I'd be happy to start a KPP, but the ones I think can go 95+ (JJK, NROO, Buddy) are all at max value right now which is the turn off

Dahl and Macrae have scope to improve making them the insta picks, and besides those two there's nothing else I really like at the moment, hence looking at guys like Ryder, Roughy and Bennell

Jack Riewoldt worth consideration.

Tom Lynch the one for me. Gold Coast are only going to be better this year, give him better delivery. New captain of the club. Several years younger than the other KPP available too and likely the only one yet to hit his best.
With you on this.  TL from Gold Coast is only KPF being considered for my team.  Lids is definite no due to injury and reliability.    Dahl, Macrea  definite then caddy, roughy, TL.   Upgrades will include Bennell and maybe Ryder depending what is happening with rucks and Port.

Lynch (GC) will most likely be my F2. But Cyril is seriously tempting. Pretty much guaranteed to average 90+, and should see a little more midfield time this season, which should net him another 5-8ppg.

Cyril misses too many matches to consider.

Cyril will have his hamstring go ping in round 10

or Rd 1?      Cyril is on my never list.

Speaking of often injured guys, Tom Nicholls got injured and it isn't even round 1 yet. There is also that possibility for Cyril.

GWS say Lids will play at least one JLT match, and be good to go Round 1

Does that change anyone's thoughts?

Haven't considered him once personally, because I just can't see him playing all year

Age isn't a worry, just injury

If he plays one JLT game he's in for me - prefer him over a lot of forward options

Lids a mid year upgrade target for me.

What sort of forward line setups are people going with currently?

It's the only line that I can't quite settle on. Dahl locked at F1 and Rough locked anywhere from F2 to F4, but can't settle on the rest

Feel like I need one of Ryder or Nank for cover, and based on the available forwards this year I think any forward who averages 90+ is good enough, compared to previous years where we had several 100+ possibilities, so with that being the case it's even more reason to not start 500k guys etc, and look for value options who should be able to go 90+, Nank, Ryder, Heeney, Touk, Wingard etc etc

I've had Rough at F3 for a while followed by 5 rookies, but I just can't see that being attainable and I think he needs to be F4, because I can't see too much rookies coming through

Dunno why Lance Buddy hasn't shown up much lately. Played every game last year!
