How many of Macrae Oliver Steele Miller can you start. ?
Personally I say two but can see a lot of people drifting to one which begs the question - which one? I’d prob say Touk. Oliver is prob the most likely to put up a crap score at some stage so you could wait on him. Steele v Macrae is a toss of the coin. Prob Macrae for sheer consistency.

Miller - Whole team played like him but he's still the standout, there was one contest midway through the 4th where he chased Danger from the forward flank to the back flank, put a lovely bump on him to help his side win the ball and then while Danger was still getting back off the ground had already bounced up and put 50m on him to get to the next contest which he ultimately cleared towards their forward 50, he works harder than any player I've ever seen I reckon on field and this was just a preseason game. Scariest part is the man looked like he was playing in different conditions to everyone else, just looked fresh as a daisy late in the 4th. If you can't tell, I like him :)
That very play stuck out so much when I saw it too. Insane how quick he got up and sprinted away in such a short period of time.

Tough picking between Miller, Steele and Macrae in dt.

Hard to know with Miller, he's never started the season with such a high price tag.
I was conscious of this but after seeing him play last night I think he'll be the number one ranked player this season and win a brownlow. That passage where he just knocked the ball out of that Geelong players hands grabbed it and kicked a goal - fark me that was just dominance.

Witts was impressive last night. My concern is GCS early draw:

Rd1. A v WCE (NicNat) Rd2. H v MEL (Gawn) Rd3. A v GWS (Preuss & Flynn) Rd4. H v CAR (Pittonet) Rd5. A v StK (Marshall) Rd6. H v BRIS (Big O) Rd7. A v COL (Grundy) Rd8. A v SYD (Hickey) Rd9. H v FRE (Darcy).

That’s a seriously tough draw for any ruckman !
