He does but so does Downie to be honest. Ken has a history of letting his youngsters get a semi-decent crack from memory

If youre running a total of 9 mid and fwd rookies I still feel like Campbell, Powell, Scott, Berry, Brockman, Gulden, Warner, Rowe, Bergman and Fullarton feel like the best choices. Downie, McNeil and Jones the next best or Bruhn if you want to pay up for a little bit more job security
Campbell worth the premium?

That would be the aim , non owner here.

Williams back next game , not sure how far away Betts & Martin are.

Be interesting to follow his scores
At least Eddie can tackle and kick and doesn't squib whenever he has to sit under a handpass or kick. i wouldn't play with Dow in Cora Lynn seconds he is such a gutless footballer.

Anyone else getting a little bit edgy about having all 3 of Dunks/Macrae/Daniel heading into tonight? How many points are there to go around?
Quite a lot if you look at last year

History almost certainly won't repeat itself and the scaling inflated players a lot in top heavy teams, but I have those 3 and not that concerned. Some concern on Dunkley's role but I'm confident his floor is good enough for it to be a safe pick with a fair bit of upside.

Agree that Dunkleys floor is probably equal to a lot of fwds ceilings. I’ve had both Macrae and Daniel locked in with the rule changes but looking at other options to Macrae right at the 11th hour.
Maybe it’s a 5pt reduction to all of them? Time will tell.
All I know is I’ll be happy when I’m locked out though... it means the second guessing will stop!

Also considering captaining Macrae but might move to Grundy or Merrett. No FD so will do some pondering before the bounce.

Keep all 3 I say unless you feel very strongly on something. Better to keep things as they are when not fully certain one way or the other.

Can’t go too wrong on Grundy or Macrae, Zerrett is slightly riskier, even if he’s very consistent the other two are even more consistent

What about Cahill? Too expensive ?
