What's Your Troubling Position/s?

RaisyDaisy · March 07, 2015, 12:45:35 PM

What position/s are giving you the showers? And what advice can you give?

For me:

D2: I have Simpson locked at D1, but D2 is giving me the showers. I've rotated Smith, Shaw, Hibberd, Birchall etc and I just cant figure out who is the best pick for D2

D5: Like D2, I cant decide if I should go with a premo, or a mid pricer. Deciding on which mid pricer is giving me the showers too!

F1: I'm going light in the forwards with Swan at F2, but again I cant decide on who to start out of Gray, Goddard, Deledio, Franklin, Martin and even Bartel

So, what positions are you not settled on and what suggestions can you share?

D3: Back Premo behind Simpson and Shaw... Would be Hibberd if not for all this ASADA shower

D6: in the same boat as most others... Hopefully whitecross named round 1

R1/2: NicNat is locked, just tossing up whether to go with Goldy or a cheaper option like Zac Smith or Belly

F1: Goddard? Buddy? Bartel? Gray? Deledio? Too many options!

After Leuey's performance last night the rucks , I have no idea what way to go with all rucks :-\

For you
D2: Shaw lock him in
D5: a midpricer for me... Take your pick: Geary, Bewick, Pearce, Macmillan etc...
F1: I think Grays price tags will deflate significantly. The tiger boys' draw is very nice indeed, I love the look of dmart this year.

For me:
D3&4: I have Shaw and Newnes locked in at d1&2 MacMillan at 5. The players I'm considering are: Rampe, Bewick, Geary, Seedsman and Hibberd. (Bewick and Rampe at the moment)
M5: not sure if I go Low end premo (crouch, wines), Midpricer (Wallis) or Top end rookie (NVB/Cripps), currently crouch occupies the spot.
F4: it's rookie or midpricer. Jack Martin or Salem. All jack Martin has to do for me today is run through the midfield and produce a solid well rounded game. Possessions, TACKLES and s goal or two. Then he's locked.

Clearly d6 should be everyone's most troubling position.... There is no rookie d6 that will play at this stage aside from Browns 40-50

The other position is actually m5/f4
To pick a premo or to pick a rookie. Rookie pretty much will sure up my other positions but obviously dents that line considerably

D5, M5, R2, F3

Mainly for structural reasons

Big Mac · March 07, 2015, 12:58:34 PM

I've had Simpson, Shaw, Hibberd and Hurn locked in defense for months now - All proven players. Hibberd would probably become Birchall if there were to be any issues with ASADA. I think going with a midpricer at D5 is the best option, as it allows two spots to pick up anyone who breaks out during the year.

I'd lock Buddy in at F1, but not everyone likes roller coasters. Goddard would be my next pick

BigMac_93 · March 07, 2015, 01:27:34 PM

D3: As said above, Hibberd worries me with the ASADA thing. I am rotating between him, Hodge, Smith and can't decide.
D6: I really hope whitecross plays round 1.
F4: I have Bellchambers right now but still not certain about him, I could go a cheaper option such as Salem to free up some cash. And again he faces the ASADA issue.

M1. 3 candidates 3 shoulders.

Mat0369 · March 07, 2015, 02:19:59 PM

Pretty much my entire defense minus Simmo.

M4/5

R2/3

F4-F6

Footyrulz · March 07, 2015, 02:23:53 PM

The whole defence. :P

Go for a 200k+ rookie (NVB, Newton or Biggs) at M5 and then strengthen your backs. Can't take too many risks down there IMO

rucks are by far the biggest heartburn. New rules, injuries, no pre-season form (Nic Nat, I'm looking at you), don't know whether to go super cheap, super premo, no coverage , ASADA because I really want Ryder, two PODS, one POD and one super premo?

:o

Yeah, I've decided against going set and forget there largely because that doesn't give you any upgrade room. I wouldn't mind waiting and seeing how different players go first.
