Player X v Player Y

[enzedder]

Malceski v KK

AND

Is anyone considering Polec over Crouch/Jaeger?

They're all injury prone, and Polec is possibly the most injury prone of the lot - thought about him but not for me.
And, KK

Agree. At 303k he probably isn't too bad an option but prefer Crouch/Jaeger

Fyfe vs Pendles vs Danger

Pick 2 (currently have Fyfe and Pendles, but thinking Danger could be a great POD if he gets off to a good start)

It's really Fyfe v Danger isn't it. Pendles is ticked.
Maybe take a punt on Danger.

Yeah I've had Pendles locked for a while now, but was just thinking that Danger and Fyfe could both be really really expensive if they get off to a good start, whereas Pendles is usually at a relatively attainable price (for an elite mid).

I see where you're coming from but I'm also reasonably certain Pendles has been over 700k in the past.

Seeds vs. Mackenzie for D5

[GoLions]

Ok one more, mainly because I wanted to see what my mids would be like if I didn't have any midpricers

Birchall, Libba, Crouch vs B Smith, Dangerfield, Mid Rookie

Would give me a midfield of: Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, Gaz, Rocky, Mills, Hopper, Gresham

Damn that is tempting

[meow meow]

B Smith is a trap

[GoLions]

B Smith is a trap

Yeah, that's why he wasn't currently in my team haha, not too confident with him. Could also go with Hurn over Smith. Or downgrade one of Mills/Hopper. Just basically depends on whether it's worth sacrificing someone like Birchall or a top end mid rookie plus Libba/Crouch to squeeze in another elite mid.

Yeah considering whether it is worth having Wells (after hearing about their intra) at F5 or upgrading Smith to a Simpson/KK. My mid, fwd and rucks are looking awesome with 2 rookies in those two lines collectively and I am opting to take a massive risk going Bartel, Smith, Malc and then 3 117k rookies. BOOM or Bust

Sandi vs Goldy

saves $110k and should score the same.

Sandi vs Goldy

saves $110k and should score the same.

Should they? Goldy can go 120+, doubt Sandi will go 110. Also more likely that Sandi could miss a game here or there. If I weren't going to start Goldy, I'd be going with NicNat and Stefan

It's nice but it's missing Libba. Must have... It's like saying no thanks to free beer.

Agree. They are the best 3... Goldy, Nic Nat, Martin. Only others I'd contemplate are Mummy and Lobbe. Some risk with the last two but reasons to get them nonetheless.

Hope for Norf's sake Goldy backs up his 120+ once last season, Sandi has gone 110 4 or 5 times in the past.
          career ave. Goldy  97
                          Sandi  95
                       Nic Nat   91
                       Martin     82
Sandilands used to be a staple diet, now it seems he's a massive POD.

[Ringo]

Priddis v Dayne Beams Priddis the more consistent but Beams has the greater upside.

Sandi has gone 110+ 3 times
2010 - 114 - 19 games
2011 - 110.7 - 13 games
2012 - 111.8 - 12 games

Sandi could be a great POD as R2, but there is now way I'd be picking him over Goldy
