HELP!

jvalles69 · April 26, 2016, 01:09:58 PM

Struggling to see who I need to bring in first for Sam Gray. Please vote for 2 players. They are all virtually the same price, and I see all BE's as attainable except for maybe Gray's. Also can I get reasons for your picks and possibly of ranking them in order of must get. ;D

It's a tough one. I'm probably leaning towards Bernie or Kelly at the moment.

I really hate to say it but I think Rocky has finally burnt me too many times to consider at the moment. I'm sure I'll bring him back in again at some stage, but I want to see him show some big scores first.

Gray is a better SC option than AF but now having FWD status counteracts that a bit. His last couple of weeks have concerned me though as he has spent a lot of time forward has a looked very frustrated out there. Port being shower doesn't help either.

I was going to ask opinions on Dusty myself. He's cheap now, but his (and Richmond's) form has not been very good (which is obviously why he's cheap). I'm not sure about jumping on him yet.

Tough to split the other 2. Bernie does have slightly easier next 5 weeks.

Not sure if any of that helps :-\

Bernie with the low BE, good upcoming draw DPP is a must get IMO. I will be trying to find a way to bring him in this week.

Gray and Rocky can wait another week to drop a bit of coin.

Good points guys, was leaning towards Rocky because well he's Rocky! Will have a proper look at vinces numbers. The problem with waiting on Gray/Rocky AK is other issues might arise blocking me from bringing them in. Either way I think I want all of these guys in my team at some stage, I'm ranked in the 200's and maybe I'll wait on Rocky to hit a bit of form before I bring him in.

By means of elimination I end up with Vince & Kelly.
It wouldn't hurt to see Rocky ton up twice in a row first as he has been injured a lot the last 2 years + his BE is large enough atm.
Robbie Gray is a must as a FWD but also has a large BE so can wait a week or 2.
Dusty is a gun as a FWD but his price is also going slowly south atm.
One would think Vince would def be top 6 as a DEF so you cannot go too far wrong + he has only missed 3 games in 3 & a bit seasons.
Kelly I am not so convinced but he has a low of 91 (av. 104) this year so once again that easily puts him in the best 6 DEFs providing he can av. 90+ from here on in & depending on the rounds 12 & 18 changes.
Personally I am gonna chase $ with Fantasia & maybe Wright cos my overall is poor anyway (Rank 6476).
Finished 27th last year. Not happening this year.

I keep going to look at everything and gut keeps going with Rocky for some reason...gives me all possible keepers in the mids including Duncan and Hunter who will only be upgraded when the rest of the team is complete (if at all they need upgrading).

I completely agree with that
The burns are too real with Rocky, that I almost can do without him this season (as much as I'd like to put him in there)

I also feel that being at the Lions means that they'll play him even when he's not 100% (so like coming back from injury - case 1 his ribs last year) which can only hurt his DT potential

Crap, just realised I can only bring in a fwd or mid anyway! :( Will have to be Rockliff, Zorko, Merrett, Martin or Gray I think...

That is unlucky considering how many popular rookie BCK/FWDs there are.

Yep, my earlier trades required me to move Tippa and Adams to my forward line...

Hopefully a blessing in disguise.
