Risks.

[tassieguns]

with one more sleep before DT opens, i'm realizing that my team is going to have a lot of risks in it, and im not sure if its got too many.

i'm seriously looking at Hayes, Brown, Lake, Barlow, Didak, Drummond, Kruezer and Grimes..

be a champion and give me your thoughts on this?

cheers, and goodluck :)

Of course school comes around on the day DT opens.

Hayes - Not for me, a little elderly and I've heard reports that he'll take a little bit to be back to his best.

Brown - LOCK AND LOAD

Lake - Again too old and for 200k+ there are other midprice options like Conca and Suban or rookies for 100k less that could potentially score equal to or above Brian.

Barlow - LOCK AND LOAD

Drummo - Much more an SC player. Better options around for dt imo.

Krooz - Interesting not in my team, but i see the value in him as an underpriced ruckmen. Could be inconsistent.

Grimes - Been in and out of my side. Currently in... no wait he is out but I think he could be worth the risk. The Demons are going to monitor him very closely this year (i.e. extra recovery sessions instead of physical training) as they finally realise how important he is.

Probably a bit too risky, especially since a lot of those risks are due to injury not possible break outs.

I honestly wouldn't go anywhere near Hayes. 32 years old coming off an ACL is a big fat no to me ;)

Yes that is alot of risks... i would try to lose a couple especially Drummond

They say you have to risk it to get the biscuit but personally I think 2 risks is perfect 3 max you have way to many. They say that all teams are the same but there is a reason for it

Grimes and drumond should definitely be avoided. Year after year after year they get injured for extended periods. All others should be considered.

Of your list, I am only seriously looking at Barlow. I can understand Kruezer as well, but the rest dont even come into contention

[Artax]

Barlow & Grimes locked. Have had Lake & Lenny in and out so far, both out for now.

Grimes and drumond should definitely be avoided. Year after year after year they get injured for extended periods. All others should be considered.

Was a freak foot injury in 2011 though... not one of his recurring injuries.

The biggest risk would be to not take any risks

That's true but I personally couldn't sleep at night with grimes in my team
