disposal players yet was a premium defender for SC last year.
The ball was in the back line that much, the decisions coming out were awful, Ziebell's poor kicking will be considered average in that team, not below average on a relative NM rating.
NM will be the poster child this year for how the draft is too slow in helping weak teams turnaround.
