Reckon Coniglio is two after Dunkley. Also Rozee has a higher ceiling than Taranto and Moore if he is given prime midfield minutes.
Cogs just missed out on my top 3 but in the top 6 .

Rozee and Butters both a chance of top 6.

Rozee is an injury waiting to happen, just loves to attack the sherrin and can go large, but gezz every time he goes head first into a contest you were expecting the worst. Butters has been in the side a few times with Dunkley starting in the midfield.
Is Mitch Duncan role in the defence going to reduce Tom Stewart scoring opportunities?

Jack Bowes selecton is very speculative, I know Geelong has made a commitment for him to play, but the issue is when and how many.
Duccan is definately a concern, stewart needs those Kick Ins and those cheap 6 pointers across half back. Paying overs for stewart to start as he had 3 monster scores last year. I expect him to return back to 102 avg. Not a starter for my team but definately on the radar after his byes.

Geelong Back to Back Flags.

Rozee has much greater durability than Butters who everyone had no issue in picking last season.

In terms of the top 3 scoring forwards (assuming injury free):

1. Dunkley
2. Fyfe
3. Cameron

I think the only other one in the mix is Coniglio.
If Fyfe can stay injury free, and it's a big if he would be a top 5 forward. I'm not game not to take him just in case he plays/scores well and my view is you can always use him as a stepping stone if he gets injured as he has done the last few years. Big gamble not starting him though and I'm not willing to take that gamble. Good luckđź‘Ť

PS. I think Rozee could be a top 3 forward if Hinkley plays him as almost a pure mid (say 70/30 between mid/forward).

Rozee had an amazing year and averaged 93. Can’t see him being too 3 but could still be a keeper.

His average from the time Ken started playing him more mid time was closer to 100+.
Still prob not top 3 as don’t see him having a much better season? He was outstanding.
I expect top 3 to be close 110. That’s a decent jump. Anyway, not as bad pick if he plays enough midfield.

The main negative with rozee is the large difference between his high scores and his low scores. Port has a tough start to the year and rozee scores are somewhat flat track bullying. Its possible he throws in some shockers and becomes cheap. Its also posdible he shoots the lights out. Not know. It will be good to see how he goes with a new coach!

Do you know something, or is this wishful thinking as to what you want to happen? I thought Hinkley was still the coach.

Depends how Port goes this year I guess, if they have a good year they might sign Hinkley for another 10 years lol, I'm interested to see how Horne-Francis goes at Port this year and what role he'll be playing.
