In warm conditions, the Crows finished off their pre-season in style with a commanding win over the Eagles. With the scoreboard blown out early, the sting was gone out from the game but there was still plenty of fantasy take aways.
Played the predicted role of bouncing between half back and on ball and looked great doing it. He was seen everywhere and brought a physical game laying 5 tackles. Role and job security look strong, an easy cash cow to pick.
Elliot Yeo
Basically, swapped with Ginbey between half back and on ball and looked solid without setting the world on fire. Kicked a raking long range goal late in the game showing the strength is back in his legs. He didn’t have huge time on ground numbers, likely indicating the Eagles want him fresh and ready for round 1. Lock and load.
Liam Duggan
Played a very fantasy friendly game in the backline where there was lots of pill to be had. Took 12 marks and continued on from his high scoring finish to season 2022. Could be a nice point of difference if you’re confident the role is secure. There’s a heap of players tipped to spend time in the rebounding role, Yeo, Ginbey, Shuey, Hurn, Witherden. The ball will be down there a lot this season again for West Coast but that’s a lot of mouths to feed.
Dom Sheed
Similarly to Yeo, if you were considering him pre-match, then he did his job. He had a heap of centre bounce attendances and tried hard in a losing cause. The role is good and he’ll remain a popular mid-pricer.
Andrew Gaff
Nope. I thought he’d be an interesting watch considering how cheap he is and the Eagles need for some experienced heads. But he played on a wing and was rarely sighted.
Shannon Hurn
He just keeps on keeping on doesn’t he! Another huge game stat-wise as the Eagles backline was under assault for most of the game. 25 touches, 11 marks and 6 tackles. The guy’s a freak. Only pick him in Drafts though.
Campbell Chesser
Low time on ground but looked a likely type when he got his chance. He should be named for round 1 but will be a wait and see.
Alex Witherden
Was not used at all in the first half which was a surprise considering how strong a pre-season he has had. He racked up his 8 touches pretty quickly, joining in the backline’s attempts to control the footy. Hard to know where he fits in still.
Performed like the Laird we saw explode last year and is likely to replicate it this year. 32 touches, 10 tackles and 2 goals. He’s worth the money.
Sam Berry
Was a constant figure in the centre bounce setup for the Crows and played a terrific game, even adding a couple of goals from midfield. Still remains to be seen if he can add enough to his average this year to justify picking in classic formats, but he’s a great get in drafts.
Ben Keays
Forward status looks very likely because even though Keays was used at times in the middle, he did most of his work forward of centre, including a handy 4 goals! It’s a stacked forward line in fantasy this year and Keays may complicate things later by adding to the options.
I put these guys together because they played similar roles, rotating between a small forward role and running through the midfield. Rachele looked the better of the two on the night, and whilst there’s no interest just yet in a fantasy sense, Crows fan would be licking their lips.
Luke Pedlar
Excellent performance that has all but guaranteed a round 1 gig. He looked tough around the ball and found himself in some good spots. He won’t be a high fantasy scorer but will serve us well as an F7 or F8
Jordan Dawson
The newly appointed Adelaide skipper cruised around intercepting the ball and distributing with class. Set for another great season.
Matt Crouch
Similar to Witherden, was surprisingly not used until the last quarter despite having a strong pre-season. Collected 9 touches in just 15% game time which proves what we already knew, Crouch is a magnet when he plays. The unanswered question remains, though, does he play round 1?
Reilly O’Brien
Did what he was expected to do against such an inexperienced West Coast ruck division, but he looked great doing it. He did plenty around the ground, collecting 17 disposals and resting forward at times. Not a crazy pick at R2 this year but there are those worried about his place in the team. I don’t think that’s an issue at this stage, particularly early in the season.
Darcy Fogarty
The breakout continues as Fogarty picked up right where he left off last season in a dominant performance. Kicked 3 goals in the first quarter to effectively end the contest and finished with 4. Not a terrible late pick in drafts.
All the talk in this match will be about one man, but the reality, there’s a plethora of takeaways that the fantasy community should be getting beyond Errol Gulden. From cows to premiums and everything in between, this match will be one of the most relevant from the weekend.
45 touches! What the actual. I empathise with those who’ve been bullish on Errol Gulden all preseason. They’ve endured weeks of comments from the community that he won’t get the midfield role or have a high enough ceiling. It might be preseason, but that can’t be said now. We’ve seen Errol as one of the midfield’s primary staples for multiple weeks.
In these match reviews, people often forget about the missing players; in this clash, there was no Callum Mills. So that doe need to factor in, but it’s important to note that in the match simulation last week, Mills did play, and Errol held a similar midfield role. The role looks real, and his preseason performances now elevate him into serious consideration for our starting squads.
I wrote about him earlier in the preseason during the 50 most relevant. You can read the article & listen to the podcast here.
Matt Roberts
I was impressed with Matt Roberts. He showed his high footy IQ, and he’s got all the signs he’s yet another strong insider midfielder. But he screams vest candidate to me; I couldn’t select him with any confidence.
Luke Parker
This is what Luke Parker is. Safe & reliable. Unless he picks up DPP again, he’s unlikely to feature in too many teams outside of draft and daily fantasy. But you have to respect how consistently good he has been over his career.
Lachlan McAndrew
The fantasy community watched with great interest to see how Lachie McAndrew would go. With no Tom Hickey early in the season, coaches hoped we could’ve landed a basement price RUC/FWD at R3. While he looked good out there, he only played 38% of the game. The positive for McAndrew truthers is that Peter Ladhams didn’t look great. The Swans coaching staff will have some decisions to make ahead of round one. However, he’s no lock to miss or get named round one.
Angus Sheldrick
The club has been bullish to talk up Angus Sheldrick a lot in the preseason, but the fact he only got minimal minutes and with a few of the best 22 absent it doesn’t bode well for him getting named round one. Even if named, he’s got a coloured vest hanging around his neck.
Chad Warner
If you have been bullish on Chad Warner all preseason, nothing in this match should have changed your mind. He still has the midfield role; he got through unscathed and cruised in second gear.
I wrote about him earlier in the preseason during the 50 most relevant. You can read the article & listen to the podcast here.
With all the talk from this match about Errol Gulden, people are sleeping on one of the biggest stories of the preseason. That being that, Sam Docherty will once again be a points-scoring force. He still picked up some centre bounces but was primarily back in the role he held last year across halfback. If you choose not to start him, you’ll be either paying up to land him or hoping for an injury to come his way. He’s showing no signs of slowing down and looks like a clear topline defensive premium.
