Might be just preseason talk but this could help with his second half fade outs.. What do you think junior?

Personally not a fan of Dusty up back. I would prefer him to chill up forward most of the 3rd quarter and come out fairly fresh in the 4th. A handful of touches, goal assist/goal in that 3rd quarter will be enough to keep his score moving along. To be fair, Dusty is similar to Stevie J, so much skill and natural talent it probably won't matter too much :p

I would rather see Lids play off the half back than dusty.

See i rather Lids play Wing/Forward then in the back half with dusty running off half back. Tigers like to press up the ground when we have the ball plus we like to link up a lot, so dusty will still be able to kick goals from out side 50 and get a lot of outside ball.

If hanley plays predominately in the midfield and we know for certain that he is will be there for a good length of time. I will pick him. Because rockcliff is in that midfield, and teams and coaches have seen how damaging he can be - e.g. latter part of 2013. Hanley won't be tagged (as much) in the midfield as long as rockcliff is up and about. I am not sure who else is in the mix in the brisbane midfield. Black's retirement might mean that hanley takes his spot. For some reason i can't remember how black plays - inside or outside midfield - if he was a outside midfielder, hanley could possible be that replacement. But there is also aish coming into the fray. We will see what happens in nab cup. and at the very least, round 1 team sheet.

Daniel Rich gets the no.1 tag at Brisbane.

Yes, Rich tagged before Rockliff.

I watch every game each week.
Rich cannot be left unchecked, he was
during NAB cup and dominated.

Rich tagged over Rockcliff?!?!?! I don't watch enough Brisbane games to know otherwise but what are coaches doing if they aren't tagging Rockcliff.

Rockliff isn't super damaging. Racks up possessions like few else in the AFL though. Kinda similar to Boyd in that regard (though Rockliff has better disposal).

Not sure if he's been mentioned - but anybody thinking of Jackson Thurlow at 285k?
Very awkwardly priced and only played a handful of games, but with Josh Hunt going to GWS could that mean a potential spot up for grabs that he is likely to take? Had four games in 2013 of 77 (vs Ess), 85 (vs Coll), 31 (vs Port), and 72 (vs GWS).
Did get injured later in the year, although finished off pretty well in the VFL. Very risky pick, but could have good upside in him if he gets regular games which could make him a potential D5 starter - thoughts?

Has been spoken about, especially with some preseason injuries, I question whether he is good enough.
