So I'm looking to sure up bench cover in the forward line, getting rid of gray.

Current forward line is : Martin, Rockliff, Cloke, JJK, SJ, Boomer (Gray, Oxley).

I just wanna get everyone's opinions on Nroo. Do you guys think he will be put in cotton wool, or have a drop in output, or stay the same Nroo that has seen him one of the best forward options this year.

Or is someone like a bartel a better option?

BT

Just to clarify, Nroo wouldn't be bench cover.That would likely be Cloke/JJK/Boomer rotating through

Artax

I benched him over Cloke and JJK last week and it was the right move. Saying that I brought in Dusty who scored even less.

Can not decide who to bench this week, don't honk Roo will tear apart Hawthorn? Surely?

I've brought in Pav this week, very cheap and could go massive against GWS at Patersons.  Easy draw from here on in, and Lyon will need him getting in form ASAP.
Gotta take a punt at this stage, could give you the upper hand

Ricochet

Only dropped below 80 once this year and was an injury affected game. I would lock him in for an 85+ average for the rest of the year. Has been super consistent

Jukes

You'd want more than that for finals surely?

I'm jumping on Boomer Harvey (get it), 95 average this season and can't see him being rested late, and will give his all trying to give the roos a late season boost. And pretty much nobody has him.

Last 6 weeks: 96, 117, 80, 95, 125, 118

Averages against last four opponents: 88 (Adelaide), 98 (Essendon), 90 (Hawthorn), 100 (Collingwood)

So would I. But the question was an opinion about NRoo.

Boomer is a better option.

Artax

Probably bench NRoo in favour of Dusty, Cloke, JJK, Bartel, Rocky & SJ

I'd back in Nroo. Consistent as the come. Have him in my side and pretty content to back him in each week.

Either that, or you could look at Roughy. No Buddy + Saints without key defenders = Potential massive score. If your after a win this week and only need him for the one massive score, then he could be your man.

Bartel is good, but his new role has limited his output. He's moved into the back half in a defensive role, ever since Caddy has come into the side and taken his spot in the mids.

Either way, whoever you bring in; I'd be benching Cloke this week. Up against the Swans this week, where it is expected he will output a low score.

The sneaky pav. I like it. A very viable option given his next 4, not to mention it was suspension so could still train

Good points, but already have boomer.
