2018 Forwards

[Thuggee_Cult]

Up forward I've got:

Heeney, McLean, Lunchmeat, Billings and Sicily plugging the hole of F5 up forward due to poo rookies.

So in effect I am after 2 more upgrades before I swing Sic back.

Is it too late to jump on Taranto?

 

[big_bazza]

it may be time to to be bring Lids in, im sick of mediocre scores from my team and especially from Billings, if i had of done this 3 weeks ago id be 2 wins for the better after losing by 1 and now 7 points and 130+ points better off overall.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Forwards are really crap this year. I have the best three (imo) in Heeney, Gray and McLean. Tempted to just start rookies in the rest of the spots.

It’s annoying, I was set till Buddy and Walters went down.

Oh my God, you don't know.

Should I tell him about the forward rookies?

I'm worried about Taranto's midfield time when Kelly comes back.

My biggest problem area. Current state of affairs

Heeney, Devon Smith, Petracca, Billings, Fritsch, Guelfi (Keefe & Crowden). I've got Sicily as a defender so I do have that fed-def link if movig siciky fwd is the best option.

Got $208k in the bank and looking to trade Bonner this week who is my D6/D7. Wanting to either trade down and upgrade the forward line. Or trade up and move Sicily forward. Thoughts?

440k is cheap for a forward averaging 95

Guelfi won't be done until around his bye having only played three games

Crowden needs a solid game sooner rather than later to get some cash generation going otherwise he's a slow burn to 250k. Reassess Fritsch in 2 weeks, that 90 will be his main cash generation booster.

Your forwards are very similar to mine, just replace Heeney and Keefe with Garlett and Gray

If you can plonk Keefe down back in Bonners spot without hurting your backline too much then I'd be looking at either grabbing a decent forward or swing Sicily up there for now and grab a decent defender

So you reckon Sicily forward and Keefe back and trade up Bonner to a Yeo?

It's a tough one....

I just realized that Scully has to come back too, even though he is a couple of months away I might pass.

 

[enobrien]

Who are the top 6 fwds?

Robbie, Heeney

Daylight

McLean, Mundy, Menegola, Buddy?

Hoff will lose points once Ryders back. Its a crapshoot

no he wont. he barely rucked against Norf. playing midfield. but has a history of starting on fire then crashing and burning

I reckon Smith will end up averaging ~100

Not as bullish on him as others are. Staying away for the time being

They’re trash, but I reckon the strategy has to be thought it.

Guelfi - 70
Oliver - 110
180

L.Fogarty - 75
Mundy - 95
170

I guess there actually isn’t much difference... ignore me while I go find a brain.

Plenty of strategy past the obvious points aspect:

> Cash Generation left
> Captain or VC options
> Byes
> Natural predators (Job Security aspect)
> DPP if available
> Upcoming 6 week draw
> Finals draw if focused on leagues

 

[rocker_oz33]

42 tackles this year....and 25 the last 3 weeks .
I'm looking at him ...but rather the good toby mclean but depends on rookies to move.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Acres vs Mundy vs Robinson

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Acres vs Mundy vs Robinson

Or Sicily..

 

[MrChristo]

> Upcoming 6 week draw

I suspect that's a reason so many are grabbing Spargo this week.
Melbourne have Saints, GC, Carlton next 3 + Dogs in 5 weeks.
You'd think their forwards will go OK...

So yeah, no reason Fritsch, him and Guelfi couldn't hold their own onfield for the time being if need be.

 

[turtles]

Out round 7
Franklin
Greene
Acres
Curnow
Wingard

[projectaero]

Thoughts on my FWD ?

Z Giles Langon, Guelfi bench

Round 11:
rookie to Port premo forward is

Robbie Gray has a BE of 148. It would be nice if he pumps out a few more 90-110 scores and stays around ~$550k

Boak has a BE of 81. He's travelling nicely. He won't give you big scores like Robbie, but he's looking good to continue his ~95 average

Westhoff the other option
