Whats everyone doing with pectracca? Ive got him sitting at f8 currently. Was trying to turn him into dunkley but go no mid/fwd link i can move as menadue has played.
Do i trade him to papley or wait for him to get named?  Apparently tore up the intra club today.
Already got bennedy Mccarthy kerridge wells at f4-f7

Also anyone looking at O.McDonald. 155k in the backline and with not many choices could be worth a look. However i think dunn will take his position if he doesnt perform. Just wanting other peoples opinions cheers.

I personally don't think the mid/fwd link will be too important in the early part of the season. We all should have playing rookies. Will become important during the bye rounds and back half of the year when there aren't too many rookie options. I'm going to start with Dunkley/Gresham/Davis on my bench with the plan to turn one into Petracca when he's on the bubble

Honestly I don't know a single Melbourne supporter who expected him to be named, surely he is dropped as soon as Dunn is fit again

I can't see him being a solid scorer anyway

I am playing Mills at M7 and gresham at M8 with Benndy, Dunkley, Davis on bench.

Fwds are Kerridge and Menadue at F5,F6 with Mcarthy and Milera on bench.

Not taking Petracca due to uncertainty even if he returns Rd 3 not on bubble till rd5.  So a handy downgrade rookie adjustment and that is assuming he is right for Rd 3.

I have him on the bench purely because he is all I can afford and there is no one else , who knows he might surprise but if not it is 155K sitting there when someone else is on the bubble

Realistically how long can papley last in the swans side? Im real desprate for a forward rookie

Does Gresham really have better js than Dunkley?

So are most going Hewett over Dunkley and McCarthy over Papley?

Better yet, who isn't and why?

I decided to get in both Hewett and Dunkley at the expense of Gresham. Both guys scored well in the pre-season, are cheaper and I am not as sold on Gresham's JS as others are.

McCarthy over Papley because I think McCarthy's draw opens up over the next three games to maybe have a spike in his scoring post Hawks. Menzel out is pretty big so he could have some heat on him to perform. It's a bit of a crapshoot there but I have Menadue at F7 for now which I am happy with. I just need F8 to make me some early cash.
