Dees only kicked 6 behinds, I saw 4, Maynard for 3 of them can't recall the 4th but it wasn't Moore.
He did some nice things, took a couple of intercept marks

Darcy Moore played deep in defence and looked sore in the early stages, going off to get some ice in the first term.

But thankfully he re-emerged and performed well, dragging down two towering marks in the third term.

Cheers guys

As I said Earle it is interesting that we are all making assumptions as to who will benefit from the new kick in rules without also considering the effect of the new centre bounce set ups 6-6-6 as I think this will also effect some defenders hence why I will be watching the JLT closely to see the effect of both rules.

I see a lot of people assuming its just going to be more points to the players kicking out. Theres so much more to it though. Players that used to receive the ball from kick-ins will have their points effected, players that used to take contested marks will be effected and entire structures are likely to change with the ball going over zones instead of them creating a repeat stoppage.

I think its super important to see the different strategies in play and gauge how teams will approach it, as its unlikely the scoring is similar to 2018. More chance of a shake up to the top 10 defenders than ever I'd think.

Too many unknowns about rule changes.  lots of assumptions that may or may not be credible.   I have structural rules around my team planning and see no reason to change them.   Use to be only one def over 500k in my starting team.  At the moment I have two.  Laird and Whitfield.   Laird will repeat -see earlier post showing avgs over past 4 yrs for laird, sicily and simmo.   Love simmo and likely to be in my end of season team.   Siciliy likewise.  Lloyd is too uncertain on what sort of output you will get.  Certainly not 600k worth.  Whitfield is high probablity to score +100 which is prem for def every day of the year.
If rules impact scoring patterns I will need to adjust but with only laird, whitfield and williams over 400k in my team plenty of scope to do so.

I'd rather higher priced rookies in defence than even worse scoring rookies in forwards. I think we'll actually have more options in defence Quaynor, Hore, McKay, Logue, Collins, Duursma all looking likely.
Who is there in fwds? Apart from Setterfield who may or may not be ready there's Parker, Cavarra and Petrucelle all small fwds, the first two from bottom teams and the later who maybe only there until LeCras gets back. I'd rather Quaynor and Duursma on field than Parker/Cavarra/Petrucelle

Lecras isn't coming back lol

Setterfield played today in the midfield so he should be fine for Round 1

Duursma is 130k so he's fine, but all the 150k+ guys - getting rid of them and going deep like I have has given me 14 keepers + 2   200k guys and I'm liking that more

He killed it apparently! Very very tempting
