Man that D-fence is iffy.........let me know what you think

[Canuck]

Focused my money on the midfield and up front.  Looking for value with my backs

D: Delids, Birchall, Broughton, Waters, Hargrave, Ellis, Bugg (Spurr, Morris)

Mid: Swan, Boyd, Ablett, Watson, Coniglio, Magner (McDonald, Shiel)

Rucks: Cox, HMac (Giles, Redden)

Fwds: Buddy, Fyfe, Robbo, D. Martin, Danger, Porplyzia, D. Smith (Hall, Couch)

Kinda risky with Waters and Broughton as my 3 & 4 d-men.   The alternative is downgrading Cox -> Sandi/Berger/Mumford and Coniglio -> Clifton giving me some cash to change Waters -> Goddard/Carrazzo/Shaw

I have a decent feeling about Waters and a bad feeling about not having Cox.  Seems most preseasons everyone talks about how good the "other" rucks will be (I think Jolly was getting talked up last preseason) and then it turns out its best tohave the premiums.


Thoughts?

Downgrade Hmac to stephenson... Put giles on the ground and upgrade hargrave to shaw if you can. Keep waters though i think he will perform much better than hargrave.

I did think about that.  Figured Hmac has a ceiling of 80-90pts per game compared to Giles' 60-70.  I guess like Z.Smith last year Giles will be incosistent, McIntosh should be more reliable one would think.

As for Hargrave, with all the talk of the doggies playing a more possession focused game he has the potential to rack up a lot of cheap points.  He should score at least in the 80s, where as Shaw will be in the 90s. 

So in the end I guess its a push and I SHOULD get about the same amount of points either way.
