Position 2018 RDT Defenders

[the_chad]

Any cheap defenders on the horizon? Love my bench coverage late in the year when I'm running tight on a handful of trades left.

Say they had a poor game last week or this week and fall in price during the byes so they're like 400-500k come R14-15?

Can't afford to have blokes like Coffield, Rice, Cole, Mirra etc on my pine come my finished team, would have one at D8 and that's it.

Houli will be cheap as once he bottoms out, may not return till after the bye though

Riewoldt up forward will be a massive bargain, 1 and 39 in his last 2, could be 400k

Unfortunately Petracca and the small forward version of Robbie Gray are headed for F6-7 lotto for me at the moment

Westhoff and Heeney are miles ahead of them two at the moment and I'll be bringing them in next week hopefully. McLean, Hogan and Devdog are the only forwards I own who are doing enough to be picked every week.


I thought Houli too, but R14 defenders I'm only looking at for R15 if I need to trade that week. Thought R13 types would be better to look at this week and next.

Logan Austin

Nathan Brown replacement

Brown only out across the byes

Its a shame that Heron from Gold Coast didn't play well. 128k and would have been great over the byes

Mihocek is debuting today

Been playing well as a key forward in the VFL and is playing as a key forward today

Max cash generation made going him as a D8 sometime during the byes as he's a bargain basement 128k rookie

 

[Pea Nut]

What's everyone's D6 looking like ??

 

[TheRednWhite]

What's everyone's D6 looking like ??

Sic Dawg for me

 

[Agechamp]

Seedsman and savage. Yuck...

 

[happy_eagle]

Sic Dawg for me

Likewise
Defence is the one line that I might actually end up with the the top players in that position.
Lloyd, Simpson, Yeo, Laird, Crisp, Sicily (Seedsman, Mihocek)

 

[PepeSilvia]

Also running with Sicily at D6.

Laird, Yeo, Simpson, Lloyd, Brayshaw, Sicily (Savage, Mihocek)

 

[go you pups]

What's everyone's D6 looking like ??

Howe 634k during a hot streak, playing like a low 500k type at the moment. 55-90 range from him

Crisp or Brayshaw would be nice

 

[Pea Nut]

Thoughts on Hurn as a D6 ??

 

[go you pups]

Thoughts on Hurn as a D6 ??

Yep, good bargain basement move, has bottomed out now

Heard he's averaging 21 kicks a game this year, massive. As long as West Coasts KPDs keep fit he'll continue to play prime ball mover down back.

Crisp may outscore him the rest of the year, but may only average out to be a point or two a week, the extra 80-90k in going Hurn could be more valuable in the long run for LTI trades or coverage trades.

 

[go you pups]

You got Brayshaw Pea Nut?

Cheaper than Crisp and bottomed out too

Would probably go in preference

Brayshaw
Hurn
Crisp

Can't get to Brayshaw without trading coverage.

 

[Leuy LongerCombo]

Also running with Sicily at D6.

Laird, Yeo, Simpson, Lloyd, Brayshaw, Sicily (Savage, Mihocek)

Same backline, you've got way better coverage with Seedsman thou, I'm running with Smith and Rice with Coffield a DPP option in the middle.

Top 6 averaging defenders, got to be happy with that.

Even better, Savage instead of Seedsman.

 

[Danger_zone]

Simpson vs Brayshaw.

Please pick one.

Brayshaw. Should be really good this week given he has a 160 at TIO already this year. Think Bray will be more consistent than Simmo. Also have to consider that Simpson may have rests later in the year whereas the Dees will be in the finals hunt

Thanks mate. Will likely do that next week!

 

[SloppyJoe]

So who's the best 6th defender? Assuming Sicily plays FWD.

Top 5 are clearly:

Laird
Yeo
Lloyd
Brayshaw
Simpson

3 weeks ago I would have said Crisp, who was on fire, but I guess I broke him.

I don't think there is a clear answer, the next batch of players will all be in the ~90 average for a given period of time. Webster/Hurn/Hurley/Crisp huh would probably be the next 4 for me.

Traded Crisp in too. Can't let you take all the credit.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Sic Dawg out for 6 weeks means I need a new D6. I already have Lloyd, Laird, Bray, Yeo and Simmo. Who is the next best defender? Wish Whit was available as a defender like in fantasy. I’m thinking Hurn is the best option?