I wrote about him earlier in the preseason during the 50 most relevant. You can read the article & listen to the podcast here.
George Hewett
Twelve months ago, the community was all aboard George Hewett as one of the best midprice defenders. He became a legit premium, and only an injury impacted him doing even better. Losing defensive status has impacted his standing in the fantasy community, but it hasn’t impacted his role and scoring potential that he has.
While I’m not advocating for him as a pick in ‘classic,’ he’s still a genuine premium to pick in drafts. Every season this happens, a player loses DPP, and the community loses interest in them. If you’re lucky enough to land him on draft day, chances are you’ve got him below his market rate.
Alex Cincotta
The signing of Alex Cincotta as an SSP looks like a masterful addition to Carlton. He has settled in well to the Blues back six. His speed, clearance work, defensive pressure and vertical leap were displayed. He looks to have found the speed and tempo of AFL, and I believe he’s done enough to have won a debut in round one.
All preseason we’ve known that Blakes Acres will hold down one of the wings for Carlton. He was recruited for a purpose. But who’d get the other? Oliver Hollands has the skills, speed and smarts for this role. His connection between the other midfielders and the forward line will improve as he gets opportunities. A handful of marks and almost 20 touches means he’s shown that he more than ‘belongs’ at the level.
I’ve got him right in the mix for a round-one debut. And with Carlton playing in round one, the fantasy community will jump on him if he gets a debut. However, the need to lock away a midfield bench spot and not ‘miss a cow’ will be more of a driver rather than how good he has looked.
Lachie Cowan
Lachie Cowan is battling with Alex Cincotta to get the spot left by the injury to Zac Williams. We saw flashes of Cowan’s speed and skill. Carlton fans and the fantasy community should be excited about his potential in time. Based on this match, you’d have to say Alex has pulled ahead and should get the opportunity against the Tigers. The Blues cannot play them both unless another injury hits.
This was a crucial game for fantasy coaches. We had plenty of premiums and cash cows on show, and by the end of the game, a much clearer picture had been painted. Here’s my review of the St Kilda and Essendon practice match.
The preseason specialist. However, this felt a little different with a new coach in charge. Wood roamed the wing. Had one of the friendliest roles I can remember. Often plays a kick behind play, then pushes into the contest at a stoppage. So much to like in the hit-out. Maybe one for a sneaky late pick in a draft. Rowan Marshall – when he has the sole ruck duty, he is pure fantasy. You will be nervous after viewing this game if he isn’t in your starting plans.
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
What a silky smooth mover. Shame he is mid only. He is odds on to gain def at some stage. Makes good decisions by foot and hand. He will only improve too as the year goes on. Definitely one for keepers.
Brad Crouch
Has always been able to find the ball. His body has been an issue previously but looked super fit. Not sure he is a salary option, but he has the role and very little CBA competition outside of Steele. The new game plan will suit his style too of being an extractor.
Jack Steele
His body shape has changed this off-season. The guy still loves a hug. I haven’t been huge on Steele this year due to the change of coach and game plan. If you were big on him before this game, nothing I saw would change your mind. The fact he played was prob enough.
Jack Bytel
Unfortunately, his stocks rose in this game due to the injury to Windhager. Had a very nice role when he got on the park. Also priced ok across the formats. If Windhager is out for a while, then Bytel looks like the beneficiary. Monitor.
Mattaes Phillipou
I reckon Ross loves this kid. He is a decent size and has a few tricks. Played more fwd than mid but didn’t look out of place. The DPP also will be handy. His job security looks solid.
Hunter Clark
He has the role but doesn’t find the ball enough. Hard to gauge what to expect out of Clark this year, but will improve as the year goes on and he gets more games under his belt.
He played across half-back. The Bombers looked for him at every opportunity in this game. Questionable if he can average enough to be a top-10 defender. It’s a tough line in defence. McGrath may be a solid option moving into the year proper. He should see a bit of ball this year.
Jordan Ridley
The intercepting Jordan Ridley is back. The Bomber backs shared the ball, and Ridley looked good throughout. Another sneaky option moving into round 1 esp in SC.
Zac Merrett
Just did Zerrett things with a minimum of fuss. May have played himself into a round one tag though. Buyer beware.
He didn’t look right at all in this game. He was in the guts much, and when he was couldn’t get his hands on it at all. Saw a pic post-game of ice strapped to his calf. Too risky now to even think about starting him. Pass.
Alwyn Davey
Alwyn started as a small forward but didn’t play like a small forward. Roamed the ground and looked very, very good. Welcome to round 1 Alwyn junior, and welcome to my team.
Jye Menzie
The forward rookie with the biggest job security probably did not let us down. Didnt hit the scoreboard in this game but did enough to earn his first full game in round one. Also a sneaky on-field option proposition depending on the opposition.
Finally, the games started and we got underway with the Magpies and the Hawks. Here’s my take on the game,
Tom Mitchell
If you were keen before there’s no reason not to be now. Played midfield and found a good mix of contested and uncontested footy. Within this Collingwood game style the Titch scoring of old won’t return, but he’s clearly an important part of how the Pies midfield set up as demonstrated by his CBA numbers (19 – third highest)
Darcy Cameron
A pretty invisible game despite what the numbers suggest. A positive here is that his split of the ruck was larger than Cox this week – roughly 60/40 in his favour. From R7 2022 Cameron had 56% of the ruck share for his 92 average, so we may see a similar split in 2023, though his scoring may be affected with an added tall in McStay coming into the side. For this reason, Cameron could potentially be a sub out candidate if the Pies feel they are too tall.
Taylor Adams
Played a decent bit up forward and could be a forward DPP candidate come R6. He looks super fit at the moment and a fit Adams always has a capacity to score, but the consistency may be lacking in this role.
Jack Crisp
Looks to be purely a midfielder now. Was relevant in a Buckley era Collingwood side, but will struggle to get up amongst the top midfielders to be worth using a starting pick on. With no chance of DPP, I’d be looking elsewhere.
Jordan De Goey
Played through the midfield and despite low TOG put up some impressive numbers. Would be worth serious consideration if he still had forward status, but as a mid only you’d need to be really confident in him – and even then I think his ceiling will be capped by the current Collingwood gamestyle of move the ball forward at all costs.
