rookie defenders

[Matt_352]

Are there any decent cheap defenders at all ! Lol

Hi Matt, probably too early to tell, but theres a few guys to keep an eye on.

Fuller, from the bulldogs, has been in a lot of teams and is likely to get games this year, is also priced pretty cheap.

Cutler, from the Lions will likely play round 1 filling a spot in defence now that Docherty and Yeo have left. Is cheap and is probably the best bet for round 1.

Laidler from Sydney is another cheap option in defence, but not sure how likely he will be for round 1.

Kade Kolodjashnij is more expensive but is likely to play round 1, he will cost a little extra but you should be paying for extra job security.

Luke McDonald is also a little pricey but has played senior footy and is on the cusp of best 22 at North. Im personally not sold on his JS, and at such a high price if he has a couple of vest affected games he may even drop in price.

Agree with you zedd on all bar Cutler. Docherty and Yeo were both fringe players last year and often wore the vest. Injuries to Golby, Clarke and Merrett allowed them to get games.
As I see it Brisbanes back 6 for round 1 will be
B: Joel Patfull, Daniel Merrett, Ryan Harwood
HB: Mitch Golby, Jed Adcock, Daniel Rich with Justin Clarke on bench. Sam Michael has also been training at full back so Cutler would really have to shine in NAB to climb over any of these.

True, i've seen Cutler in a lot of best 22's so figured Brisbane supporters must rate him. Time will tell=)

Docherty and Yeo were both fringe players last year and often wore the vest.

Yeo played 19/22 games and didn't wear the vest once last season. He was a damn impressive 'fringe' player if thats what you want to call him ;)
