Player X or Player Y (Part II)

[srv23]

Can't decide on my last premium forward.

Stevie J v Pav v Harvey

I had a similar choice and have gone Stevie J

Derrickx vs Keefe for 4th ruck

Batchelor vs Toy

 

[Harry Freis Tash]

I'm doubting the amount of faith I'm showing in Vickery!

So what's your thoughts guys:

Vickery & Rockliff or Sandilands & Bewick

Also - I've got Boyd, Bartel, Pendles & A. Swallow - does anyone think Marc Murphy should be in before any of those guys?

Thanks in advance for suggestions/ advice

 

[Squall]

J.Tippett & Petrie

vs

Derickx & Knights


Having problems covering my rucks currently have Z.Smith & Derickx on the bench.
1st option gives me dp between rucks and fwd but hopefully petrie does not break down.

2nd option requires these ruck rookies to get selected or no bench cover

 

[JMc#5]

Derrickx vs Keefe for 4th ruck

Batchelor vs Toy

Depending on whether you need the cover for rd.1 if Keefe is named then go him as Derickx isn't playing... If purely there as 'hopeful' cover for late in the season then Derickx should play more games... Keefe will be out as soon as Reid/Maxwell come back (if he even gets selected).

Toy > Bachelor IMO... He will get enough games and be solid cover early on i think. In saying that though my knowledge on Bachelor is limited.



Charlie Dixon OR Jasper Pittard????

 

[Woody15]

Sandi and Bewick for me buddy !

 

[Main Man]

Tough one...

Irons: I think he will play rd.1 but could be out of the side fairly quickly if he doesn't perform well. Also has a tough game first up v the Pies.

Stanley: For mine, is one of the biggest locks of the back line as he's got a mature body and will play a half forward roll for the GC which they are probably lacking.

Bewick: Would take him over Curnow and i think he'll be a very good rookie as Brisbane need to keep trying some kids through the middle.

Batchelor: Unfortunately don't know too much about him but they raved about him on the OneHD program last night.

Depending where you have the other good cover. For example if your mid bench is stronger then go the Irons/Stanley option, whereas if your backs bench is strong look at Bewick/Bachelor.

Sorry not to help more than that... ideally you'd like Stanley/Bewick but i'm assuming cash is lacking...

For me...


Gram & Montagna

OR

Broughton/Enright & Selwood

Option 2 every day of the week, but would go Broughton. With option 2 you are getting 2 genuine premiums, even thought Montagna might average slightly more than Selwood come the end of the year it will not be by much and I think Selwood is more consistent in the sense that he will not through out a 65 like Montagna can. Broughton is as consistent as they come in the backline.

I will ask my question again but this time add an option of players which will hopefully help you with an answer.

Option 1:

M.Murphy + Stanley + Irons

Option 2:

Boak + Stanley + Bewick

Option 3:

M.Murphy + Batchelor + Bewick

The first 2 options leave me with around 2-3k in the bank the last option with only 200. Thoughts?

Option 3, Murphy will have a big year. Batchelor's playing rd one, and Bewick will be a great choice.


SANDLIANDS AND SWALLOW

OR

JOLLY AND FOLEY
???

 

[Harry Freis Tash]

Sandi and Bewick for me buddy !

Thanks bud ... yeah ... guess I needed someone to back up my own thinking! Cheers ... saddens me to punt Rockliff though - just think there's a big year ahead of him but I know the money making potential in Bewick is far greater

It leaves me some cash in hand ... is everyone sold on Grimes? I know his pre-season was good ... but ...

What about Grimes v Cameron Bruce?

Duffield v Broughton (Personally I think its a flip of the coin - and Duffield kicks more than Broughton)

I would choose Grimes over Bruce...and i agree, Duffield/Broughon is a toss of the coin. Duffield may kick more, but Broughton will rotate through the midfield.

I have a big dilemma....