Nick Daicos
Was tagged by Finn Maginness and had to get creative with how he found the footy. It was a pretty tight tag so I tend to look at the positives in that he still managed 17 disposals and a modest 58 fantasy score, and you’d think he’d be better off for the experience…perhaps it’s lit a fire in his belly for R1. Still, this could be the beginning of a trend and Sam Mitchell has put the blueprint up on the wall for all the other clubs. Aside from this concern, when he was involved in the play he looked like the same Nick Daicos many coaches grew to love last year. I wouldn’t be hitting the panic button on this one.
Jai Newcombe
This kid is going to be a star. Every chance he takes another step in his fantasy potential as it looks like he’s locked down the main mid spot in the hawthorn engine room. The best fantasy players come into the comp with an ability to tackle, then learn to hunt the footy – and I think that sums up Newcombe well. It remains to be seen if he can find the footy consistently but I think this pick screams upside – the question is how much, and is he worth picking over other players priced similarly? I’ll leave that up to you as a reader because this one needs the eye test.
Cam Mackenzie
Lock him in on field for round 1. Classy, high footy IQ and uses the ball superbly. Couldn’t have shown any more.
James Sicily
Did as Sicily does – if you were keen before then he gave you no reason not to be now. You’ll get what you pay for here, and likely find some upside in games where the Hawks are uncompetitive. A slight flag would be the share of kick ins with Bramble, but it’s impossible to answer whether this’ll happen in the season proper.
Had the mid role and worked into it as the game went on. He looked good in there but is very much a sweeper so will be reliant on getting the ball fed out to him. I don’t think hawthorns engine room will be good enough to make him a worthwhile pick, but he does represent value at his price if you were bullish.
Fergus Greene
A seriously hard working and clever player. Ironically there’s a bit of Jack Gunston about him. A mature age player that knows how to position himself and find the goals…I’d be stashing him on the bench and be confident in him ticking over the cash, albeit he may be a slower burn than some other rookies. He’ll have rock solid job security though so this shouldn’t matter too much.
Dylan Moore
Didn’t attend a single centre bounce. This man is a specialist half forward and he’s extremely good at it. Unfortunately for fantasy in a poor hawks side I don’t think it’ll translate to consistent scoring.
Fremantle and Port Adelaide battled it out at Fremantle Oval on Thursday night in conditions which had sunshine, rain, and the Fremantle Doctor pumping out some serious wind. As always, these factors need to be considered when trying to draw conclusions from players scores.
Andrew Brayshaw
Brayshaw continued where finished last season and looked phenomenal. He had a great build throughout the game and with Fremantle keeping their tight midfield mix he will continue to score. Just an outright jet of a player and certainly one to consider for your round 1 teams.
Caleb Serong
Another staple of the midfield mix, Serong was another who impressed me. However, he couldn’t find as much space as his counterpart during the game. He could be one who jumps out of the gate early with the relatively easy start the Dockers have in 2023, but the competition at his price point is there.
Sean Darcy
No Jackson, no worries. Darcy looks leaner and fitter as he worked the Port Adelaide ruckmen around the ground with 38 hit-outs. Most impressively, he had 8 tackles and 4 marks. If he continues to put up similar numbers to these with Jackson in the team, he could be a sneaky premium Ruck option.
Hayden Young
For those who were unimpressed by Young last week, the game this week didn’t do much to alleviate those concerns. Young struggled to get much ball expect for in the 3rd where he got a lot more involved. I don’t have as much concerns as others though and believe this is just a blip based on conditions, matchups, and team structure. Still one to strongly consider for starting squads.
Nat Fyfe
Fyfe played out of the goal square for the majority of the game and didn’t look out of place. He kicked a goal in each of the first three quarters and showed his aerial abilities. You could do worse for a cheap option in SuperCoach and Dream Team, but there is no midfield time there for him in 2023 unless an injury occurs to one of the core four.
Liam Henry
With wing spots vacant for Fremantle, Henry put his hand up to be in the frame for a round 1 spot. His hard work impressed me as he ran on the outside wing, dropping right back when the ball was switched. Fremantle wings have scored decently in the past so I wouldn’t be crossing his name off quite yet.
Sam Sturt
Another 200k FWD rookie who could see regular games. Sturt has only played 4 games since being picked in the 2018 draft for the Dockers, but could be a sneaky bench option for us. Worked into the game well as a hybrid forward.
Connor Rozee
High TOG, High CBAs, High Scoring. The game from Rozee is what you want to see from someone you hope to break into the top echelon of forwards in fantasy. He showed he deserves to be in the conversation with the other big forwards for 2023.
Zac Butters
Butters was one who struggled to get involved for the Power. He was thrown around the ground quite a lot and didn’t get the CBA mix that you would have hoped for if you were eager to start him. Perhaps eased into the game after his AC joint setbacks last week. He probably fits in as one to monitor as an upgrade candidate through the season.
Port Adelaide were outright bullied in the Ruck through the game and Lycett struggled to perform aside from the last quarter. One to monitor with the continued struggles we are having to pick a second ruck, but alarm bells are certainly there.
Jason Horne-Francis
Impossible to miss with his high socks, Horne-Francis was also used substantially through the Power’s midfield mix and had flashes of quality. No doubts that he will be a premium at some point in the future, but is 2023 the year that happens?
On a beautiful Thursday evening in Ipswich, the reigning premiers Geelong took on the Lions at Brighton Homes Arena. We’ve got plenty of fantasy-relevant names to discuss, so let’s check out my game review.
Everything you wanted to see from Josh Dunkley was on full display tonight. The midfield role was evident. He won centre clerances; he tackled, and when he did drift forward was involved in impacting the scoreboard and did it all without breaking out of second gear. Keep the game simple; start Dunkley. I can only foresee an injury as the reason he isn’t one of the top-scoring forwards in 2023.
Cam Rayner
The halfback role that was mooted in the preseason eventuated for Cam Rayner. His speed and class were on display. He’ll share his time through this line with Daniel Rich, Conor McKenna and Kiedean Coleman. On paper, that’s a powerful rebounding core. All can be elite with the ball by foot. The challenge is they’ll potentially clip the scoring capacity of each other and make it very hard to own any of them across all formats, not just in classic but drafts and daily fantasy.
