2015 lock ins.

[Ricochet]

Beams, Griffen, Whiley?  or would you not pick Griffen and Beams now?

I'd wait and see how both settle in to their new teams tbh mate
Especially at their prices, you won't lose much by not starting them

[Mr.Witt]

That's what I was thinking maybe you would have to take the risk on Whiley more than the others because he will have more money too make then the others!

[Pkbaldy]

Christian Petracca, Alex Neal-Bullen, Caleb Daniel, Touk Miller, Jarrod Garlett are all youngsters I will be getting if they are named round 1.

[kilbluff1985]

If Petracca does not play round 1 Saints are tanking he will be 250k though

[blewy09]

Who are the best 1st year youngsters to pick from in 2015?

Besides Petracca, Brayshaw and Heeney?

I don't think I'd start Beams, but I will be very tempted to start Griffen. Injuries and the burden of captaincy restricted him, and if priced unders which I expect he will be hard to ignore

[kilbluff1985]

Ward is a lock for me over Griff because Griff should get more attention

[AaronKirk]

Does the bye spread sway anyone to not start Ablett? Now we know that GC have the bye in the first week I am very tempted not to start him.

Without knowing prices my first 3 locked in mids are Rocky, Ward and Pendles.  Prices will determine my 4th mid picked but I would be leaning toward Fyfe which would be a 1-2-1 bye spread.

If I start with 5 premo mids (comes down to pricing and rookies) it would likely come from the teams with the bye in the 3rd week, who are Cats, North, GWS, Melbourne, Port Adelaide and West Coast.

decisions, decisions. Lots of options and a better bye spread- particularly in the mid this year.

[kilbluff1985]

Freo have an easierish draw so I think Fyfe is locked along with Ward

Yes I made up a word

[Mr.Witt]

My original Mids were going to be something like Pendles, Fyfe, Selwood and Kennedy as my big for but im thinking of swapping Kennedy for Ward thoughts?

also will Griffen affect Ward and if so will it be for better or for worse?

[Ricochet]

Can easily see Griff freeing up Ward like he used to free up Libba.
Personally I'm locking Ward in now

[Mr.Witt]

good call Ricochet

im considering Sloane strongly and am thinking him over Ward I don't know why though  ::)

So you would take Ward over Griffen?

[kilbluff1985]

easily Ward over Griff

[Ricochet]

So you would take Ward over Griffen?

Yep I would. Sometimes its best to wait and see how new recruits settle in at new clubs.

[Noz]

They would be a few Giant boys you would have to have a serious think about next year.
