2017 Backline Midpricers
- Thread starter cactus
- Start date
I've found that with quite a few blokes this year, lot of guys i think will improve a lot but starting in the 300K-375K range and it's a real dead zone except for injury affect premos.
He's definitely the guy I am way too keen on this year. Just snuck back into my team at D3. Will he stay there? Probably not.
Very irrational love right now.
Where are people at with Marchbank? He's had an impressive JLT and some talk that Weitering may play forward could see Marchbank play that intercept marking role in a Carlton backline that's likely to see a lot of ball. Priced nicely for a player that's a lock in Carlton's 22 and I see averaging 80+. Currently he's my D2 which is a bit yuck but there's so many good defensive rookie options this year.
Marchbank has also impressed me and currently is in my side but at D5. Eventually he will probably land at D4. D2 is way too ballsy. Obviously you have a different list of back rooks than I have.
I like him, looks solid and as you said is best 22. D3 for me currently.
Tough to guage for me. Ill probably end up picking him but wouldve like to see him play a bit more with doherty amd simpson before i HAD to choose. Worst case scenario is at least you can get any rookie that comes up by round 3 and pocket a bit of cash for any other corrective trades

Ah i see what you mean now. I like that they are trying him forward, it makes sense with their lack of key forwards. JLT is so hard to figure out who will play where, especially with Gawn and Goldstein. But with Weitering it has an effect on our defence setups too...
Fair point raised there. Could be alot of points shared in defence for Carlton
Agreed. Not a big fan, but he's in my team at D3. The backline is supposed to be the best line for rookies... but outside of Hampton and Keefe, there's not much I trust... let alone good scoring potential.
Alright so I know I brought this up earlier in the thread but seriously, Jake Lloyd! Really really tempting, played the last two JLT games.
Game 1: 27 Disposals @ 92% DE (in pissing down rain) 95 SC
Game 2: 30 disposals @ 93% DE 113 SC
Hard to ignore those numbers

What did Parker, and Hanners and JPK score in those games? What is going to happen when the real stuff starts? I'm not saying don't pick Lloyd but think think you have to be twice as sure with a breakout as you are with a fallen primo ...
I watched the last game and Hanners didnt look like he was putting in to me.
True, he will be playing off HBF and his mid time will be on a wing. I'm looking at a cheaper Swan def especially with not many rookies playing R1
Also worth considering that Mills sat out half the game last weekend, and more importantly, McVeigh and Jack will come into the team as some point when fit. If you're picking Lloyd at this price you must think he's a keeper but his role is too questionable with those players coming back for mine.
YEs but need to rewatch the last 2 JLT games as i noticed that some of his mid field time was spent in the wing, when i thought he would be better in the centre bounce as he is hard at the ball
