117 average in the last 6 weeks for Menegola.

Could say heâ€™s underpriced. Iâ€™m locking him in again. Find me a forward who went 110+ 11/22 games.

I keep wanting to say there is more midfield time up for grabs next season but there simply isn't. Gaz probably spending 20% time more fwd but Danger has trimmed down to play more midfield and Parfitt and Cockatoo have been touted as getting more time on ball to add a new dimension to the Cats one-paced midfield. Still can't see much else from Menegola other than that flat 100 he's so well known for these days. Premo fwd for sure but probably see him limited to that

Dunkley and TKelly are a couple of interesting ones up forward I think. Both should be playing predominantly midfield.

If we get confirmation that Dunkley is now a midfielder he is a must-have imo. Could go 105+ for sure. All depends on their midfield mix with Libba back and McLean fit again

Dunkley's second half of last year was better than Libba has been since 2014 and better than McLean has ever been. Would be seriously surprised if he's sent back to the forward line for those two.

One from left field, far left field.....

The tomahawk....?

Anyone think the new zone rule will be a huge help to the big marking forwards? Less chance of being double teamed and the third man coming over top with the spoil. Potentially quicker and cleaner exits from centre bounces.

Tonnes up 10 times last year, six of which were 120+.
90â€™s 3 times.

Would take a big set of cohunas!

How does everyone feel about Jordan De Goey this season?

He will do good when he kicks a few goals but with all there mids can't see him getting much of a look in downfield.

Yep. Reckon he will need 3 or 4 goals to ton up.

125+ replies about different POD's and all sorts of names being thrown up, but who is committed to picking their POD's?

Let's say a POD is anyone with an ownership of 10% or less

Who are going with for sure, that fits that?

Dunkley might be better there but Libba can't play anywhere else so it's about team structure and balance as well.

Same reason Collingwood are going to have to find different positions and roles for their mids. Pendles is still in their top 3 mids but he's suited to other positions more than the other guys so he might have to play across half back or half forward

I thought Libba was a wingman and not midfield, but I could be wrong.

Buddy only 4%? Averaged 100 and didn't even train for most of the year did he?

Can get him cheaper during the year.

Racing the clock to be ready by Round 1 - never a good sign, and as SL said will drop in value at some point

Dew on Jack Martin

"He's got really fit, so we'd love to play him in the midfield a fair bit. We know he can play forward and hit the scoreboard, but I think Jack is hungry for a bit more responsibility."

This kid was touted as being one of the greatest players ever when he was a junior. Could he completely break out as a mid this year?
