Looks like a premiums article so no access here. Team Pickers opens Monday 5th December? Awesome.

[kilbluff1985]

no leaks on position like usual?

[The_Captain]

What are people's thoughts on Jackson Ramsay as a cheap defender this year?

Only ever got games when they had a large number of injuries... Cant see him in the best 30, so unless serious injury strikes them again, cant see him getting a start.

Think this may be part of the reason SuperCoach are opening so early, to get ahead of Fantasy.

Actually glad we got Petrie now

Lycett won't be back til mid season now  :-[

Giles and Petrie!

Giles - 278k (fanplanner price of 185k is way out)
Vardy - 230k

Worth a look? Would probably consider Giles if DPP but if not I can't see myself leaving out one of Gawn/Goldy and he's to expensive for R3.
Vardy's JS is probably a bit questionable to be a real consideration

What's heeney priced at? Very keen on him this year

430k

A bit awkward, would need to become a keeper at that price

Will Heeney be M, F or M/F though?

Only really went into the midfield proper in the finals series so best case M/F but will still jump on if he is just a forward

[_wato]

Heeney is a deadset lock
Should play high half forward wing and fill in the void left by Titchell

There will be 119 senior listed DPP's to choose from in #SuperCoach and #AFLFantasy. #2017AFLProspectus

Bring on Monday so we can find out.

I do not see how Heeney is in any sense of the word a "lock"

I expect him to be a M/F DPP with a starting price at an average of 80
If you look at a FWD structure you really want to pick starting players that will average 100+ and rookies that will get 70+ allowing keepers and maximum cash generation.

I would say he has about a 10% chance of hitting a 100 average and is more likely to come in around the 90 mark. He has proven he can score highly  (3x 120+ & 2x  100-120), but 2 of the 120+ where when he kicked bags of 4 & 5. He had 12 scores under 80 (very toby greene style) which is poor.
For me I won't be picking him as a starter as I want to see more consistency in his scores pushing the sub 80s to 80+, if he looks like he is doing this then he is a great option as an upgrade target.

Essentially the pricepoint he is at and the historical non consistency make him a really risky starting option, but has huge potential as an upgrade target if he is showing consistency in a wing role. without any HFF run with roles..
