Who stood out for the Geelong Cats and the Gold Coast Suns?

Best Cheapie (< $140k)

How about Simon Hogan (87 points)? Very cheap, has a few years in him now, and could break into the Premiership side. George Horlin-Smith (69 points) was another who could be on the radar, particularly given he is a forward. This time last year all the rage was on the Gold Coast rookies, but none really stood out last night.

Best player $140k - $280k

Another relatively cheap player in Cameron Guthrie (86 points) from the Cats was outstanding, and Mitchell Brown (74 points) also very good. While the more awkwardly priced Taylor Hunt (90 points also impressed). Again, no Suns stood out in this price range.

Best Player $280k - $420k

This is the price range that could make or break your season, and the Suns experienced players in Nathan Bock (94 points) and Jared Brennan (96 points) impressed, Bock in particular is a genuine option in defense.

Best Premium (above $420k)

The stars shone bright last night with Jimmy Bartel (143 points), Gary Ablett (108 points) and Joel Selwood (93 points) showing there awesome quality.

I liked the look of guthrie he was chalking up the points!

Was watching horlin-smith for the night, he was stuck on 26 for atleast a quarter! so hes done well to get to 69, if he keeps it up in coming weeks definately worth a look being in the lower bracket of price range

[Windigo]

Hm, a few more games from Hogan and he is definitely in for Wingard.

Top write up ,well done
I have been making room for hogan for a while
Fits the 3 prem mid structure well
He is somewhat proven and mature aged so why not nab him instead of high priced rookie?

Well said. Cheaper than most draft picks and is older. Locked at this stage.

[PowerBug]

What is Hogan's price??

[truBLUE]

considering selwood + ablett spent more than an entire quarter riding the pine.

[Kuruki]

Ive deleted my whole team and filled every position with rookies. It's now a matter of watching the rest of the NAB and eliminating those i don't want, and keeping those i cant bring myself to eliminate. If it means i carry 200K into round 1, then i think i will  do just that.

[mezzoculo]

If he maintains this form, Bock may be in line for a call up to my team in Round 5.

[essendon2]

Hm, a few more games from Hogan and he is definitely in for Wingard.

why not have both?
i do

I'd agree with this...

[Justin Bieber]

Horlin-Smith impressed me. What do you think Ossie?

[ossie85]

Pretty much that! Damn cats keep producing kids

[elephants]

Hogan a lock. Too stingy to ay up the extra 50k for Guthrie :P
