I'm the opposite, the more cheapies pop up the less premiums, I'm almost certain the mids is where I want to premium hunt the most this year.
I really like Dunkley, Coniglio, Taranto and Rozee. I honestly haven't gone past those as the 4 I'd pick.
Zorko, Greene and Fyfe are really the other 3 names I'm looking at, it doesn't help that I basically keep falling into Cameron in the rucks so the more premiums I start forward the less I can target DPP guys, value or breakouts on the line.
One of my big mistakes last year, although kind of unavoidable given what Coniglio and Brodie did, was actually having too many premium forwards at the start which basically shut me out of Cameron, Bont, Smith, Libba and Parker as exceptional value plays when they popped up. Brodie and Coniglio basically bailed me out but that's more luck than good management and this year I'm not going to underrate how impactful having those DPP guys is.
This year I see Treloar, Gawn/Grundy, Bont, Parker, Treloar, Boak and B. Smith all as very strong chances to get FWD this year in the DPP changes. Marshall and maybe even Darcy also have to be considered. All those guys have top 2 potential.
Makes this the hardest position because I really love Rozee as a pick, think Taranto is an easy winner and Coniglio and Dunkley both have serious upside potential at their prices, they're both fully capable of pushing 120, it's not very often that you look at the top two carry over premiums and see 10-15 points of upside.
And then there's Fyfe and even Thomas that are stupidly cheap for genuine premium bets...
It's not often that abundance is the problem!