Will Ashcroft
Is Will Ashcroft as special a talent as he’s been touted? Oh, you bet he is! This kid is going to be something special. The perfect combination of power & precision, speed and smarts. He will be an elite player in the AFL very soon. So lock him into your side. While he might not his the scoring ceiling years of Sam Walsh and Nick Daicos from their debut seasons, I wonder if he’ll be far behind.
Lachie Neale
This a perfect reminder from Lachie Neale to the SuperCoach community. Sleep on him at your peril. 31 touches, a goal, all while barely breaking a sweat. The newly crowned skipper will again lead from the front and through the midfield in 2023. He’ll cop a few tags throughout the season, but we know by season’s end, he’ll be among the top SuperCoach scorers again.
Darcy Wilmot
Darcy spent his time running across the wing, and while he didn’t get a high volume of opportunity with the ball, he did look composed and functioned well within the Lions structure. He’s no lock inside the best 22, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t named in round one.
Hugh McCluggage
On our most recent podcast, Kane articulated a point beautifully. He stated that practice games like these often suit the more outside and athletically gifted players. It’s often due to the need for more defensive pressure and intensity. So it’s no surprise that a player with Hugh McCluggae’s skill had a good game. Both teams were barely getting out of first gear.
Last week Jack Bowes was the standout that the fantasy community jumped on, and I suspect it’ll be Tanner Bruhn this week. The former Giant had plenty of midfield opportunities and looked composed with the ball. I’m not convinced he’ll get the volume of midfield opportunities in the season proper when they have their full complement of midfielders available. But he’s a decent late-round selection within your drafts.
Esava Ratugolea
I liked the look of Esava Ratugolea. He held the key position spot in the backline well but didn’t just look to defend. Instead, he used his athleticism and strength to impose himself on every opportunity to intercept he could. It’s worth noting that in this match, Sam DeKoning did play predominantly as a key position forward in the second half. I would’ve loved to see how the Cats and Stewart would use these two in the backline for a match. Regardless, it looks probable the Cats will give him a go in round one, and for DreamTeam and SuperCoach, his RUC/FWD status will make him a viable option for us. Copped a decent knock to the head the cut him open, so did spend plenty of time off the field in the third term.
Tom Stewart
Can I cntrl C & cntrl V the sentiments from Lachie Neale and place them here for Tom Stewart? He was exactly what we have known and loved about him over his career. He found space to chop off the lions movements inside forward 50. He intercepted beautifully and was ever-reliable with the ball in hand. Over the season, he will have multiple 150+ scores, but that’s not in doubt. The question coaches will continue to process is whether I should start him or make room for him as an upgrade.
As Tanner listed above, I liked the look of Max Holmes. You can see why the Cats rate him so highly internally. He’s a clever footballer who makes good decisions consistently. I’d be looking at him if he retained MID/FWD DPP this season. But with the volume of strong other stepping-stone midfielders, he looks destined to be a daily fantasy and draft pick.
For one last time in 2023, we get a ‘free look’ at our players before the commencement of round one. So we asked the panel to pick one player per side they’ve got on their watchlist and why they are heading into this weekend of games.
Rids: It is a real shame Wayne Milera is missing this game. Another week to get your eyes on Sam Berry and to see if he is hunting the ball and not just the man. If shows the potential to increase his possession count to 25-30 then a break out 3 figure avg is on the cards for 2023.
MJ: A strong showing inside the forward half from Luke Pedlar against the Eagles should be enough to book his ticket in the round one side. The club has continually sung his praise throughout the offseason. His weapons are his power, speed and lethal left foot. If he can push up the ground, we can expect a 55+ average.
MiniMonk: The name on everyone’s tongue after their match simulation last week was Sam Berry. At the price bracket where quite a few players are in contention for a spot in our starting teams, can Berry show that he has a lock on that midfield spot and have the ability to push into the top echelon of players for us?
Rids: Can he win a wing spot for round 1? Darcy Wilmot gets the opportunity this week to argue his rd 1 case. Definitely feels a spot in the Lions best 22 is up for grabs with a good performance.
MJ: When Darcy Wilmot debuted during the 2022 AFL finals series, fantasy coaches nationwide opened their little black book and put his name in. The Brisbane speedster looked at home at the elite level, scoring 51, 62 & 52 in AFLFantasy/DreamTeam and 52, 61 & 73 for SuperCoach. It’s not monster scoring, but enough for a basement-level defender cash cow. Another strong showing will all but lock him into the Lions round-one side and be a fieldable defender for us across all formats.
MiniMonk: Darcy Wilmont and Connor McKenna. Can these two coexist or are we going to be burnt by one or the other. The combination of the two will dictate our backline structures come round 1 and so all eyes will be on them.
Rids: Mature aged Alex Cincotta will have approx 200,000 eyes on him this week. Another good performance will have him in a prime position to be the Zac Williams replacement for rd 1.
MJ: Sam Docherty. Spent some time last week through the midfield and back in the defensive half. I’m very bullish on him this year, but keen to see what his split is between those spots on the ground.
MiniMonk: Adam Cerra is someone who went under the radar from his practice game last week. Coming in at a discount due to injury and with Sam Walsh potentially out for an extended period, Cerra could be a play to generate cash quickly with the potential to end up a keeper.
Rids: This is simple. The fantasy world wants a significant CBA for Tom Mitchell. Forget his score in this game. A 50% or greater CBA would give his fans a great boost of confidence that he will score enough to stay the season.
MJ: The heavy forward role last week for Darcy Cameron wasn’t a surprise for me. He’s had an interrupted preseason, so I wasn’t shocked to see him getting eased through his workload. With that being said, if I see an equal split this week, I’ll fade any consideration of him being an R2 in my starting squads.
MiniMonk: Nick Daicos was pushed through the midfield for the Pies during their game last week. Will their CBA mix continue to be varied or will he and Tom Mitchell cement places in their core mix for round 1.
Rids: Brad Scott will be in the gun this week. After a couple of years of being over-coached, will Scott let his new team play footy on instinct. If he does, guys like Darcy Parish and Zach Merrett may be amazing PODs.
MJ: With one more strong showing from Jye Menzie & he’ll lock himself into the Essendon round one team—any forward cash cow consideration to factor into our structure.
MiniMonk: Darcy Parish impressed last week and has proven his ability to be a top line player across the formats. If he has shrugged off all the niggles of 2022 then he has the potential to reclaim that position and be an outright premium in 2023. The game style of the Bombers is one to watch though.
