Looking over his numbers, Menegola might just be the Kade Simpson of the forward line

We know he'll be in the Top group, yet most of us won't pick them

Sounds crazy doesn't it?

Flower it, I'm going to try and fit this bloke in!

Thing with Menegola is that he’s so frustrating to own, goes 60 then 130 then 55 then 80 then 3 straights tons ahahah

Menegola's definitely an odd one. As others as said, he's just a straight up vanilla pick but you know what you're getting and that's actually gold, especially when you consider he's more than likely a POD.

Not sure I'll be picking him though.

For me, the one I'm seriously looking at is TJ Lynch. Probably a bit of Tiger bias, but I genuinely think he's an extremely good chance to average 90.

2014   22   83.2
2015   20   88.3
2016   22   93.2
2017   19   85.1

He's done that in the past and is now in a better team, I think he needs to be considered.

Lynch hasn't had a preseason & is unlikely to play round 1.

Yeah, I'm aware of this, it's more of a hopeful, best case scenario kind of thing.

I still think he's one to monitor regardless.

Can't pick him based off this preseason. If anything, maybe look to bring him in as an upgrade target if he warrants it

I had a look at Menegola, but he's just too boring haha. Also, I think he is priced at max value, where as there are some guys priced 5-10ppg cheaper who I think can push 100 this year too, so that's probably the main reason he has low ownership

117 average in the last 6 weeks for Menegola.

Could say he’s underpriced. I’m locking him in again. Find me a forward who went 110+ 11/22 games.

Geez. That is enticing.

Danger and Heeney are locked for me but Smith could easily turn into Mengola.

Can't just pick the stat that looks best to sell your point

He also had 8 scores under 80 last year

If he didn't finish the year as strong as he did - from Round 1 - 17 his average was 93.75

There's other guys I'd rather who should match his 100 avg, without putting in so many sub 80 scores and being the rollercoaster he is

Gus Brayshaw and Jack Billings fit in here.

Also Hugh McCluggage is the big one which I'm still working up the courage to pick.

Which means he'll be 100k cheaper at some stage in the year.

Depends when they happen. If he goes 120/80/120/80 etc then he wont drop much :p

Yeah, depends obviously

Last year he started at 551k. It took until Round 10 for him to drop to 498k, and then he spent the next 10 weeks floating between 498-440k, so you can certainly get him cheaper, but it's the when that is unknown

Either way, I see no need to start him
