I wouldn’t be reading too much into how well premiums play in preseason unless we’re looking at a small role change for someone like Ridley.
Parish started getting tagged late last year which was the only reason he stopped going totally ballistic, that fact makes Merrett a handy upgrade option post bye as I think he’ll more easily hit a 115 avg with less attention this year.

Full-Time
North
JHF: Very quiet first half. Much better in the 3rd quarter. Quiet again in the 4th. Played predominantly as a half-fwd from what I saw. Also spent time at half-back and a spent some decent time in the middle attending a few CBA's. He was probably the best of North's rookie priced players in the end. I think he will be fine as a rookie going at around 60-65 but if we have enough of the cheaper mids options show up then they could score just as well for a fraction of the price.
P Walker (124k DEF/MID): Heard his name called quite a few times, didn't have a whole lot of impact on the contest and no idea whether he is best 22. Could be a bench option if named round 1.
Bergman (117k DEF/MID): Had a few touches and did some okay things but is probably unlikely for round 1.
Curtis (117K FWD) and Goater (117K MID): Both played in the second half only and each got a few touches but the low TOG likely indicates they aren't in the frame for round 1.
T Thomas: He was really good, the best player out there for North. Staying in my team on the back of today's game.
Polec: Was terrible in the first half and not sighted in the second half, possibly only played the first half. Wouldn't have thought he's an option after today's performance.
Dees
Chandler (124k FWD): He had an excellent first half with a couple of goals and some good pressure acts. Faded a bit as the game went on. Would probably need Spargo or Pickett to miss to get a round 1 spot which is highly unlikely.
Bedford (124k FWD and Turner (124k DEF): Bedford came on very late and I don't think he got a touch. I don't think Turner played at all. Neither are a chance for round 1.
Gawn/Jackson: Gawn was in the ruck for the majority of the game and played well, even pushed forward for 2 goals. Jackson spent a decent amount of time in the ruck too but was quiet. EDIT: CBA data shows that both spent an even amount of time in the ruck. Does make sense now I think about it as Gawn spent a big portion of Q3 on the bench just resting.
Oliver/Petracca: Barely got out of 2nd gear but both looked really good, Oliver looks to have gone to another level, if that's possible. I would be quite comfortable starting both if funds permit.
Let me know if there are any players you are interested in and I'll do my best to provide a summary.

Just read this about Curnow :-
The only worry came when Charlie Curnow limped from the field late in the game, having clutched at his troublesome knee following a marking contest. But he was later seen smiling on the sidelines.
Must be fine if seen smiling afterwards but a worry all the same.
Sounds like he had an average game overall:-
Battle marked Charlie Curnow throughout the morning and kept the Carlton gun goalless in an early tick for his pre-season role change
