I've passed on Christensen. He's only good as an inside midfielder and not sure he'll get enough minutes there to make it worthwhile Spent the extra on Dunkley instead

Cheers, that's what I ended up landing on too

Fogarty vs English vs O'Connor ??

I said I wouldn't pick any Bulldogs (besides Naughton).... but Dunkley named in the guts has swayed me to back him. If he plays in the midfield most of the year I'll back him in to be a top 6 forward. Showed in his first year he can find the pill and not afraid to tackle. At sub-$300k, I just...

Is it just me, or after all the talk of the back rookies are we actually left with very few to choose from?? Doedee, Finlayson, Naughton, Murray and Murphy might be all we have to choose from. They're all good options, although Murphy seems to have pretty sketchy JS. But the talk of rookies...

First blunder for the year. Fiddling with the team and forgot to put the VC back on Dusty :mad:

Ended up taking neither Tiger. Lambert looked a dud. Graham was in my team all preseason until a few hours ago. Might regret that :(

Finals decisions : Lambert vs Roughy LDU vs Jack Graham Tempted to go the 2 Tiger boys based on being named in and guts and at haf-forward respectively. But I love Roughy and LDU looks like the type who'll build into the season as he adjusts to AFL and will make a solid M8 until the bye. Too...

Is Nic Nat a serious option if named? I'm thinking so. Also stuck on R2, was keen on Martin but getting cold feet.

Olango seems to be the most Sunday games of the R3 options at $102k. Not sure why people are thinking Cameron will play. No way they play him and Sinclair in the same team. No way he gets in front of Sinclair. Sinclair is injured but in the mix for round 1. Perhaps if Sinclair gets injured...

Haven't seen Boak move this preseason, but he has seemed cooked over the past 2 seasons. For a bloke rated one of the elite a few years ago when the Cats were chasing him, he's gone downhill majorly since then. Averages of 105, 99, 91,85 past 4 years spell it out perfectly. He couldn't get a...

Wife did her back so I could only get on for a few picks sorry. Also missed the first 5 picks. I have ended up with the #1 defender (Docherty) as well some young up and comers in N Jones, B Goddard and S Burgoyne :confused:

Walters, Sicily McLean. Not touching any bulldogs this year

Ditto

I've always thought the same, but recently changed my opinion. So there's a few guys who MIGHT get games. Lets assume they play and they average 60. During the other byes he can cover the other ruckman, assuming he has a different bye. That's only really helpful if he is significantly better...

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/dockers-training-drills-reveal-new-game-plan-for-2018-20180314-p4z4e8.html Recent drills have focused on quicker ball movement out of defence, according to Hagdorn, with specific players used to move the ball accurately up the corridor to give Fremantle's...

Being the Browns, chances are they'd just end up with 2 disappointments :D

Depends a little bit on the forward line and what rookies we have there. If we get enough to run with 4 there I might only go with 5 in defence. At this stage it's rookies starting D4, M8 and F5, but that's not how it will be at first bounce. I might have push it out to F6 potentially, even...

At the moment I have Coffield, Naughton, O'Shea, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray and Mihocek (7 but won't start them all). All look like legitimate selections and good cash cows, and there's potentially others also. Only Coffield and Finlayson have DPP which also needs to be taken into consideration.

It's looking more and more like stacking the defence with rookies is the approach for many. Any thoughts on what the potential downgrade options will be for us though? Talk of going in with up to 6 rookies in defence, worried we won't get the downgrade targets to make us of them...
