In NAB games so far:

Jaksch:     80, 98       Avg. 89
MacMillan: 93, 71       Avg. 82
T Hunt:     69, 103     Avg. 86

These guys all priced for scores around 50-55. Depending on JS I'm thinking of riding all three of them and hoping one continues their average and the other two rise enough to make them viable stepping stones to a rising premium. Doesn't seem like a huge risk to me but all opinions are valued

In may be Richmond bias, but I'm fairly certain he'll be best 22 and I think he could be a decent stepping stone. I'm not expecting him to set the world on fire and punch out 80s every week, but I think he can do well enough to get a worthy price rise.

I'm not decided if I will actually go with a mid pricer, but if I do I think I prefer it to be Jaksch or MacMillian simply because they are so much cheaper compared to the rest making the risk a lot less

Ibbo, Geary etc might be better scorers, but 350k is a lot to put up for someone who will need to be upgrade later. I just think those cheaper options will make just as much money, if not more, and require a smaller outlay making it more feasible

I believe it was doc last year who coined the phrase "RD RSI" or something like that - completely agree. In saying that, I'm taking Geary as I think there's a chance he could turn out to be a keeper. So I'll mentally prepare myself that I'll probably need to trade him, but I'll cross my fingers, toes and testicles that he pulls a rabbit out of a hat and goes 90+.

Yeah the thing is they only need to get around a 70 average (The game Hunt had 69 was with 6 clangers and 55% DE) to make us around $100k which I see as a pretty safe choice with low downside considering the options we have now, and it also gives you wiggle room to get that breakout star

T-Hunt's got a bit of a habit of racking up stats like that though iirc, that's the only thing making me steer clear.

Go with M.Talia (priced at 46, averaged 75 in 2013) at D6 and Hamling at D7 and you'll have one playing every week for sure!

My choice out of this lot is Ibbo and currently got him at d6 and am very happy to see that my POD d5 hasn't been mentioned :-)

An hour ago you had Savage and MacMillian at 5 and 6...

Must be awkwardly priced...
Ellis?
Dempsey?
Vlastuin?
Young?

The suspense hurts cortez...

Yep, but that's the "POD" cortez was referring to

With the depth people are going to this year in filling D5 and D6 with midpricers I'm curious as to how deep you are all batting in the midfield......?

Its the fwd line that ppl are going weaker. A lot going with 3 premos, and some with even only 2