MONTAGNA/HAYES and SHAUN HIGGINS

OR

SAM MITCHELL and ADAM GOODES

Please help

 

[cuzz is back]

Boyd vs Jimmy vs Marc Murphy

MONTAGNA/HAYES and SHAUN HIGGINS

OR

SAM MITCHELL and ADAM GOODES

Please help

I'm a big fan of getting Goodes in my side and when I crunched some numbers the other night I was really surprised by the stats for Sam Mitchell ... much better than I expected. He doesn't figure on many end of season lists because he only played 19 games last year so I think he sneaks in under the radar a bit and may be one of those unique picks.

That said - I promised myself I wasn't picking Higgins and just changed to him from Boomer to save some cash. And its the tackle count on Hayes that impresses me. But he'll cop the tag won't he? I'm really thinking I ned to try and work Marc Murphy into my team somehow - have you considered him?

If I flipped a coin I'd probably be hoping maybe 55 times out of 100 it landed on option 2 ... but that's a very tough decision indeed

 

[TheDonBomb]

Harry thanks a lot for your help...i agree, incredibly tough decision. I would pick Murphy before Mitchell however i am avoiding Carlton premiums due to my league win strategy.


Would it make it easier if i said:

MONTAGNA and HIGGINS

OR

MITCHELL and GOODES

???

also which would u choose from TAPSCOTT and DARLING.

Both are big mature bodies, but Tapscott is older and with some injuries at the Demons he looks to be set to play a fair bit early. Darling seems to have done well in the pre-season and he'll be playing in a weak team, although i have doubts about his state of mind and discipline... who will be the better early cash cow??

 

[CoDkiller]

Gilbert vs Grimes
Just under 50k difference. can afford either.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Last back - A guy that will be named but not likely to stay in long (eg Popolupo, O'Shea, Batchelor) vs Josh Toy.

 

[Dreambomber]

Gilbert vs Grimes
Just under 50k difference. can afford either.

Grimes.

Uncertainty about where Gilbert will play this season. He is also getting over pre-season dramas and the Saints have a tough match vs Geelong in rnd 1.

Mitchell vs M.Murphy

 

[Harry Freis Tash]

Mitchell vs M.Murphy

Marc Murphy would be my choice

 

[Bluesnozza]

Grimes.

Uncertainty about where Gilbert will play this season. He is also getting over pre-season dramas and the Saints have a tough match vs Geelong in rnd 1.

Mitchell vs M.Murphy

Murphy.

Got burnt by Mitchell last year when he sat on the pine with a 'hamstring strain' for 4/5 weeks. He'll also get the tag when Hodge isn't playing. Murphy is due a break out season and being surrounded by elite players like Judd and Gibbs should help him stay under the radar of opposition defences.


Charlie Dixon vs. Luke Tapscott.

 

[Harry Freis Tash]

Harry thanks a lot for your help...i agree, incredibly tough decision. I would pick Murphy before Mitchell however i am avoiding Carlton premiums due to my league win strategy.

Personally I'd take the Mitchell/ Goodes option

I've gone for Tapscott - just thinking he'll touch the ball a bit more than Darling will (maybe!)

 

[SandyMcManus]

Boak/Mitchell vs say Montagna/Prestia/Knights in the forward line instead of rookie

or

Boak/Mitchell vs any other midfields around the price

 

[Londolozi]

Higgins or Knights + $120k, finally down to my last descision

 

[SandyMcManus]

Higgins or Knights + $120k, finally down to my last descision

I don't trust Higgins really..if you haven't got any other Bulldogs he could be a good choice though.

I'd rather have Knights+Cash and use the cash to upgrade 2 premiums to 2 megapremiums

 

[tyram23]

hey guys really need some quick help on which player from gc to choose in defence out of tape toy and coad??? reasons as to why before lockout would be awesome!
cheers.

 

[tyram23]

and is kerr playing round 1?

 

[Harry Freis Tash]

and is kerr playing round 1?

He's certainly available ... but from pastexperience - don't pick Kerr ... he's not a DT'er!

I've gone Toy out of those other three options you raised

 

[tyram23]

anddd what is all the stress about otten being a sub? is it true he will suck? lol should i have mckernan instead so he can be multipositional?
