Always thought Gray may be an injury risk 
I like him but I'd be worried about his spot in the team. Probably won't play every game and is an outsider for round 1. Need a few injuries to get him in safely. Won't score well either when he does play and isn't as cheap as others that will.
In a word no. But you're right it's getting closer to his time to shine but not in DT land.
According to afl site Gray is only a 50/50 chance for round 1...... Bit concerning.

Are you really going to not pick someone just because they are likely to miss 1 game? I'm assuming he will be right for round 2 at least.
yeh thats what im thinking. Drop him to ziebel who should score close to him and very good upside or an extra 30 k will get you murphy. I rekon ziebel + 40 k sounds like the way to go tho...
if he wasnt already injury prone then i wouldnt worry. But he is already injury prone so to already be having injury concerns isnt a good sign.

Well a lot of people would have Buddy in their sides (myself not included), so I'm sure no one would want to start of DT copping a 0 or having to play 2 forward reserves. Also I'd be trying to avoid a player coming off of a hamstring injury. He was already a bit of a risky pick before he got injured.
Niggling issues like hamstrings and back have a habit or popping up again and again. Gray's already a risky pick being that he's priced at 70ppg and you'd pick him expecting 85+. Misses one or two games and over the 22 rounds that's 180 plus points he owes you.
Only thing with picking Zeibal is can he average enough for him to be worth picking up instead of Grey, I wouldn't be expecting Zeibal over 80, and I think he is overrated anyway. So even if Grey misses the first round it is still worth picking him over Zeibal in my opinion.
true there isnt a whole lot below him which look like scoring half as well as him. the other option is go find 30+ k and your starting to get up to some pritty good forwards who could become keepers. Perhaps a better option than downgrading him to and equally as injury prone ziebel

If i downgrade Maguire to Silvagni to can upgrade Gray to Murphy.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
This trade is a sideways trade. Gray and Murphy will average similar if both are uninjured, maguire is injury prone and Silvagni could have job security issues. If the decision must be made, i'd do the downgrade/upgrade.
My big dilemma is for the last spot on my forward bench
pods (1st emg, job security) / gumbleton (doesnt have a body) / petereson (job security)/ robbie tarrant ( unknown) / duncan ( job security) / hitchcock (wade thompson nightmares) / rockliff (1st emg, job security)
Who would you pick, in what order, and why??

Answer (In an ideal world): None of the above.
Having said that, I have picked two of them: Gumby & Hitchcock.
I would rank them in this order:
Hitchcock (seems to be ahead of Banner in the Port line up & Port are only missing Hartlett & Rodan)
Gumbleton (Excellent job security, can he stay on the park?)
Duncan (Poor job security, in for Varcoe or Stokes or Hogan, when one of these return out goes Duncan)
Rockliff (Next in line, if he puts on a few good performances he could cement a spot)
Podsiadly (Backup for injury to one of Mooney, Hawkins or Ottens. Hawkins would carry some of the ruck work allowing Pods to slip in if Ottens goes down)
Peterson (Too many Hawks players out. He would have to play some blinders to keep a spot)
Robbie Tarrant (Anyones guess)
I have mine a little bit different.
Am going with Gumby and Peterson after swapping between Duncan and Hitchcock.
Clarkson wants to play a more mobile ruckman, I think that Peterson will help out here for 10% of the game as well as all the forward line ruck duties when Roughy is in the square. He has a massive leap, much like Paddy.
The more concerning thing is all the injury concerns to Forwards in the last few days. Gray, Ballantyne, Campbell. Who the hell is going to be my 7th forward. I don't feel comfortable going with Ballantyne and Campbell due to their scares. They were my first 2 choices. Now I am left to choose between Mayne, Warren and Wright, none of which i have much confidence locking in. HMmm
do not rate danger at all. as a dter anyway.
how much do you see wright averaging?
mayne has at least the security in the team and also, if he so much as maintains his average of last year his price will already go up 40k as he is 20% discounted..
Decisions...
Carl Peterson play as a ruck? the boy is only 4cm taller than Marc Murphy and weighs 70kg. lol
have you ever watched him play?

Screw it, taking a gumble with Gambleton
Are people really that confident that Rockliff will get a game in Round 2?

Nope. If he couldn't get a game off his preseason form, I can't see him getting too many TBH
