I’m liking the look of Devon. Starting to think I’ll revert back to the F1-4 I had from day one. Whitfield, Devon, Steven, Brayshaw

Worth noting no Heppel/Clarke/Hibberd today

True. I like Devon as an option though as he’s a top 6 forward. Parish is an interesting option up forward too

Have had Devon and Whit since day 1 and the other two were a wait and see given all the other cheap forwards floating around. Well.. I waited.. and I saw. Only issue is that it probably means Naismith R2 or a 4-4 midfield.

I’ve had to go 4-4 mids and Naismith R2 to fit those forwards in. Not locked, but strongly considering it

I like Devon because he doesn’t really need much of the ball to pile on the points. Really fills up the other stats and will kick a goal a game. In saying that though.. he has only had one good fantasy year..
Thoughts on Townsend? Has needed 3 goals to get to his 50 odd but has probably cemented his spot
Worth paying the extra $$ for over Rankine, Taylor, Davis, King?

Could you go, Townsend F5 and Taylor F6 with a bench of Rankine and King/Davis?
The 4 I’ve suggested probably have similar scoring potential and job security at a cheaper price though?

Possibly. Townsend just feels a little safer to me. But you could rotate the 4 given their opponents from week to week and how they’re scoring

Now comes the dilemma whether Dev and Steven are worth the extra 100-150k

Jeez McGrath would be the biggest lock if he could have held defender status, little cheaper than the Worpel, Walsh, Adams types.
Could you do it?
Could you do it?
Ablett 24 from 87% time on ground, he’s obviously not an option but it hurts watching a former first selection in most people’s sides and a champion of the game absolutely turn to sh*t. It is only Marsh series but I can only see him go down again.
His breakout will come, it’s almost overdue. I’ve always thought once he does break out he’ll be a star. There is a few cheaper midfield options which makes it harder.
Side is now locked and loaded pending teams. Have spent up a little on my bench with
$170k x 4
$189
$217
$218
$228
Meaning hopefully no major changes

Jeez that game has thrown a few spanners into the works - relatively happy with my team, just need to finalise my fwd line. Toying between:
1) Devon and Ainsworth (smashed it in Marsh)
2) Macpherson and Petracca
3) Steven and Petracca
Feel that all three have upside but also considerable potential for disaster...

Think I'm gonna go Long, with his role off half back. Looks good for a 70 or so, if he plays. Same price but much more upside than Atkins with his role
Also, if you guys are interested, Tuohy has apparently had a stellar pre-season and in his own words 'got a lot of his zip back.' Looks like he'll take some points away from Stewart and could be good for mid 80's to low 90's if he gets back to his best. Only around 500K and priced at 67. Zuthrie a sneaky chance to play Round 1 after a really impressive hitout today (surprising even to me). Kennerley no chance to play Round 1 after that.

Bolter in the frame to fill second ruck spot for Eagles
Ruck bolter Bailey Williams looks ready to press his claims for round one selection in Friday's intraclub hitout

Would be super handy if he can claim that back up spot.

1) Dev is bloody expensive. I think you can play the wait and see game with him. Out of 8 seasons, he has cracked the 20 game mark in 3 of them. Durability issues and Bombers still have Hep/Clarke + potentially Hibberd to come into that midfield. Ainsworth is a shoe in to up his average. Has two injury affected games in his average from last year and is looking primed for a big one. Role is a big one with him. Certainly a worthy option
2) Personally can't split them Trac is cheaper?
3) I'm still wary of Steven and his old man calves but he did look good. Still think Trac looks good too. Both? Haha
Probably more of a Supercoach lock, but Zerk-Thatcher will have some great value at 312k too

Strongly considering him. Taking 2 of Cumming, Madgen and BZT at D5 and D6. Feels dirty, but there’s nothing there and those 3 have looked pretty good
