in saying that 25points at 177k will still give you 50k in 6weeks. and you might get lucky with some tries/tbs pushing towards 100k gains before gray comes back

If the draft has B/L and Mearcats in it then the answer is 2 months.

Meanwhile Sezer scored at his absolute floor last year, has previously been proven to go 45-50, and even if he has a career low year again will add goalkicking points, certainly for the first month and, given Croker will be coming back from a leg injury, possibly beyond. Croker got 8.5 points a game from goalkicking last year, Sezer is just as good from the tee, and even if he only gets those points it's a chunky guaranteed price rise as opposed to the speculative rises you'll get from Lamb.

Y'know I've been considering this lately and I know it's going to be my yearly dilemma where I'm probably going to pick the wrong option to start the year and kick myself for it. 2014 I chose Brenton Lawrence instead of Jesse Bromwich, 2016 I chose Aaron Woods over James Graham.  
Sezer seems logically like a better scorer but I don't know I've had Lamb in my team from Day 1 and it doesn't feel right to swap now. I mean if Sezer kicks on I'll be annoyed but same thing will happen if Lamb performs as I expect him to.

Hmmm, ive heard of these off season rehab/training camps in Thailand. Seems to have worked wonders for all attendees.

In the absence of others I'm going to go with this, I think Smith and ted are priced accurately and so is guth imo unless he gets gk then say + 6 = 40 and i'll say 55 for Mcinnes and 60 for surgess. so:

A. Smith 133, guth 40, surgess 60 = 233
B. Mcinness 55, ted 51, surgess 120 = 226

Personally though I don't get the guth pick. Is there news on GK? last I heard it was just as likely to be Norman?

I would be more likely to expect 60 from McInnes and 55 from Surgess

Yeah well I dropped Mcinnes and have surgess, so I like my numbers better! Where's Welshy when you need him?
