starting forward premos

[big_cox21]

who are the 6 main forwards over 400k on your radar?

everyone has their 1-3 locks and then depending on how many you are starting the last few spots are a toss up between a couple.

for me i don't really have a lock though in the forward line at all. dusty sure if he isn't suspended. but other then him theres no gray, mitchell, swan, goddard, bont etc.

before player positions were finalised to the public i never considered wingard, zach merret, dev smith, tippet, gunston and rough who are now forced onto my radar.

then the players you want to lock:
bennel never plays 20 games
dahl only has 1 good season behind him
lids and joey very pricey for me
zorko i just don't trust. only dominated once beams went down

atm i do have bennel, barlow, wingard, dev smith, with dusty zerret and maybe buddy in contention

who do you have locked and on the fringe and maybe even why coz I'm struggling to pick a strong setup that I'm confident in

[iZander]

Dusty, lids and barlow would be my three locks at the current moment :P

[GoLions]

Probably Dusty (if no suspension), Barlow, and Buddy for me, but that could change over the next month or two

Think Zorko is due for a big year as well

Then guys like Lids and Joey as upgrade targets I'm thinking

[Money Shot]

Dusty, Bennell and Barlow for me
Also have Dahl but he is less of a lock.

[Ringo]

Dusty the only one I am confident in.  At the moment also have Bennell and Wingard but that could change,

[RaisyDaisy]

Dusty, lids and barlow would be my three locks at the current moment :P

Currently have Martin,  Bennell,  Tippett, and Toby Greene,  D Wells,  Pettracca          Ahearn   and Pickett
Seeing Dusty and Bennell as keepers  ( if both behave ), Toby as a possible and either Tippett or Mumford as an upgrade for Goldstein pending on whom gets there first. Deledio, Zorko, Wingard and perhaps Dahlhaus as upgrades. Cheers,

[enzedder]

Dusty and Barlow are automatic selections. Bennell under Lyon and Pav will do well I think. I really like Dahlhaus too.
Leuey as R3/F4 and I'd love Wells to be a keeper but I can hear Kerrigan in the background telling me I'm dreamin. Lids and Monty upgrade targets.

[Dayze]

Same as a lot of u boys. Dusty bennell and buddy.
Feel like there is question marks on everyone forward. Can't see any of the top forwards becoming unobtainable. Think everyone is at least priced at what they will produce

[crowls]

dusty and bennell my only two atm

[Peter]

As you can see, most have slightly differing opinions here, with dusty the only certainty. Therefore, watch NAB and go with your gut, coxy

[Gigantor]

Deledio, Dusty, Barlow, Leuy, Wells, Kerridge (Petracca, Rookie)

Have had this fwd line for weeks now. Lids is 60k more than Bennell and only 45k more than Dahl so all this talk of being overpriced is a bit unfounded imo.

[Mat0369]

I think my temp forward line currently consits of Lids, Barlow, Gunston, Robbo, Anderson, Kerridge, Lamb and Petracca.

The way I see it, if Lids looks healthy heading into the season he picks himself.

Barlow as a forward looks too good to not start. With Fyfe probably being under done with the back you think it would be good for his scoring and he can go huge.

Gunston was really consistent up until the hand injury and the Hawks will likely structure up the same way which is good.

Robbo went huge at the back end of last year. If he plays the same role again I like him as a POD.

I'll look at Joey as upgrade number 1 on that line. It gives me some time to see if father time has caught up.

Harley I love as a player and I started with him last year, however he burnt me by getting into trouble multiple times. There are too many variables at Freo and I would rather avoid the potential disaster waiting to happen. He hasn't shown anything to prove he has matured and he still has questions on the body as well.

Dahl might see a role change which is either good or bad. Again I would rather wait and see.

Martin I'm avoiding early, I would rather Lids, he's there biggest difference maker and is worth the extra cash compared to someone that might miss round 1 anyway

[LordSneeze]

Right now Lids and Wells are locks, Only if both get through preseason unscathed.

[kilbluff1985]

Barlow and Zerrett my only locks
