Lewis Taylor - Priced at 65.9, last 5 average 74.6

Scott Lycett - Priced at 72.4, last 9 average 82.5

[Nige]

One of Hrovat, Zerrett or Lewy imo. Then again, that's probably a biased opinion as I like those three substantially more than the others.

[GoLions]

It's called Rising STAR for a reason!

[Football Factory]

Its not an easy one, im leaning towards Kelly and not just because of the last 3 game average, looks like he will smash it next year. Hrovat could be a good one, will play in the mids and has good scoring ability. Bonti and Taylor are guns but it might take a bit longer to smash out big scores. Zac Merrett and WHE are guns aswell, so hard to pick from these guys. Billings and Lycett very good interesting to see how they go next year.

Kelly and Hrovat for me if i had to pick 2

[Rabid Hamster]

I'm leaning towards Bonts and Hrovat because I think the Dogs need some young guns to step up and fill the voids left by experienced players leaving.

Would definitely back the top four in that list against the bottom 4.

[Money]

If I had to pick one it'd be Scott Lycett, but due to the premo options and actual fair amount of rookies in the forward line I wouldn't even consider any of these blokes!

[Ricochet]

I went with Nathan Hrovat but agree with Money. The fwd line isn't the place to take too many risks this year.

[powersuperkents]

I locked Kelly, he is an incredible player and could see him winning the Brownlow sometime in the distant future. Could he be the Parker of 15'? I don't know but I'm not going to risk missing the boat. Bont. & Billings would be my next choices - the kids are also guns

A lot of value present in Hrovat as well, also more experienced as of now

[Hagebear]

Definitely Kelly out of the bunch. Has a lot more fantasy upside then the others. Very unlikely to be subbed this year so can see him easily going 80-90 this year.

I'm all about the GWS boys here. Kelly, Hoskin-Elliot and one you haven't put up who I really like as a smokey, Tomlinson. Hoskin-Elliot and Tomlinson I think will thrive with the absence of Boyd, who admittedly didn'tplay much last year, and another year of development. I like Tomlinson to go 85+ playing as a third tall leading up the ground, and Hoskin-Elliot may not be far behind him.  Love Kelly too, but I think as a second year player is a bit more risky.

Wouldn't touch any of the others tbh, apart from Lycett who could do well with more opportunities.

+1. Second ruck and Nic Nat isn't the most reliable player - injury wise.

Do you think Bont. is going to receive a lot more attention this season? Esp. because he can win both contested and uncontested footy (making him appear more damaging than Macrae and leaving Libba as the only player more threatening to the opposition)

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Kelly would be my pick and is currently sitting in my team

From the rest I would say Hrovat and Hoskin-Elliott are the next most likely suspects with Lycett not far behind, although I don't have the balls to pick any of these guys.

[R.Griffen]

would love to pick Kelly, Hrovat and Merrett but with Swan, God and Lids only 3 spots left and I found that Clark and Hogan are certainly better options

[Mr.Craig]

The only question I have about Kelly is if he can consistently get enough ball with so many other slutty players around.