Rids: Not just one name in this one. More the whole midfield as 1. How do Fremantle split the mid time for Brayshaw, Serong, JOM, Brodie and co? Will be awesome to get some real data around this leading into rd 1.
MJ: I’d love for Matt Johnson to have a blinder. We could do with some more basement-priced midfield cash cows. I don’t see him fitting into centre bounces, but If he can get into the wing rotation group and get himself around the ball, it might be enough for us to consider him if named.
MiniMonk: No Luke Ryan makes it hard to know how much we will be able to read into it but Hayden Young is someone I want to watch again. He didn’t have a great game against the Crows, but there is still time for him to prove to many that he deserves to be in their round 1 teams.
Rids: What a shame there is no Bowes…. lucky for us however we do get to see the big fella Esava at full back one more time. While he feels very SC, he may become a pivot type in the other formats too. Time to find out why Port wanted him so bad yet Geelong held strong.
MJ: Is it as simple as Joel Selwood out and Max Holmes in from the Grand Final side? I’m not considering Max for ‘Classic’, but he could be a ripper draft pick late if he’s picking up those midfield minutes.
MiniMonk: The spot that would’ve gone to Jack Bowes if he was named. Unfortunately, we have Chris Scott doing Chris Scott things. Instead, Esava Rategoulea is the one we should be monitoring. With a handy R/F DPP and a cheap price, he could be a sneaky option for the in-tune coaches.
Rids: Hoping Tom Green plays forward pocket and struggles to get a kick. Way too much hype on him after playing nobody a week ago. If the hype continues I will be fading him as a starter…. nah not really but maybe.
MJ: Josh Kelly! There I said it. In all honesty, I want to see how this midfield mix works. I’m confident about Green being the centrepiece, but I’m fascinated to see what happens around him unfold. Josh could still sit in my side if I see the right role and game style.
MiniMonk: 50-Touch Tom Green (citation needed). Can he replicate his efforts in his intra-club? Even 60% of that might be enough for him to cement a slot for many. The youngster oozes class and will be a fun watch even if he doesn’t make it in in the end.
Rids:Matt Rowell was the talk of the town 12 months ago yet he has got through preseason without any mention of his name and looked amazing last week. Of course many will be looking elsewhere but feel most are sleeping on this future gun.
MJ: Everything Charlie Constable did last week made it supremely clear that Gold Coast want to get the ball into his hands as much as possible. Should that unfold again against the Giants and lock many others, I’ll be locking him into my starting squad.
MiniMonk: Charlie Constable displayed class for the Suns off half back last week and with their injuries, should he cement a round one spot, he will be a popular pick. Just how much ball can he get?
Rids: All eyes will be on a number of rookies in this game but the rookie that everyone will be keen to see if Cam MacKenzie. Has had a huge preseason from all reports and a solid performance will not only lock him into a rd 1 debut, but also for our fantasy teams.
MJ: What are the Hawks doing in the ruck division? Will it be a combination of two rucks rotating through? Or will one of Ned Reeves or Lloyd Meek win and hold down the #1. We’ll get a good idea when they play the Magpies.
MiniMonk: Will Day was touted for midfield time earlier in the preseason and then had some last week. Can it continue? And if so, how much can he score? An interesting watch for many who are looking for value down back.
Rids: Another team I dont really need to see this week. The vanilla option then is the Grundy Gawn mix but I really dont care what it looks like as I wont go near either this year unless the other guy has an injury. So I will say Pickett and to see if he gets more CBAs again. He might be SC relevant if it is real!
MJ: On SEN in Melbourne, Christian Petracca hinted that we could see some changes to the midfield make-up. He alluded that he and Clayton Oliver might spend more time outside the midfield! That caught my eye, and I’m curious how they might manifest this weekend: no panic stations, but something to watch.
MiniMonk: Angus Brayshaw because the seagull down back, getting involved in everything for the Demons. The concerns that he has to be in the midfield to have value may be alleviated if he shows the same desire for the ball a second week in a row.
Rids: The most intriguing team for me this preseason. Where do I start? Goater – does he continue the half back role? Powell – looks a million dollars. Just want to see him playing inside more with a full mid contingent. Xerri – is he first choice now? Feels a bit smelly with the Goldysaurus still hanging around. Comben – does the fwd cow ghost of years gone by ready to make an appearance rd 1? Powell – just get thru the game in one piece pls.
MJ: I can’t wait to see Ben Cunnington back towards his best. All reports are he’s been a beast all preseason an d is expected to get back to his inside midfield role. If the midfield load favours him, he’s still a very viable play, especially in SuperCoach.
MiniMonk: The competition for that value midfield spot is getting hot, and Luke Davies-Uniacke is one who is still in the mind for many coaches. Dominant against Richmond last week, can he back it up and become the contested bull that both North supporters and fantasy coaches want him to be?
Rids: Many in the community wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the dynamic duo – Zak Butters and Connor Rozee. What is the mid split between these 2? Who pushes forward more? Kenny will be fighting for his footy life this year so will want to nail the official preseason game. This stinks dress rehearsal for rd 1.
MJ: The spot looks like it’s his to lose. But I’d love to see Scott Lycett remove all doubt and show me that he’s the #1 ruck for the club.
MiniMonk:Zak Butters missed the match simulation for the Power last week and so we didn’t get to see how he fit into their CBA mix. Will his addition this week affect the time in the middle for the likes of Connor Rozee and Jason Horne-Francis?
Rids: We get another oportunity to give new recruits Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper an eye test. Both look fit and have settled into their new club well. But will they have the required fantasy output in the not so fantasy friendly game plan of the Tigers?
MJ: Jayden Short. There was some anticipation from the fantasy community that’d he be moving back to the defensive line and becoming a DPP consideration during the season. But so far, he seems to be an established part of this redeveloped midfield alongside Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper. I’ll fade Short down my draft board if that’s on display again.
MiniMonk:Tim Taranto was everywhere for the Tigers, being in their CBA mix and pushing forward to get goals. The premium forward mix is tricky with coaches looking for any reason to disregard one of the big four. The slightest hiccup from Taranto could be enough for some to fade him.
Rids: Something has to give for season 2023. New coach. New rumoured game plan. But the real focus will be on the returning Nick Coffield. The former first round draft pick is exactly what the Saints have been missing across half back. Looming as a possible mid price defender that could generate loads of cash if his role is friendly. This weekend should be a good indication of what to expect for rd 1 and 2023.
