[Money Shot]

The ruck decision will defintely be a LONGer one but it will GAWN in no time before round 1

Haselby says that Nic Nat could miss the entire JLT series. Not a great lead into Rnd 1.

He's out for me, think I'll go Grundy who is trending up.

AFL site saying he is no certainty for R1 oh well might make the rucks a bit more interesting  ;)

There's no obvious pick here, Sauce is up & down, Stef Martin is ageing, Goldy is yesterday's hero. Reckon it has to be Grundy given his age and scoring trend.

Yeah it's going to be tough this year

I've ruled out NN for now, and there's no chance I'm paying up for Kreuz

Ryder has a poor bye, and I feel like he is priced at his max already

Stef might be on the decline, and has the likes of Archie and Oscar knocking the door

Goldy has Preuss

Honestly, I think it has to be either Sauce or Grundy, and I'm not thrilled with either but they are the only 2 I think make sense for now, but I'm sure the JLT will change our views

Lycett at 277k I'd love to start, especially if NN is going to take a while to get going

[Gigantor]

Grundy's scores go to shower when Cox plays

Longer not a temptation? Has the discount.

Good point. Forgot about Cox for some reason

Sauce it is then  :-\

4 tons in his last 7 games is encouraging, but at that price I think I'd rather spend the same amount on another line and get someone much more reliable to become a keeper and score more

Honestly, I'll probably be swayed by JLT and just decide after that because it's only a waste of time speculating now lol

Why not just pick Witts instead?

Why not just pick Witts instead?

Seriously considered him. Started him last year and he was fantastic but at his price now I just don't think he has the ceiling to justify picking him at his price

Shhh

Plus he has the early bye

[quinny88]

Still going nicnat as long as he is named round 1. Even playing sore will average 90+
Just need him to get through the first part of the season without a rest and then I'll be happy to trade to whoever is performing if he does get rested.
Sauce or Goldy are the only other 2 I would consider starting and Goldy has the same bye as Gawn plus the Preuss factor and Jacobs has averaged 86.8 and 95.7 the last 2 years in a good side so don't see where the improvement comes at 30 years old

Same bye as Ryder. Ryder at least finished the year very strongly and probably can average 2-3 more than his listed price given his poor start to the season.

I'm still on Sauce but tempted by Ryder

Currently have Gawn and Ryder. My speculation (thoughts) being that Ryder will outscore Jacobs and I save a trade by starting with him. So it comes to :-
saving a trade plus expected extra points  v  1 doughnut. More than obviously if Ryder were to outscore Jacobs over the 1st 10 Rds. it would be worth it without even saving the trade. Definitely leaning toward starting him ATM and because of this dilemna he is currently a POD, in only 8% of teams.

;)  Sorry Spite, I cut off the rest of your comment, as below.

Sauce it is then 

Exhausted possibilities mean all roads lead to Jacobs.

[shaker]

If NN does not get up and going he might be mothballed for the start of the season still not doing any competitive stuff and does not sounds like he is doing any jumping to test his knee so maybe if can find the cash Lycett might be a cash cow at R3 ?

Risky and not worth it IMO.
