neither. Yarran wont play that well this year and Ziebell is unlikely to get gfame time.
What about Mitch Brown or Mitch Thorp?
even Wade Thompson would be a better prospect for you..

I agree?! Weninrome - what is this based on? Cos he's udner laidley?
Whats your comment on yarran based on? Cos he struggled in round one of Nab?? He looked good in week three!
Tuck for me.
Anyone else think daniel wells is good value ?? I think hes in for a huge year and has said he wants to work on his consistency and to repay the club for showing faith in him
Would you of said that before the NAB cup scores?
Will play round 1 and will get decent TOG, will definitely make you some cash.

Porp probably wont play round 1 at this stage, even if he does he may take a few weeks to fire up after having a short pre-season. Go with Thomas out of those.
Daisy: bit iffy on position etc (watch the gf for more info)
Porps: injury
T.Cloke: good value at 330k and averaged 92 in the nab cup
ROK: consistent but dont see much upside
So if it was me i would go for Cloke
Yeh had a convo last year about 2009 season and he was my pick to improve to elite level. His second half to the 2008 was pretty good i thought. Turning 25 and will be in his prime and see a lot more consistency i think. What do you think lakey?
wat about in the mids having some difficulty also having some money spare from the choice of daisy wuld you go for L davies, J selwood, Boomer, Cooney or Black or anyone else you rckn under 420,000
cheers

I think in nab its hard to get a grasp on players when they arnt copping a tag.
Don't know if this is the right thread for this or not... but anyway.
My midfield currently looks like this:
Ablett, Bartel, Kornes, Judd, Ziebell, Beams (Robinson, Davenport)
Is it worth having both Ablett and Bartel or should I downgrade one and get two mid priced players?
If I do I can afford players like Masten and Skipworth.
Thoughts?

theyre basically all the same, i'd go option two but without haselby, i dont like him much for some reason...
now
(4th FWD + 7th DEF)
Fev + S.Hill
vs
Raines + Daisy/Osborne/Cloke/etc.
i love seeing fev kick a bag/play the pies, but worried about Hill and if he is ready enoguh to play as a starter.
whereas raines is must have, but means i have to ease up on the 4th fwd.will raines be able to get the numbers he's getting with the full backline in?
i sorta can't stand having pies in my team, but yeh, ive heard mixed opinions on cloke, would he be a viable option or would the running fwds be more likely to rack up the scores. thoughts?

Swan and yarran

selwood and krakour

Tough one mate because I don't think both Yarren and Krakour are guarenteed a spot in their side's best 22, and if they are, for how long? One poor perormance could see them drop straight out.
I'd go the latter because I see more value in Selwood this year over Swan and I think Krakour will play a bit more than Yarren - Probably score better too if he picks up the Peter Burgoyne roll in Port's backline.
Roughead Vs Sylvia (I'm 1K short of getting ROK)

I'll answer all the unanswered ones from this page.
None of them, Bradd Dalziell. But from that list I'd go Selwood.
I'd go Sylvia. Great end to '08 with a 93 average in the last 7 rounds. Like it or not, Roughy's points will be stolen by Franklin all year. He'd had a great pre-season up til now but I bet he didn't score as well as he had before last night with Buddy back and firing. But, if you have Houlihan in the backs like most people do, I'd swap him to the forwards because there are better options in the backs at that price range (Cornes, Bock, Lockyer, H Shaw) than there are in the forwards.
First thing is don't let bias get in the way of picking a good team. I had Burton, Symes and Porplyzia last year and they all served me well. I don't really rate any of the forwards you've listed, but I think Hill and Raines will both be good picks. Both are in my backline. Don't get sucked in by Cloke's NAB scores, he's been playing on young defenders every week and did very little against the Cats. I think Daisy is the most likely to improve from those options though, so I'd go Daisy and Raines.
First one is a very interesting question. If left to his own devices Pendlebury would easily be the better option, but he often gets tagged, whereas Knights's bad disposal means he doesn't get tagged ever. Plus Knights is one of the best PPM players going around, and surely he'll eventually start getting more game time (only played an average of 82 minutes last year) I think Knights is the safer option, but your team wouldn't be disadvantaged if you had both IMO.
As for the other one, Ottens easily. Cheaper and likely to score better, and having a decent pre-season, definitely better than he did last year. Plus Fraser's in doubt for Round 1.
It's not the right thread ... but anyway
That's really a personal preference question, there's no right or wrong answer. Personally I think having Ablett, Bartel and Kane Cornes is overkill when there are other positions that need that money more. Also, I see Bartel as more of an upgrade target player, as he seems to do his best work in the second half of the year. And I wouldn't be all that confident of two of Ziebell, Beams, Robinson and Davenport playing every week either. I'd be downgrading Bartel to a Tuck and upgrading Davenport to a Haselby.

It doesn't matter how 'big' your forward line is in Dream Team, all that matters is how they score. IMO Fev and Roughead are both unlikely to improve too much. I'd either trade one down to a Higgins, Skipworth or Krakouer and use the extra money to trade the other one up to a gun, with enough money left over to trade Daisy to a surefire keeper, or just trade them both down to some of those players and use the money in other areas, because if you're spending that much money in your forwards you must have some other weaknesses.

Adcock + N Krak vs Malceski + Lucas
Or downgrade someone else to get the cash for Adcock and Lucas? This might be my preferred option.
