I've been toying with leaving Libba out but given the reports on his fitness seem pretty positive I probably won't be "brave" enough to let him against me.

Even if he fails it wont be a loss as he'll be in every team anyway. But yes he is ready to go, and will probably be a mistake not to grab him.

I liked the look of Walters last night but dont like starting the season with 2 prems from one club

BArlow is a lock

Ha! I was just coming here to raise Walters. Will the more midfield time that everyone's talking about really be there (they've got to fit Barlow back in as well, right?).
Walters would probably have to improve almost 20 points per game in average to be a good pick ... been around a long while ... only played about 60 games ... I guess it is possible he might have that much improvement in him ... anyone else considering him?

I worry about Dusty and Lids if their prices were right so no real reason not to start Barlow and Walters IMO ... if you can convince yourself that Walters is a good pick that is ...

Taking 2 premos from a top 4 side doesn't sound bad at all. They may be "on the same line" but Barlow is really a pure mid rather than a fwd.

God I can't type. I meant to write "I wouldn't worry" about taking Lids and Dusty. I think I need an editor.

Higgins having a "minor" knee surgery but still likely for R1.

Still struggling with this 3rd forward, I don't really like any of the premiums priced players outside of Martin & Barlow, Zorko is my back up, outside of that ??? Having a look at a few guys who have had issues in the past and had a solid season last season and will look to improve this time around,
found Allen Christensen, personal issues and back surgery at the start of last season didn't get much of a pre-season but still knocked out a 88 average, full pre-season this time around is a big tick, style of play suits SC, role? a concern, high half forward.. will he get enough?

Can you make a case against Dollhouse? He's no bargain but he should be a solid option shouldn't he? He's the other one I have at the moment ...

More midfield options, more opposition attention and harder draw.

Why force it then? Why not just stick with 2? Plenty of decent sub 250k players going around.
