Seedsman (mid only) is in as many teams as Pendles. WHY?

Pretty sure The Seed can be selected as a DEF
Seedsman the master of having a great half and completely disappearing in the other but unfortunately if the rookies don't drop for round one we may be forced to look at players like him heaven forbid

You don't have to. You could easily go weaker in the mids with a guy like Griff or JOM and bring in a premo in defense but everyone is obsessed with their superpremo mids. I saw a team with Cripps at M7 while their backline looked like dogshower. Kind of defeats the purpose.
I will be getting someone like JOM at M6 if can afford but until rookies become clear it is all guess work who will fill the latter positions in our lines

There is a very, very high class midfielder who used to be an absolute lock that is only in 9% of teams.

Currently sits as my M5. Thought his percentage ownership would be higher.

Ive got Pendles too.. I mean who

Has been training with the defenders, can't see him averaging 110+ in that position.

Some of the ownership %s this year are utterly whack.  If it stays that way this community and any other which takes the game half seriously will go extremely well this year.

JOM 25.4%, Petracca 23.5%, Christensen 20.7%, Brayshaw 15.7%, Stringer 14.4%, McGrath 12.9%

Now I understand one or two of them will make the jump, but none of them have the history.  They're all over 10%!!!!!!!!! 

Then you have a bunch of guys sub-10% ownership who actually have the scoring history: Hanley, Lids, Libba, Griffen.

To be fair JOM & Christensen have had two seasons of 90+, don't think they're as risky as the others.

As for Libba, looked at him but has gone backwards ever since the knee injury. Griffen & Lids maybe worth a look.

Source for the Pendles training with defenders? I'd find that very surprising if its true, surely he'd be training with mids majority of the time even if he did play 50/50 across HBF

Old news though. That article is over a month old and from the scratch match and most recent training sessions, Pendles was in at every single stoppage. Pure midfielder this season imo

Based on last year I wouldn't go there, I had Pendles too and he was a dud in the backend of the season. Granted he was playing hurt but the back flank stuff destroyed his scoring. Happy to grab him if he proves me wrong.

Backend of the season he didn't play. Last game was R17
I also cannot remember him playing across half back for long period of the game. His DT points were on par with his season when he averaged 124. His distribution is what hurt his scoring last year.

I watched basically every Collingwood game last year and I don't think I saw Pendles spend any time on a back flank.

Jack Martin is going to be a midfielder this year according to Dew. If it wasn't for that early bye I would be all over that 1% ownership.

Dinky kicks in the back half is what I remember, completely lacked hurt factor. Very similar to the criticism Trent Cotchin copped for a few years. Kicking was also off. In any case I think he's a risk, will jump on if things improve.

Is there any reason why no one is choosing Mundy in fwd line. Plays through mid, always scores consistently well, and with lack of quality fwds is a nice POD... thoughts!

if he didn't share the same bye as danger dusty etc, probably would consider him.

Only 1 ton after bye, think he's past it.

Mundy will justify his forward status by spending bulk minutes there.

Prefer Walters. Training with midfield. Mundy,Matera and Bennell when he's back will play forward mostly,leaving Walters,Fyfe and Neale a formidable mid core with the Hill bros. on the wings.
Not the worst option for his price but I'd prefer others.
