I understand where it's coming from, and i admit then im a bit biased in this case. I choose Zorko because he's just so efficient around the ball(High tackle count, loose ball gets, disposal efficiency, free kicks/contested possessions and goals), and racks up supercoach points. I like players like zorko and pendlebury due to their ability to score well even without a extremely high disposal count. So if they do collect 36+possessions, their scores will be phenomenal.

supergirl's care factor, zero being nonchalant - five Kryptonite
Buddy Franklin - Zero. Would rather use the extra cash + position in fwds for my super secret death defying POD
Gary Ablett - Five. A true weakness, can't live with him and his high demanding price tag but love all the luxuries of his furs, leathers and diamonds. Besides I can't have the girl next to me showing me up! Hello captain
Dean Cox - Three. My tried and true ever so reliable Clark Kent. Must have to not only negate a POD but also for his superman powers to pop up right when I need them.
.
Brendon Goddard - Two. He's gone from saving the world in Smallville St Kilda, to setting up camp in Essendon, is he gonna need a bigger tent or more wood for his fire?
Bryce Gibbs - Four. Looks like a regular space cadet compared to the other super-charged mid-fielders but when he is placed in a position of defence, he smiles candidly as everything is deflected by his shield, even POD's full of Kryptonite!
PS. Great article Jay. Love it

I have been wondering about Cox so I just had another look at the WC draw to see who will be his opponents.
Round 1: Griffen/No one
Round 2: Bailey/Roughead/Hale
Round 3: Jamar/No one
Round 4: Warnock/Kreuzer/Hampson
Round 5: Redden/Lobbe/Renouf
Round 6: Minson/No one
Round 7: Leunburger?/Martin/Longer
I stopped at round 7 because 1. this is when I expect Nic Nat to be back and playing normal minutes in the ruck and 2. if you still don't have Cox by now your probably crying in a corner somewhere.
In every single game I expect he will outscore his opponent. In some of those games he is a genuine chance to ruck against non ruckmen at times.
Plus after the first two games, which WC are a legit chance to win, I expect they will win the next 5, meaning I expect Cox may kick goals and/or have high (for a ruckmen) possessions.
I really want to save the coin but I really don't want to be crying in the corner.
Edit: Looking at WC draw for other players noticed that next 4 ruckmen he plays are Goldy, Giles, Maric and McEvoy, don't want to misled anyone. Doesn't change my decision as only Maric can genuinely challenge Cox in my view and I expect Maric will be going it alone against Cox and Nic Nat by then.

Luke Parker, soft early draw and can score highly for his time on ground. Need him to make some early quick cash to upgrade to a fallen premium early on. Really reluctant to use this strategy but I think jumping on a reduced price premium earlier on rather than waiting for every rookie to appreciate quickly could be a tactic that works this season with the increased midfield numbers.

He looked awesome in my opinion. Just did not get in as much play tonight to get big into the stats but the quality of his own play was still very high. Early in game I was scared seeing how good he looked. It was always a matter of when he is in my team not if....so I'm just hoping his early season form has him score lower than he will overall so I can get him somewhat cheaper. For those of you that have him it is simply a matter of riding out a poor game and expect his usual massive output as soon as possible. The sooner I upgrade to him the better... so hopefully a few more low scores in next month helps me out so I can get him at his low point before he rises as he surely will.
