Speaker 1: Gooday, and welcome back to Drafted Talk and all things
Speaker 1: super Coach Draft this Sunday night, March thirtieth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, boy Dossy here talking waver I pick ups
Speaker 1: four round four. I'm here with Alekdog and Leakedog outside
Speaker 1: of Carlton related emotions. Mate, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm well mate? Another weekend of draft gone, another weekend
Speaker 2: of pretending real the football team I support didn't play.
Speaker 1: No, it's good. It's good.
Speaker 2: It's good. Won both my main leagues. And that's the
Speaker 2: important thing, isn't it.
Speaker 1: That is good. I believe I beat Patch, our good
Speaker 1: friend from the show this week in our draft league.
Speaker 1: So always always a good thing to get at w
Speaker 1: of you mates. But for those wondering at home, we
Speaker 1: didn't do a show last week. This podcast won't be
Speaker 1: a weekly feature on your feed, but will jump on
Speaker 1: when we can. Even We'll try and get Patch on
Speaker 1: it some point in the season as well. But we
Speaker 1: are talking all things draft because we do love the
Speaker 1: game and you can still make a league if you're
Speaker 1: a bit late to the party on Super Coach Draft
Speaker 1: as well, and grab your mates, especially if your classic
Speaker 1: team's gone. To absolute no good like like mine is
Speaker 1: turning out to be. You can always have a bit
Speaker 1: of fun in draft. But one thing Lecdog you will
Speaker 1: be doing every single week is your weekly article called
Speaker 1: cop them and drop them like the name all come
Speaker 1: up with by you there Leck, but you'll be able
Speaker 1: to find that exclusively on Code Sports for all your
Speaker 1: draft needs. And Lecdog you've been nailing your picks of late.
Speaker 2: Yes it's going well early and not to toot my
Speaker 2: own torn and horn, and we do track in the
Speaker 2: article the results from the previous week. But as a
Speaker 2: sneak peak, if you want your advice on who to grab,
Speaker 2: I pretty much nailed it this week. Jack Henry eighty eight,
Speaker 2: Jake Bowie Bowie one sixteen CJ only fifty eight slight
Speaker 2: this there, but I still I did say he was
Speaker 2: a Benchi Nathan Odris school one oh four, Georgi Georgiades
Speaker 2: who was dominant and scored all these points in about
Speaker 2: five minutes. Seventy eight and Taylor Walker at ninety one
Speaker 2: were the were the cops from last week. If you
Speaker 2: grabbed any of them, you'd probably be pretty happy. And
Speaker 2: then the drops of the of the guys who did
Speaker 2: play Lake Acres twenty five, Andrew McGrath thirty four, Aaron
Speaker 2: Norton fifty three, and then Tim Turanto, who I suggested
Speaker 2: was a trade not a drop. Ninety four points so
Speaker 2: pretty good, pretty good scoring record, and every article we
Speaker 2: tracked the previous week's performance, so you can hold me accountable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you subscribe, I think that's been my favorite
Speaker 1: part so far. And you were, to be fair pre show,
Speaker 1: you were turning your own horn to me. You were saying,
Speaker 1: how how well you did last yow, that's why we
Speaker 1: wanted to bring it up. But yeah, it is good
Speaker 1: to see you're holding yourself accountable their lex so check
Speaker 1: that out on Code Sports. We do have a super
Speaker 1: Coach draft section there on the side now, so I'll
Speaker 1: put that link in the description. But let's get to
Speaker 1: our top five waivers heading into round four post round three,
Speaker 1: and like I said, we are recording Sunday night, so
Speaker 1: if things do change around, you know, that's not our fault.
Speaker 1: It's Sunday night. So lekdog. I'll let you start with
Speaker 1: the first one, and the way we do this will
Speaker 1: just go one by one here, So who's your number
Speaker 1: one wave? Will I pick up.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to cheat because again it's it's Jake Bowie.
