Position 2019 Defenders

Cuningham LOCKED in.

Nice POD. Sounds like he has really lifted this preseason and is ready to rock.
All the best tonight mate

Nervous as **** and not expecting a win and just a Red hot crack with 110% effort will do me.

If we win even better!

D is locked in



Lightweight baby!

Adelaide fans: what do you think the return of Smith and (apparent) rise of Milera means for Laird? He's clearly the second most reliable defender, but do you believe he will be able to sustain his output from the previous two years?

Brisbane fans: thoughts on Andrews? If Adams can get and stay fit it could be huge for Andrews' SC future. But is he a worthwhile risk after the concussion?

Laird is an elite player and a ball magnet. Will do as he pleases as ever.

 

[SSwans2011]

FYI Mills named at BP. I've traded him out for Andrews which I bet will come back to bite me on the ass.

 

[BigRang]

Scrimshaw Vs Collins? Thoughts?

Scrimshaw Vs Collins? Thoughts?

I think Collins has better JS. Read he averaged 124 SC points in the VFL last year, but he'll probably be hurt by Thompson's ACL, forced to take bigger lads and not able to take as many intercept marks.

Not sure why we're meant to believe Scrimshaw will now be AFL-level. Not that he won't, but people are putting a lot of faith in him over some of the other options IMO.

 

[BigRang]

Thanks, you've basically confrimed what my own gut was already telling me...
Now watch Collins blow a hammy and Scrimmers score 100...

Will be enough for me to lose interest at round 1 as compared to the bye rounds like I usually do.

 

[Battlepants]

I have Aaron Francis who has been named on the extended bench. That's going to cause me a lot of anxiety until they actually name the teams on... Saturday?

 

[COKEandCOLA]

I'm running with this midprice line up, I think my D1-D4 could all make the top 6-8 defenders.

I'd be a bit weary of Mills for the first few rounds at the very least. He's been named at BP, and in the backline he has generally averaged <80. I think the excitement around him as a prospect was he was told he would spend more time in the mids this year.

I wanted him in my team, but I'm personally holding off for now. Traded him for Andrews (which probably isn't helpful if you don't have a spare 53k).

I've only got $12,700 left over mate.

I definitely hear you though and it was a tough decision.

I don't think that I can afford anyone else anyway.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

WaynesWorld19 bad news seems eveyrone is picking Milera late. U shouldnt have posted ur team

I expected at least that there would be some discretion over Coaches POD's .......they respected that with Here2tellyouwhy selection of Barrass .....confused

Ah yes, that's a shame. He's not a bad pick regardless. Could easily prove me wrong with a string of 90s. I predict he'll be spending time in the mids, particularly towards the end of the season, regardless, so there's definitely value there.

 

[stevebbb]

Don't tell anyone but Houli represents far better value than Short.

Did you start with him? Big score coming up from Bash

 

[Waspy79]

Stupidly no. Did a rejig and ended up with Witherden instead. Houli was a very safe bet at $400k. He still is.

 

[LegendLewis]

Team Sheet listing of interest.
Zak Jones named in the centre.
Only played JLT2 - 75SC from 51%TOG

 

[Waspy79]

Newman suddenly a must-own.....

 

[blackshadow]

Newman suddenly a must-own.....

An add to the watch list at the moment...

 

[kreglze]

Newman is a watch this space...

If he can do it 2 weeks in a row, then we look to make changes.

 

[kool kangas]

l have $115,000 in the bank and l'm deciding whether to keep Francis (Ess) as he is named on the bench. So do l keep him or find another player . Who else could l get for around $465,000. l already have Crisp, Newman, Smith and Williams.Thanks

Don't think you need to worry about being named on the bench. With 120 rotations or whatever it is a game he's going to stay there for 5 minutes max (if he even starts there - they don't have to start in their named positions pretty sure). Plus they named Mitch Brown on a half back flank - gives you an idea of the importance of the starting positions.

If you thought he'd be a 90+ keeper before the teams were named, no need to change now.

 

[Glorin]

Milera, Mills or neither?
Feeling I am too mid pricey in def.

 

[SterlingArcher]

IF Norths defence continues to be peppered surely Macmillan is going to get 11-12 kickouts a game at least...wouldn't write him off yet for seagulling his way to CD fame
