JDavey didnt ask one, so ill throw this out there.
C Knights Vs C Yarran for my 5th forward spot. Maybe even Gamble?

I think there is some question still about Yarran.
Knights and Gamble are both great value at different prices.
Knights upside is huge IF he stays fit. He is great JS; probably rated i their top 6 players.
Gamble has less JS but my guess is that he will cement a slot as Saints need the role he plays.
GAMBLE V KRAKOUER?

Pavlich or Brent Stanton for my 3rd Mid spot?
Pav is $20,000 cheaper but seems just a tad less reliable. He might get a lot of midfield time this season with barlow, ibbo and morabito all to have lengthy time on the bench.
The other concern is I also have Zhaharakis in my mid, so thats 2 'Dons in my midfield if I stay with Brent.

It's very hard to give a definitive answer to that question. Stanton should average more than Pav, plays a DT friendly game as shown by his scoring on Friday night. Zaha can be moved around so I wouldn't be too concerned about having two Dons players on the same line. I would however be concerned about the fact that Essendon have the bye in the final round so you'd be saving a trade specifically for any Essendon players you have left.
Pav is MID/FWD which helps.
If you don't mind saving a trade for Stants then take the dive, he (IMO) will have a ball-tearer of a year.
Pendles vs. Andrew Swallow? Swallow slightly better value? Should improve, Pendles may drop with the MN craziness after round 4.
Dunn - Well Done
Cancelled
- Banned
- #332
I would never pick Pavlich as a 3rd mid, def go Stanton. No need to even say why.
The magic number will affect every player after round 4? will it not. Pendles may have a little charp drop, but planning for this is like planning for the world to end. He could avg 110 and stay fairly steady and not drop too much at all in his first few games. Not hard considering the pies start.
I like both picks, but id prefer to go with Pendles. I dont know how much higher Swallow can go, his disposal by foot needs to improve and im unsure if he is considered to have a massive tank or not? but he doesnt seem to be racking up high 20, 30+ disposals. He relies on tackles alot. Pendles knows how to find 35~ disposals Swallow doesnt. Pendles can lay 6-8 tackles, Swallow will consistantly give 6-8 tackles.
Both good picks, cant go to wrong but i marginally prefer Pendles due to the above and other things.
Bartel should still be considered strongly.
My forward line consists of;
Franklin, Didak, Sylvia, SJ, M.Morton, Zaharakis, Krak (Matera,Richo,Callinan)
Thinking of re-adjusting
(Zaharakis to Gamble/Knights and Morton to any other premium forward)
(Zaharakis to Gamble and use the cash elsewhere)
Or also in midfield
Swan, Boyd, Montanga, Foley, Swallow, Mzungu (Harris, Hibberd, Smith)
Foley or Masten?

I like Boyd the best.
Ablett is the ideal upgrade target after both byes done early.
Strijk or Duncan
Other option I know but These 2 are my roughies. But only will take 1.
Yeah agreed Strijk has better JS but Duncan looks good and hoping he could get some of Ablett's midfield time with all attention on Selwood, Chappy, Bartel etc
I would keep Zaharakis. Your mids are great but I think better value can be found other than Monty. I would downgrade Monty to someone still good but 70-80k cheaper (and I love Monty btw) and upgrade Morton. Upgrade to Monty later as he should be able to be picked up cheaper plus it helps your round 4.
edit
Personally for me
Monty >>> Thompson, cooney, griffen, anthony, Priddis, Scotland, Prismall, Watson
Morton >>> Riewoldt or Goodes
Well different opinions are what sets teams apart. No I won't be touching Morton at 315k Not a keeper in my opinion. I can see you going for best keepers with 3 in mids and then trying to generate cash so that is fine if you sticking with Morton.
I welcome and will take on board any advice as ive never finished in Top 10,000 and have won the minor premership 6 years running only to lose in the pre-lim or grand final. Always for short and i dont know if its my starting team or trading during the year.
Backs:Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Adock, Otten, Heppell (Toy, Diugan, Jacobs)
Mids: Swan, Boyd, Montanga, Foley, Swallow, Mzungu (Harris, Hibberd, Smith)
Rucks: Cox, Petrie (Smith, Moran)
FWDS: Franklin, Sylvia, Didak, SJ, Morton, Zaharakis, Krak (Matera, Callinan, Richo)
Having 127k in bank
Agree on not touching Morton ,feel the tigers have a greater spread this year, foley back too, don't expect Morton to bust out, will be solid though.
Sylvia v Gree v J Brown
and
Tapscott v I Smith (already have Richardson, Callinan and Matera)

Wanting to take 1 of the following 4
Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Scully or Trengrove.. all around the 300k mark and would expect all to play every game and average about 85-90

Pendles is an upgrade target for me, am not keen on starting both him and Swan in the midfield and having both sit through byes in Rounds 7 and 12 (from memory) as well as Didak and maybe Krakouer. Swallow is also a fair bit cheaper from memory allowing money to be spent elsewhere
I think Sylvia is ready to explode. Green is another year older and Brisbane is in allsorts of trouble
I dont know if either Tapscott or Smith will get games; I'll be staying away from both unless something changes pre-season. If you can afford the 128 go for Prestia; I reckon he will play and can get the ball.
Which 2/3 of these would you choose in the forward line????
Gamble (157) V Krakuoer (139) V Prestia (128)
This depends a lot on Prestia. If Prestia rips it up for the remainder of the preseason and looks a lock for selection come round 2, I'd pick Prestia and Krakouer. I think Krakouer's scoring potential is a little bit higher than Gamble's and DP helps too.
However, if Prestia's place in the team is far from guaranteed then I would go Gamble and Krakouer. It would allow you have a good look at Prestia to determine if he's worth taking, and give you the chance to trade out one of your under performing rookie forwards (which could be one of Krakouer/Gamble)
Ok, here's one for the backline:
Bruce + Adcock ($637,800) vs. Grimes + Greenwood ($635,000)
Being stuck as a forward killed Leon Davis' scoring. The signs from the NAB Cup were that Krakour had been dealt the same fate.
Bit of risk in both choices (durability of adcock and grimes), but i think it really comes down to if you think Greenwood is going to have a ripper year or not. Personally i think Bruce + Adcock is safer bet, partly because its what more people will be doing and partly because of the uncertainty behind greenwoods possible points output.
Jolly + D. Swallow VS Sandi + 100k rookie (ie. C. Beams)

Personally would go the 2nd option as a 100k rookie has a better chance of matching Swallows scores than Jolly would at matching Sandi's, also expect a bigger price rise from the 100k rookie (considering you find the right one).
Bit of a complicated one:
Conca (mid), J Watts (fwd) + Krakouer (fwd)
or
Krakouer (mid), L Henderson (fwd) + Prestia (fwd)
Already have Mzungu as dp in the mids so thats not a major concern, was impressed with how Henderson finished out last season and see big improvement from him, from Watts also but Henderson is closer to his peak in terms of his physical attributes. Prestia JS is a worry, anyone know if Conca will be a walk up starter for the Tigers?
I'm no expert on the North side, by Sean Atley at $97K looks like a very likely option
