LOL wish someone had started this bogus rumour an hour or two before final lockout.

Don't worry about that, there are always bogus rumours floating around before lockout...

@dtgod242 "Dane Swan has tripped over some luggage and will be unable to destroy North Melbourne this weekend"

All this crap about Swan could go two ways - it'll either fire him up even more or it'll be an enormous distraction. Who knows? Honestly, I'm tempted to go without him. It makes the choice for Captain obvious with Ablett the default position. Fewer headaches.

Quite enjoying all this ruck carnage and such. Pre-season everyone's R1/2 was Goldstein/Berger. Now? Oops, Goldy might be a spud and Currie's going to take his place. Oops, Berger might be in doubt until the last minute after all. Currie's promising and all, but now people are going the other way and suggesting they start with him, so much so I see some DT Board regulars telling newbies to downgrade unique picks for Currie. Madness. Right now I'm tempted by something solid and reliable - Cox / Kreuzer, Cox / etc. Maybe not Maric, too much.

EDIT: Just realised who I forgot. Roughy.

LEAVE Dustin Martin out of your AFL Fantasy side at your peril, warns Richmond coach Damien Hardwick.

Hardwick could be the new DT antichrist and his partner in crime 'Choco' Williams could be the false prophet.

I've gotta admit, my structure does balance out nicely if I replace one of my forward premos with him. I'm just not sure I can bring myself to do it.

 

[Butler]

Sadly Martin is in my team but trust me, i'm not all that stoked about it.

A defender in the $200-300k range is the last piece of the puzzle for me. Desperately hoping Tambling gets up and cements a spot, will be perfect for my side.

Lets be honest, Tambling has shown nothing all his career. having potential counts for nothing if you don't show any of it.

He should be aight for Round 1 I think...

I still hate him though...

Incorrect. Averaged 89 points in 20 games in 2009, played quite well that year.

Except for that 89 point average in 09.

Martin and Grimes
vs.
Bartel and Hartlett

Martin and Grimes
vs.
Bartel and Hartlett

This is one of the problems I'm having as well. With Martin, if the reports are to be believed, he could potentially have a significant point boost this season and be one of the leading forwards, while Grimes, if he stays injury free and plays like he did during the second half of last season, could conceivably score over 100 on average.

Then you get to ever-consistent Bartel who will pull out a big game here or there but whose main value will be as a consistent forward, and Hartlett who, like Martin and Grimes, could have a significant point boost if he plays midfield but also just needs to stay fit.

Potentially you could take the riskier option of Hartlett and Martin, hoping for both to improve dramatically, but also saving you roughly 50-100k. Either way, I don't think any combination is a bad combination.

Martin & Murph v Ablett & Cornelius (I don't have Swan).

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Martin & Murph v Ablett & Cornelius (I don't have Swan).

If you dont have Swan, Ablett is a must

Murph is good value though

 

[Dan12]

Martin & Murph v Ablett & Cornelius (I don't have Swan).

Cornelius? Surely there's way way better options? One of Kennedy, Byrnes, Knights, Karnezis or Varcoe and Ablett maybe?

 

[Jcpdragonx]

currie, kenndy and birchall vs leuy, wright and docherty

 

[jbiddy89]

Watson vs Murphy

 

[VSTone]

Watson vs Murphy

going Watson myself...but if Murphy is matching Watson after 2 rounds he'll be farmed back to Murphy

 

[cuzz is back]

kreuzer vs griffin vs mummy ?

 

[VSTone]

i had a good look at kruezer against the crows... hampson looked way better in my opinion
griffin - rumours about sandi isnt far away from returning
mumford - had him last year and he DT bitch slapped me... hard to go there again for me... but the pick of this bunch for me.

 

[VSTone]

who are the replacement options if Monfries doesn't come up in time?
