anyone trying this stratergy? Just getting some ideas
No Sammy, not trying it. With your history of elite ranking, are you?
I guess to add to that, there seems to be too much uncertainty around who will be the premium defenders and will the gap be that big between the top 10?
At this stage I am
It's all going to come down to what rookies and cheap options come available rd1 though. At the moment I, like most are assuming that there are not going to be any rookie defenders lining up rd1, possibly 1 or 2 if we are lucky but we would need them on the bench anyway
If that is the case then I will be loading up with 5 solid defenders. I will keep an eye on some of the mid price options during the NAB to see what their roles are and if they are going to be SC friendly too, so again things could change
Going with a light forward line allows me to stack my defence, mids and rucks, but again there's a lot of if's and maybe's at this stage
I think we will be able to answer this question with certainty in 2 weeks time
Yeah im looking at having
Simpson,shaw,dog,hurn,newnes
At this stage but would have to take a hit somewhere
At this stage i have 6, but that is more for the structure incase the worst case scenario happens.
I have options for a 4 & 5 man premium defence.
Going with 6 unless Billy lives up to his potential.
Going 3 premo + Lumumba & Yeo
LOL
Merchants of panic.

there is something written somewhere quoting Richardson saying Goddard definitely won't play in the early rounds

Or was he just giving the kid a public schlaking to see how he responds.....
He said goddard is a chance round 1 his preseason has been excellent
Think this 5 premo defence looks dodgy there seems to be players that are much cheaper that look like they can match dearer ones people are using
I have 4 + Pearce. Wondering who u guys think will ave most from def this year. Currently got Shaw, Enright and Birchall

When you say much cheaper Shaker who do you have in mind? All the so called premiums have potential risks but historically its very hard to pick cheap midpricers that will end up keepers even though we are dropping the hurdle rate this year.

To start with it is pretty hard to call some of these guys people are using premos so players around $400k + that are being used at D4, 5, think going with 3 of the best and couple between $250- 350K can save $200K + and rookies for the rest , you need at least one not playing to loophole so the backline seems to be the place , as for who are the cheaper guys are you just have to sift through the NAB results and take a punt and hopefully pick up a bargain like Jaensch last year ;)

Jaensch was the only successful mid price ($275-$350k) defender in the last 2 years that was picked to start Rd 1 - by successful I mean played 19+ games and averaged 85+. I'm not saying it can't be done but its a high risk strategy.

That's why SC is so much fun people have different ways of setting up there teams you need to take a risk in one of your lines with a depleted backline this year that's the line for me , others are stacking there backline with some players that might only avg. 80-85 and running lots of rookies in there forwards and that's not high risk ?
Do you define Harbrow and Lumumba as premium? I would more use the term keeper than premium, in which case I would definitely be including those two.

I think when we talk about defence in particular this year, "keeper" is the right term
Most of us assume that Eski, Simpson, Heater and a few others are the premiums of defence, but there are so many players who could potentially go 90+ and be keepers

Agree compared to last year there is only 5 or 6 you could call premos and that might be stretching it
