Position SC 2021: Midfielder Discussion

[Dimmawit]

I didn't expect Treacy to play round one anyway, the fact he's playing reserves a week out is not a strong case for being in the team.

Fully expecting Darcy to come back at FF and be eased in. Best case for picking Meek and Meek will have every chance to usurp the #1 ruck position. Best case is basically that Darcy plays well as a forward and they stick with it. Will probably be a 60/40 ruck split which still makes Hunter a better pure play for a 6 week punt but also with a far greater chance of busting out in 3.

Flynn still clearly ahead of either for mine.

Still expecting Fyfe has a 70/30 split. Also wouldn't he shocked if a Logue or Pearce did go forward but mostly expecting Darcy.

Also worth noting that Fyfe's starting price is based on several games of almost full forward time (was genuinely surprised he didn't get DPP this year) so it's not like he can't score there and it's not like Lobb or Craberner were taking the best defender over Fyfe whenever he's forward anyway!

Ok Wogitalia he's back in my team. I'm relying on you!

You probably would expect him to nail all these things already if you want to consider picking him at 700k+

Those of us picking Taranto - be ready to complain about his kicking as much as possible on here. Never mind letting it go, get frustrated and vent it.

I would like to enjoy supercoach a lot more. I've worked hard during the off season managing my time, resting in the garden, switching off my device, listening to the birds. Letting others take more of the limelight and being the best 10,000th ranked player I can be.

Puff piece to fill in time.

I've had a couple of calf injuries and he must be superman because the last thing I could do was improve my running with an injured calf.

What is everyone's thoughts on Rowell?

I think he has played 4 games of AFL.

What do people think Heppell will score this year?

 

[Buddy Starmart]

Seeing as I start Neale Macrae Merrett Cripps but they all out in the middle bye should I spread out my starting mids from all byes thoughts

Start em and if u like others from the other 2 byes target those. Byes might end up jumbled again this year anyway.

I reckon he can go 90+

Concur. Could start a bit sluggishly though as he builds some fitness up and their backline works out the respective roles.

I still think he's a solid pick if you really don't like the rookies and happen to have the 200k lying around.

Currently have Oliver locked in at M1 but am starting to get some cold feet. Can any track watchers or Dees fans give me some confidence in his fitness leading into round 1? Was the general soreness code for his shoulder isn't up to it or something else?

Really thinking about flicking him to Steele, Jelly or Fyfe so please convince me either way someone. And the irony isn't lost on me considering moving off the ever durable Oliver to the perennially injured Jelly or Fyfe.

I've been following Melbourne training reports and from what I've read, he's been a standout at pre-season training. He was apparently training without issue in the sessions before and after the Bulldogs game and hasn't missed a beat since.

Currently my M1.

I'm really struggling to convince myself that Merrett will be a certain Top 8 midfielder this year.

Why was he so average in 2018 & 2019? Are we sure he won't return to this form?

Thank you, consider my mind at ease!

Getting cold feet with my 5 def premo structure, and considering dropping one of Short, Stewart, Daniel.

Is there a workable narrative around Walsh, And. Brayshaw, McCluggage for a structure change? For reference I have Cripps but not Neale and Fyfe.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I think we all start to get cold feet around this time, have confidence in yr selections over the preseason and hold fast where needed. Nothing worst than changing a player you had all preseason to watch him gun it.
