Premiums
Brett Deledio ($571,200, 117.7, 84) – next 3 opponents: Geelong, WC (home), Port.
Andrew Carrazzo ($515,500, 110.3, 72) – Essendon, Fremantle (away), GWS
Grant Birchall ($499,000, 95.7, 110) – next 3 opponents: WC (away), Sydney, St Kilda.
Midpricers
Alex Rance ($478,400, 109.3, 62) – next 3 opponents: Geelong, WC (home), Port.
Shannon Hurn ($463,000, 103.7, 56) – next 3 opponents: Hawthorn, Richmond, North Melbourne.
Greg Broughton ($472,300, 79.7, 97) – next 3 opponents: St Kilda, Carlton, GC. Must be considered since the injury to Fyfe and his improved chance of midfield time.
He hasn’t played 3 games so I haven’t considered him here but Jackson Trengove ($386,400, 99.5, 29) is also worth a look.
Value Picks
Marty Clarke ($224,700, 76, -45)
Tomas Bugg ($187,100, 79, -39)
Tim Mohr ($173,500, 62.3, 1)
(note: I’m leaving Jarryn Geary out of this list on the basis that his first 3 opponents have been Port, the GC and the Dogs – 3 teams that would probably artificially inflate your numbers).

Conca – big preseason favourite and if you took out his game 1 green vest score he would be sitting very pretty. Has a negative BE this week also.
Wouldn’t touch carrazzo or broughton but will consider all the others but not for a few weeks I’m happy sitting where I am for awhile as I’m going for league win
Carrazzo burnt me a couple of years ago. When he does tagging roles he can get very low scores
You should also factor in the bye before trading #justsayin
Cashcows in the backline have some more fattening up to do then Birchall,Fish and Carrots will slot in nicely
My priority this year is to get the Mid premiums sorted before the other lines
I like Birchall. Watched him against the Cats & he was everywhere. If he didn’t getting injured he probably would’ve had a 130pt plus game. Never had him on my radar but after that game I’m a believer…
Oops against the Crows lol
On a side note anyone considering Enright?
Will be cheap as after the next few rounds
Wrapt drummond finally played and well he was picked first 3 rounds,
lucky had no coverage with smedt/pain and sam darly anyone know if he will get a gig? I thought he was in r1 so i missed the bugg
Anyone rate Luke Shuey
Broughton? Really?
Sorry Motts I cant give Newman a run this year have you seen the hair do on the bloke? bloody ridiculous!
Welcome back Motter.
Thunder thighs has both rewarded & burnt me in the past but he looks to be going alright. Not sure whether to trust him.
Thank you to The Age for putting me onto the AFL Memes page. There are some genuinely funny photos there.

Good to see you guys back up and running, I actually did some work for a while there
with the cash from my trade of the year last week, brough >> dempsey… i could go straight from dempsey up to birch now that prices have adjusted… is his calf alright? thoughts?
What are a. Miles (GWS) prospects of playing this year? Heard he is goin to be a gun but haven’t seen him yet
any thoughts on josh drummond? has only played one game but fairly cheap and coming back from injury. At $369,400 worth a shot?
Thoughts on Jacob Surjan
Just checked the Cattery website, apparently Smedts is injuried (chest). How do you rate his chances of returning to the seniors on a regular basis? I’m facing a zero in the backline (thanks to Shaw & Lake) so I’m considering trading him for Mohr to avoid a zero. This means $5k left in the bank.
Thumb up – do it
Thumb down – don’t waste a trade.
