I (along with many others) are stumped when it comes to this...
I personally think it is worthless to have players such as Neade and Lee in the forward line, even on the bench at F8...
I have gone expensive over F6-8 with:

  • Caffa (130K) - well everyone has him as they should
  • Patton (180k) - will play every game and will have some shockers, I expect an average of around 60 for the General
  • O'hAilpin (160k) - he should take Folou's role as that pinch hitting ruckman, and they need some taller players with bug Cornes out, he did average 74 over 6 games in his last season at Carlton playing as a pinch hitting forward (1.6 goals and 8 HO per match) he also can swap with Rowe on the ruck bench to cover my rucks

So my main question is, am I spending to much cash?
Does it disadvantage my team too much (L.Brown was changer to Vlaustin (thank god!)):

yeah if they arent playing your just losing the potential to make money. SO thats why if they dont play i will find some cash to bring in kennedy for one of them.

cheers for the response, can't do much atm i guess, when teams are announced i will re-evaluate

great looking team mate, very similar to mine BUT a big difference is that I've decided to go with Caff as F7, with Kennedy and Karnezis as F5 and F6...

I think you only need one of Patton and Setanta, the other one is probably a bit of a waste imo :-\

Noz

Having Neade or Lee isn't pointless being F8.

Yeah I'd agree, especially considering the likes of Petterd, Byrnes, Karnezis, Knights and Varcoe are only 50-80k more.

Thanks all for the feedback, did have Kennedy at f5 and Karnezis at f6 but severly over thought things at the last minute, will have a bit of a restructure top work some cash out

yeah Spangher and Stringer are two blokes I'll be keeping an eye our for when teams are released, could give us another option altogether

Yeah Menzel is another bloke that has to be considered pending his selection on Wednesday!!

Got Patton at the moment, think you have probably overspent with both Patton and SOH though ADEZ/DT-SC...

If Menzel is named this week, I'll probs bring him in.

Added bonus is that we'll be able to see if he's sub or not ;)

Yep, good point. He'll be a very popular inclusion if he's named and not the sub. 8)

Could well mean the difference between me starting another mid-pricer (Petterd, Harper) or upgrading some of my other premiums 8)
