hey fatty,
Had Gilbee for the first time last season and I must say pretty much let me down. Got stuck in 50's rut for alot of the year and was not the scorer I expected. For his money I reckon you should go for McPhee or Osborne, due to their multi-positioning and more likely to get a good score. McPhee was surprisingly good last year. With Kite, keep a watch on Gallman too as they appear to be vying for Bassetts vacant spot. Also heard scotch whiskey (ballantyne) picked up an injury of sorts. Go for Taylor Walker as back up in case.

Sorry mcwarney, forgot to mention that SC is my game and Gilbee comes highly recommended. Thanks for heads up about the Whiskey. Not sure about Walker though. The Professor (Craig) has been notoriously conservative with this young bloke.

I know mate, I barrack for the Redlegs and Walker has been braining them in the SANFL.

Cheers.

Actually Gilbee did score better at SC if I remember correctly Fat. You should be right with him then. Being a Legs fan, there is no need to sell Walker to you, you will be well versed. Went to the double header first finals (as a double blues fan for the second game) but went early and saw him in the Elim v Port. That made my mind up about him. If you are not sure whether Craigy will go with him or not, flip into www.foxsports.com.au/afl and about half way down there is an article called "Taylor's time to take up attack". You wont be in any doubt then as I reckon he will play at least as many games as Tippett did last year (probably more).

Hi Fatty, Im Biggie LOL :D

Nice side man, I see you took Boomer over Riewoldt.

Ottens is getting on a bit so I would monitor his actions like a hawk.

Gilbee will have a great SC season, I have him. :)

Gidday Biggie, I love the big Otto mate but I was thinking of putting McIntosh in there as I reckon his price might rise. Cox/Simmonds is also a tempting combination as many had last year.

McWarney - there seem to be a lot of value amongst the young forwards. If Walks gets as many games as Tippett last year he'll get more points and more value IMO.

I've got no idea on the Gallman/Kite battle and isn't Patrenko in the running as well? Don't see as much of the SNAFL these days as I now live in Qld.

Cheers.

If you can't fit Dew into your side then Johncock has no hope!!

Dont forget Ryder and McMillan from NZ (for your fantasy cricket team!!)
Yeah, I am not sure who is most likely out of Gallman/Kite/Petrenko.
Someone has to replace Bassett and they say that Gallman is another Ben Hart. But the way he played for Norwood last season, Kite could be ready to take off (nyuk, nyuk!!)
