Player X v Player Y

[GraysFan]

Dylan Shiel vs Bennell (obviously can easily restructure team)

Bennell. Has more of a chance of being a top 8 forward than what Shiel has being a top 10 midfielder

[ronl]

Had both these players last year.  Even though each could go really big, they could also go just as low.  I'm sure both will be more consistent this year but of the two I'd say Bennell, if he's been able to fix his attitude problem, has more upside than Shiel. Getting away from the Gold Coast will be a plus for him.  He'll be in my team as I think he is an incredibly gifted player and, really, an untapped goldmine.

Sam Kerridge v Jarryd Lyons.

Tossing up whether to take both. 
Lyons was Crows main vest candidate last year(9/13 played) but unsubbed averaged 78 (which includes a 46),  Will he be the one to step up with Danger leaving?
Kerridge is some $100k cheaper but will he get opportunities with all the Blues ins.
Lyons I think has the greater upside for cash generation which is what we are seeking early. Priced at a 45 average to start.

Both, if selected. Lyons is going to be my POD, don't think many will start him and he has shown a solid ceiling.

Lyons is like Jed Anderson, on the fringe of playing and not playing. Will likely need a injury or two to get a consistent run in the team. I think there is better value around that price range, but if you are looking for a POD then not a bad shout.

Yeah, he would have to get selected first, but at this early stage I think he might. I would purely be selecting him as a very high priced rookie who has shown he can score above 100. After all, it's all about getting a solid ave over 5-6 rounds, with 1 100+ score in his last 3, and he could be a very early stepping stone to a Goldy/Fyfe type, for example. Problem will be having another ripe early too, maybe a Wells/Kennedy/Myers type.

I was curious about these two as well. But without The NAB knowledge have taken both at this stage    :)

If you select Parker then it's the same mid as me atm

Probably Selwood though tbh

Watson? Really? No justification would get me even considering him again. Well and truly past it.

Gray seems the safest pick out of the four you mentioned.

Lyons is a proven ball winner at SANFL level and kicks goals, none of that has transitioned over to AFL yet because he hasn't been given the chance (always sub) it could go either way, the sub rule being abolished could help him or see him on the fringe, i lean towards he will get a chance.
He has recruited a sports scientist to work closely with mainly on his running efficiency & endurance.

It's a crazy M3 imo not to have others but, Sloane of them. Selwood maybe but he's a caution, but he's the best option. Sloane set to have his best year given age and the inbred Dangerless
Watson? Really? No justification would get me even considering him again. Well and truly past it.
