You'd probably have to back in Oliver to be honest. Looks like putting up a solid 120 season and being your rock at M1/M2 with Macrae.

I think Brayshaw does well, and I love his progression, but it seems his scores so far this season have been bumped by increased TOG and getting goals from midfield. Now if that continues he could easily be 110+ but it's a bit of a gamble after only two games, one against a pretty poor oponent.

Bump on Atkins vs. Impey?

I think with mid premiums at this point of the year you are looking to trade in 110+ players.

That's not Boak: best ever seasons have been 105, 106, 107 and 110 and he's already put up two of his bigger scores for the year (they don't get to play bottom 4 sides like North and Essendon every week!).

It might be Brayshaw, see from above:

If Mitchel is fit, he is a 110+ guy: last 3 seasons have been 118, 129 and 113. The big question is the IF - can't say for sure how he will go all season long but he looks in reasonable shape so far.

Option A: Ridley + Bont
Option B: Jake Lloyd + Short

 

[Zimmer]

Option A: Ridley + Bont
Option B: Jake Lloyd + Short

That tricky. Probably A.
Lloyd still has a high BE. Short not a must have.
Ridley and Bont will go up this week. Both likely top 6 and top 10 on their lines.

 

[Bontempele]

Brockman or Rowe in?

 

[Dustman]

Bowes (with Harbrow stealing kick ins), Markov,Cumming or Duryea?

Ridley vs Oliver for Cripps?

Ridley likely to increase, Oliver to hold. Oliver more likely to keep up his scoring. Ridley cheaper. Leaning Ridley but not convinced.

 

[Johnsy44]

Ridley vs Mills

Both good options. Don’t think you can go too far wrong here.

Ridley vs Mills

Ridley I reckon. Horse made a comment indicating Mills would play some time in defence, which I see as concerning.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Mills vs Short

 

[30BucketsofRo]

@Tamuhawk Mills for me. Think his new role as a mid gives him a lot of potential to push up both his floor and ceiling. If he does need to play down back occasionally, he has shown last year that he can score pretty well there too. Houli is also not far away which may affect Short.
Have both, picked Short ahead of Mills for round 1 due to funds and to see whether Mills would actually play as a mid. Love both as picks

 

[Darkie]

Mills vs Short

Mills for me, notwithstanding my comment above. Still a bit concerned about Houli and Short’s lack of premium history. Mills could be a classic def playing mid lock.
