That comment on the Hawthorn CBAs is interesting, if they settle things down in the second half of the year is there a chance Mitchell could get back to premium scoring levels for a $500-550k outlay?
That's exactly how it played out last year. Always a danger we read patterns where there are none but you'd be mad not to be watching closely.

You would think that would have to happen as the kids tire. Mitchell interrupted pre-season as well, may be slightly off the pace early.

Why do I get the feeling this round will make or break my season?

Anybody else feeling that?
It is that point, definitely. You're either in the race or playing catch up after rounds 4 and 5 generally.

Would be nice if there was the possibility of a Steve Bradbury, but the dynamics over the course are pretty set in SC, I reckon.

Its Tough at the Top

Table showing the top 15 highest priced players in each position - as in highest at the start of the season.
The $amount represents the change in price as registered at the end of round 3.
As you can see most of the players that have chalked up 3 games, have struggled to hold their value.

Feels like it.

Just get your structure right, get the high percentage rookies, get as many of the midpricers as you can, back your premium selections in and let the chips fall as they may.

I feel as if it will be quite a high-scoring round.

This is how the game works EVERY year.

Premiums are a win as long as they don’t underperform against similarly priced players and they key is to upgrade early on to the players who are about to take off and those who bottom out midseason.

I disagree. Here are the starting ownerships for the 10:

Daicos 82.3%
Coniglio 75.9%
Hayes 60.2%
Rowell 51.6%
Brodie 39.8%
Cripps 35.5%
Hewett 31.8%

Xerri 16.5%
Bowey 7.2%
Green 0.9%

They're in the top 20 because they started with those first 7 and they've managed to avoid middling premium scores thus far (English over Gawn, Short over Crisp, Oliver over Steele/Touk ... you get the picture). Then simply target the other 3 and voila.
Yep, i got 9, but also Steele, Touk, Crisp, no Oliver. And I'm ranked 8k.
