    2017 Backline Midpricers

    Both? I'm struggling to make room for Marchbank. Sounds like you might be an even bigger penny puncher than I am.

    2017 Rate My Team

    Looks solid. From what I've seen of Parfitt I think he worth a spot on field. Dan Houston is a bit of a worry. Great disposal stats but how many half backs have Port got coming back in the next few weeks?

    2017 Team Structure

    3/0/5 4/3/4 1/1/1 3/1/4 Still one or two possies are fluid. If Zach Guthrie doesn't get an upgrade I may have to find a way to get Marchbank in. Probably a forward primo down to a midpricer or rookie.

    2017 Forward Primos

    I coming back to Caddy a bit. I want one more primo forward and after the two Dogs boys I just can't settle on anyone.

    SC leagues invite other than SCC leagues.

    Proud to be part of anything associated with a famous ex-Tigers player. Changed my team name back to last years team name The Beardy Manbuns just to confuse everyone.

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    Goldstein (R1) and Pickett (F7) - meaning Parfitt is F5 and Eddy F6 or Buddy (F2) and Witts (R2) - Parfitt is F6 and Eddy bench cover In both cases I have Cameron R3 and no other ruck cover (I also have Sandi in both scenarios).

    Option 1 for me. With Parfitt (as long as selected) on field instead of Miles.

    Ugh. Don't remind me. I was thinking he reminded me a bit of Jay Kennedy-Harris (was that his name?) the Melbourne forward pocket. I kind of agree but Carlton are going to get belted this year so home much opportunity is Pickett going to get? He may freeze to death sitting in Carlton's forward...

    2017 Ruck Cover

    So you are you taking Toby as FWD line cover? Or looking to a playing Cameron or English?

    Except for R1 vs Carlton. I might put him on the field for that.

    2017 Rookies

    Butler's been on the list for a couple of years already which I like. He is a real small forward so could very easily score poorly and not make much money. If you think the Tiges are going to go badly this year Butler might be a pretty poor pick. Carlton R1, Collingwood R2, WCE at the MCG R3...

    2017 Forward Midpricers

    Based on his past record you would think that a 90 average would be the bottom end of expectations rather than the top. The question is what effect the cancer treatment and the year out will mean as the year goes on and there really is no way to know this for sure. Based on his price, the fact...

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    I don't see him as a top 2-3 ruck. Potentially a top 5-10 forward. But can he keep solo rucking all year? You've got to back your gut feel in situations like this though. Nothing worse than picking someone you didn't - Lumumba - want to pick in the first place and have them turn out to be a bust.

    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    Well I can see why he is in the discussion. If he scored 91+ and saves you from at least 1 ruck donut he's a good pick at his price. And that sort of return doesn't seem outlandish. Plus it looks a weak year for forwards this year. Similar age to Grundy. Even if Nank hits a wall good chance that...

    Selwood and Danger are the two full priced mids who haven't left my team. I've got space for one more before Fyfe at F4. Pendles, Treloar, Hanners in serious consideration. Rocky and Cotchin in less serious consideration. Likely to play it safe and go Pendles. A lot of good judges seem to be...

    Hehehe. @Prospector consider yourself put in your place. :p ... I did think it was a trifle harsh counting that as two "if"s given he was essentially making the same point twice. @M4TT B8S - you make a good case. I'm going to go back and look at Steele closely now. I hadn't really even...

    I've got the money to go either and I've picked Jelwood by choice. I think if you sit down and look at their records Jelwood is the better SC player, at least so far. Did you see Jelwood's hand last year? It was broken or had something seriously wrong with it but he played through and ended...
