Premiums
Stewart Crameri ($507,400, 112.75, 47) – Pop quiz. Which Forward has the highest average from the last 3 games? If you answered Scrameri with 123.33 then you’re a massive footy stats nerd that doesn’t need to be reading my silly articles.
Jordan Lewis ($516,900, 105.25, 87) – Love this guy. Tough as nails, goes in hard and gets it and a M/F DPP to boot. Threw him into my DT at the start of the year. Now I wish I’d started with him instead of Fyfe in my SC team.
Midpricers
Luke Dahlhaus ($425,500, 108.75, 21) – Very quickly moving from “cult figure at the Dogs” to “fan favourite”.
Steele Sidebottom ($475,900, 98.75, 73) – Those who chose him over Dusty at the beginning of the year would be almost dislocating a shoulder they’d be patting themselves on the back so hard. M/F DPP.
Mitch Robinson ($480,500, 88.25, 84) – Last 3 round average: 99.67. Enthusiastic, tough, never thinks about his own safety. Think: Jordan Lewis with youthful exuberance. M/F DPP.
Jarrad Waite ($476,700, 101.25, 83) – Waite’s a terrific player but misses too many games either through injury or from doing silly stuff. Remember the donkey kick last year? If he plays all 23 games this year he’ll be first picked for me next year.
Value Picks
Aaron Hall ($177,500, 53.25, -20) – hasn’t been setting the world on fire with his scores but getting played and has a super-low BE.
Adam Tomlinson ($180,900, 50, 4) – D/F DPP
Alwyn Davey ($305,700, 83.5, 19) – on the bubble this week.
Keep an eye on Aaron Cornelius ($262,900) this week – 90 in this first game.

Any thoughts on Chappy? I know he has a pretty high BE but after an interupped preseason he looks like he is moving better and starting to find the ball.

I like Chappy and he is in my team. I think he will be top 10 forwards by the end of the year.

I really like the look of Sidebottom and Lewis this year. After looking for Fyfe trades all last week, (and hopefully now it won’t matter) there’s a real lack of reliable forwards this year and I think these two are money in the bank.

Hi Motts, I need a lot of help this week, I’m playing a person who is really good and chosen the people like Luke Parker and Rory Sloane who I am nervous about. Should I keep Gary Ablett? Get rid of Dempsey? Please Motts I need some help this week.
Cheers, Zacca

If all you want to do is win this week without having the final goal in mind then yep make 2 trades. Trade Ablett for Matthew Boyd and make him captain. And yep trade Dempsey for whoever you can get. I like Marty Clarke and Tomas Bugg in terms of bang for buck.

Hey matee, looks like you’re in a bit of strife this week. Not to worry though these sort of things when you have been in the fantasy football industry for 48 years. I would get rid of Dempsey though, he is just too injury prone.

G’day Motts, love your work! Play someone called Offending Champs this week, what do you think, i have seen dempsey isn’t named, should i get him out for Marty Clarke? what do you think. Also considering Goodes for Zaharakis?

Sit tight this week. The value arrives next week when Pendles drops again and your rookies have added another 50-60k each. I know your pain – I’m in the same position. You may cop a loss this week but think about the end game.

Thoughts on Lewis vs Roughhead as a non-Buddy, non-Delicious Hawks forward?
Had Roughy pegged to come in now he’s back playing ruck and around the ground, but Lewis has me second-guessing that call…

if you didnt trade him out last week then definitely keep.
if he was going to have surgery then you can assume that would have happened during the week last week.
ergo, he is gooing to play through the shoulder injury and will play this week i suppose. just as he did last year
