Wondering if this will work!

[KingJB]

My defence is my weakest spot on my field but that never fazes me cause I reckon that's the least scoring possy
I have Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Russell, Goodes, Docherty and Stevenson and Terlich.
I'm thinking for what the scoring difference may be I could downgrade Russell to either Pittard Vlastuin or even a Luke Brown or another rookie and bank the extra 100k to upgrade Cotchin to Boyd and shuffle some other spots.
Does that seem like a reasonable idea??

[Ricochet]

Definitely reasonable, but i don't think the point scoring side of it is the risky part... its job security.
If you can find 5 rookie defenders with very solid JS than I think its a perfectly good strategy

+1

My thoughts exactly on the plus side is no one is real sure yet on Russell's js yet either although its looking pretty safe. And I only need 3 of the 5 to play each week. I just need to get the right Combo. It will be a Thursday night before round one move I reckon

[Windigo]

Yeah, a very reasonable strategy.  ;)

I'd rather a gun like Boyd than a premo back/mid pricer.  ;)

As a Pies I reckon its a 50/50 call on Russell atm to whether he'll play RD 1. Hasnt done anything wrong this preseason.
I've currently got 5 rooks in defence with Vlastuin, Pittard, Goodes, Stevenson and Terlich. Then with blokes like Brown, Heath, Docherty and Colquhoun its hard to not see 5 DEF rookies play come RD 1.
