Intercept level. It was noticeable early last season interceptors did better given increased pressure from the defensive mids, shorter quarters, fresher players. There is a range off factor that could work against it this year, however Howe continues to look good. Would have been in my team except for the disturbed pre season. Impressive score.
The deep defence needs is a danger in terms of some many options who could be top 6. thought it was Lloyd Laird and the rest look the same, just not so sure now. This is what preseason does, throw up more questions.

He would be a perfect candidate as a rd1 loophole to a successful bench player but playing first ruins it.
I think it's excusable if you really like him as a keeper (I do) and there is a playing bench def who doesn't make you ill to think of on field.
Difference for me is that suspension rather than injury means you can be more confident he will play rd2; at 450k he is integral to structures in a way a top-priced player isn't; 450k on the bench for one round is less painful than 650k.
I still would do almost anything to avoid it though. Don't like starting with a handicap.