MJ: Draft Watch! Marcus Windhager. As a forward-listed option that could be playing a defensive-minded midfield role, he could provide value late. Especially important given how thin the forward stocks are this year.
MiniMonk: Rowan Marshall was dominant with Tom Campbell not present. Can he continue that role if he is there? Or can he show to Ross Lyon that he doesn’t need any backup and give coaches full confidence to jump into him?
Rids: Third year break out you say? Why not!!! And what a cool name at the same time. Could the big 4 dogs of our forward lines have a sneaky 5th? Errol Gulden will get his chance to impress this week. Watch the CBAs and not the score people! Role is king for Gulden this week.
MJ: I’m not as turned off by the forward time role that Callum Mills had last week in the practice matches. I think there’s only one positional role that Callum could play, which means his fantasy output is negatively affected by—the wing. Based on the Swans game style, he can score as a topline premium even if he’s being rotated through the HF line. I’ll be watching what the Swans do on the wings. I’m tempted to take the plunge and ‘gamble’ on Mills.
MiniMonk: Errol Gulden was not one I expected to get a huge midfield share this early on but he showed his class when he was pushed through there. Is Horse playing games with fantasy coaches again like he did with Heeney last year or can he take the next step for coaches?
Rids: All about 2 things here. Which rookie impresses for rd 1? Is it Chesser on a wing? Where does Gingey play? Aside from that it would also be awesome to see Sheed in an inside mid role before rd 1.
MJ: I’ll keep this simple. If Elliot Yeo gets through the game and pulls up well in recovery, then he’s locked away in my side across the formats.
MiniMonk: Reuben Ginbey missed last week’s match simulation with an injured toe. Their preseason game this week is his chance to cement his round 1 spot for the Eagles. This is the first (and last) chance for many of us to get a look at him prior to then, so all eyes on this rookie on Friday night.
Rids: I dont care what the Dogs do in this game. Bevo will continue to do Bevo things. I am going to my keeper team though to get a look at Ed Richards and the role he has. I am hoping that Daniel into the mids is real and this allows Richards to form a working half-back relationship with Dale.
MJ: One of my favourite players to watch and own is Bailey Smith. He’s in the mix for me in AFLFantasy & DreamTeam. If his role is split again between the centre bounces and half-forward, that might be enough to make me start him.
MiniMonk: Bailey Smith, Marcus Bontempelli, and Jackson Macrae are all premium midfield options from the Bulldogs for us after the departure of Josh Dunkley. Who will get the increased share, increase in scoring, and push for starting squad selections for us?
The 2023 Preseason is reaching its peak, and before we know it, the teams will be named, the ball will bounce, and with that, the season has begun! All your thoughts, research, conversations and team tampering have all been locked away, and the stage is now set.
The weight of the 30 locked-in decisions we make this week plays heavy on the coaches’ minds, so what should we be looking for? Am I jumping at shadows? Is this the correct structure for my unique side? These questions arise, but I would like to flip the script on this. Instead of asking questions that raise doubt, let’s make decisions with confidence!
A good place to start is to ask what you’re looking for, and the reasoning behind it. Sounds simple enough, and in principle, it is. Coaches over the years destroy their teams, all their research and planning gone because player “x” scored well in a practice game.
To avoid these mistakes, I make a watchlist of names, players I’m interested in, premiums, breakout contenders, rookies, and everyone I’m keen on. Then I write down why I’m interested and following that, I write what I need to see to lock him in.
For example:
Zac Butters,
Why select him: 2 scores over 120 with 52% cbas. 5 scores under 70 from 26% cbas. Avg 107 in last 5. The outcome for port didn’t seem to have relevance on him, he plays well regardless.
What I want to see: 50% cbas in a practice game.
I don’t care what butters scores in a practice game. The numbers speak for themselves if he has a spot in the midfield for port. This is a subjective list, unique to each individual. it’s what you need to see. You may just need to see someone start in the first Centre bounce, play the full game for fitness. Take kick outs. What do you need to see, what do they need to show you for the to be selected in your side?
Self-Awareness
The term floating around atm is “Groupthink”. Everyone’s team is considered “Vanilla”. This is a small point but I believe it is important, watch the games yourself and have your own thoughts and ideas. When you watch the game look at the list you made and what you wanted to see, see which players were missing, who was injured. Ask yourself why did Sam Flanders score 130 in the practice game? Was Touk miller playing? Why did Flanders have so many Cbas?
To add to this point we have Facebook Groups, discord servers and all sorts of discussion platforms available to us. What I find amazing is there are so many people asking for advice on a full 30-man squad from people you don’t know. How do you know what they are talking about? Is it your team, or their team? Start discussions about 1-2 players sure, create the conversation about structures etc., but be careful who you take your advice from.
The inside Voice
Now more than ever, there is content everywhere, everyone has a voice, everyone has an opinion on a player, a team, a structure. We are all experts this year because no one is right or wrong. It’s a prediction and a discussion. The fantasy community is great, the content is elite and the information comes in quick.
What needs to be said about this is you need to have your own thoughts first and have someone confirm them, or bring awareness to something you haven’t considered. This Blends into the previous point, but you need to back in your thoughts, what you have seen with your eyes and the research you have done.
For example, you could be hot on Tom Green, obvious breakout candidate, but have you considered the possibility that he only gets to 100 avg? his marks don’t actually improve? The game style implemented by Kingsley has an adverse effect of his scoring? These may be things you haven’t considered. Take a step back and re-assess. If Tom Green averages 100, that could be all we need, anything more is a bonus. Make your own decisions first about what you believe can happen and reconsider when news becomes available.
Ultimately, it’s your team, back yourself in Coach!
The Leadup to the first Bounce
You have done all the hard work, all the information gathering, the hours and hours of podcasts you’ve listened to and now it’s time to choose. To help you do that, list each player individually. Look at their priced at figure. Can they improve on this? Or am I following the crowd? Is there a better value option? Do they have a good run to start the season? Conversely, do they have a tough run? Be honest, you should have a reason, if anyone was to ask you, why you selected a player. Don’t select them because they’re 40% owned and you’re afraid to go against it.
There’s a way to differentiate your team, and sometimes that is by fading the popular guys. Every player you select, should be because of a reason you have come up with. “Oh, he’s my breakout guy”. “Oh him, he’s my captain option”. “He’s my favorite player to watch”. What is the narrative and reasoning behind your selection?
