    His debut against Geelong was very impressive last year, for memory I think he had 20+ disposals. But at 300k is he really worth it?

    Nope. Still rookie-listed also. Nothing to see here, move along please.

    "Essendon has placed duo Scott Gumbleton and Brent Prismall on the club’s long-term injury list." I think this means Brendan Lee or Dell'olio are a good thing for round 1. Monitor NAB.

    Everyone is Hornsy, the thing is it's interesting that only Collingwood seem to be having big injuries.

    I suggest it's all about selling papers and the Pies will be very close to full strength come round 1.

    Were you not reading the articles about Morris and Djerrkura's recent injuries then Lucas? Methinks your Collingwood bias is showing through somewhat.

    Sorry if this has already been discussed, but what are peoples thoughts on Brad Dick?

    I realise that he is going to dislocate both his shoulders at least twice this season, but at $119k he will rocket up in price if he plays with any of his former form.

    jprock - simply put Dick is a big risk to play. Maybe a decent return (could get into the 330s easily) but I'd suggest Josh Hill is a more likely WCE starter.

    Also given the ACL Dick did last season, he might be a late starter so possibly a downgrade option anyway.

    Agree with Lucas, I remember reading he was aiming for a round 6 start...not sure if that has been updated recently, that was before christmas.

    Swalloitdown - Agree about Dell'olio He looked really good up forward last night for the dons, one of the only shining lights. It will be interesting to see how he goes in the next 2 games and if he gets promoted.
