Im on him...
reason being there are many similar defenders who could score the same but to put it simply i expect collingwood to dominate again and get most of the 3300. hence it seems silly to only have pendles from the pies as im not keen on the other viable options swan didak cloke etc from the start
My question again for the backline from D6
Lake, rookie rookie wilkes
Or
M Clarke Bower Buntine wilkes

Enright or Newman?
Depends on his midfield time. Has wronged the SC community one too many times, but being in a strong team will always keep people interested. Marty Clarke might eat into his scoring also.
Watch his preseason form, but I probably won't be getting on him.
I'm doubtful Bower can work his way into Carlton's back six - there just seems to be too many ahead of him.
I'd prefer someone like Smedts/Morris for D7.
Flip a coin brah.
I'll be going with Newman, but there might be a bit of bias in my decision.

Brian Lake ($286,900) vs Phil Davis ($280,100) as D6?

I'd go Lake. I'd be hesitant with either, but, if you're looking for risk, I'd back Lake. He's proven that he can be good and has fallen from that level; Davis has never really proven anything.
Enright is getting old and Newman is coming back from his season-ending injury. I wouldn't take either, personally.
If either Newman for me. Enright always starts a blaze then seems to go downhill from there on. Burnt me 3 seasons in a row now.
Looks like Davis might be the more unique selection, but Lake has the advantage of a higher scoring ceiling, despite his horrendous 2011 season. Either way, it's far too early to tell.
Another 'wait-and-see-what-they-do-in-the-preseason' decision

Brian Lake is injured again this time a calf strain. (well so says SportsLiesFirst)
Swan, Witts, 91k vs Caddy, Mumford, 30k.
I think people are going to have to take risks in the defence, you simply can't start with so many round 13 bye players, 6 of the 9 top priced have byes in round 13, as well as promising cheapies in Ellis, Wilkes, Morris and Bower.
So for risk takes in defence, I would say Lake over Davis due to his higher ceiling. All getting points for your dollar, and Lake has proven he can get points...so Lake

Can I throw Tony Armstrong into this question.? Similar price, at a new club(the kings of second chance players Sydney) and seem to play well when finally got a chance towards the end of the season.

That is why I picked A. Everitt last year. I really wish I hadn't.
Oh man! Glad I avoided that catastrophe. I feel ya pain mate
Enright has been pure SC gold last 3 years. Last year slightly faded towards very end, but still managed 100+ from 3 of last 4 SC based games.
No idea how to gauge him this year, yet!
100% agree, i hate picking my defense premiums....
Enright, Newman, Scotland, Bock all aging and will drop sooner or later imo
Suckling (492) or Birchall (509) as my Hawthorn defender?
Also with so many good midfield rookies will everyone still get Coniglio? is he that good? i didnt go Swallow last year (saved the 60K) and it didnt bother me?

I agree. I'd definitely go with Suckling over Birchall. He's younger and on the up and up. Birchall has a few good games, a few bad and mostly average.
I'd bank the 60K. If you analyse it using the magic number, a $170K rookie has to score 11-12ppg better than a $110K rookie to break-even. Something to consider. And it's definitely worth it if you can throw that $60K at another player to get a better premium or something. My rule is no more than $125K for a bench player. That said, I will pay $175K for a starting rookie, but only if they are worth it or one of the only secure picks.

Indeed! Always gives you that churning feeling in the bottom of ya gut.
To Enright or not to Enright? To Scotland or not to Scotland? etc
Cheers for links.
He looks pretty damn fit going by that pic. Pre season will be telling as per usual. Could be the D4 or D5 type everyone is looking for...

Heppell or Yarran for D4?
Both look good options. Comes down to personal preference.
Second year blues can sometimes hit so I'm in the Yarran (Yazzle Dazzle) camp!