Enjoy The Game
There’s a reason we love and hate this game at times, and we always come back for more each year. We love footy. It is a game at the end of the day, maybe you’re a bit more of a fanatic or maybe you’re just trying to win your leagues. We all have Goals in this game, I hope you’re able to achieve them! Ultimately this is a game, meant for fun and enjoyment around a game we all love. Back yourself in, select the players you want, for the reasons you have decided. Back yourself in and Enjoy the Ride.
Have you spent months agonising over your starting squad? Has your team seen hundreds of changes and iterations of it’s structure? As we near round one, the focus must evolve from just the starting squad to what happens in your team post-round one. And for that reason, you need a parachute plan.
What’s a parachute plan? In essence, it’s the contingency plan for a player in your team. A contingency plan is important for any fantasy football side. It creates an outline of steps and actions to be taken if an unexpected incident or situation arises that impacts your team.
A parachute plan can minimize the impact of unexpected events and ensure your team can operate and stay on track. It can also help reduce the amount of trading & time spent on recovery efforts for your team.
People learnt the importance of a contingency plan twelve months ago if they had Wayne Milera in their starting squad. Wayne was a popular stepping stone in our defence, but after his game in round one, it was clear to the Crows that he wasn’t match fit. As a result, he was forced to do a preseason during the season and was seen again in round 11.
What it meant for fantasy coaches was a significant challenge to team structures. Some went down to a defensive cow, while others chose to use it to make additional correctional trades, place some money on top of Milera, and get in another option like George Hewett, who did ‘pop’ in round one.
The point differed from what they did, but people who succeeded had a plan and enacted it. Have you ever heard of If This Then That? In short, it is an automation tool that enables users to create simple conditional statements that trigger an action in response to a specific event or trigger. Successful coaches have a ‘parachute’ attached to almost every player. They have an ‘IFTT’ approach.
Let’s focus on 2023; what are the players you’ve got on your side with an element of known risk to them? Is it a stepping stone like Jack Bowes? What happens if he doesn’t get named round one? He was excellent in a match simulation, but the Geelong best 22 is tough to crack. Head Coach Chris Scott said recently on SEN that ‘he was super early in the game. He looks like he’s adjusted well to how we like to play.’ But, he said, ‘While we’ll work hard to give them (he was discussing Bowes, Bruhn & Henry) opportunity, as we will for a range of guys who were just outside our 22 at the end of last year, there are still no guarantees.”
So again, I ask, what’s your parachute plan? Having to make a structure and an unplanned adjustment on the Thursday night of round one is not ideal. Have your contingency now, so you’re not left scrambling and making a rushed or rash decision under pressure.
A ‘parachute plan’ isn’t just needed before the season commences, but it’s something that’s required once the year commences. For example, let’s highlight a potential breakout like Chad Warner. What’s your plan if he comes out and delivers back-to-back scores of 90? Your paying for him to be a 100-110 range midfielder that elevates himself to premium status? What’s your parachute plan? The beauty of the plan is that you don’t have to know who he’ll become; rather, it’s about knowing what levers you can pull should a player selection not work out. Those levers could be a trade boost, jumping on another ‘breakout premium candidate’ that’s firing or even a potential structure change.
So much time and energy is spent on nailing your starting squads, but as important as that is, it’s not the most important player selection you’ll make. Success in this game is about the moves you make in the season that matter. Ask any person that’s won either DreamTeam, SuperCoach or AFLFantasy they’ll all tell you a similar thing that their starting squad could have been better. But when they saw changes that needed to be made, they didn’t hesitate. So the most important moves you make all year are your trades once the season starts. So have a plan and structure, but know what your parachute moves are should what your aim for doesn’t work out.
As we enter a new AFL season, existing keeper league coaches are entrenched in list management decisions. The trade decisions and delisting discussions have kept coaches busy over the summer. However, some keeper leagues are a brand new and exciting format of fantasy footy, and coaches have some significant decisions with the coveted first pick in the draft. Do they draft who’s dominating now? Invest in some potential future stars? Or somewhere in between? Drafting philosophies of keepers is something we’ll unpack over the preseason. But for now, here are the players I believe are in the mix for the number one pick for a brand-new keeper league.
Sam Walsh is a genuine candidate for pick-one in a keeper league, even with off-season back surgery. The positive is that you will no longer have to pay the price for him there. Why? Simple, because you’re not just picking him for the 2023 season in isolation.
Over his first four seasons of AFL, he’s missed just two matches but has delivered seasonal averages of 92.3, 96.6 (adjusted), 108.9 & 103.3. To have achieved it before he was 23 is absurd. Walsh might never make it to the territory of the 115+ seasonal average, but he’s one of the safest 105 midfielders for the next eight seasons.
Had Walsh not had a stalled preseason and potentially missed the first few rounds of the season due to an injury, he’d be locked for a top-three selection. The upside here is people might be able to get him in the second round if people baulk at the few games he’ll miss.
From the moment we saw Nick Daicos play at the elite level, we knew that the scoring capacity we’d seen junior level would eventually translate into AFL.
Last year he scored seven tons, three of them over 115, including his career-high 147 against the Crows. To go with those tons was five additional 80+. On top of these, he had six more scores over 80. Often first-year players see a scoring slide as the season goes along. However, that wasn’t the case for Daicos. In his first eleven games, he averaged 80 & in his final eleven games, he averaged 93.6.
Eventually, Nick will move into the midfield. But I expect his movement to be more gradual this year. The arrival of Tom Mitchell adds further depth to that midfield. Daicos became the general of that backline alongside Darcy Moore. For what the Pies might gain in the midfield by moving him up the ground more, they could lose just as much in their ball movement rebounding out of defence.
Regardless, his proven scoring output, elite junior numbers, and age make him a highly valuable acquisition for keepers.
Clayton Oliver might never have a season where he’s the highest-averaging player in keepers. But that’s not why he should be in contention for the #1 pick. Instead, it’s his durability and consistency that make him so appealing.
Last year he scored a ton in 81% of matches. That’s seventeen triple-digit games, with seven ticking over the 120 markers. It included 136, 139, 146 & 151. Alongside this, he had two additional scores over 90, and just once all year did his scoring drop below 80 (68.) His average of 112.5 was the second highest in the format, with only Rory Laird going higher, and he finished seventh for total points. He was only 110 points from coming first. Had he played every game and scored an average, you’d be talking about Oliver holding the #1 points mantle.
