I think I like Witts over Sandi if I had to pick one.  Am I on my own with this?

That is a great poser, is Witts better value at his price, Sandi has the ability to score 100+, Witts probably doesn't? I think I'll stick with Sandi and hope he is serviceable for the early rounds.

I'm curious, why is no one talking about Stef Martin? Is it just the people prefer to go slightly more expensive for the "safer" options in Gawn and Goldy and/or the cheaper route in Witts/Nank/Sandi?
He burnt me to the core last year, and I hung around too long so staying right away.

Do see some merit in him though. Intrigued to see if the Witts and/or Sandi is an option though? Worst case scenario Witts is tearing it up and Sandi is going average and I just downgrade!

Think I'm down to my last decision

Witts and Buddy vs Goldy and Florent

Witts and Buddy methinks.

I have Nankilands
and Ryder in forward line, im tempted to get rid of ryder to make some more cash
But im worried about the R/F link being lost, what are people thoughts is the R/F link a must with Nankilands?

Not gonna move Nank into the forwards anyway

R/F link is a must for me if you have sandilands. Ryder should go 95+ for $418K, not sure why more are not picking him

R/F is really handy Ive found over the years...not that its ever helped me actually win

With DPP this is the one I favour the most,...even if you have at least 1 R/F in  either your fwd or ruck line it keeps your options open during that early season readjustment


Hawka

Hmm yea ive talked myself out of getting rid of Ryder haha

Taking Nankilands R1/R2 means you can't take the Nank at F3/F4, personally I don't rate Ryder, but this is just my opinion, he may play well this year, previousy when I have picked him he has disappointed.

This

Was talked up as becoming elite by many in the media years ago when Franks kicked 100 in a season and I honestly believed them..it was going to be the Franks and Ryder show

As many have said in other topics on other similar aged players, if it aint happened by now....its probably not gonna happen

There's something about all the late Freo games... the fact Sandi is 34 and has already taken a knock in a pre-season game.

I think people are underrating Witts ruck work at Collingwood.  Looking at the raw numbers is hard because he shared duties with Grundy so often.

Currently sitting with Stef Martin R1, Sandilands R2, Nankervis F4.

Happy to go in with that at this stage.

Ive decided to back in Sandi and Witts with Nank as cover, no matter what happens.
A lot will do the same. Gives ppl a good chance to let the dust settle a bit and pick up the top 2 rucks

Yep, top 2 rucks are up in the open this year. Could be Gawn & Goldy but could also be Martin, Hickey or Grundy. History tells you the rucks are the hardest to predict.
Lmao you're absolutely kidding yourself if you don't think Goldy + Gawn will be top the two

We shall see. If Spencer is playing for an extended period don't bet on it. I've also gone through the rationale with Goldy and I think he will be around the 105 mark.
