Fair enough.
If he is priced at what I am expecting him to be ( $ 365,358.76) he will be a lock.
16 Rookies @ $ 125,000.00 = $ 2 million , leaves a average of $ 571,428.57 for 14 players , so certainly need to find some "value" starters somewhere.
Lloyd , Laird , Sicily , Simpson over that , Whitfield close.
Dangerfield over , Westhoff , Menegola , Smith , Heeney , Gray etc close enough.
I certainly will need to find 3-4 mid price value players to start to afford premiums.

I'm not sure about Simpson in 2019. He was good this year, but in 2017 when Docherty was playing well, Simmo looked like he was on the way out. I reckon in 2019 (2 years on) with Simmo getting older, he wont be the scorer you would want him to be (plus he will be expensive off the back of a good 2018)

I agree with most of these picks, I would personally avoid Hannebery though, I think he's cooked. I will be picking Yeo as a pod as well, I think he can average 115+ if he plays to his potential, whilst Fyfe and Kelly are no brainers. Personally I would start Danger in the forward line, pick another gun mid and start without Laird, I think Laird's average will drop back a bit with Brodie Smith back despite the fact he's a safe pick. Wingard just said in an interview that Clarko told him he told him he wanted him as a half forward when they first met before he was traded, so he might be one to wait and see on.
Not sure how much he’ll cost but lock him in if he’s out there in rd 1.
Birchall says he is fighting fit again and aiming to be in Hawthorn's round one team in 2019, although he will be on modified duties until Christmas.
"It's been a frustrating 18 months, it's fair to say, but I'm feeling really good, the knee's in a good spot and I'm right to go for day one (of pre-season), so I'm looking forward to it," he said.
"I was close (to playing in the finals series), but then I had little interruptions as I was coming back, so I had a little hammy and a little bit of a groin (problem).
"If we had beaten Melbourne in that final, the plan was to play half a game in the twos that weekend, then try and get back for West Coast the week after, but it didn't eventuate."

Lighter and fitter Mumford ready for 2019
GWS Academy Director John Quinn has given an update on Shane Mumford and how he’s kept himself in a condition capable of seeing him return to AFL level.
The Giants picked up Mumford as part of the new supplemental selection period after the ruckman retired at the end of 2017...……..“He’s kept himself in really good shape...….He’s dropped a bit of weight and looks in great shape. His strength levels are up...……he’s been able to maintain his fitness and he trained a lot with the players last year whilst he was coaching.”
Mumford has been suspended for the first two games of the 2019 season ………...

A plea to all - is it asking too much to reduce confusion and positively identify players? Easy to seperate but pleasing to note whether you are referring to B Crouch or M Crouch.
However, more troublesome is identifying a defender as Williams. Do you mean B Williams (doggies - my favourite to break out in 2019), M Williams (norths) or Z Williams (gws)? While there are only 3*Williams there are 12*Smith, let's be clear as to whom you are referring. Thank you for your help.

Cats assistant Matthew Knights said "...…….we should’ve performed better as a midfield group last year (2018)"……….he was relishing the prospect of a fully fit Dangerfield. Splitting more time in attack in the first half of 2018, Dangerfield appears back to his best in his first fortnight back on the track...…….."There's no question with the back ailment and the interruptions he had, he'd be the first to say it hindered his play at times,
He's come back in amazing shape. Some of his explosion in the drills we've been doing and the capacity to get around guys and feed his teammates has been awesome so far."
