Anyone else considering?</blockquote> Dixon has been a lock in my forward line since rnd 1 of the NAB. He is great at taking strong contested marks and has a good kick. He also seems to be there main target when going forward. I think he can be counted on for 60-70SC points a games.

Anyone else considering?</blockquote> I've had Dixon on my bench from the start - with the big wraps on him from Bluey, I think he'll be their main target up forward and looks to have all the makings of a good forward. For me, it's been a toss up between Matera and Prestia for the other spot - leaning to Prestia atm mainly due to his DPP, although feel that Matera will play more and be a better scorer Thoughts anyone
Matera will play early, not convinced about Prestia. Was in Possibles, not Probables intra-club, hasn't shone so far, and left out this week. For $150k there are better for mine, although the MPP is a worry. Would like ISmith to get a run in R1.

Played round one but then wasn't sighted till rounds 5 and 6, then didn't break back into the side.) I see that catching a lot of people out! They need his pace, but is a light frame with very little game time experience, I see him being in and out of the side a lot and may only play 5 of the first 10 games, not really ideal in a cash cow.
Yeah the only thing I can't stop thinking about is the MPP. I lose the link between Forward and Midfield rookies. Not convinced on Smith either though. I'm thinking the choices are very slim for Midfield rookies as well.
@GH, Doesn't Krakouer cover the link? + you should be looking at a downgrade to Mzungu when he returns which is also another option.
Yeah Krak does but now I have shelved I.Smith so will have to wait for Mzungu to come back to re-open the link.

Great to hear Re: Bewick. For mine Krak is the perfect replacement for Mzungnu or I Smith or whoever you need for the Mid to Fwd link.
