Nice Russ. There definitely are a few underpriced guys to look at this far out including Laird, Doch, Titch, Oliver, Ward, Dusty, Menegola, Wingard, D Smith and Hogan.
Can't go wrong with Cripps but I feel like Kelly still has the higher ceiling and is more capable of averaging 130+, the issue is always injury risk with him. Both should be great picks.
Wingard is set to be very underpriced, but as always, you don't know what you're gonna get. He definitely is good value though and should at least make money to o***et potential risks if he has a decent preseason.

The forwards look like they'll be a bit of trouble next season. Without looking at numbers were likely to lose Danger, Dunk, Boak, Marshall & Kelly from the big hitters and maybe as many as 8 of the top 10 overall so I think there will be some good opportunity to take a gamble on Wingard/Hogan types as you said.
Might have a flutter on Rozee myself depending how ports off season pans out.

His price will be sky high and the saints aren't shy about hunting around for another solid ruck to "support" him.
It really has been a perfect storm for him this year - the saints literally have nobody else putting their hand up for ruck duties and he's a fairly average ruck in general (think Grundy without the ruck craft).
Unless he gets DPP then he'll probably be one I'll avoid at the start of the season simply because he'll be overpriced and need to perform at a Grawndy level to justify starting him.
ROB and Darcy are the two I'd be looking at in terms of starting R2 stepping stones, as I would anticipate that they'll be pushing to be first choice for their teams barring injury come round 1 next year (Jacobs is still there for the Crows but if anyone was ever going to settle into a backup / mentoring role it would be him).
There'll probably be some value in the Geelong ruck situation as well so that's or to keep an eye on.
I've regretted not getting Grundy sooner this year but I'll probably still go with one of Grawndy and a stepping stone at R2 next year.

Mentioned it in another thread but Cogs should be priced for a 101 average after his 0. He has shown he is around 108-110 mark at GWS. Not sure how possibly changing clubs affects that.
Guys like Menegola and Westhoff could be decent picks depending on how they finish this season.
Nic Nat if he is fully fit heading into pre-season will also be enticing as opposed to the Grawndy combo. Titchell a shoe-in, so is Docherty.
Sicily has had an indifferent season, will need to see his role but he is someone who could be a great starting pick. Also hoping Connor Blakely has a injury free preseason
Interested to know what’s going on with Witherden. Has the skill to become a good SC player with his kicking but can he find the ball more often and break out?
Dusty’s has a poor SC season, can he bounce back to the 105-110 region? Currently averaging 94. Still young enough.
Dunkley also looking like a starter for next season, surely Bevo doesn’t move him out of the midfield again. Those guys who go from M/F to pure mids seem to become less popular (aside from Danger and Fyfe). Merrett, Gray, Sidebottom and Beams all come to mind and have been viable POD’s.

Using Sloane's SP as a guide this season, Coniglio will be priced at $ 549,266.00 ish.
The MN normally rises each season as well.
History has shown that aside from Titch the Hawks mids don't go much over 105+ , lot of money to pay to see if Cogs bucks the trend.
Titch , JOM , Cogs , Worpel , Wingard , Greenwood etc etc
