2021 Mids

Anyone considering LDU and Dom Tyson

Think you have to take Heppell in that range & I don't think another mid pricer would be wise.

Heppell is way past his best and has a new role in the backs now scored 53 yesterday and played a full game LDU is in the next crop of mid guns he might not quite get there this year but he will outscore Heppell easily IMO I would even take Tyson over Heppell because of his price.

Fair enough, so Heppell not playing a rebound role? Thought he might pick up where Saad left off.

Looks like Hind has taken Saad’s rebounding and running role Bully. Had Heppell before but have taken him out for Tyson for now. Atkins may be the other I’m look at depending on how he goes tonight.

Thinking seriously about ditching Neale so I can drag m5 up to an acceptable level. Taranto I reckon is the bare minimum.

I’m in a similar position now.

Williams out means I want to upgrade to Short/Daniel rather than downgrade and Neale seems like the one that should go.

Yes mate, I don't normally overlook a definite top 8 mid but the other lines are suffering.

How is everyone feeling about Heppell after his pre season game? And how are we comparing him to Caldwell?

Proven 80s+ player, his last time scoring 80 was his rookie year off a HBF, looks to be playing a lucrative HB role again this season, looks fit and health however his score of 51 from 21 disposal was a mild concern in the pre season game. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Take pre-season with a grain of salt. Bont scored huge in the pre-season last year as well and opened the season with 76, 94 and 97 before the huge score of 166 and a crappy 55. Heppell has shown he is an 80 player off HB so you can expect that as his floor. The question is if he averages 80 over the first 10 games will he make enough cash if they're all high floor low ceiling scores?

No doubt he's a high standard deviation player but he's good for 115, possibly higher.

When did Heppell show he's an 80avg off HB?

Yeah only a preseason game but Heppell scored 53 from a full game don't really see any point getting him if you are going to take a punt on someone Tyson for about 72K less seems to make more sense.

Did anyone watch the Eagles game, what happened with Gaff, he had 8 marks & 16 disposals in around 80% TOG but scored 57
was he tagged or just did nothing with the possessions he had ?

I could hear the game in the background and I remember hearing the commentators say he was being tagged and it was taking a bit of the run away from the Eagles.
Hopefully somebody who actually watched the game can verify this.

Yep He was tagged for probably the first time in his career which was interesting.
