I see them going fairly similarly for the year as well, but the Saints have a boatload of early games at Etihad (where Roo scores well) and I like the Bulldogs draw post-bye...so my plan is to start with Roo and upgrade to Mccrae after the bye. Simple as that...too bad it never works out that...

I forgot to answer your actual first question, I'd go Beams + Roughy over Mccrae + JOM provided Beams goes full TOG in JLT 3 and looks good.

What are your thoughts on my dilemma: Goldstein + Gunston + Scharenberg or Sandi + Roughy + Docherty with no R/F cover? I lean towards the first.

Mccrae + rookie + about 160k is how I would go. Could I interest you in Gunston + rookie + 170k? I like his first half draw enough to consider. Roughy being back helps him a lot as well.

The fact that he even played at all against Brisbane suggests to me that Bevo wants to see more from him...they only played 9 from their GF team last year. He did play alright, but he only got 5 contested possessions, which is my main knock on why he won't really hurt you if you let him score...

Nope. I'm just so used to hearing about a patellar tendon tear being career threatening over here when in happens in the NFL/NBA. The grueling rehab process always gets beaten to death on sports TV. Players do come all the way back from it sometimes, the odds are just not as good as other...

I feel like Myers is just as likely to get injured rehabbing/training as he is to come back round 7 and I'm not willing to have a 133k loophole player for the year. I'd also want to see him play his first 2 games without getting injured. I do, however, see the benefit of saving a trade in your...

I'm not too sure it's a reflection on anyone's medicos, rather a reflection on the injury itself. A ruptured patellar tendon is one of the worst injuries you can get as a footballer. For comparison's sake, it's way worse than doing your ACL. ACL's aren't even a full year out anymore (we've had a...

He's been in for me since the beginning. I love the consistency, the full preseason, and the bye round. What are the percentages for Pendles and Treloar? I currently have Pendles and am letting Treloar score against me. I feel like a very high percentage of serious players are picking Treloar...

Otten has to survive the inclusion of Lever...if he does then he's definitely worth selecting for sure.

I'm sitting at 3/0/5 down back myself right now, and I have looked at 2/0/6 (which I did last year and got middling results). My big problem with 2/0/6 is that I don't think we will have the quality rookies to do it once the round 1 teamsheets come out. A lot of people are counting on Luke Ryan...

Petracca may very well keep his forward status for his whole career. He is just going to be so effective up there I can't see the Dees making him play a majority of time in the midfield. So, for me, he won't be breaking out this year. But, if he keeps his forward status (which he will) and we...

It's the normal 22 scoring, which I kind of like because it makes the supercoach planning a bit more interesting/difficult.

I'm starting to waver on Macrae...his kick to handball ratio keeps dropping each year and his contested possession numbers aren't very good (only about 1/3 of his possessions were contested last year, I think). I'm just not sure he's a must start playing in a Bulldogs team that's so loaded with...

All of those games at Etihad early (something like 12 out of the first 16) make him a very tempting option.

With the lack of midfield rookie options we might be forced into picking one of those midpricers. At least we know we'll have a quality downgrade target when the time comes.

Boyd is probably getting middle time no matter what, and maybe they do just go him and Campbell. If memory serves they never went all three of Boyd, Roughead, and Campbell last year. It was only Roughead and Campbell when Boyd missed time in the middle of the season. I'm just throwing out the...

Ryder is definitely a valid option in either line and he's been in and out of my teams a lot, but I would still be looking at structures without him in case both him and Lobbe get named R1. Ryder is VERY popular this year. We all kind of assume Lobbe will just play in the SANFL, but it's no...

Yup, it should buy English enough time to make some serious coin...but I still don't think it's a given he grabs a spot. And then you have to decide what to do about a loophole player. I'm looking at Balic in the midfield because I think he will get games later in the season (but if he's named...

Let's complicate this some more. What if the Jordan Roughead injury allows Timmy English to get a gig for a month or two at the beginning of the season? Do you pick him at R3 even though you'd be without the R/F link? I probably would, but then it would be pretty useless to pick a Paddy Ryder...
