any walters owners worried about him being named in the fwd pocket instead of a bit further up the ground?

Nope. Should get similar minutes as last year

My gut is telling me to pick Bell

I was looking at him before the JLT, and he has earnt his spot because he was tackling like a machine and I think Brisbane lacks big bodied mids which is why I've always thought he would play

His scores in the JLT just affirmed what I was thinking

The forward line is doing my bloody head in because all the guys I actually want all have the same bye, so I can't get them

I might just go with Bell and if he backfires it should be a relatively easy fix. I know Cyril is only 20k more and is much more proven, but his lack of preseason and general injury concerns are turning me off him

Bell is the better player to Bundy and Cyril is injury prone. I've always thought he would go into a midfield and be a contested ball machine, he was too valuable to Carlton as the 3rd forward that could cause matchup problems so that's why he played there. Brisbane were using him as the 2nd tall in patches and with the niggles his footy suffered. If he is fit and firing he could turn into a keeper at F6 at his price. Scores are a rollercoaster though.

Matho recovering from a hammy which is why Bell is in atm. Matho not far away.

Bundy > Bell

Make of it what you will. I'm not starting Bell.

Well considering you do the opposite of everything I do, I guess that means I have to start Bell then :-\

Really wanted to start Darcy MacPherson at F5 over Bundy, Bell, etc but chickened out. Started off well, obviously only 1 week in though.

RaisyDaisy · March 25, 2018, 12:10:14 AM

Even though Bell only scored 60 I liked what I saw, especially considering he was on 8 at 1/2 time

Cyril and Bundy didn't do much better, so far all the value forwards have been average so no gain/loss really so far

Adamant · March 25, 2018, 12:23:21 AM

Aaron Young.

Also Dunkley hasn't played yet.

Bundy worked into the game and got cleaner as it progressed. Still confident he can get to an 85 average

He's my F5 in AF and F6 in SC! Very happy with his effort in those conditions

Very happy with a 280k Dunkley in 2% of teams. Pulls an 87 in an 80 point loss. Its exactly what you want, just a cheapie who can post decent scores so you dont have to field any of the terrible fwd rookies.

Agreed, glad I went with Dunkers over the other options.
