Hey Slams,
Different? I'm not even sure we are actually playing the same game at all this season!
It will be interesting as to what "changes" carry over into 2021!
Prestia (Mid $550,200) had a 10 game streak from Rnd 16 to the Prelim final where he averaged 120.5.
He did only average 76 in his first 4 games last season.
In 2014, when he had a 22/106 season, he had a 6/85 streak, and a 5/127 streak, as well as starting the season 13/113.
He's hot and cold, and I'm not sure Richmonds game style/structure supports a 22/120 Mid.
Dusty nearly did it in 2017, but that really was a season out of the box. Plus I think Richmond's game has refined further again.
I will counter that with this, this season has the opportunity to throw up some ridiculous averages, due to the shortened quarters. I believe we will see more 150+ scores this season than previous seasons (when looked at on a 150+/game basis). In the next 2 or 3 years we will need to be careful how we look back on this season.
In normal circumstances, I might mark him as 19/102 this season, but this season is a long way from normal!

Hi Rowsus.
Assuming external factors like rookies don't force my hand, who would you pick between Josh Kelly and Tom Mitchell?
I've had Jelly for awhile; my thinking was inspired by the idea of 'only using one trade rather than two on an injury-prone player', and in a 22 game season, I felt it would be wise to wait and see with Titch.
But with shorter games and a shorter season, and the fact that Jelly might go outside a bit more; I'm warming on Titch, especially after his showing in Marsh.
I also considered Danger and Clarry but early MDB tags have put me off.

Hi Eagling,
well, I have Jelly, and never really entertained Mitchell. I just don't trust Mitchell to bounce back to his old self, though the likely break in the season can only help the likes of Mitchell!
In a normal season I would say to forget things like MDB when picking your team. However, this is far from normal, and you want to get out of the blocks quickly this year, so maybe considering MDB is a good idea!
In a normal season, having MDB in Round 1 is nearly ideal. It only affects your price once, and clears the path for the rest of the season!

Thank you for the response, Rowsus. I'd like to start out the blocks smoothly and even though Danger could bounce back v Gold Coast, and Oliver could do the same in Round 5, based on a bit of Marsh and Jelly's pre-season, I'm happy to gamble on him (not least because I can reasonably trust Oliver and Danger's fitness if I trade them in, whereas Jelly is a trade in, trade out risk).
I'll probably start Jelly with your response, unless rookies force my hand and I need the $7k.

Do you have any thoughts on the new price change system and how it effects swapping rookies? Whilst we have plenty of trades, I'm wondering if you're robbing Peter to pay Paul to trade say Cavarra to Sturt, assuming the 100 is potentially an outlier and their scores could reverse. Do we jump on every good scoring Round 1 rookie? If Sturt scores 30 and Cavarra 100, we've lost a trade for nothing.