Unbelievably he’s still only 25, so while he might not be the youngest on this list, he’s still got plenty of premier scoring over the next 5-6 seasons. After six consecutive seasons of averaging 100+ and coming off a career season, you’ll feel safe as houses if you land Clarry.
The love for Andy Brayshaw in keeper leagues is obvious. This kid is already a star and arguably will only get better. He scored thirteen tons across the 2022 season; nine went over 120, and six were above 130. It featured 141, 144 & 181 as his three highest scores. Alongside this high volume and frequency of tons was a further four scores between 90-99, and his scoring dipped below 80 in just two matches all year. By the year’s conclusion, he had the third-highest average going at 112.3, and was ranked number one for points! A superb achievement.
2022 isn’t just an isolated one good season, he’s been building his scoring over the past three seasons, and in 2021 he gave you his first season where he averaged 100+ across all formats. During the 2021 season, he scored thirteen tons; five were above 120 and two higher than 135, including his best of 156. In addition, he had three more scores between 90-99. That’s 80% of his 90 or above scores last year. From a scoring basement, he had three scores under 70. All of these were when he copped a heavy tag. Closing out the season, he averaged 104.2
What makes Brayshaw such a good player is he scores in every column. He’s not dependent on just possessions or tackles to score well. Additionally, he has an elite workrate and endurance. This combination ensures he’s always in the game, even when the tags come. By the end of 2023, he’ll still be 23 and has eight years of topline performances. You can’t go wrong picking Brayshaw.
Bailey Smith flew out of the blocks for keeper coaches last season with a 154 against the reigning premiers, Melbourne. By the time the 2022 season was done, he’d scored eleven tons from sixteen matches, including 131, 147 & the already mentioned 154. He also had two additional scores of 90+ and only fell under the 90 mark in just three games. In 81% of games last year, he scored 92 or above.
It was what he did between rounds 1-10, where he averaged 118.4, that has keeper coaches the most excited. At just 22 with scoring potential like that, he’s already got the capacity to be one of the best premium picks in the game. Throw in that he’s got the opportunity to take on a greater inside midfielder role with the departure of Josh Dunkley, and it’s seemingly all upside.
Last year Bailey gained forward status, and if you played using AFLFantasy or Sportdeck as your drafting platform, you got an absolute bonus getting a guy with top-eight midfield potential. You might get lucky and see it again in 2023 or another year.
Not many players have the proven scoring of being able to go back to back in averaging 110 or higher. Callum Mills is one of those players. At 25 years of age
Last year he was exceptional. His average of 111 was the fourth highest in the format. Higher than Touk Miller, Jack Steele and Zach Merrett. While he ranked second overall for total points. He was a mere 30 points off dethroning Andrew Brayshaw. He scored fourteen tons over the season, seven over 120, five over 130 and his two top scores of the season were 156 & 162. Alongside this elite, scoring was a phenomenal basement with just three scores under 80 all season and just one under 75.
This was done coming off the back of 2021, where he also averaged over 110. if he can hold his role as a primary centre-bounce midfielder, then Mills has shown the scoring potential to be the best player in the game.
One of the key things I always look for when picking early in keeper leagues isn’t just for players with a high ceiling or a low-scoring floor. I am looking for someone who has the capacity for both. This is the appeal with Jack Steele. Jack isn’t dependent on a high volume of possessions or even marks to score well. Instead, his reliable basement of tackles provides the framework for his strong weekly scores.
Despite an injury setback last year, Steele’s overall season performance was still strong. He scored fourteen tons four his eighteen games. That was a ton in 77.7% of matches last year. Additionally, he delivered five scores over 120, including 121, 124, 130, 139 & 154. Alongside these tons were two additional scores of 90+, and in just two matches, did his scoring fails to get above that 90 marker. He finished the season with an average of 110.4, leaving him ranked as the fifth-best player in the game.
It’s more of a ‘now’ play, given Steele is 27 years old, but remember, a premiership in the first two seasons of a keeper league still counts. Don’t get so infatuated with ‘future’ success when you can still have it now.
In the vein of Steele above, the selection of Touk Miller with your first pick is placing your keeper side with the focus of being in premiership contention from the leagues commencement.
In 2022 he averaged 109.8, comprising fifteen tons and nine scores over 120. They include 132, 133, 134, 140 & 147. Alongside this are three additional scores of 90+, and only once last season did he drop his scoring below 80. As a result, he ended the season with the seventh-best average in the entire format. And speaking of ending the season over the final ten games, he went at an average of 112.
In 2021, the potential of Touk was fulfilled. He ranked first by average in AFLFantasy/DreamTeam and third for total points. Good for a guy that missed a match. He scored seventeen tons; thirteen were above 120, while a monster six were over 140. His season in SuperCoach was arguably even better. He scored eighteen tons from his twenty-one matches; an insane thirteen were above 120, ten over 130 and seven scores of 140+. He was one of the most dependable VC/C options in 2021. He had sixteen consecutive tons to end the year and was ranked sixth for total points.
If you believe Touk will score closer to what he did in 2021 and the back half of 2022, then he needs to be in consideration for the top pick of a keeper league. If you think he’ll hold his scoring, let alone regress, he’s someone to look at either later in the first round or hope he gets back to you on the turn.
Josh Dunkley
Only two players in this top ten list have position eligibility other than an exclusive midfield. One is Nick Daicos, and the other is Josh Dunkley. Throughout the preseason, I’ve advocated for Dunks to be the #1 guy picked in seasonal drafts. However, given his MID/FWD status will only last for this year, I can understand the sentiment behind picking him at one for a keeper league.
Last season he scored eighteen tons. That’s four games all year that he didn’t hit triple digits. Six of those tons were 120 or higher, including five over 130. He had just two scores below 80 all year on his way to averaging 108.7. He ranked eighth for averages and sixth for points
Josh should get a 65% MID-FWD, but he doesn’t have to be that high to be a top score. What’s great about Dunkley is he can skip bulk CBAs to score well anyway. For example, in round seven against Essendon last year, he attended only 23% of centre bounces but still posted a 130+ score across the formats. Two weeks later, he scored over 110 with just 24% CBAs, and a further two weeks beyond that, he scored over 135 and attended just 32% of centre bounces.
Choosing Dunkley is a ‘now’ pick, not because of his age, but because you’re valuing his positional allocation that might not be there in coming seasons.