Speaker 2: So he was in the article last week. He's still
Speaker 2: in under Let me have a little twenty fours and
Speaker 2: he's just got a plumb roll. It was a bit
Speaker 2: higher up the ground this week, but essentially halfback, maybe
Speaker 2: pushing it a little bit up onto a wing, but
Speaker 2: pretty much half back. And he's just been dominant. One
Speaker 2: sixteen last week, ninety seven the week before, and I
Speaker 2: think he had about a ninety two old double chick
Speaker 2: now about a ninety two in that first week as well,
Speaker 2: so he's been on fire ninety six. He's got a
Speaker 2: great role Melbourne in't defending well through the middle of
Speaker 2: the ground and not putting a heap of pressure on
Speaker 2: so he is getting plenty of opportunities and just a
Speaker 2: really under owned player. And for a guy who, even
Speaker 2: if you look at just his pure average ninety six
Speaker 2: point five before this weekend, if someone's averaging that, I
Speaker 2: would have expected them to be picked up in more
Speaker 2: teams than he has been. So grab him if he's there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unreal, I've got him in my top five. He's
Speaker 1: down at fifth for me, but it's only because he's
Speaker 1: actually been my boyfri so so long and I've probably
Speaker 1: gone way too early on him and he's let me
Speaker 1: down in the past, so I'm not willing to go
Speaker 1: there just in case things fall off the rails again
Speaker 1: like they have for me in the past. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the role, love the player, So an awesome pickup.
Speaker 1: And yeah, still way under owned at the moment now,
Speaker 1: I just will say, for percentage wise, I think we're
Speaker 1: going under sixty percent owned as our threshold here, likek
Speaker 1: I've kind of I've kind of stuck under. I've actually
Speaker 1: got under forty five ish percent at the moment, So
Speaker 1: hopefully these guys, you know, they might not be a
Speaker 1: valuable in your league, but well maybe I've got a
Speaker 1: couple of lower percentages at the end as well to
Speaker 1: talk through.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think I've got anyone sort of
Speaker 2: above forty, so we'll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get so this guy may be missed due to that,
Speaker 1: but forty point four percent is my number one player
Speaker 1: and it's Jace Bergoyn, so.
Speaker 2: Move him off my list.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable that he's this lowly owned at the moment, but
Speaker 1: a bit of a role change clearly playing a bit
Speaker 1: more defense now. He took three kick ins on the weekend,
Speaker 1: but also one hundred percent time on ground. This guy's
Speaker 1: just so clean with the peal. Love the way he plays,
Speaker 1: and look if they're going to start using him, if
Speaker 1: Port's going to start using him as their distributor now
Speaker 1: that Dan Houston's gone, you know, alongside Kane Farrell, because
Speaker 1: it seemingly looks like they need some help back in defense.
Speaker 1: Scored one hundred and twenty one on the weekend, started
Speaker 1: the season slow with a fifty, and then moved into
Speaker 1: that role one hundred and twenty seven hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: one since, so he should hopefully we'll see how DPPs
Speaker 1: are tracking, but you'd presume that he's going to get
Speaker 1: dual position status, and that happens after round five this year,
Speaker 1: so it's a round earlier, so you don't even have
Speaker 1: to stash him in your midfield for too long. It's
Speaker 1: for two extra rounds and then he should hopefully be
Speaker 1: a defender. So he's my number one wavell I pick
Speaker 1: up this week if he's there, grab him.
Speaker 2: He's just a jet, isn't he He's just so good.
Speaker 1: He's a gun. Who have you got second Leck.
Speaker 2: This is a my boy. This is a guy who's
Speaker 2: in thirty seven point five percent of teams. This is
Speaker 2: a John Noble. He was in all my preseason thankings.
Speaker 2: I own him in every single keeper league I play.
Speaker 1: You were talking hibout big time preseason. I remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's come out so obviously. Gold Coast have
Speaker 2: only played the two games seventy eight and then the
Speaker 2: one twenty on the weekend playing half back, but predominantly
Speaker 2: playing on sort of the left side of the ground
Speaker 2: if you're looking from defense, and he pushed really high
Speaker 2: the ground and was impacting, you know, forward to the
Speaker 2: ball as well. But we know that he can sort
Speaker 2: of slop back and opposite Dan Rioli, all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: they've got a couple of happens. And I guess the
Speaker 2: hype for me on him preseason was you don't acquire
Speaker 2: a guy like that for the price they paid unless
Speaker 2: you've got a role for him. And very clearly to
Speaker 2: me that that's plumb halfback roles there, and he's a
Speaker 2: kicker first. So that's what I love about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiful, he's he I think he was a special
Speaker 1: mention on my list or maybe top five. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he was a special mention for me, but I know
Speaker 1: he's your boy, so fair enough that he's cracked in there.
Speaker 1: I've still just don't know what to think of the Suns,
Speaker 1: but I do have a son as my number two
Speaker 1: and drafted in a lot of probably our leagues and
Speaker 1: a bunch of I guess coach, you know, the experienced
Speaker 1: super coaches, I would say, have this guy on their team.
