Dusty, Barlow and Westhoff have been my F1-F3 for a few weeks now and have not changed.

Hoff could go depending on rookies but I don't have the nerve to only go with 2 forward premos.

Currently have Dusty and Barlow, but am considering going with a 3rd prem

Only problem is, besides the two I have there is not a single other forward I am completely comfortable and confident in picking  :'(

Joey?

Similar situation but I'm pretty comfortable with starting only 2 fwd prems if I have to.
With that said I do currently have Tippett at F3 then Wells, Bennedy, Menadue, Kerridge and Grimley. Tipp and Grimley in the fwd line with one of the King's on my ruck bench gives me extra flexibility there to swing Tipp into the ruck and leave Grimley on the bench if he isn't going too well. But Buddy or Zerrett are also tempting.

I think I'll hold firm with just the two prem starters, but I'll make sure I have mid dpp as well as Tippa or Adams at F8 to provide me with further dpp to my backs

Relying on 6 young cheap players, I want to have flexibility because they could get dropped etc

Currently starting with 3 premos. Wanna start with 4 (Stringer)
Dusty. Barlow. Robbo.
I feel there are better mid pricers in DEF than the fwd line (4 vs.1) and that's where I've spent some money.

I;ve been like this as well for basically the entire time SC has been open. I've toyed on putting Deledio there as well but the balance of rookies made me go against it and the current forward structure I have will be very hard to move from.

U rate Adams? I'll be very surprised if he gets a game

Word is Joey will play off of HB this year, should be good for 100 but without full mid minutes he should drop in value, upgrade target.

Dustin Martin should end up with a poor score tonight, I think everyone better get rid of him!

Ah, poor sarcastic call on my behalf, though I hadn't heard that news, hopefully he'll be right

Unfortunately, there may be no further indications before Round 1, but I'm happy to have Sam Gray as a back-up plan to Dusty at this stage.
