Best Prem Forward

[_wato]

Do you have prems on any other lines PB? ;)

Check out Motlops last 4 games, our finals and it's a pretty cushy draw.  MARTIN WITH HIM.    ;)

[Swoozie]

Current Forwards are: Dahl, Barlow, Hall, Wells, ???, B.Kennedy

I've got Tippet in the ruck and the plan was always to move him down to F6 to provide some ruck cover. I've been happy with his past month so he's a keeper at the moment. Barlow, Hall and Wells all looking likely to miss this week but I'm happy to back them all in and keep them which means just the one forward spot left. (Maybe a F7/M9 later in the season)

Really tossing up between Zork, Montagna or Martin. Thoughts out of those three?

I'm in the same boat this week.. I already have Martin. It depends on your bye structure but I think Montagna will average just as much as Zorko in the run home and is $37k cheaper from memory...
So I'm leaning to Montagna

check out stkilda's draw.

only leave melbourne twice and one is GC. play the dons twice including 1 this week.

certainly looking at Nroo or Monty.

Yeah they defiantly have a good run home! My worry is injuiries to Montagna and roo. They're not going to play finals and they might get tested here and there.. Roo would be such an awesome POD

im less worried about Monty injuries and he is 40k cheaper. not sure i can fit either in this week. Too many other problems.

I reckon ill jump on lids instead.

[RaisyDaisy]

Can I get some suggestions please

Which forward should I pick out of Montagna, Dusty and Zerrett?

I think I actually want to go with Zerrett, but he copped a knock at training today and I would hate for him to be a late out

Dmart.

looked great since lids back. 3 straight 100s just safe. been great for years

[Woppa15]

Zorks was my target this week but I wasn't keen to pay top dollar for him. So last night I brought in Montagna, very happy too. My final two fwd places will be out of Zorko, Dahl, Martin and maybe even Deledio.

[mzunguman]

Merrett V Joey???

[crowls]

Merrett V Joey???

joey better value at the moment.    Looking forward to getting lids in a couple of weeks as well,

What's your bye situation like crowls?
I'm thinking along the same lines but if I get in lids and Joey it'll be 11 players sitting out the bye (inc rookies)

Can someone talk me out of bringing in Josh Kennedy (WCE) over upgrading my backline? Is the only argument volatility?

My reasoning:
Backline is my weakest group and needs a number of upgrades - Shaw, Rich, Tippa, DBJ, Wagner (trading out for JK via DPP), Hartley (Houli, Tucker)
however the available options are not as cheap as Kennedy, are averaging less, and have higher BEs (e.g. Simpson, Rance, etc)

Midfield is solid - Danger, Treloar, Parker, Ablett, Viney, Priddis, Libba, Wells (J Smith, R Davis, D MacPherson)
and premo mids available are all expensive (e.g. pendles, hanners) so don't see the value in upgrading here just yet...

Forwards could use an upgrade (not as desperate as down back, but still) - Zorko, Martin, Hall, Kerridge, Adams, Petracca (BenKen, M Brown)
J Kennedy is the third highest averaging forward (after Zorko and Waite) and is cheaper than the rest of the guys around him (Merrett, Dalhaus, Montagna), has a lower BE, and gets the Suns this weekend..

Realise he is likely to be a bit more volatile than most premos, but I'm struggling to justify any other move.

On a side note, my other trade this week is likely to be a Gawn to Goldy swap..

He just became a dad, loss of sleep and stress incoming!
