Biggs v Simpson this week?
Both have lowish BE's Biggs 89 and Simpson 78
Houli's BE is 106 so will pass on him for now

I love Biggs (because I have him in AXVs ;)) but kind of think Simpson is a safer option with history behind him. The Bulldogs Eithad run ends this week as well so that might put a bit of a damper on their scores? Having said that, "safe" is not always the best option ;)

I really can't decide between Rocky & Selwood. Rocky is a DT pig and if he stays fit will easily average 110+ IMO, but he keeps missing games. Can he be trusted moving forward?

Selwood is generally good for a low 100s average in DT but can he step it up to the next level. Danger's presence seems to be inspiring him, but will he keep it up?

This decision is driving me nuts. Ahhhhhhhh!

I'd probably take Simmo over Biggs but Biggs has been really good so far and seems to be a nice POD.

On Rocky vs Selwood I'd be inclined to say option C.

I don't really think of Selwood as an elite DT option. The reason he would score well in SC was the way he would win his possessions compared to number of total disposals.

I really don't know if we can trust Rockliff to stay healthy or not get suspended which is why I'd hold off there as well. I'm only going to look at him as a sideways trade later in the year if I have a couple left.

Yeah might go Simmo over Biggs,trying to get higher up overall and looking at the top 20 teams Simmo is more of a pod than Biggs is

The other thing with Biggs is he has generally been one week up then the next is a down week for a 70 odd (which is still good for a down week). He is due for a down one this week and might get the job on Eddie.

Had to bring in Castagna to defense to avoid a donut for Weitering (have Laird out as well)

Smith in for AMT

I brought in Simpson this week. Couldn't go to Boyd, which is who I should have gone to last week when I had the chance, and Biggs is too unknown at this stage. Also, Houli against the Hawks might not go so well either.

Went Menadue > Smith and Tippa > Dusty.

Was very tempted by Buddy as he has Essendon this week and also Gunston for around 50k cheaper but reckon Dusty will be better long-term.

Good move, Biggs might be a cheaper alternative when you make your next defensive upgrade.

Long term feel you've made the right move mate, Buddy owners will be licking their lips though this weekend, he could go very very large against the Bombers.

yeh I ended up going dea > dusty as well...looking the goods so far!

Ended up going Selwood, looks like Rocky couldn't be trusted.

There is another Geelong mid I am looking at that seems relatively cheap due to an injury.

Well done mate, dodged a massive bullet there!
