Sorry for the long post in advance fellas. This is my last decision so figured I'd get other people's input! Which combo do people like out of:

1) Rich Nicnat S.Gray
vs
2) Brodie Stef S.Gray
vs
3) Brodie Stef Buddy
vs
4) Yeo Stef Buddy
vs
5) Yeo Nicnat Buddy

- Rich should be good in a full time midfield role but he has had plenty of years (many in the midfield) and has averaged 90 just once. People selecting him would essentially be expecting a career best year for him to be a good pick
- Refuse to believe Brodie's as bad as he was last season and the concussions definitely knocked him around (http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...s/news-story/d62c37896969767036f19181b339251a). Has the potential to average 95+
- Yeo stunk it up in the back half of last season but played in a lockdown role given the injuries. Played an excellent freewheeling role in the NAB games but failed to score well in 2/3 games. A massive risk vs reward selection given his ability to go big (but also very small)

- In the rucks, Stef is a safe 110+ option (particularly with no 2nd ruck) but Nicnat is capable of averaging similar numbers if he puts it together

- Buddy once again a big risk and I'm inclined not to take it but we all know what he's capable of doing. Gray still has a question mark in terms of role and therefore his ability to score well consistently but I quite like him and am happy to roll the dice there.

Leaning towards option 1 but get the feeling options 3 or 4 have the most potential. They all require different combinations of 2 of Mccarthy/Hewett/Papley, but given the uncertainty around these guys I'd rather concentrate on being happy with my on field players.

Isn't this the crucial decision? Or did I fall sucker to the question ...?

Take Gray and there's 2 options - do otherwise, there's 3!

Well I ended up going Rich (without a huge amount of confidence) and NicNat. And I steered clear of Buddy and Gray. Not sure if that helps.

Alright I'm stumped, Essendon not naming Hartley has caused a mad reshuffle.. I've decided to get B.Crouch in for Parker to get a playing defender because I don't want to risk Hartley potentially sitting on my bench for half a season making no money... So I can either bump him up to N.Wilson (GWS) who I see as a potential breakout candidate or the slightly less riskier O.McDonald and leave myself with 140k warchest for adjustments.. Does anyone know anything about McDonald?? How's his JS??

Milera and $317,000 (option to upgrade to hot mid priced early)
T McKenzie and $187,000
Greene and and $46,000

Thought on these 3 options?
I like McKenzie, but his JS is my main concern

Thanks. Still not entirely convinced on KK, but I'll stick with the advice.
I had KK in for most of the PS, didn't like his NABs and had a niggle or two. Just not sold on how good the Crows will be minus Danger and with a tough SoS.
