Like Walters, Smith, Petracca but a little unsure on Simpson. Think all three have a huge upside especially Walters if you can believe Ross.  Are you thinking of Bundy or AhChee as well?
Simpson doubt is mainly due to age nearly 34. Against that and one that really stands out is for the last 9 years has averaged over 90 every year and only missed 5 games. (Hope that does not put Ringos injury curse on him now,)
So probably the cheaper option overall for me.

I know this is a bit extreme but I am considering going: Stringer, Delidio, Rioli, Bundy, Ah Chee, Venables (Ahern, Garlett) Use the money to sure up other lines.

Mine is Gunston, McLean, Petracca, Bundy + 2 rookies.  So we are starting to get away from cookie cutter maybe.

Okay this is probably a dumb question but with the forward line looking very shakey with injuries im thinking of getting a few of those 480k-430k forwards as my first three and then upgrading Brayshaw to Simpson.

What are peoples thoughts???

Walters, Smith, Petracca, Simpson v Heeney, Greene, Billings, Brayshaw

cheers.

1 keeper, 2 potential keepers + Petracca (unlikely keeper) vs 3 keepers and 1 unlikely keeper.

I agree with this. Heeney Greene and Billings if stay injury free should all be top 6-8 forwards. Brayshaw a stepping stone into what is also a hard line to get right in defense. Definitely prefer option 2 although i do like walters and devon smith. Walters atm isn;t in my team because of his bye as i still have heeney and billings. Also keen to see if Bennell plays early and if so will it affect Walters midfield time.

Simpson and Rioli/Delidio v Greene and Brayshaw

Simpson would be at D4 and Lids/Rioli at F3
Greene would be at F3 and Brayshaw at D4

Greene F3 and Brayshaw D4. Think this leaves ya team with better balance. Injury to Rioli or Lids would really cause some issues for ya forward line if the rookies aren’t available

Yeah, this just seems like the safer option. Would rather have 1 mid pricer in the defence and 1 in the forward line rather than 0 in the defence anc 2 in the forward line for that reason.

If one of the forwards goes down it will be much harder to cover.

Just not liking that practically ever forward has some risk involved.

Mantis

Speaking of risks haha

Coniglio M6 + Jom M7
Vs
Bont M6 + LDU M7

Points wise I think option 1 but option 2 saves a trade and would have better cash generation. Also less risk

I've picked Coniglio because I believe he will be a keeper, very similar to the Marc Murphy situation last year. JOM not so sure about, would even attempt to get JOM up to Coniglio and keep Bont.

I'm waiting for updates and JLT on Heeney,Billings and co. Considering Walters regardless, Smith I'm unsure on, alot of players "getting more midtime" at Bomberland. Petracca possibly more upside being cheaper.
Lots of value in fwds but don't want to pick too many.
Option 2 gives 3 definite keepers whereas option 1 who knows? - could be 1 keeper or 4. I'd just keep options open, the fwds are starting to be a nightmare worse than the rucks lol.

Crouch v Merrett v Bont v Pendles

Which 2?

Danger, Martin, ______, ________, Fyfe, Cripps , LDU, Baily

Ringo

Crouch and Merrett for me but only problem 4 would have Rd 14 bye so maybe Merrett and then Toss a coin between Bont and Pendles - Pendles will Bucks use him as a mr fix it again this year effecting his scoring or will he revert to his rightful place.
Bont will he get some consistency into his game this year and get rid of the less than 90 scores.

I'd go with Bont and Pendles but tbh you can't go wrong with any of them
