    Defenders 2016

    I usually aim to avoid the old stagers in my starting team and target the younger up-and-comers instead - But this year I'm thinking with two byes instead of one there might be less need to rest the older players to get them through the season. Well that is what I was thinking anyway.

    Defenders 2016

    Posted on Fantasy Freako yesterday: Will be avoiding Jimmy Bartel in #SuperCoach this year. Chris Scott says he "would be surprised if he played all 22 H&A games". Cause for concern to folks like me who had Jimmy first picked in the backline?

    Rookies 2016

    Looks like Byrne didn't get a run ... doesn't seem to have recorded a stat at any rate.

    I guess Kerridge was in pretty much every serious side already but he apparently absolutely smashed it in the first NAB game ...

    Forwards 2016

    Buddy is still in consideration for me but I found the cash to swap him for Dahl and my side looks flimsy now. Less exciting but less flimsy.

    Forwards 2016

    I've got Dusty, Dahl and Barlow at the moment but Dahl is the one I'm least confident in - mostly because I'm a bit worried he might get pushed forward a bit more and have some down games. The problem is that I am less confident in all the alternatives. Dahl has a history of playing 22 games and...

    Rucks 2016

    Can't rule out the possibility that Lobbe might get back to 2014 scoring ... but I am a bit wary because I read someone saying they didn't think he was advantaged by the new ruck scoring that came in prior to 2015. At his price I'd be happy with any average over 100 but I'm pretty sure I'm going...

    Tom Mitchell

    You reckon Higgins has it in him to improve again? Will probably play the same role as last year I'm imagining ...

    Tom Mitchell

    Would be first picked in the forward line if he was eligible there IMO.

    I don't think Malceski is a ridiculous pick - but it is a risk - and probably more risk than you want to unnecessary expose yourself to at the start of the season. If one was to get a lead with some promising early form he could be a good one to jump on at that stage ... maybe if you we're...

    Tom Mitchell

    Good solid pick for mine. Doesn't present huge valve in terms of price but i can't see him going backwards this year. I had him in my team for a while but if I end up going 4 + Libba is is hard to find a spot for him. If someone picks up an injury between now and the start of the season...

    Libba, O'Meara and Crouch

    I guess the reason I'm toying with it is because I'm finding it hard to find primos I'd be happy to lock up forward and down back. Finding it much easier to find locks in the ruck and in the midfield and the midfield ones are cheaper than usual. When it comes down to it I would not consider...

    Libba, O'Meara and Crouch

    Big call.

    I has to come down to where the rooks end up being available doesn't it? I'm currently overloaded in the midfield and underloaded in the forward line (Wells or Jedi at F4) but the can easily change.

    Re: Rampe. Yeah. Solid pick. Unlikely to make or break you season I reckon. I'm certainly open to bringing him in if he looks to be going OK. A few ahead of him for a starting possie I think ...

    Libba, O'Meara and Crouch

    OK. Next question: Do we take Libba at M5 or torture the rest of our teams to have him at M6. I just we'll have to wait for the rookies to become clear before we can answer that one ...

    Actually meant to write "wouldn't laugh"! My bad. :rolleyes:

    Ablett, Fyfe, Pendles and Danger

    Well Fyfe is the only one of the four that I've left out for what it worth. I'm not too worried by the talk of more forward time. Preseason injury a slight concern. History of not playing 22. Highest priced of the four ... Hard to split the other three. All at a similar price. All solid picks.

    I would laugh if someone had Rampe as a starter. Should be solid at least and unlikely to take a step backwards ... but I like to hear some solid arguments as to why he might improve before putting him in my own team.

    Dollhouse?

    Teves - Are we talking Hunter as in the 415K mid fielder who has only played 35 games in his career so far and whose best season average was 77 from about a dozen games? I didn't get to watch many Bullies games last year so I could be missing something but based on the numbers he looks a...
