Last 2 decisions are starting to bug me...

Newman v Bock

Beams v Robinson

Cheers!

Bock and Beams. Newman has hit his ceiling and will let Tuck, Deledio, Cousins, Johnson et al run through the midfield. He'll be called on for specialist roles in defence and midfield. Robinson wil struggle to keep his place because of the way he plays and because of all the players set to come back. Beams is borderline 22 - hit and miss on beams.

my turn: Ottens and Wade Thompson or McIntosh and Ziebell.

option 2 has more certainty to it. Hmac is underpriced but by how much? Z man has been named already but according to the port board, W.Thompson will be more like the guy to play 1 or 2 games and then miss 2 or 3 before he play again.
 
This decision has been doing my head in for days.

B.Reilly V P.Haselby V D.Mackay

H>M>R. And yes butler also comes into consideration. If you have Rich and Anthony covering you might go Haselby and Mackay.
 
I'd take Reilly
But consider Butler...

Scotland and Lucas
or
Hill and Gia

Anyone help?

With Scotland underdone and Lucas playing closer to goals and on his last legs the latter.

Can't you get Stevey J or NGBrown instead of Gia. Not a fan of Gia.
 
Why do you think this? Can't see Haselby scoring too highly early..

Harvey has said through the preseason he has been played on the wing and halfback. Now he will played through the centre. I expect an increase.

To me the only question mark is on his body.

Mackay will get more game time but he is not the ball magnet someone like Chris Knights is. Adelaide have some great midfielders in the making and at the moment their are a few ahead of him for these positions - he'll be used sparingly on the wing and half forward, half back these sorts of places.

Reilly as sweeper concerns me - if he was in midfield I'd have picked him.

Ahh now you're making it more difficult! :p
 
HEY GUYS!

who do people will fare better out of HMAC and Gilmore?

At that price you have to go the player that is in the best 22 and has put the scores on the board before.
 
On my last selection...Rich or Otten?

I think Otten has the ability to high scorer, but i think he has a bit of a pea heart and could go missing.

Rich...well everyones talking about him and it looks like he'll play, just how many games is the question!

Tough decision.
 
go Otten.

My question .. well 2 really

Haselby + Deledio + Petrie vs Swan + Thomas + Hmac

Currently ive got the first option

--------------------------------------------------------

Jacobs/Spencer + Buddy + Fisher vs Hmac + Krakouer + Adcock

obviously the first is very risky, curious to hear anybody else starting rookie rucks with the huge selection this year. Currently option 2 is locked in for me the safer option.

Bartel or Corey?

Was leaning Barts but a bit worried about the assistant coaches comments...

'Jim carried a lot of body soreness after last season, but he’s just been Jim Bartell – he turns up, trains well, does everything right. A real professional.'

You're still around the egg... im impressed. I have gone both making it an easy decision. Moved heaven and earth for it to happen though.

I think you choose rich before you choose otten. Otten is competing with too many players... you pick him now thinking hell impress enough to hold his spot. He has more upside... i think rich is a safer pick.

He'll be fine. I have gone Ablett :eek:. If you can use the cash then maybe go for Corey. If not it has to be Bartel. Just look at the preseason numbers.
 
go Otten.

Yes first option. Starting one of Jacobs or Spencer? Definitely not.
 
Ok, my last decision which is doing my head in a little:

Kornes & Gia V Dalziell & Pav

The former has the consistency, the latter the scoring potential. At the moment I have Kornes & Gia, but am seriously considering going taking a risk with Dalziell and Pav...

Also, with Hill now not seemingly guarenteed a spot in the first round, is it worth having him on the bench, chewing up a valuable $60k? I guess there are no other really standout backline options and we must remember Harvey didn't play Palmer rd 1 last year...

Decisions, decisions...
 
Unfortunately there aren't enough solid rookie defenders to allow Hill to start. It's too bigger risk.

Kornes and Stevey J/NGBrown. No on Gia.

Dalziell and Pav could be great. I'm not sure on Dalziell though and like Stanton a lot better at that price point.
