The queries remain about Danger and Selwood and the risks of selecting both but it could be a lot riskier if IMO if I don't pick both if the cats win 16-18 H+A games.

I was thinking this too, but Pendles & Swan was a legitimate combo once upon a time

Last year you could have easily had hannebery and JPK who both played 22 games and both scored more points than Fyfe in total

Don't think it's such a bad thing - just need to convince ourselves it's not a negative to have two mids from the same team

Even incorporating Danger into a duo. He played with Sloane last year and Sloane averaged 113 un subbed last yearand he is what you might say a poor mans version of Selwood

The danger effect could be a positive one - he could lift scores around him due to his ability to win contested ball/break away from contests and get the hands off...

The question is..If you have a current midfield of Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, Ablett, Rockliff, Crouch, Mills, Gresh...how the hell do you fit in selwood????

The temptation is to drop Ablett since he hasn't played one practice ga or Even take Selwood over Rocky as Selwood has been doing what Rocky has been doing for a few more years

Was in my original team but left him out with a wait and see attitude on fitness.

Libba gets the boot, welcome home Selwood!

Fyfe. Danger. Ablett. Rocky. Selwood. Crouch. Mills. Sub 200k rookie x4.

I cant make thr fall to be honest...fyfe is the best player in the game, danger still has 5ppg value potentially, pendles and ablett both have 10 ppg value in them

“I don’t reckon I’ll play every game of the year but I don’t reckon I’ll miss too many.

This turn anyone off?

A little, but not enough to not pick him

He might play rd1 and if he pulls up sore he might rest against GWS or Brisbane.

At the end of the day, any player could miss at any time

i would love to start him. not game enough though

jfitty

Toying around with Ablett, Pendles, Selwood, Rockliff, Libba. If they were all to reach their potential, the rest of the team is looking really strong..

Goosey

Well, I am already picking Ablett and Rocky off no game time, why not Selwood from one scratchy?

elephants

I'm still treating him as an upgrade target but being priced at 104.5 really doesn't give him that far too fall.

ronl

Fyfe, Danger, Ablett, Selwood, Rocky, Libber, Crouch, Mills.

Fid

I'm tossing up between him and Shiel for M5

Brave not starting Fyfe and Danger, could well end up chasing your tail there

I re-arranged my team to bring Jelwood in for Brad Crouch

Midfield of Fyfe, Danger, Ablett, Rocky, Jelwood, Libba, Mills, Oliver (Menadue, Gresham, Davis)

I am very happy with that.

Libba too I'm guessing?
