l'm trying to figure out if there is any inferences I can make other than:
1/. The lower the starting value the more $ they make per game.
2/. The lower the starting value the greater number that will make $100K+
Startling info right.

I will keep data mining to see if there is any other insights I can make.
That's about it really. Fade players who are in the forward line in the real game if you can. Otherwise we're mostly just grateful for what we're given aren't we. Apart from the expansion years I don't remember being spoilt for choice.

Just a heads up: Hobbs participated in match practice at training yesterday.

From astute training watcher and Twitter guy CJohns:

"So Hobbs in 5 mins of first intra club match has shown me enough. Like a light just went off now that serious stuff is on. Had the first two clearances of the game and has 5-6 disposals."


Might be a bit of an early crow, but will keep an eye on the reports.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere. St.Kilda set to sign SANFL player Jack Hayes - 194cm ruck/forward

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...s/news-story/0241ad7f25d8087d77e543532f16e07f

SANFL club: Woodville West Torrens
SANFL games: 93
SANFL goals: 122
Height: 194cm
Weight: 91kg
SANFL stats 2021
Matches:
20
Goals: 22
Disposals (average): 19.6
Contested possessions (average): 10.8
Contested marks (average): 2.6
Marks (average): 7.7
Score involvements (average): 7.1
Tackles (average): 4.3
Ranking points (average): 128

Could be a very handy R3, F7/8, although based on those numbers, could be viable on the field

Could be that $102,400 RUC/FWD option that we currently don't have.

Saints with a nice early draw for VC/C loophole too.

Some snippets from North’s intra club game from an observer:-

Goater - I've said it before, but I think he's in our Rnd 1 side. I have him ahead of Perez. He lined up with basically the 2021 best 22 backline today and didn't look out of place at all. He took 1 intercept mark floating across 60m out from the attacking goal as the wall, then grubbered that kick I50, the ball came back out and floated in front of a pack to take his second intercept in a minute. He hit 2-3 absolute worldy passes throughout the day, as I said, in space on the run he will cut sides to peices.

117k mid rookie 😉

Comben - Starts Rnd 1. Crashed packs that resulted in crumbed goals, worked hard up and back, extremely agile when the balls on the deck and he impacts the game whether in the air or on the ground. Best tall on the ground for mine and I don't think he even kicked a goal.

123K fwd/ruck 😎

Well, maybe an @Impromptu style team isn't past the realms of possibility with maybe starting 15 keepers a real chance

Let it all go.

Once you cross that mental bridge you'll find it so much easier to drop the 4th premo as well :p
There is now 9 potential mid rookies up to 205k. would you go two mids premiums only? what happens if we have ruck rookies like comben, Hayes x 2.

I did once see. kid star the season in league with 1-2million in cash and lots of rookies. Just started the upgrade cycle too late to make the finals.
