As WCE supporter I am very aware of picking with my heart not head. Yeo had another yo-yo year in 2018 but his big days won me matches ...

I'd pick Yeo in a heartbeat, has such a beast inside game and can finish it off on the scoreboard (remember that time in the 2018 Grand Final when he slotted that goal from 55 :')

Only concern is his limited preseason due to toe surgery

Has a tough opening round as well even if he does play

Sloane and Yeo are two im looking very closely at, 6% and 7%. Ive locked in Cripps, Dusty and Merrett, then need to split Kelly/Fyfe and Sloane/Yeo as the POD 5th.
fyfe and yeo would be my preference.

Yeo in doubt for round 1

SilverLion

Not sure on his % ownership, but am liking Tim Kelly as a bit of a PoD. If there's one thing we know in SC, it's that the best forwards are usually predominant midfielders, which Kelly almost exclusively is.

Mat0369

Sam Petrevski-Seton

Forward eligible is huge and he is expected to play big midfield minutes.

He struggled to get going in what was a disappointing season last year. He flashed some legit skill and scoring potential his first season. That game against the Pies saw him go north of 130 and get him brownlow votes. Thing is I think he has only broken the ton 4 times in 40 odd games.

Might not be bad for a big jump to 90 odd this year which could make him a passable F6.

Love SPS, whats his preseason been like? And how many mid minutes are we talking? His tackle numbers are pretty elite for someone his size, could definitely be in line for a Devon Smith type season of 85-90 imo (not at 105 level just yet)

Mat0369

Apparently it's been outstanding, however you don't hear blah blah has had a crap preseason very often so take that with a grain of salt

I can say he was so displeased with his own season last year that he started back early and worked on getting his tank up to scratch. I believe he was working with Doc and they were running mates until Doc tore his ACL. He missed a chunk of preseason last year and getting him fitter should see him be able to handle those mid minutes.

And to answer the mid minutes question, he just did the heavy lifting in the practice match and played as a full blown mid in match sim. Cripps and Fisher didn't play but Murphy is expected to play on the wing with Ed Curnow playing some pressure forward.

Hi SL, I got him when he was 6%, he is currently on 9%

Yeah love it, Carlton are clearly pumping games into the kids. Dow started in the center square for 3 of the 4 opening quarter bounces in the Hawks inter-club. SPS only got 2, but played off a wing and provided great impact apparently. Really like both as sleeper forwards late in drafts ;)

Nige

Not even sure how much of POD he is, but based on what I saw today from him in the praccy match, Taranto is a lock for me.

Wines out of the mids for a bit, Boak and my main man Hamish will pick up the slack and the score.

Only in 3% so definitely a big POD.
If he was a mid/fwd he'd be locked in my team but as a mid only I'm struggling to have the courage

Port said the Boak fwd experiment failed so he goes back to mids, making him value

Not sure on Hammer off an ACL
