Ridley vs. Dunkely
@wogitalia - I know you are big on Ridley. Thoughts here mate?
This is my last point of selection. I expect vast majority say Dunkley but I think there is an argument Ridley is the lower risk selection. Would love ppls thoughts

Docherty v Stewart - my thoughts - Both capable of scoring similar with Doch a high ceiling. Doch now fully recovered from knee more likely to get back to prior scoring levels so more upside. go Doc
Walsh v Mcluggage - Walsh still early for breakout but proven SC scorer has high ceiling, McLuggage is 4th potential increase/breakout to high level. unsure probably 50/50 may look at bye options as decider.
Cripps v Taranto - Cripps down year and capable of getting back to 2018/19 117/119 average. Taranto is 4th year improvement option that got injured in 2020. Avg 102 in 2019. Could go to 110, probably a 105+ player so M8 at current price of 453K
Comments appreciated. At this stage likely to start Doc, Walsh and Cripps

Legitimately a very tough one, I have both right now.
Dunkley - Higher ceiling, he's a couple of injuries from 120 capability and probably should push 110 regardless just from being fit again. Bevo factor and Treloar factor are both negatives and durability has been shaky. Dunkley full time forward would be a mid 90s type, so there is downside.
Ridley - I think can push 110 this year but I'd be surprised if he went much beyond that and he doesn't have the same ceiling. Intercept, kick-in and primary rebounder combination is fantasy gold and a consistent role, Sicily, Ryan and Ridley really the only 3 that do it. I think Heppell is more of a retainer in the area than Saad who tended to gung ho run into and out of and into trouble before kicking it long, Heppell is going to look sideways first and second to the more penetrating players, Ridley is the top of the list of those. Kind of similar to how Simpson operated alongside Docherty at his peak. Be surprised if Ridley is below 95 barring injury.
Perhaps the biggest factor between these two though for me is the rookie they're going to be pushing off the field and out of the side. The back rookies look putrid right now, I'd say there are at least 5 forward rookies I'd want on the field or in my team before getting to Highmore as my top defensive rookie. I'd say that Henry and Jones, near the bottom of the barrel, are equivalent to Kosi who is the clear 2nd best back rookie right now.
That rookie factor gives Ridley the edge to me. If both score 110, which is what I'm hoping for having picked them, then Scott for example is another 10 points on Highmore for mine.
Pure upside play though Dunkley has more hurt factor to not have, he could easily be the top forward by 10 points a game this year, Ridley I think is going to be one of about 4 guys in that 105-110 range in defense.
I'm not sure I've helped you at all here
