Who's the MID/FWD we're picking for the midfield? I have about 4 in the forward line but zero in midfield.
I don't think it really matters as you can swap them any time. As long as you have the link.
 
So do we loosely class (or hope!) Sam Gray, Aaron Hall, Buddy, Bartel, JJ, etc as Premiums at this stage?
And whilst everyone is focusing on the Guns and Rookies, what is the consensus about players such as Libba, Croch-Brothers, DeGoey, Seedsman, Wells etc and fitting them into the G'n'R plan? Its difficult to get a balance this year with so many middle-tier options, or is it just me??
Basically if you're going to take them you must be confident they'll become keepers and be premiums. (I'd consider Bartel and Buddy premos out of that list, only because they have good history, in saying that, I don't like either of them as picks)

Everybody is having that issue at the moment. I'm going with Libba and Wells, and I'm confident with them. If we had more cheap rookies available I'd probably take 1 of the Crouch brothers as well.

Balance is the key and it's doing my bloody head in trying to fit in these high price rookies and still have a strong team
 
Yeah if Danger starts like he did last year he'll be 550k at about round 8.

So you'll need 2 rookies to be averaging 80 to be able to afford him.
Or turf an underperforming premo.

I have 42% 36% 31% 23% 15% & one off the radar @ 6%.
 
Parker is probably the 3rd or 4th best mid in the team, so he's not as important as Gablett.

For you to say he's "no chance" to play forward minutes is misleading.

I'm pointing out what a coach has said, and what actually transpired on the weekend to allow people to be more informed.
I didn't say "no chance", I said "no chance for mine".

There's a big difference between the two, no need to misquote me.
 
I just think, given the question marks with the other guys in his price range, Dangerfield is about as safe as it gets.
Ablett, injury cloud.
Fyfe, limited pre-season.
Pendlebury, potential role change? Also a few new midfielders in there.
Hannebery, depth of Sydney's midfield, and him not being the 1a midfielder means he could potentially be volatile.
Priddis, safe as houses, but probably the lowest ceiling.
Even if Danger starts a little slow, you won't have the money to upgrade to him yet, and by the time you do, he will be firing 130s every week, so will be 650k anyway. And his average over the season will level out.
Speculative calls on Pendles and Hanners. Dangerfield is playing for a new club, new game plan, new team mates. There's as much risk there, if not more, than taking Pendles and Hanners I would have thought.

Not saying his a bad pick though, he is currently in my side.

Pendles + danger probably the safest lot of the expensive mids. Both are very durable and produce big points. Imo theres a good chance that Pendles, Danger and Hanners will be top 3 mids for total points
 
Quoting you as saying "no chance" isn't misquoting you if you said "no chance", notwithstanding that you qualified it with "for mine".
Well it sort of is if removing words alter the meaning of what you are quoting, because then you're misrepresenting the intention of the sentence, which is therefore a misquote. Especially when you remove the part that qualifies that it's my opinion rather than fact, and then proceed to attack me for being misleading, which I wasn't being given I was stating my own personal opinion on what I think is going to transpire :p

Yes, you can leave out words you deem unnecessary in a quotation, but you can't take out words that will change its meaning.

For example, if the quotation is "This movie is wonderful drivel," you can't quote it as "This movie is wonderful . . ." and leave out the word "drivel," since it changes the meaning of the quotation.

Isn't it implied that it's your opinion rather than fact? Especially when one considers he already quoted you in full as saying "no chance for mine" in the conversation.

Pendles to spend more time across halfback

Ah. Thanks for that. Not as ideal as full-time mid, although Pendles will surely play a fair portion of the game in the middle. Will be interesting how he goes at half-back though, although he played a few games there late last year and scored well. Would imagine he would be the go to man out of defense so he should still see a good amount of the ball, and he naturally has always had a good disposal efficiency, so should keep the points ticking over even when at half-back. From a pies point of view, I personally would like him to take the kick ins, although there is no score for that IIRC, unless in a scoring chain or if kicked to oneself?

You're confused.

Here's the post accusing me of being misleading, with a misquote, and no quotation of my original statement ;)

I have no problem with that post, I'm talking about the post where he misquoted me :)
I'm not saying you have a problem with that post; I'm suggesting it's clearly implied that Parker being no chance to play forward is your opinion when one considers he'd already quoted you as saying "no chance for mine" in the earlier post.

I disagree. Happy to have alternative opinions.

For you to say he's "no chance" to play forward minutes is misleading.
To me, that is a totally different statement to: For your to say he's "no chance for mine" to play forward minutes is misleading, because an opinion can't be misleading; it's an opinion, rather than a statement of fact. Do you believe an opinion can be misleading?
