Thanks Johno. He's an upgrade target for me given his price, like a lot of other people. Will hope he has a couple of lower scores and pick him up later.
I had a look to see what caused his score to "pop" last year, and not a lot stands out. One thing I did notice is that his goal kicking accuracy was unusually good last year - back to his 2007-08 levels (before he got so many disposals). He might be getting better quality opportunities now playing further forward, although if his accuracy reverted to his career average levels, I think that would cost him 2-3 points per game. Not a huge risk, but at his price I'm probably erring on not taking too many risks.

Option one by a distance for me. I like all those players at their price, but don't like Boyd (will likely miss plenty) and Goldy (price). Just note Smith and Sloane's early draw, but if they are intended as keepers I see that as a somewhat smaller issue. I'd also rather cop a tough early draw than pay full freight for Goldy or cross my fingers on Boyd for 23 rounds.
