I would think if Cameron gets off tonight he should stay back. McKenna back from injury is a little worrying but lions can still use Lohman, Cameron and McCarthy as the main smalls with Rayner switching between mid/fwd.
If Cameron misses then maybe, but it's probably easier to cover a small...
Budarick and James Jordon
vs
Billings and Williams ?
Leaning Budarick and Jordon as that gives me the option to go Budarick down to Williams at round 3 if he doesn't do what I'm hoping?
Does anyone see any viable under 260k (ish) defenders coming out/debuting over the next few weeks?
Need a downgrade option for cincotta, fine for numbers on field this week, but would like to make at least 100k of the downgrade. Already have chessers as D8 🤔
Not a happy hunting ground at the...
Would you guys trade out stocker or ginbey this week? Whoever stays will be traded the following week anyway (barring carnage).
Both have a favourable match up this week by the looks of it. Plus I'm fully aware whoever I trade out will end up scoring better anyways....
Won't affect who I...
I also held Day and Green (partly as I knew I would have to ditch grundy when gawn came back). Definitely a good feeling seeing green, day and English go into the side in 1 week.
Currently
Grundy>English
Mckenna> Cincotta
Gives me a week to look at fiorini, which could be a blessing if...
FELLOW GRUNDY OWNERS, where are we going?
Intial thoughts are straight up to English, paying over a million hurts, but he is just so bloody good and watching him play he is just everywhere. Almost like only an injury will stop him topping 100 every week.
Darcy and Gawn the only other options I...
Titch two weeks in a row has crawled to a semi-respectable score. Probably going to be right in the "not good enough to keep", "not bad enough to trade" for the whole season. 42 point last quarter
who gets the final spot on the bench?? JS seems not great for most.... leaning towards Davey, Chandler or Long unless someone knows something i don't about the others?
Currently have these rookies with one spot left to fill:
Ashcroft
Mackenzie
Phillips
Hollands
Phillipou
Chesser
Ginbey
Cowan
Wilmot
Greene
Pedlar
Who's the best of the rest (if the expected rookies get named)? Can be any position
Seemed to be slightly better without pittonet in the side but not by a massive margin
Would have to sell yourself on the idea of having had another pre-season to get better, plus I believe this is a contract year? (Maybe)
That extra coin can be handy though 😅
Saints Fans
Considering half the team seems to be injured, is there any rookies you really like the look of to get a good run in the first few rounds of the season?
Real early in the pre season I had him locked after his finish to last year. If I put him in it would mean fading Daicos and using the money elsewhere.
You'd hope the Caleb Daniel midfield talk was true in which hopefully him and dale will be the main men back there 🤞🤞
Any reason Jaegar bomb can't push 100? Cheaper than the other 700k+ breakout contenders, new team, locked into midfield rotation?
Freo should be good and brayshaw would likely cop the tags? Is there any obvious reason I'm missing he could be a dud?
Agreed, especially this year with the SUB rule, a lot of these 200k fringe rookies could easily be the 23rd man and have their cash gen killed in one game. Likely better off paying up for job security
Yeah I'm leaning towards backing the young (pardon the pun) breakout candidates as I should have C options elsewhere. With the hope that they can both be keepers, where as with richards he isn't as likely to be a top 6 DEF so may need to be traded... but could easily see both options turning out...
Dropping English down to Draper free's up a lot of coin that makes the rest of your team look real good...
Just, uh, close your eyes when you look at your rucks so you don't feel disgusted.....
Definitely viable this year and every variation of a team I have made has gone the value route in the backline.
Aside from doch there are big question marks over every "premo" defender. Any of Salem, Yeo, Richards, Bowes, Hunt, Mckenna, Coffield COULD be good value picks, just depends on...
Not Rookies but Rookie Priced:
Any gold coast or Bulldogs fans have a read on Tom Berry and Dominic Bedendo in the pre season?
Both a few extra years in the system so if named should have better job security than the higher end draft picks you would think?
Being a Brisbane fan I'm pretty...
What do hawks fans think of Cooper Stephens? Couple extra years in the system (Geelongs too) compared to some of Hawthorns other MID options, only 390k which puts him in the same bracket as Hunt, Coffield, Mckenna who we are all considering for our DEF lines. But if he has a consistent midfield...
Interesting, Milera burnt me last year, it will be interesting which of these 4 goes bang or bust, and if anyone is ballsy (or silly) enough to start all 3-4 of them.
Hoping if Tarryn has the role round 1 Clarko will obviously have wanted that to stay locked. Worpel I legitimately have no idea...
400-500K Mid Price Madness Battle Royal
Tarry Thomas v James Worpel v Wayne Milera v Toby Mclean
Pretty much 100% on Mclean, currently tossing up between fitting Worpel or Thomas into my side....
