For F3
Menegola - Downhill skiier, upgrade target.
Devon - Bicep + looks like his game was suited to more congestion. Happy to wait and see
Gray - Interrupted pre season, happy to wait
Mundy - Upgrade Target
Kelly - 2nd year player and gone in 2020, I dont like it.
Dunkley - Role uncertainty, too much risk for my liking.
Mclean - Hope he moves club, the best of the lot is wasted out position.
Wallis - Thought he'd be more forward, looks okay but role uncertain
Boak - Don't mind but lowish ceiling
Walters - Injury magnet
Lycett - I don't think I've looked at this enough, doing a bit more research.
Billings - Downhill skiier but dirt cheap and Saints have the 3rd easier draw. First 4 rounds especially, but tough 5 week block after.
Higgins - Breakout potential is there, kicks goals and great in the midfield. Don't mind for his price but not sure he wins enough ball with all that forward time. Richmond draw is difficult too.
I'm thinking one of Billings/Lycett. Think Freako had some stats on him having a really good HTA %. Decided to go big in the mids and go cheap up forward/back since I don't know who to pick.

Yeah it sucks
Think you’re selling Tim Kelly a bit short, he has the motivation to earn a big payday for his 3 kids and he said “West Coast only” so if he was seriously home sick he would have been willing to go to Freo. It’s a risk but with the lack of forward choices he’s the standout for me. Freako tweeted he spent 55 % of time in the middle last year and that number looks set to rise. He’s inconsistent but has a big scoring ceiling.

Anyone selecting Kelly worried about Geelong’s super tough fixture to start with?
Collingwood (away)
Melbourne (home)
Adelaide (away)
GWS (home)
Hawthorn (away)
West Coast (home)
Essendon (etihad)
Edit: averaged 91 in 9 losses last year and 94.69 in 13 wins.
Averaged 94.3 at Kardania Park and 92.38 away from Kardania.
So at least even if his scores are up and down his home, away, win, lose factors don’t seem to matter.

Is anyone going Danger, Westhoff, Heeney for F1 F2 F3, with Grundy, Gawn and Bines in the ruck?
F3 is a pain in the butt for me. I can go Gray instead of Westy, but no one else is standing out as a sure top 6 forward. The Hoff may not be top 6 in the end but does provide ruck cover from the start and he is durable (up to this point). If Lynch and Greene were fit they would be my F3 F4 but that seems too risky even if they both get up for R1.
