You have no conviction.

LOL!

May as well throw away the key after you've locked me away in the funny farm.

Bugger!

He looked good in the NAB Challenge games.

Carlisle coming back.

Is going in with a backline of McVeigh Mitchell Hanley Simpson Swallow McDoanld to expensive? The structure and plan I am running with fits but have I overspent in the backline?

Ive gone with McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Simpson, McDonald, Langford (Clay Cameron, Tom Langdon)

Never doubt yourself if your confident with your selections.

For the record, I've also got 5 midfield keepers, 3 forward keepers (1 mid pricer) and 1 ruck keeper (1 mid pricer) as my structure. The rest are rookies (sub $200,000).

You must be confident on Langfords JS then.

What's everyone think about this idea for a backline?

Mitchell, McVeigh, Simpson, McDonald and 2 of Langdon, Langford, Georgiou, Clurey.

Surely at least 2 of those guys will be named right? LOL!

I know its risky but the backline is where I'm going cheapest in and I don't want to unsettle my forwards, mids and rucks.

I've taken out Georgiou. He's still rookie listed and the last I heard Garland may only be about 3 weeks away from returning. Can't see Georgiou getting a game ahead of any of Frawley, McDonald, Garland, Dunn, Terlich or Grimes so the question has to be asked, will Melbourne promote Georgiou off the rookie list just to fill a short term vacancy?

Interesting, throws a spanner in the works. Thoughts on this Jiska

I think I lost my insanity once I put Higgins in my team.

Has been all downhill since.

Bootsma, come on down!

Never really thought there was a spot for him but Garland going down made it a remote possibility. Hoddo is right though, there's enough cover for Garland down back which is arguably the only line Melbourne have that is settled. Other than Frawley, McDonald, Dunn, Terlich and Grimes there's also Clisby, Jones, Kent, Strauss and Pederson who are probably ahead of him. I also think Watts is better at CHB with all our forwards playing so add him in there too.

Roos has always traditionally taken his time with rookies and given there's not a massive hole in defense can't see this being any different. Then again, Roos will see players differently to previous coaches and may see different roles for people under his game plan. In a high possession plan such as the one Roos seems to be implementing, disposal efficiency is king and Georgiou does use the ball very well. Roos may give him a taste.

Personally I'd plan on him not getting a game. Can always downgrade to him at the last minute given his price.

He was extremely impressive at Casey Fields yesterday in a virtually full strength Hawthorn side. May possibly be replaced by Burgoyne (whom has gone MIA this pre season) but looked impressive none the less.

For the record, rookies are virtually for show at the start of the year until sides are announced anyways aren't they?

Yes the actual rookie choices are but I'm more talking about structire I'm not confident enough to have any backline rookies on the field with the exception of McDonald and you have 2.

Would like to have him but that 170+ has priced me out.

It's certainly a consideration.

I don't think he would be a bad D6 behind Lukey Mac at D5. Would free up heaps of cash.

Webster and Griffiths as alternatives to Suckling and McDonald at D5 and D6?

JM has man crushes on both

Sutcliffe bandwagon. Jiska

 

[strauchanie59]

going for a mid-pricer, Rhyce Shaw has been good this pre-season, 299k. Do I get him or another mid-pricer?
