Anyone interested by 260k Harry Taylor?

Meh, probably too likely to get thrown around and I don't know how I feel about the Cats backline. Hendo could be cooked and Taylor would have to lock down. Probably not playing that intercepting role anymore and from what I gather he may be fringe now.

4 out of 18 kick ins tonight were played on. Think everyones predictions of huge additional points are looking a little overzealous now.

Is that a one off though? Havent seen the stats but from the games I've watched it looked like they were playing on more often than not

Mixed bag, a couple last week were at either ends of the spectrum (Swans game was fk all from memory)

Milera? Had a look at his end to the last season and it's quite nice...

Methinks recency bias is about the only reason Michael Hurley is in only 2% of teams.

I could understand... 8%. But 2%? Jamie Macmillan is in more teams.

Hurley is an interesting one. Dominated 2017 and the start of 2018 but then went to poo. Did he go more lockdown? And if so is that changing this year?

Think he battled with his body quite a bit last year. Sounds like he's had a pretty good preseason

always worth a look. not sure I could pull the trigger. doubt the consistency I want from a Def keeper will be there with HT. Always throws in some big games though.

Cheap enough to take the punt. Prefer him to Ridley tbh. But tenfold prefer Roberton to both.

With Daniher back forward, and Stringer looking excellent, Hooker could go back to defence and free up Hurley. He was locked into my team until Hooker's injury. I wouldn't expect massive scores from him early but once Hooker's back Hurley could be a nice upgrade target.

Essendon had a lot more success in the second half of the year with Hurley playing a traditional KPD role instead of seagulling around the half back line with Goddard. I daresay if they want to win games this year they'll keep it that way too.

Thoughts on Harris Andrews?
Averaged 92 last year (not including his 22 when he was knocked out early)

Has a very SC friendly style with the number of spoils and intercept marks he takes.
Has also looked very good in the JLT; 87 in JLT1 and looks likely to ton up in JLT2.

At only 30k more than Witherden, I see him being much more likely to finish in the top 6 defenders.

Could easily go 95+, only thing would be that as a KPD, could see him drop in price a bit at some stage and pick him up a bit cheaper. WitherGOAT should be more consistent. But definitely a good option.

I had Mills cemented in my team with that talk of mid rotation, Lloyd out today probably could be the reason why but Mills has gone back to half back and is playing well... Idk if thats a good sign.

Game high 15 CBAs in JLT1.

Now playing deep back. Who knows. He doesn't really have the body to play midfield. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of it.
