Fantasy Freako has just retweeted a post from Pendles saying he won't be playing back this year - normal role and maybe a bit more resting forward with the reduced rotations.

Yes - that's what I was referring to - the round 23 break. I did see that quote from Scott and it does have me a little convened ...

I'll be letting Maxy run against me I reckon. Lowrider says 110-115 but there is little exposed form (only played 39 games across half a dozen seasons) so I think you'd be taking him a bit more in hope that expectation ... He did score a couple of big scores last year but they were against...

Exactly what I have at the moment: 3 Backline keepers (one a bit speculative) 6 Deep in the midfield (Libba M6) Goldy & Stef 2 500K + Forwards (4x rookies forwards on field)

There's a bit of talk in this thread about the likes of Bartel being rested. Does the fact there are now two byes mean it is less likely these types will get a rest during the rest of the season?

M4TT stated in the forwards thread he though Yeo was a sheep pick. I posted a response there but here is the more appropriate place if there is going to be any discussion so here is what I posted: "Off topic for this thread but I'm interested why you think Yeo is a sheep pick. Priced at 82 avg...

I'll cross post this into the defender thread so we don't confuse the forward talk here

What are people's thoughts on Allan Christensen as a potential F3? Missed the preseason last year and was under done. Improved as the season went on. Reported as having a good preseason this year ... is he likely to reach forward keeper level?

Off topic for this thread but I'm interested why you think Yeo is a sheep pick. Priced at 82 avg. Was forced to play a non SC friendly role at times last year but WC has defenders back - this should be good for a few PPG improvement. Has played about about 60 games and is coming into his 5th...

If you're taking Gawn you're taking has a season long keeper. The first three weeks are practically irrelevant when it comes to a decision whether or not to start him.

Hey, Lumumba is at a nice price this year (345K - that's cheaper than last year from memory). Not too late to get on ...

Yeah. Good cast. Still can't work out which four out of GAJ, Rocky, Pendles, Fyfe, and Danger to take but!

The difference for me is that 110-115 is probably at the low end of realistic expectations for Goldy. 110-115 is probably to the top end of expectations for the best of the rest.

If fact I can just afford to go Shaw, Houli, Laird, and Yeo (Rich) ... seems like a bit of a backline overspend but if the better rookies are elsewhere ...

I've had him in every draft and I'll probably start him even though he looks overpriced. Plenty of money saved in the midfield this year so I'm probably happy to overpay a bit for someone who looks like a lick to be top six. If I drop him down to Laird I could boost Yeo and Bartel up to Houli...

I agree - I have no problem paying 500K or more if there is a good chance they will play 22 games at a premium average - it is just I'm really struggling to pick those players. Laird could be one. Houli could be another but he had a long history of below premo scoring before last year, didn't...

Laird's record looks scarily similar to Brodie Smiths this time last year and we all know how that worked out.

I reckon the other lines are starting to make a bit of sense to me but ... aargh! Defence. The more I think about it the more confused I get. Looking forward (:p) to when the boys tackle defence in the podcast. May help to shed a little light on the situation ... What do people think of...

Wow ... old school! o_O:cool:

Each to their own but to me this reads like madness. You say you're going to use your trades to upgrade forward and back but the structure you describe is likely to miss half the good cash generating rookies so you won't be able to afford the upgrades. But you know this already, right? You're...
