Enjoyed the podcast Dimma." Pick bloody Gary Ablett Junior", ha ha classic!
Cheers mate - always a laugh doing it with those guys. Great value
Great work Dimmawit, amongst the frivolity of your fantastic interview with Jock Reynolds I thought important points were made about
Round 1 on-field positioning of Dual Position Players.
This of course assumes that the rookies in the Def and For don't offer as much potential as the rookies available in Mids and therefore keep as many open spots for pure Mids as possible and select DPPs in their lesser scoring position of Def or For.
"..I think I'll be starting as many as those Defensive Mids and Forward Mids that fall into the mix as I can.
I don't think it's too important linking them up to start off with, you know who's playing in the early rounds..so you don't need the bench cover in the same way."
"..I think plan to have one or two hang around a little longer and
you can trade them into your Mids to try and open up those links.."
"
Not so much starting them off in the Mids, pick the guys who get the most points there, but look to bring guys from the other lines
into the Mids.."
Possible example could be originally naming L.McDonald (Def/Mid) at home in Defence, with the potential trading out of a Mid rookie at peak ( Dunstan? round 9?), vacating a spot in the Mids bench for McDonald and then buying a Bartel or someone in Defence.
This allows the potential earnings of a
Mid rookie ( Dunstan or someone) to take effect rather than starting McDonald in Mids and then having a problematic hack wasting your potential earning capacity in Defence.
