Need to bench two of Lewis/JJK/Franklin/Macaffer/Gray/Mayes...
I don't trust Crazy Vossy with his subs, so Mayes is automatically on my bench.
Of the rest, I'm thinking Spuddy has potential to go big against Port, but on face value he's the least consistent of the lot. I should bench him. But...
I'm thinking with the side West Coast have this week and the way the Fockers always play against them, it could be lean pickings for JJK. Am I crazy to consider benching the great man?

JK must be on the field for me. McPharlin is out and he'll probably get Silvagni and Dawson playing on him at various points, both of whom I'd back JK to beat.

Yea I am man, didn't word that right. Will definitely be getting Pendles next week, I have a full team now so it is just luxury upgrades from here on out. Whoever performs worse out of JPK/Swallow/Rocky is becoming Pendles next week.

Gonna be some heavy and consistent rain here today and tomorrow man. Don't bet on Buddy to go big. Safer bet would be to bench him, will probably be similar conditions to the Sydney game here 3 weeks ago.
In regards to JJK, no McPharlin this week could help him.
EDIT: As I wrote that it just started raining heavy outside my office!
Titchell V Ball?
I've locked in Titchell to be on field all week but am having slight second thoughts considering it's Ball's 200th etc. Or should I put Ball on ahead of Swallow/Cotchin?

I think you've sold me. JJK is a beast as well. Just thinking reverse jinx by benching him could see him go full on monster.
But yeah... Spuddy has been shocking and unlikely to pull his finger out at this stage.

I think it is the safer option... but doesn't really mean it will be the right one. Buddy always has the potential to go huge, odds of that happening though after his form this year is low. Watch him go huge though just to piss you off! lolI think you've sold me. JJK is a beast as well. Just thinking reverse jinx by benching him could see him go full on monster.

Hodge or Tom Mitchell?
beez
A*mazing
I've got no answers, just letting you know I have the same problem and have NFI what I'm going to do

Bench Gray or Cyril for DT elite. I'd say Cyril will avoid the vest but in an AFL article he said he will play more FWD time. Gray has been in good form but it's going to be wet and they are playing a strong hawks team...

Nah Gorringe did sweet **** all around the contest, wouldn't have affected Nicholls' scoring at all really. Hall is in the side, has been playing very well in the 2's getting named in the BOG's for ages. He will pinch hit in the ruck, don't think Nicholls' scoring will be helped.

Even still I'm tempted to go Nicholls over Franklin. Franklin is playing Port in Adelaide. Wouldn't be surprised Port won.

I think I'm going to stick with Ball on the pine. I could be wrong (or more likely, will be) but even if he plays amazingly well I can't see him scoring much more than 120. Less of a risk than the others probably.
No doubt I'll change my mind in five minutes though.

I don't believe I am asking this but bench one of Duddy, Macaffer, Rockliff?
I think you've sold me. JJK is a beast as well. Just thinking reverse jinx by benching him could see him go full on monster.
Your logic is undeniable.

B.Goodes or Rockliff?
Rockliff should play much more in MF this week with Moloney and Black out, and only Polkinghorne named as in. But who knows with Voss....
B. Goodes at Etihad, where he hasn't scored that well against Melbourne teams (of course small sample size)

I've got a few tough decisions on who to start:
B.Goodes vs Hanley
Goodes hasn't played the Bombers yet while Hanley only got 60-odd last time against North and he will likely get a tag. Goodes seems to be the safer option while Hanley has a higher scoring potential
O'Meara vs Ball vs Titchell vs Fyfe vs Dalziell
One to miss out and be the emergency. Leaning towards O'Meara at this stage
Gawn vs Nicholls
Gawn has scored around 100 the last two weeks, while Nicholls has been around the 70-mark. Can Gawn keep it up or is Nicholls a better option?

I'd risk Hanley, for the bigger upside. I'd also let Dalzeill ride the pine, he's still a bit unknown and Freo can do a job on DT points sometimes. As for Gawn/Nichols I've been having the same problem. This week I give it a coint flip, while Gawn has taken the number 1 ruck spot I think Geelong are going to decimate them leading to a lower score (50-70), so probably stick with Nichols (without Gorringe) at Metro.
