Position 2015 SuperCoach defenders

[Judd_Magic]

What's everyone's backlines looking like at the moment?

Mine is as follows -

Shaw, Picken, Higgins, Yeo, Hibberd, Smith (Pearce, Hamling)

Its lacking Hodge but apart from that I think it looks ok.

Maybe I can try get Hodge in later on if he drops down in price and move Smith to D7.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

He actually looked good last week against tough opposition. Even some of his clangers were like bullet passes that went straight onto a Hawthorn chest

I thought he looked good, was under a heap of pressure for a lot of his kicks.
He does seem to try and put a bit too much power on his low kicks instead of just nice hit ups though when in space, a concern.

Great backline Toxic.

Only worry there is Rance but hopefully he picks up his game for you.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Very solid mate.

Yeah backs and forwards done. 2 mids to upgrade still though. Maybe Selwood out as well, would mean 3 upgrades if so.

Probs bring Rocky and Ablett in.

My backs and forwards are done too.

I have Selwood, Wallis and Cripps at M6-M8

Who would have thought at the start of the year that I would be contemplating trading out Selwood > Rockcliff instead of the other two?

 

[SnappyHappy]

Picken easily.

Picken or Hodge?

 

[NinjaSwan]

Shaw, Hodge, Hibberd, Docherty, Newnes, Oxley (McKenzie, Hamling)

Next week McKenzie/Hamling > B. Smith and it will be complete.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Picken or Hodge?

Hodge. By a mile.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Picken or Hodge?

Ideally both.

Honestly I would go Picken now and see if you can get Hodge later on when he's cheaper.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Hodge. By a mile.

I reckon Picken could be a great POD to Hodge if Hodgey does a hammy/calf injury in the next few weeks.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Started with Hurn and he has been nothing but disappointing, finally pulling the trigger on him.

Thoughts on Liam Picken?

He is priced at his max with a 3 and 5 week average of 95 due to his two 140+ scores but since going big he has been consistant against good sides.
Risky and at 3.4% is still a POD. It's between him and Laird as they are new breakout players with a similar price in similar teams, ladder position etc.

It's his draw that interests me most.
His draw from the rest of the season is delicious. Best team he plays against is West Coast followed by Collingwood then North (based on ladder position).
The only teams he plays who are in the 8.

 

[CotchyPls]

Will be sitting on this, can bring Smith in if he starts improving. Could Potentially do Saad>Smith then when Ox has moo'd > Picken. 8 Trades left however.

 

[Unique Name]

Picken v Laird

 

[buttox]

shaw higgins oxley gibson yeo saad +mcgovern pearce

is mcgovern my d7?
tempted to trade him forward for goddard and upgrade to buddy/dahl

bump. this is doing my head in folks.
whos my d7?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Whos your F6,7 and 8 oh yeah Hughgoddard.

 

[NinjaSwan]

bump. this is doing my head in folks.
whos my d7?

Thats a good backline, I would put Saad at D7 as he could also be M9 if you have a DPP in the mids. Plus he has the lowest average.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

bump. this is doing my head in folks.
whos my d7?

I'd leave McGovern mate. Id trade saad for a rookie

 

[buttox]

sorry should have mentioned i have goddard up forward who can swap with mcgovern/higgins
also mckenzie in mids to swap with yeo/saad.

 

[Krujan]

sorry should have mentioned i have goddard up forward who can swap with mcgovern/higgins
also mckenzie in mids to swap with yeo/saad.

Keep both. Those multiple DPP's swings will come in handy later in the season. Can never have enough bench depth!

 

[Fluffy Tiger]

I am at a bit of a loss as which spud to move, they sort of all look the same. Im going to be getting Sloane in buy moving on one of these. The question is which spud to peel

Newnes, Saad, Ibbostson, Rance, Hibberd.
