    Players X. vs Y. vs Z.

    Taranto and Swallow and pocket the change. I'm a stingy bastard.

    2017 Rate My Team

    Yeah that is fair I reckon. I'm still holding Swallow + Taranto + Marchbank so I don't think I can go anymore expensive rookies without capsizing my team.

    Because he is a shade below top class (in SuperCoach terms).

    2017 Rate My Team

    I reckon the prob with the original team might be one too many expensive rookies. I'd have gone SPP to M8, Taranto to F6, Pickett in at M9, and McCarthy nowhere.

    Is your name not Bruce? Hmmm, that's going to cause a little confusion around here ...

    You'd picking him as a stepping stone right? In which case Thurlow at 40K cheaper. Or Marchbank 70K cheaper. Unless you think he's a 307K keeper?

    Funny you should say that. I haven't had a donut if my draft team for the last week or so. Danger C for the first couple of week after which time one of my rookies will probably have got injured or dropped and maybe they can be a donut. Otherwise downgrade to a donut after about six weeks. Could...

    2017 Ruck Cover

    Options for ruck cover: 1/ Ryder in the forward line - now he has actually played a good game with not Lobbe 2/ Nank in the forward line - looking good, has only played a handful of game at the top level and it is a long season. Similar age to Grundy. 3/ Witts at R3 - means I'd have to make...

    2017 Forward Primos

    Thanks @tabs and @Benj. The knock on him was that he always missed a few games but played the full quota last year. Magnificent sight when in full flight. It is not so much that I'm short on other lines at the moment it is more I'm short of reserve cash. Only 5K in the bank in the current...

    2017 Forward Primos

    Well, yes, Buddy and Roo should both be pretty strong starting picks as long as they stay on the park. And there is no particular reason to doubt their fitness that I know of.

    2017 Forward Primos

    @tabs and @Benj and any other Swannies out there ... what are your feelings about Buddy as a starting pick this year? Looked to be moving well in JTL3. I want a 3rd primo after Dahl and Macrae and there are only about four other blokes who look like they qualify as actual forward line primos...

    What did Parker, and Hanners and JPK score in those games? What is going to happen when the real stuff starts? I'm not saying don't pick Lloyd but think think you have to be twice as sure with a breakout as you are with a fallen primo ... I watched the last game and Hanners didnt look like he...
