nice mate, I think Heeney potentially joins that last group as well, I think that is why the concern over Marshall. Perhaps a Taranto into a $300-350k player would allow the upgrade: think Harmes, Hibbard, Caldwell types. There is not 30ppg difference between Taranto and those guys, so it's not a value for money upgrade, you'll make more cash and Caldwell/Harmes are an outside chance of keeper level as much as Taranto is, anyway.
If their is another onfield mid rookie that looks viable I would probably go Taranto down (have read the discussions to and for the starting him).
Harmes (Milera) might be too risky with Williams & Duggan as well.
Heppell would be the one as he has proven scoring history but their is still conflicting reports on whether he will play Round 1 or not.
Just wonder how long his foot lasts with the intensity of games if their are still concerns now.
Can't see Caldwell becoming close to a keeper , leaves the Giants because of lack of opportunity yet goes to a club with even more mid options , strange decision.
May be used as a run with role as the Giants used to anyway.
Not sure about Hately , Crows have so many options outside of their main mid group.
Green maybe
Sier probably not
Brodie no one has mentioned.
Caddy has had reasonable numbers in the past.
Tucker was showing signs last season.
Sholl could be of interest.
Connor Blakely is $ 295k , surely this is his year.
Atkins could be a M6 anchor.
Jordan Clark , Paddy Dow , Lachie Young.
I guess with all those $ 300-350k players , if you don't start them and they do get off to a flyer , their price shouldn't rise too much in the first 4-6 rounds and still be gettable.
