I can't decide.... I want to pick Gawn, Sandi and Witts but can only pick 2. At the moment I have all 3 because I can't decide between them o_O

I'd already dumped him for Joel Smith anyway....

I have Pickett on the forward bench currently, but would be happy to play him on the field. Just don't have room for him currently. Currently I have on-field rookies: Defence - Marchbank, Hampton, Otten Midfield - Nil Ruck - Nil Forward - Taranto, Florent

People say that. In the last 5 seasons Ryder's played 70 games (which includes his suspended 2016), excluding his 2016 year he's played 20 games in 6 of his 9 seasons and the least he's played is 15 games in a season. Over the last 5 years Fyfe has played 71 games and in fact has only played...

I actually have Ryder and Nank as forwards, regardless of their R/F status. Nank is still up in the air as I think he might only average 85 and I'm considering Steele instead. But Ryder was one of my first picked as I think he will be a top 6 forward provided Hinkley doesn't do anything stupid...

Thoughts on Black and Eddy??? Are we being sucked in to Eddy by his JLT3 haul? Both still averaged sub-60 in JLT, and I'd shave off 10 points for the real deal. Is that enough? With either get a big score to push their price along? I have Eddy and still considering Black, but I'm starting...

Agree with Macreadie. SPS is interesting, the Blues are obviously keen on him to give him a game after no JLT games. Not sure if he played VFL, would assume so. Tempting....

I've had SandiWitts for the past week and don't mind how it looks. I have both Ryder and Nank up forward as potential forward keepers with Strndica at R3 to provide the cover. I want Gawn, but Sandi and Witts are such value and with the need for cash savings it just works so much better. Both...

I hear a lot of people saying how Macrae and Dahl are effectively automatic selections, including the boys on the pod. At this stage I have neither. My rationale is that there is so many Bulldogs going through the mids that I can't see either changing role or increasing scoring. Macrae played...

North playing Sunday also makes it difficult. Reckon EVW and Hibbo are perfect extended bench players. A lot of people might get trapped by selecting the Thursday night rookies. I got trapped last year. Picked the Thursday rookies on the Wednesday when they got named. Then couldn't get on...

I haven't touched my team since pre-JLT. Almost none of the rookies picked at that time are worthy options now. It's slim pickings after a fresh start. I have Taranto at M8 and no forward rookies on field with Nank at F6. Defence I have Marchbank at D3 and Hampton D4. It looks like cash...

Gawn locked at R1 for me. Sandi..... just anxious, but gee he looked good in the first quarter last night. Nank looks too good to pass on. Possibly a good R2 and then switch him forward later if he looks like he could hold down F6? Ryder still in my thoughts too. I think he's done...

Not a good weekend for the rookies so far. Hibbo sat out the first half which is a worry, then did ok in the 2nd but only scored 27. EVW played the whole game but only got 28 :confused:. Brodie and Bowes failed to excite. Butler and Stengle not doing a lot today either. Taranto is about the...

I suspect my Patreon hasn't linked up to these forums. It won't allow me access to the Patron forum :(

The Lions have impressed in the preseason. They're still bottom 4, but their gamestyle will make them more competitive. I wouldn't worry about Zorko, he's alongside Beams in a fully fit Lions midfield. I can see Rocky playing forward because his disposal and decision-making is poor. His...

I reckon if Gawn or NicNat went up against Stef alone they would tear him to shreds without 3rd man up. The Lions tended to either played a 2nd ruck (e.g. West or Smith) or did a lot of 3rd man up last year when they played the dominant rucks.

I was pondering that this morning. So many question marks over the top guys outside of Gawn: Goldy - limited preseason and minor injury currently. Top shelf but may start slow. Grundy - gee, I just struggle to see him being worth it. Top score ever of 127. Goldy averaged more than that in...

I can't understand why nobody is talking about Sauce, find it astounding. A few years ago he had his first full preseason and pumped out a 115 and then 108. Last year he had virtually no preseason and put out an 86. Built into the season and went at 105 from rounds 11-18 before a 26 in round...

I would thought going hard on hos would have given him a groin injury? Hip, rib and ankle, must've been one hell of a weekend....

Going C on Danger but reluctantly. He only scored 99 earlier in the year and reckon he might spend a lot of time forward for a bit of a quieter game. Wouldn't surprise if either half of Dangerwood was a late out either - think the Cats would like to get some midfield minutes into their 2nd...
