[Maybe Tomorrow]

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Great goal by Lombard

 

[Milanista28]

Just start with the rookies. How many have you seen so far you would field?

Definitely Lombard

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Definitely Lombard

Jagga
Serong
Derkson if picked (maybe)

 

[The Flying Belgian]

McCarthy is scoring pretty well.

What's his round 1 prospects and JS gonna be like this year?

Clever player and usually features highly in scoring chains. Ah Chee's spot from last year if up for grabs. But he's still going to be in that 20th-23rd player picked most weeks.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Suns players are weak as firing out sniping head shots in a practice game. Still got rekt only missing one key player, ha.

While Pokey Neale just ploughs tbough thier Mrs

 

[Jiska]

Trac 18 contested and couldn’t ton. Mr. consistency.

 

[Petrify]

Smith
Brodie
Grlj
Farrow
Phillipou
Robertson
McAndrew

Comfortable with any of them on the field right now

Can't give the Toaster's bench spot to him?

 

[Deliverance]

Trac 18 contested and couldn’t ton. Mr. consistency.

Double early bye makes it very hard to pick him

 

[Jiska]

God I’m sick of Browny saying “no doubt about it”. Says it all the bloody time.

 

[Petrify]

Will still be a top 6 forward easily. Can only say that if him sheez and Flanders right now

 

[Flandersss]

Him & Lynchy share a brain

 

[Flandersss]

McCarthy looks the goods as on field option?

Yep. Tho I'd have Pickett not far behind too.

Besides, sure, you could get a 520k mid instead of Trac, but the midfield is where most of the value picks are this preseason. As it stands, Jagga's the only rookie I'm running there. So its really just a question of a defender or Trac to me.

If he's getting reliably selected. Which you'd want if you're paying 170k. Its a dilemma.

Good point. Cook @ 158k is shaky too but if playing half back you gotta pick him

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Haven't seen a minute of tonight's games. Or yesterday's so picking my team purely based on what you campaigners post in this thread.

A winning strategy every year. Thanks Kent's

Where’s the mail on Cook come from? What do we know about him?

Playing the 1’s at half back so far in pre season. Think they want to play him over Hinge. Could be wrong

sorry but theres no way they play him over hinge.. dont get your hopes up on that one.

Hinge has been injured a bit over preseason. Not sure he's a lock for them.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Watched the first 3/4 of the swans/gws game

Grundy - Dominant and bog when it mattered. Good in the air and at ground level.
Serong - Much better this week. Plays in round 0
Bice - Got a laser boot but in the conditions could not show it off. Watch in round 0.

Toby Greene - Easily the giants best mid.
Oliver - Meh
Ash - ok
Rowston - Really like him. Impacts. Not a starting mid. Reads the play well and links up with the mids. Round 0 watch.
Whitfield - Lovely boot.
Coniglio - Struggled to impact.
Madden - Giants will struggle if he's the number one ruck

No mention of James Leake from anyone in this thread?

Looks to have cemented a spot down back. $168k def/fwd. Scored 68 yesterday. Massive consideration if he scores well in opening round.

Leake is one to keep an eye on. But Whitfield only played a half so how much did he benefit there? As you say round 0 watch.

 

[toxic]

 

[Makeshift Park]

Yep. Wouldn't be surprised to see ruck carnage across the board. Tempted to bet against all of them by running Jackson at R1 (as the least centre bounce dependent scorer of the premo rucks), McAndrew at R2, and spend the money on a premo flex instead.