Speaker 1: But Bailey Humphrey forty two point five percent of leagues
Speaker 1: he has owned in but one hundred and eleven on
Speaker 1: the weekend and off to a flying start, playing much
Speaker 1: more midfield this year, getting a lot of midfield exposure.
Speaker 1: He's available as a forward. So while I don't think
Speaker 1: these massive scores necessarily are sustainable for the season, the
Speaker 1: Suns are off to an absolute flyer. So we've had
Speaker 1: some pretty big scores across the board in their midfield
Speaker 1: at the moment. But look, he's going to be playing
Speaker 1: at least some midfield exposure and some pretty decent center
Speaker 1: bounce numbers as well from Bailey humphreyhim. When you've got
Speaker 1: a forward that is doing that, look you just get
Speaker 1: them up. You get them in your team straight away
Speaker 1: early in the season. So look, I know he's probably
Speaker 1: not available in your legue, but forty two point five
Speaker 1: percent he might be. So if he is, go grab
Speaker 1: him your third lecdog.
Speaker 2: My third is I'm just switching things around here on
Speaker 2: the fly, and this is I'm okay, I'm going to
Speaker 2: switch to this man. It's going to be Dan Curtin
Speaker 2: and played the first round for Adelaide sort of in defense,
Speaker 2: didn't score much, scored twenty six points, but then the
Speaker 2: last two weeks has played forward and in an Adelaide
Speaker 2: team that's packing a lot and defending not a lot
Speaker 2: and scoring a lot, his little niche role in the
Speaker 2: forward line has generated some points eighty two last week,
Speaker 2: ninety this week. He's available in a hell of a
Speaker 2: lot of teams. I'm just scrolling down to actually try
Speaker 2: and find him. You can't find him. I think he's
Speaker 2: in sub ten percent of teams. Let's pull him up,
Speaker 2: and he's in that four point four percent of teams
Speaker 2: of leagues, and he's available as a forward. And I
Speaker 2: think anyone who's available is a forward at this point
Speaker 2: in the season that has a little bit of upside
Speaker 2: or is in a little bit of form is someone
Speaker 2: I'm going to jump on because I'd rather feel him
Speaker 2: than like your Sampal Peppers and that sort of player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge for huge for the keeper league's perspective as well.
Speaker 1: That seemed like a breakout game in particular this week
Speaker 1: against North But yeah, once to keep an eye out.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have as much faith as
Speaker 1: you do. Perhaps is that the role or the scoring continuing,
Speaker 1: But yeah, Adelaide another team that's just killing it to
Speaker 1: start the season. My number three, and a bit of
Speaker 1: bias from my beloved West Coast Eagles, and they did
Speaker 1: just play moments ago. So I don't even know if
Speaker 1: this final score is going to be scaled at all.
Speaker 1: But Ryan Marrich played amazing game this game against Freemanner
Speaker 1: in the Western derby one hundred and twenty three points.
Speaker 1: And he has got the defensive distributor role at West
Speaker 1: Coast at the moment. It was flagged in pre season,
Speaker 1: but then I don't he didn't play in the first
Speaker 1: week and it was sort of like, oh, what's going
Speaker 1: on there? Doesn't have you know, he's clearly out of
Speaker 1: the out of favor, but he's come in the next
Speaker 1: two and put up some solid scores. He was sorry
Speaker 1: he was sub the first week, scored well in very
Speaker 1: low time on ground. It was like a thirty three
Speaker 1: in a quarter basically. Since then, had two really solid
Speaker 1: games and come out with a massive game this week.
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I like about it as well,
Speaker 1: like other than just the fact he's taking kickins, he's
Speaker 1: the guy back there. He makes some mistakes, but he's
Speaker 1: twenty years old, so you know, yea hope that they
Speaker 1: persist with him. The thing that happened in that game
Speaker 1: as well though, was Jeremy McGovern was injured. I think
Speaker 1: it was a groin that he did there, so job
Speaker 1: security should be there long terms. Harry Edwards was subbed
Speaker 1: oubt so you know he's up in the favor. You'd
Speaker 1: imagine if he's taking kickings and got that role. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Ryan Marrick only three point four percent of
Speaker 1: teams at the moment available as a forward and he's
Speaker 1: got that prime distributing role. So yeah, one one that
Speaker 1: I'm really high on and probably hoping to pick up
Speaker 1: in many leagues this week bloody beautiful.
