I started both last year and will be starting both this year. Also will be using my redrock combo again which served me so well last year till Redden's injury.

I'm strongly considering Redrock, but I cant pick too many Lions :P. My premo mids may end up being Rocky, Gaz, Prestia and Redden haha.

I also have Rich so 3 lions in mids atm Rocky Redden and Rich supported by Gaz and Sidebottom.

Have my DT draft coming up and have 1st pick. Can't decide between Ablett (injury concerns) and Rocky (with Redden/Rich/Dayne Beams now in will they steal points)...

Any help?!

Grab Rocky mate. Safe as houses, especially in DT

why is it even a question?
Rocky (even with Beams/Redden coming in) drops what? 30 points? (and that really would be worst-case) then he'd still average 105

and then you've got a Gaj with no preseason
heck, I'd probably take a Lewis or Martin/Bartel/Simpson over Gaj personally

Personally am not starting with either. Going with a very risky midfield of, Lewis, Sidebottom, Beams and Stevie J. Squeaky bum time with those 4!

increase your risk
SJ as C, with Greene, McGlynn, Cotchin and Griffen - don't forget Wingard and Motlop in the fwds

personally, avoiding Ablett because of his limited preseason, but Rocky has made his way into my side (a spare 150k, why not upgrade Barlow)

Been tossing and turning about this for a while but have both.

Wasn't going to start Rocky because of his price but with Ablett's concerns he was the most logical person to bring in.

I liked the look of having Rocky in my team, so with Gaz now playing decided to bring him in and keep both.

Barra13 · April 01, 2015, 09:57:06 AM

Both for me.

Ricochet · April 01, 2015, 10:10:04 AM

Just Rocky, locked and ready to go

Got Gaz and putting the C on him, he will do his usual come in injured and pump 120+

Barra13 · April 02, 2015, 01:17:59 PM

Don't be so sure to put the C on Gaz just yet. If Mckenzie plays for Melbourne he could well shut him down and has down in the past. Mckenzie usually comes in when a hard tag is needed. If not, he will run head to head with Jones as has happened in the past also.

I'm more worried about Cross tagging him :-\

Barra13 · April 02, 2015, 03:21:10 PM

Crossy is a pretty decent tagger too but I don't think he would take Ablett.
