The one position in my squad I've changed at least 15 times already, I have 515000 to play with and I'm not sure on my D3 option, the considerations currently are:
Simpson - I'd have to downgrade elsewhere and I'm not overly sold on him being 34 and having to take the responsibility of Doc.
Roberton - Has some decent high games but he's prone to very low scores so scares me a bit.
Rich - Actually my leading option at this point in time, no doubt a risk but an attacking defender whose last 3/5 games of last year were over 120 and in 1% of sides could be a sneaky POD.
Lloyd - Sydney players scare me due to the depth, had Hanners last year and was burnt early.
Tuohy - Only had the one semi premium season so still a bit unproven, had him last year and was prone to some down periods.
Witherden - Probably the least likely on this least, too unknown.
Mcdonald - Another of the leading contenders to pick, have Rich over him currently for those potential 130 games.
Burton - Had him sitting there for a few days, high potential, again just unsure of consistency scoring.
Shaw - Same as everybody, I want to have him, whether he's worth the risk over the other guys listed here, I don't know, near the top in considerations.
The bye isn't too much of an issue.

Would go Simmo, never had health issues before so it would just be unlucky if he suddenly started now.
Crisp should be on that list imo, better option than most of those. Averaged 90+ after moving down back last season
Crisp is definitely a side option if I need to free up cash elsewhere, however due to being so similar in price to Shaw I’d rather take the risk on Shaw If I had to choose
Simmo. Been my D3 for weeks and weeks. Haven't seen the need to tinker with it.
Good scorer. Good bye round.
I have swapped over to Simpson, if anybody thinks someone else it's now on you to persuade otherwise.
Lloyd, Simmo don’t think Simmo starts seasons well historically... Upgrade target for me anyway, want to see how he’s aging early in the season
Mine averaged 100.2 in the last 8 weeks of the season after a kick in the backside. Fairly sure he did well in AFLX & has slimmed down a fair bit. Haven't seen him mentioned at all whatsoever. Potentially 10-15+ points underpriced if it continues.

He also bowls a mean scrotum crushing slower ball.
Lloyd for me
McGrath and use the cash saved elsewhere

Only issue is the last 3 round scores. Was he falling back after the kick.
And it is not Daniel Rich as he averaged 101.8 for last 8 rounds.

Yeah that hit to the nuts was savage
Don't think WitherGOAT has moved from D3 since I first picked my team.
D3/D4 are pretty much interlinked for me at the moment.
IF Cam Shea proved to be worth the hype, gets named Rd. 1 and shows some nice form in the JLT, D3 will be somebody I have in top 6 at years end and O'Shea will go in as D4.
Given I'm skeptical on Cam Shea, I'm tossing up between fielding someone like Rich, Simpson Lloyd at D3 so I can take either Bowes or Brayshaw at D4. Alternatively, I can take punts on Shaw, Hanley, Sicily and K. Kol and field two of them at D3/D4
So, curious as to what other people think of the following choices:
1. Hibberd, O'Shea + $200k
2. Simpson, Brayshaw +$70k
3. Shaw, Hanley
My preference at the moment is 1, 3, 2. If O'shea is who we hope he is then that should be a very good scoring option and frees up a lot of extra cash to reinforce the forwards and M6-M8. Option 3 doesn't leave a lot of cash but will hopefully save a trade down the line if both Shaw and Hanley go back to being around 95ppg. Option 2 is a premium I'm not overly confident about and a mid pricer I'm really not confident about, but I have seen this set up around a bit.
Curious to know what people think...
Option 3 for me, two keepers in there.
Many people in a similar situation withD3/4.
Ideally O'Shea/O'Brien/Byrne get the backline gig at Carlton and 4 decent rookies are named.
If not it means spending more at D4,maybe a little less on D3 and less money for other lines.
Brayshaw doesn't exite me or McGrath at nearly 400k.
Got Hanley/Sicily atm. Would rather Hibberd/O'Shea.
I like the idea of a Simpson/Rich type occupying D3 this season, with Hanley, McGrath or someone in that price bracket at D4.
I don't have a heap of faith in O'Shea getting a gig round 1, just don't see how he fits in. If he smashes the JLT and bashes the door down for opening round selection I might take a look at him.

+1
Was first picked down back. Even before Laird.
O'Shea at D4 is a big risk as that means you are playing 3 rookies on field, even if he is named I wouldn't be confident in his long term JS.
The on field rookies can make a big difference to start the year. A mid rookie at 65 average is losing out 35-40 points on a prem mid, a def rookie is at 55 is losing out on 25-30. The question you need to ask is the extra 100-150k for the prem mid worth the extra 10 points.
