If you had the choice, would you choose Barlow or Bennell?
Bennell for me, i'll be interested to see how they use Barlow next year. I recall freako posting some unfavourable stats for Barlow which doesn't fill me with any confidence he's got any improvement in him.

Bennell, Greene or Ryder
Who woulc be the best choice?
I like Bennell of those 3. Has the best potential to be a top tier forward. Ryder for cover i suppose is a decent option although i don't see him averaging a lot more than 90 while he and Lobbe play together.

Is Montagna, S.Gray, Walker, Wells, West, Patracca, Sumner and a floating dpp donut to weak?
Agree with MMM, probably a little too risky starting them all. One speculative per line for me (if that).

Is barlow in danger to get dropped at some point? He was trade bait as well during the trade period

His drop in form last season was quite astonishing without knowing the real reason behind it.
At the moment, he's not in my team.

Deledio the only stand out for me. Will be best forward to pick.
I just worry that he will miss a few games like last year with that chronic achilles issue that he has.

His pricetag turns me off a bit too.

It's a concern i agree but he was a great pick for owners last year on the run h ome. Has great hair too...wait what.

Is anyone staying away from Dusty? He'd be a lock for me without any thought any other year.

I think for me it will come down to whether chopsticks gets rubbed out for his restaurant indiscretion.

If he is able to play round 1 then I will likely pick him. He's in my team for now.

Playing for Carlton, is Jed Lamb likely to score any better than a standard-priced rookie?

Wondering whether it is worth paying the 189.9k, or whether I should save 66.6k by getting a good cheap rookie instead.

Looking at Angus Brayshaw as my teams smokie pick.
Could turn out to be a stroke of genius.

Brayshaw plays a bit like Ollie Wines so if he can replicate what Ollie did in his 2nd year then he could be a forward keeper.
