LDU vs Walsh.  Don't think I'll take both.

meh wait for the rest of the games b4 u start stressing

25 touches and 91SC from Zac Butters from 70% TOG was very impressive. Willem Drew also managed a team-high 11CPs and 7 clearances while operating at 93% DE for his 77 SC. Both look like pretty decent options if named Round 1.

I can’t see how butters doesn’t play round 1 ... he’s a gun

[fanTCfool]

...and a lazy 101 from Hately against the Swans. Sheesh.

yeah i posted a pic in discord but i'm considering Miles/Walsh at M4/M5 then butters, hately, caldwell etc

then roberton at d5 etc

Watched that game. Would be surprised if he didn't play round 1. Cool and composed with the ball in hand which for a 1st year player in the mids is rare.

Caldwell was solid as well. Did some good things but is a bit more pricey as a mid rookie option (I think around 160k)

Is there a thread with Supercoach scores from JLT? Some kind person did it for everyone last year. Just wondering if I’m missing it.

it's in the matchcenter things on the front page the SC scores get updated a couple hours after

[RaisyDaisy]

One thing to remember, this draft pool is the best we've had since the GWS GC days, so the expensive rookies might be worth starting

Guys that went Pick 10-20 in this draft will be better than guys who have gone Top 10 in previous drafts

So many gun kids in this draft - I've got high hopes for cash cows this year

Thanks fanTCfool and kilbluff.

Since most of the games have been played, these are the guys I am considering for spots


Back

Ridley
Collins
Clark
Duursma
Burgess
Hore

Logue - Hasn't played yet
Watson - Looks to have scored well but won't get a game come the real stuff
Jones - May not get a game come the real stuff
Scrimshaw - See Jones

Mid

Walsh (lockety lock)
Cousins
LDU
Butters
Hately
Constable
Gibbons
Caldwell
Atkins

Ruck

Archie Smith - Probably won't hold down the spot more than a fortnight
Pierce - Already banged up
Clarke - Seems the best option
Fort - Probably a R3 loophole at best

Forward

Setterfield - (Lockety lock)
Drew
Parker

Rozee - pricey and may not score
Petruccelle - unsure on job security
Balta - Unsure on job security
Burgess is also an option here

Right now I'd be tempted to go light in the midfield and load up in the forward line. Down back it looks like there is options galore to go with a plethora of mid price options. I think you need to bat 4 premiums deep this year up forward.

[jvalles69]

Disagree regarding the forward spot. I've thought long and hard and apart from. Danger, Smith and Heeney, I couldn't tell you who will be the other top forwards. So I'm going 3 heavy in the forward and letting things settle before I flesh the last 3 spots out. I trust the back mid pricers way more than any forward mid pricers.

[Mat0369]

Menegola, Mundy and Boak also feel pretty safe to be up there.

I think going 4 mid prems with a forward line of Danger, Smith, Heeney, Menegola, Setters and Drew, along with a backline of Laird, Williams, Smith, Roberton, Ridley and Collins is probably safer than having to start two of the trash forward rookies on field and starting Lloyd down back and a Libba in the mids. The defensive mid price options are streets better than the forwards as well.
