    Forwards 2016

    It is posted in another thread JOM has had a setback and his return is likely to be delayed 6 weeks. I'm pretty sure I've read that Swallow will now be out until the byes. Should we be considering A. Hall now do you think? Not sure how Prestia is going but didn't play tonight.

    Gold Coast Bulletin is reporting on Lonergan that scans have cleared him of any major injury and that while he will be sore for a couple of days it will not interrupt his preseason. Link here...

    Depth: you've got 3 guys you think will be keepers down back and 4 guys who you think will be keepers up forward so depth wise you're fine (whether you've picked the right keeper no one can tell you at the moment). With regard to shuffling your rookies - don't sweat it - wait and see who is...

    Wow. That backline looks flimsy. You might only have one keeper. If Houli doesn't match last year you might have no real backline keepers there. The rest of your structure looks similar to mine but it means you are pretty thin in the forward line as well. I guess what I'm saying is the team...

    Ever read The Grade Cricketer on Twitter? He's hilarious. Apparently in his world "champing" someone is pretty much the worst thing you can do to a bloke ...

    Oh well ... given the rest of my team is looking *famous last words* completely cast iron I can probably afford to spec one player in the backline ... :rolleyes:

    Midfield 2016

    If we take Lonergan we are taking him on potential rather than track record ... has only played a handful of games and while he has tonned up here and there his averages have been low. Could be a stepping stone. Would need more than a couple of steps forward to become a keeper, right? Needs to...

    Not sure Goldy is the over priced player to bet against. If you need to save money bet against Shaw. Bet against Joey. Bet against Lids. Prefer to overpay for Goldy if you're going to over pay for anyone ...

    Ablett, Fyfe, Pendles and Danger

    It twisted my team into a knot so I can put in Fyfe, Pendles, GAJ, Danger, Rocky and Libba. Obviously it can only work if the rooks fall in the right places. If I have to drop one it will probably be Fyfe - Fyfe or Danger - but I want them all.

    Yeah, there is s 10 minute Q&A posted on Pendles Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/events/1742224746000870?view=permalink&id=1743533505869994 Not sure if that link will work but Pendles says there: "good preseason for me and it's the 10th in a row that I haven't missed to many sessions, ...

    The year of the midpricer

    I've called my team "The Beardy Manbuns" this in honour of Gibbs and Jake Batchelor and that squibby little guy from Port ... can't remember his name. Is it Aaron Young? Then I tried making a team with all guys with bad haircuts. It looked pretty bad so I think there might be something in the...

    Good team. A few primos different but structure similar to what I have at the moment. Is it too much to hope that Lonergan, Williams, and Bird all come off? I guess as long as 2/3 go OK you'd still work out well for you ...

    Well set out argument. Not sure you are using the word "ceiling" in a way that I've seen it used before. I usually take it to mean how high the maximum individual scores from a player might be - Stef has posted scores in the 140-160 region meaning - to me at least - his ceiling is OK. I...
