Depending on your drafting strategy, if you’re getting him after the third round you’re doing pretty well.Congratulation to Greg* from QLD, the Round 21 Weekly winner Greg’s team The Chosen Won had the highest score of 2583, Winning the weekly cash prize or $100I have the Early picker Assistant coach for $20 a year so i get to see all the bargains for next year and there is plenty of them i hope that helps Oskar.Does the new Don get a gig... and get in the guts?One of the few wins when positions were announced earlier this month was Devon Smith regaining FWD status.I will be monitoring his role preseason but an early no for me. DEVON SMITH | ESSENDON BOMBERS | FWD / MID | 531,300 | 97.9 avg.
Expected to play throughout the Marsh Series, we’ll be keeping a keen eye on him for role and movability. I likely will, but will be looking for further evidence through the Marsh Series and beyond, before I do.As As (thats tricky !!) An outstanding return that bettered his 94 from back in 2013 and the three previous seasons that saw averages of between 80-86.Devon Smith will among the top ranked forwards and he’ll be around about that 100 average. And the best news is you can pick up Smith for a steal in 2020. Don’t forget that Dylan Shiel wasn’t a Don for that big 2018 average.Thank you Warnie for the piece on Smith.I can’t wait until the start of the season after round 1 he disappears . When the game was in the balance on Friday night, Smith had little impact. Here are a few final notes to finish your preseason homework before the next podcast drops:The AFL Trade and Free agency period is well underway, and despite it being months before the prices and positions are revealed at The Coaches Panel we wanted to take a look at a player from each club that we have pencilled onto our 2020 watchlistThe Eagles welcomed the Bombers to Perth and to some strange weather for an entertaining pre-season clash which saw the visitors impress early and hold on for an 8 point win.
His move to the Bombers came with a midfield role, rather than the predominantly forward role with some stints in the guts that he was doing at GWS. Maybe you’ll make it past round five next year.G’day John good to see you back for another year look forward to doing battle with a Fantasy great like yourself :)Is this the year Cripps goes 110 plus?Along with outstanding tackle numbers, he recorded career high disposal numbers (avg. says, a potential keeper for $340k ?? ;)You’ve tried to use that line before, so I’ll use this one again… you would be better placed to come back here during the season. If he’s there in the fourth round, I’ll definitely jump on as even though he might be down the list for some coaches based on 2019 average, there will be plenty of savvy league members who will jump earlier than that!The big reason as to why you should pick Smith in Fantasy Classic, initially, is that the Dons have got the first bye (round 12) and with his price up there, he could be considered as an upgrade target. At least Warnie knows who you are CW, that would put you up with Selby I would think Greg. Having that upgrade target is important.
