Defence Talk

[Rossiii]

I'm in the same boat.. Biggs or rich for mine. Can't decide.

[Mat0369]

What are we thinking on Burgoyne? He was a top 10ish guy two seasons ago, dropped a little bit last year but has been rather consistent this year.

He had the one down week against the Saints but so far his scores are 95, 80, 121, 68 and 97. He is one that sort of goes under the radar.

I'm thinking either one of him or Boyd next week as both should be around 460k and I can do a trade for EMack without burning to much of my cash.

[RaisyDaisy]

I reckon defense is still a lotto Mat, and we need more time

Just keep fielding rookies for now and use your cash elsewhere - that's what I'm doing

But, if you had to pick one I'd have Boyd over Burgoyne

[Mat0369]

I think Boyd will be cheaper but I could see both being in my final team. I only have two premos down back (Bartel and Smith) so I am filling out the rest of my starting 6 with rookies and EMack. Both Burgoyne and Boyd should be close to bottoming out so that is where I will look first. I will still have close to 300k in the bank after the trade as well.

Meanwhile on other lines I have 5 premium players in the mids with Kerridge, Libba, Mills, Hewett, Davis and Menadue, 2 in the ruck and 3 in the forward line with Wells, Kennedy, Walla, Brown and McCarthy. Defense makes the most sense to upgrade at this point.

and in some unusual good news, I dont have Rance, who will get a rest next week for that hit on Watts

[TomK]

Speaking of Richmond defenders, Houli will be pretty cheap soon

[sammy123]

gibbo scoring bad doesn't worry me. but houli 2 weeks in a row

[Keeper27]

DEF premos have been to up and down for me, will be the last line to upgrade IMO.

[Judd Magic]

I reckon Simpson is worth bringing in this week.

Wont be this cheap again for a while IMO.

Super consistent too.

Very,very last line - Adams, DBJ, Tippa are almost producing premo stats - Given that a Shaw, Houli, Laird are scoring a 110+, the next week a 70.

[GoLions]

May bring in one of Shaw/Simmo this week for Lonergan. Butttttt could also get a mid or a fwd...Jelwood is tempting if he doesn't get suspended (heard he may cop a week for something?).

Selwood should be ok GL. He started the tiff but and gave Trengrove an open 'slap' in which was retaliated by a closed fist to this upper chest/throat. If anyone goes down for that tussle, it'll be Trengrove.

Yep I agree, looking fantastic so far this year

Fyfe->Simpson
BKen -> Sloane

Penciled in pending final price changes.

Wanted Simpson all season but he was just that awkward price of not going up/down too much,

After 104, 86, 84, 101 and 129 with a BE of 65.. he's either one to get in or let sail. Im getting in with the above.