Speaker 2: Well, he was definitely on my list. So if we're
Speaker 2: going to stick in that under selected forward line. I've
Speaker 2: got a bit of a curly one. His name's been Long.
Speaker 2: He's in two point four percent of teams. He scored
Speaker 2: eighty seven points against Melbourne and ninety six points against
Speaker 2: West Coast. The points were pretty high against Melbourne and
Speaker 2: he only kicked one goal, where as he kicked four
Speaker 2: goals against West Coast. So he's generating points from basically possessions,
Speaker 2: and he kicks a hell of a lot more than
Speaker 2: the handbles. He really has no reason to handball. So
Speaker 2: he's currently inform goal Coaster currently inform. He's a forward.
Speaker 2: I'm willing to take a punt or a risk on
Speaker 2: a guy like this in the forward line, even if
Speaker 2: he's on my bench. He's a guy I'm looking to grab.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna last, but I think we'll
Speaker 2: let gold Coaster upen about. He's someone I'm willing to ride.
Speaker 1: I really like that we have different players, and I
Speaker 1: think it's because we sort of set little different thresholds.
Speaker 1: But this so far, like again, not much crossover here,
Speaker 1: which is awesome. To get some more names on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I've gone again a bit higher in ownership again but
Speaker 1: under forty percent. Thirty two point two percent at the moment.
Speaker 1: Hugo ga Sea, a player that's talked about a fair
Speaker 1: bit in classic circles as well this preseason, had a
Speaker 1: chance to really score well this week with no Jack
Speaker 1: Steele as a late out, but still the signs were
Speaker 1: really good here able to score has midfield role, and
Speaker 1: he was the sub last week. You'd hope that after
Speaker 1: that performance he avoids it for a little bit, and
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd be willing to spend a waiver just
Speaker 1: to see if he holds that role for a while,
Speaker 1: because his potential was amazing. Obviously super high on him
Speaker 1: in keeper leagues, but his potential is amazing for this year.
Speaker 1: Should he just hold onto that role, and the Saints
Speaker 1: look pretty good with him in there, so look, I'd
Speaker 1: be again, I'd be willing to spend it just to
Speaker 1: see if he can, if he can hold onto that
Speaker 1: role even with Jack Steel back in the side, if
Speaker 1: he can get his scoring up a little bit around
Speaker 1: this mark. But yeah, an amazing game from Hugo Garcia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit of rage trading for classics or people
Speaker 2: drop him last week and they're probably not super happy
Speaker 2: with that decision at this stage. I've got another more
Speaker 2: highly owned player thirty three point four percent to round
Speaker 2: out my top five mid only Tom Atkins, midfielder from
Speaker 2: Geelong eighty five ninety six and a one oh five
Speaker 2: to start the season, fourteen tackles, eleven tackles and twelve
Speaker 2: tackles fourteen the most recent, twelve the first. He's being
Speaker 2: a defensive stopper in the midfield and he doesn't even
Speaker 2: need to touch the ball to get points because he's
Speaker 2: just generating tackles. So I think for now, midfield is
Speaker 2: actually really shallow for mid only players, and he's one
Speaker 2: that I have my eye on if he's available.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that cat's midfield. It's it's not super deep outside
Speaker 1: those top players, so he's getting a pretty nice role
Speaker 1: in there as well. My fifth to round it out
Speaker 1: wasn't in fact Jake Bowie, so you mentioned him up
Speaker 1: the top twenty twenty four percent owned, big fan of
Speaker 1: him as well, but a couple of special mentions. I
Speaker 1: suppose I do have a guy that's massive at the
Speaker 1: moment in salary cap leagues, and Sam Davidson available as
Speaker 1: a forward looked out standing on the weekend, mature age
Speaker 1: rookie coming into the system one hundred and twenty nine
Speaker 1: points for the Western Bulldogs. Bit salty. I didn't play
Speaker 1: him on field, and you'll probably hear about that on
Speaker 1: the Phantom's Lair talking about that. But yeah, he's one
Speaker 1: that I'm you know, i'd be probably willing to spend
Speaker 1: because he's lower owned in Draft League seventeen point nine percent,
Speaker 1: so you you know he's going to be more available
Speaker 1: than some of these guys were talking off the top.
Speaker 1: And there's a word that I used to use and
Speaker 1: still do use at times, observable first in this setting
Speaker 1: and hit boy, he wants the pill. He wants that
Speaker 1: Sharon bad So, Sam Davidson, you know, I think he's
Speaker 1: a good option in draft as well. I like it.
