Lots of good ruck talk. But not much about Grundy, averaged 103 off 6 games, I assume that will see him priced at around 560k. Will he get any discount on that? Seems everyone has just ruled a line through him. Me included.
But devils advocate, Grundy is 28. Gawn turns 31 this month. Did they bring in a back up ruck? Or a new ruck with gawn pinch hitting but playing mostly forward? Will he even play every game, or will they rotate the 2 with planned rests for a full on flag assault in September? What did they say that got him there, or were Collingwood purely moving on a salary cap liability? So many Qs from a supercoach perspective.
Surely one of them goes 105+ tapping it down the throat of one of, if not the best, midfields in the league? I'm 99.9% on not starting him. Too much uncertainty how he will play with Gawn. But really wondering if this will this be one of those oh so obvious hindsight picks come round 22..

Here are my random thoughts so far. Havent even considered salary cap yet, so sacrifices will need to be made.
ONLY THIS STrUCTURE
Doesnt matter what line
Only 2 premos fwd line
Only 2 premos def line
Load up mids
Ruc - English and someone, not 2 premos. Agility
BOLD - must be picked in order
The higher the price, the higher the risk
Aim is 8 Ubers selected R1.
8 ubers, 4 mid pricers
BONT always 1
MILLER 2
OLIVER 3
Picks 1,2,3 - non negotiable
STEWART def
DUNKLEY fwd
NEALE
DAWSON
LAIRD
PARISH
WALSH
SICILY def
PETRACCA
No sacrifices
Ruck
English, Gawn, Draper, Jackson,Cameron,Teakle

Very interesting discussion around Macrae. Only had 3 scores above 120 from round 6 last year and averaged 109.2 from then as well.
The ceiling just wasn't there on a consistent basis last year. Dunkley leaving does help but with Smith improving and Treloar moving back into the mids will that still cap his ceiling.
Hard to ignore his previous 4 seasons at 120+ but think Bont at a similar price seems the better pick but could easily pick both especially if something comes out about Macrae carrying an injury last year which could be the case especially with his low TOG in some games last year.

For those who have webscraping abilities or come across an Excel sheet with player details (position, price, average, etc) @Goodie's Guns and myself would appreciate a copy for setting up our Dynasty/Keeper Leagues for the 2023 season.
Thanks in advance.
