Lids vs Nroo vs Buddy? Who is the best forward option?

Degsman · June 28, 2016, 05:27:54 PM

Hey guys,

Current forward line looks like this:

Zorko, Martin, Merrett, Montagna, Wells, ?????

Looking for the best forward option out of the 3 stated for my last team upgrade

Concerns are with Lids and Nroo's chance of injury but they are more likely to score better than buddy. Greatly appreciate any thoughts :)

Buddy with $70k and $80k profit on both probably wins it for him.

If cash isn't an issue, Lids all the way.

Thanks Wato

I agree, the cash is very appealing but at this stage it would just be cash in the bank for future injuries and maybe to grab better cover

So I think cash isn't really an issue :)

Can't bring myself to bring in a key forward (buddy is an exception to the general rule as i'm sure you know)

I just feel as though his floor is too low, relying too much on kicking goals for points

Lids or Buddy , Nroo is a champ but can't help feel he will get injured whenever he plays

NRoo looks so tempting...

Career average of 111 at Etihad and 6/9 including 6 of the last 8 remaining games at Etihad (doesn't leave Melbourne after this week)

Has GC (career average of 115) and then Ess (who he went 117 on this year), Melb (who he went 137 on), NM (who he went 142 on) and Dogs (who he went 101 on)

Plays Brissy in the SC final too.

Only thing is he can chuck in stinkers (33 and 45, however both at AO) but his draw looks good and I don't expect another terrible score again.

Those stats are so tempting but I don't know if I could it!

Well with Barlow out for a month Barlow - N ROO looks tempting

Very good points

Leaning towards Nroo now! :P

Almost started with both Lids and Nroo and been wanting them all season, will probably have to flip a coin or something but Tiger bias might prevail.

sammy123 · June 28, 2016, 10:54:57 PM

i like buddy been pretty consistent.

but nroo a good POD

HotTiges · June 29, 2016, 12:16:39 AM

Buddy is tempting at that price as I do have Adams still.He's had the GC game when it was a swimming pool and when the Swans were flogged by GWS as the shockers so not too bad.. NRoo has only put in 2 shockers vs Port and Adelaide at AO..otherwise bloody consistent..I've been tempted by JJK a few times but as mentioned I'm a touch nervous bringing him, not long ago he was over 530k now only 489k so he's a bit of a rollercoaster..So maybe in my situation, Buddy might be the one..

Has to be lids.

NRoo is a gun but consistently over his whole career he drop some ffeel no the second halfway fo the season. Can't see why this year would be anybody different.

Buddy, as goodness so he's been he is only averaging 95. Still has too many average games.

Lids is a star. Is unique, kicks goals and should get more of a run through the midfield as the year wears on