Speaker 2: I like it. And if we're going to jump into
Speaker 2: honorall we mentions s guy and similar Van is sort
Speaker 2: of Murphy Red. That's sort of that rookie priced super
Speaker 2: coach classic type player that's available in plenty leagues. But
Speaker 2: the name I want to throw at you this is
Speaker 2: a Kerball and I only know about him because I
Speaker 2: have him in a dynasty league where we have to
Speaker 2: to play a key position players each week. Anthony Camerini
Speaker 2: from Saint Kilda has been switched from a undersized full
Speaker 2: forward to essentially a full back or an attempt to
Speaker 2: try and fill a Josh Battle type hole in that
Speaker 2: Saint Kilda side. And then we've only got a small
Speaker 2: sample size. Fifty six in round one was him playing
Speaker 2: as a forward, and then he's put up a seventy
Speaker 2: eight and a ninety five in defense. Now, one was
Speaker 2: a win against Geelong and the other was against a
Speaker 2: win against Richmond, who you know, he was kind of
Speaker 2: running around with Tom Lynch and then basically doing whatever
Speaker 2: he wanted. I don't think it's a long term play.
Speaker 2: I don't think it might even pay off next week.
Speaker 2: But he's one I'm watching. It's a role change. He's
Speaker 2: scored two decent scores and he's a forward and at
Speaker 2: some stage soon he'll be for defense eligible. So he's
Speaker 2: just one that I'm looking at. He's in almost literally
Speaker 2: no one's team in Super Coach Draft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be happy like picking him up free agency.
Speaker 1: You're definitely not spending a waiver, but now, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you could pick him up later in the week and
Speaker 1: stream if you're really struggling in that forward line and
Speaker 1: hope it pops for a few weeks. I'm just looking
Speaker 1: at their injury report as well, someone like a Googal
Speaker 1: Howard to fill that role. Still five ish weeks away
Speaker 1: on their last injury report, So yeah, it's a decent shout.
Speaker 1: Can't say I've been thinking about him too much in
Speaker 1: my plan. Think about him a lotad that you mentioned
Speaker 1: off the top as well in special mentions, but he
Speaker 1: was in your article last week. I think you said
Speaker 1: tex Walker still ten percent owned. Yeah, improved, improved chromb
Speaker 1: side there as well. I think he's one of his
Speaker 1: early scores was he got subbed off I think in
Speaker 1: the first game in a bit lower time on ground
Speaker 1: from memory. So his last two games outside of that one,
Speaker 1: he's scored really well. So texts could be good in
Speaker 1: that forward line for the Crows if we're going to
Speaker 1: see more of it up there. The Wizard. The Wizard
Speaker 1: has been I mean, he's been unreal. One hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty four on the weekend. You've got to give him props.
Speaker 1: Started off with a stick inca in the season, but
Speaker 1: they've got the buy this week, which is why I
Speaker 1: didn't mention them him as a pick up this particular week.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a topsy turvy ride
Speaker 1: with any small forward as well, So I probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: necessarily recommend it, but gee, you're probably going to get
Speaker 1: some of these ceiling scores, which is unbelievable from a
Speaker 1: small forward player that I will just my last special
Speaker 1: mentions Cam McKenzie twenty nine percent. Again, I didn't mention
Speaker 1: him just because they the Hawks do have the buy
Speaker 1: this week, but I think his role in that midfield
Speaker 1: looks pretty solidified now, And if Cane Corns's words have
Speaker 1: anything to say about it, I think he said he's
Speaker 1: One of his tweets was that he's a future Brownlow medallist,
Speaker 1: so that's you know, if you have any sway with
Speaker 1: Big Cano. He's talking a lot about fantasy this year,
Speaker 1: mainly in a negative light, but if you're if you're
Speaker 1: that way swayed, I think Cam McKenzie could be a
Speaker 1: nice little player this year as well for your midfield.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think he's got a pretty solid locked
Speaker 2: in role. I mean, he's definitely got lots in spot
Speaker 2: on the team. James Warple needs to come back, but
Speaker 2: Conor McDonald came out of that forward line. He has
Speaker 2: moments at the midfield, so there's definitely minutes available currently.
Speaker 1: All right, Lefdog. Well that's that's all we have for
Speaker 1: the waivers this week. Again, you can catch copham and
Speaker 1: drop them from Lekdog. That is his waver Wire article
Speaker 1: weekly exclusive on Code Sports, so check that out every week.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we'll jump on for a pod from
Speaker 1: time to time when we can, but you can grab
