Tom Hawkins. Get on. Expect a solid 55 avg.
Nah, Casboult a better pick. His kicking has really improved  :P

Rory Lobb just completed his first match of the year in the NEAFL, only 3% ownership. With Simpson being largely ineffectual I'm tipping he'll be number 1 ruck. Definitely worth considering.

Was in my first side drafted and only left a few weeks ago due to injury

Probably a watch and see for me. Bundy to Lobb if need be will be an easy upgrade
If Lobb plays Round 1, I really don't know how I'll be able to turn him down.

Has always shown significant potential as a forward in Mummy's shadow. He is ready to take the next step if fit.

Saw some footage of the match and he was moving really well, hard to gauge from such a lowly comp but I think he will be right. The stat that should get everyone excited is his HOTA, he's number 1 in the comp, albeit from a smaller sample size.

Thoughts on Oliver as Danger replacement?

Bit like Titch, didn't really put in a bad game last year.

Doesn’t really have the body of work behind him that Titch does though. Mind you doesn’t seem to be resting on his laurels, just needs to increase kick:handball ratio for an easy increase in points

Can anyone enlighten me on Taberners role? Has it purely been stay at home forward...? Cause he averaged 20 touches and 10 marks across his two matches in the JLT and those are impressive numbers for a #1 forward if so

Getting time in the ruck too as Freo won't play Sandi and Darcy together. Scoring well at the moment, but dont forget he is Matt Taberner so can revert back to 30s at any given time. Tread with caution.

Thanks chief, explains the extra touches. Doubt id could pick him over the Brissy fwds. Just interesting. Really rate freo's draw and cant afford Walters over Petracca atm so was finding other ways of getting a few freo players in.

We're moving the ball a lot quicker at the moment which always helps fwds. That and that he's getting a bit of time in the ruck where he's able to use his tank and work off oppo rucks.

Thanks. Very interesting prospect over your Bundys, Bells, Dunkleys etc. BUt i tend to steer clear of KPP's. Not the biggest fan of 30's

I'm all about Ryan from Freo, looks a boss, anyone else keen?

 PODs based on low ownership%
Backs -
Simpson,Houli,Rich,Roberton,Savage,Shaw,JJ,Rance,Ellis
Mids -
GAJ,Sloane,Zorko,Neale,Oliver,Parker,Duncan,Merrett,Pendles,Adams,Treloar,Macrae,Beams,JPK,Selwood,Rocky
Rucks -
Anyone not named Gawn or NicNat, Ryder only just above 10% next most popular
Forwards -
Menegola,Barlow,Boak,McLean,Curnow,Wingard,Dixon,JJK,Mundy

Some really good options there especially in the mids. Followed by Rucks although that will change if NN misses round one.
Then the backs as most have 1 - 3 of Laird,Hibberd,Yeo,Hurley.
The fwds are the least appealing can't say I'm exciting about any of those apart from possibly Barlow and Boak but I think they have too much competition for points. Menegola an upgrade target particularly if GAJ goes down for any extended period but not to start.

The forwards is the one line I'm not mucking around with

Buddy, Heeney, Greene, Billings, Walters and possibly Lobb are the only players I am looking at to fill F1-4. 4 of them share a bye which means I'll start 3 of them most likely and make sure only Danger/Fyfe are my mids with that same bye

Will try and get some POD's down back and in the mids
