Upgrade time. Which forwards?

browncow1 · June 30, 2014, 11:12:37 AM

I plan on doing a double 'upgrade' in the fwd line this week if the dream team gods are kind. Without knowing which players will gain DPP status yet, who out of the current fwds would you bring in this week?

Upgrading Voldt and Tex.
Also currently have Harvey, Martin, Buddy and Zorko.

At the moment I am tossing up between two of Gray, Parker and Danger.
Which two would you choose? Are there any better options out there?

Thanks

I'm looking at Parker this week, but his forms been a bit down and with Tippett back maybe Buddy is the way to go?

Buddys last 6 lowest is 98.

Exactly, if he averages more than Parker for the rest of the year than you are one up on all those owners with Parker.

Already have Buddy.

The ideal top 6 forwards would surely be B Harvey, L Parker, R Grey, D Martin, P Dangerfield & L Franklin.

Personally, I've missed the Franklin boat, so I'll be sticking with Dahlhaus as my F6. S Martin will also be worth monitoring once Leuey is back as to whether he should stay in the forwardline or move to R3.

Yea, good call to be honest.

I have all of them except Gray, but have Tex Walker instead ( traded in BOomer Harvey for Nick Roo this week)

Why, what's Franklin worht? He's not more than Parker is he?

Franklin is $483k, which is less than Parker ($495k), but I already have Parker. It's Dahlhaus ($423k) that I have at F6, and I have bigger priorities to deal with (defence, and figuring out a way to get Rockliff and/or Kennedy into my MIDs) before I can deal with the Haus. By then I expect Franklin to be well over $500k given his recent run of scores.

How would you rank Danger, Gray and Parker in terms of importance to get in now? I'll be getting 2 of them. Danger is tempting at around $45,000 cheaper than the other 2.

Parker is a must-have, and Adelaide has a more DT-friendly run home than Port - so I'd recommend Danger over Grey.

K Jack now a forward LOCK

d.clohesy · July 02, 2014, 01:52:13 PM

Top forwards for the end of the year could/ should be harvey, k jack, franklin, parker, martin and danger i think. Though gray has to be close as well and if dahlhaus finds his form again then who knows..

Dahlhaus should pump out 90-110 as long as Griffen is out.

d.clohesy · July 02, 2014, 02:06:02 PM

Agreed. Dahlhaus should get some good scores. Even with griffin in the team. His issue was teams started to put a tag on him. He started to look like he wasnt interested in running to contests or trying to break the tag. Not his usual drive and energy..
