Who are your uniques???

[dmac07]

Guessing which ones will actually be unique, but;

H.Shaw, Docherty, Pendlebury??, R.Gray??, T.Greene??

None of the above.

Unique has to be an under 5%.

Not 50%.

Shaw should be fairly unique amongst people who actually know how to play.

Gray and Greene will be genuine PODs I would think, in less than 10% of teams at this early stage. If either of them dominate the NAB a few more will jump on the bandwagon though.

Think Gray will be like Rocky a few years back

Dominate FF sides but doesn't make a lot of SC teams

A fit Robbie Gray seems to be very consistent the past 2 years with 111 & 110, one year was good for Port the other not so much.
So he scores well overall whether they win or lose, i'm trying to work out if that 110 mark is his wall...Wines 75k less 105+  ???

WTF...Bizarre comment. I take it you aren't starting him and believe top liners won't as they'll get him cheaper later.
However top teams should have him as he is likely to be the top defender IMO and he won't cost you a trade to bring in... Unless you agree with that and basing it on teams observed in Rate my team section.
Sure he is expensive but he is a solid pick and if you know how to play you'll want him so how will be unique?

My reasoning is two-fold:

Firstly, I am yet to see him in a team posted on this site or others, already making him 'unique amongst people who know how to play.'

Secondly, Shaw is a consistent 95(ish) scorer across his career, with last year's 112 (in my eyes) a definite outlier. He also played 22 games for the first time in 8 years, again consolidating my opinion that he is overpriced by roughly 10-15 points. I expect him to be a top defender for sure, though can't justify 600k for it, and I am assuming most others feel the same. 600k should get you a premium mid who is a captaincy option, Shaw isn't that. You could argue that a 400k defender might trump him for that top spot.

I'm leaning towards Roughfacehead. If player's are going to be resting in forward line will he get more time on ball. Either as ruck backup or midfielder, thoughts?

My thoughts exactly mate! But thinking this will only happen against weaker teams, he'll play predominately forward against good opposition which makes it tough, because without him up forward their ony option is GUNston

[Swoozie]

Not seeing a lot of love for Montagna.

Might be tempted into taking a punt on him. Will probably go with Dalhaus instead.

I don't believe so. Think he is capable of 115+ this year

[Mantis]

Think D,Shiel will have a massive year, guts telling me to pick him but struggling to see who to take out of my mids as my mids are a little safe at the moment, think Shiel could be a great pod. Pendles, Ablett, Gray, JPK, Rocky are current premo mids

[meow meow]

Liking Tom Mitchell more than JPK at this point.

[The_Captain]

Thinking Birchall at this stage... Maybe Tom McDonald. Backs I just don't feel comfortable with... No matter how I set it out.

[Money Shot]

I think I might choice Pittard as a unique. He has been really consistant and should only improve with the Power.
