J Kelly anyone?

Just dont think he'll get the mid minutes he'll need to be a worthy fantasy pick.

My bad, Josh came to mind. The comment probably stands for both, though, although it wouldn't surprise me if James went 90+.

Lachie Neale?

He is getting me slightly excited the way he is continuing last year's late form on but not sure how I can fit him in.

Only way I can see it, is atm I have:
NVB & NicNat....
Could turn that to Neale & Belly but huuuge risk

Neale is a gun, and will be in everyone's fantasy teams in the future. However, I can't see him going any more than 105 this season, so he just won't score enough to be a keeper or make enough money to be a worthwhile pick.

How about Daniel Wells guys?

My North Melbourne bias might not help, but apparently he's back to his best on the preseason track.

Could easily average 95-100, especially with Boomer and Dal Santo attracting the taggers.

At 360k he could make for a quick upgrade somewhere between rounds 6-8?

Not considering him personally - Some good discussion here though:

Taylor Walker?

100 season not long ago, with an improving midfield delivering him the ball.

I wouldn't pick him but he is cheap.

Is Kade Simpson worth the cash?

Weirdly I haven't been too interested in Simpson this year. He was a huge lock for me last year, even with all the high scoring backmen, yet with the huge lack of them this time round I just don't fancy him. Maybe it was how he treated me over the last month of 2014 combined with his early bye that has me thinking he's my number 1 defender upgrade target. No doubt he'll be around the 95 mark again.

TBag provides enough hype for him to make up for all 200,000+ coaches with a SC team :P

I am not hearing much talk of Shane Mumford, and he is only in 5.68% of teams.

Has a huge ceiling as he showed last year, not only racks up the hitouts but also tackles and gets disposals around the ground which helps his scoring compared to other ruckman. Has had his first full pre season in about 5 years and does the majority of the Giants ruck work.

A lock at R1 for me.
Yep, same.

I think a lot are scared off by the fact he's never played a full season and to a lesser extent his price.

The rest are on the Goldy/NicNat/Belly bandwagons.

Mummy and Ivan have been my rucks since day one.

This has been my ruck combo for the last few weeks.

Mumford's first 2 games are against St Kilda and Melbourne, I'd be surprised if he doesn't get 140 in both of those!
Started last year with 132, 158 and 164. Rounds 2 and 3 (158 and 164) were against St Kilda and Melbourne respectively.

Missed the next 6 weeks with back soreness (no surprises). Returned in Round 10 for a quiet one against my mob (Tiges) and only scored 40.

The next 4 weeks were Hawks, Dons, Lions and Blues and his scores were 115, 112, 123, 152.

Only 2 tons over the next 6 weeks but had a 99 against us this time around.

Proceeded to finish the year with 112, 165 and 101 against Melbourne, Collingwood and the Dogs.

Locked. Just make sure you have adequate cover. Although, I'm convinced this is the year he plays a full season!  8)

What Nige said
Adequate cover is the operative word.  Normally starts the season on fire, then when everyone jumps on, he's a late withdrawl in about R4, then listed as 1-2 weeks on the injury list until about R10.
