So what's the verdict on Wingard?

Is he worth rolling the dice on?

I figure my season has been a complete mess up until this point so why not go with this as I've got not much left to lose lol

Wingard way too risky, surely there's some better options for an extra 70k.

Westhoff the better pick long term imo, but weather could be an issue for the beanpole tonight

Gray playing more mid and killing it

I've loved the conversation here lads, some great input and insight on all the Port forwards.

Went Gray myself in the end, doing well so far. Not too worried about how much time he spends forward, he's still one of the most damaging forward 50 players in the league. Midfield time is just a bonus.

Really wish I didn't pick Boak last week

Glad I got in Gray and The Hoff this week  8)

Boaks  been killing me. Lucky my opponent had Macrae VC to even it out. On the downside I grabbed McLean a week early with a BE of 150 odd to try and beat him. FMSCL! >:(

Bully

Just some notes on Boak, was a much better game than the stats suggest, was robbed an advantage goal after a Dixon free, copped some horrible umpiring decisions for incorrect disposal & had 6 points taken of for entering the protected zone. From the naked eye it was easily an 80+ game. Not concerned, I think he will bounce back strongly.

I think the biggest problem is that Boak & Ebert are the main 2 sacrificing their mid time & contributing elsewhere so we can get the best out of the likes of SPP, Rocky & recently Chad.

Agree with both of you, but it's still frustrating as hell that I could have bought in Hoff 2 weeks ago (91 & 116) but chose Boak because he had the smaller BE for 74 & 64  >:(

had to trade one of walters/devon and chose walters and got westhoff. very happy with that score especially when hoff was on 39 5 mins into the 3rd qtr

Westhoff is finally putting up the numbers that I thought he would back when we signed Ryder. He's allowed to do whatever he wants out on the field, it's brilliant. Glad I jumped on after we had our bye. It did look like he had about 4-5 HOTA last night too, helped that we had no ruck opposition, won't be as easy against Melbourne for him or Ryder in the ruck.

As for Gray, superstar, get him in if you don't own. Something always looks like happening when he's near the ball.

I thought Wingard played mids last week just to get some confidence back then he'd go back forward, maybe it's going to be a permanent thing, I can't tell. When we have Wines, Rocky, SPP in the middle Wingard and Gary give some speed in there, unlike Boak or Ebert. That makes me think it may continue.

I'd be avoiding Boak, doesn't have the ceiling the others do.

And although he's not a fwd in this comp, geez Rocky was good to watch last night. Watched him lead the team out onto the ground, he was directing the warmups pre-game. That made me feel like he was gonna have a big night and trading him in was a good call. Then around the ground he was setting everyone up at stoppages, really looked like he wanted to put in a big game. Still gets no gametime though, 72% TOG the 2nd lowest behind Marshall for us!

Got him 3 weeks ago, worst three scores for the year

Me too. I was so close to going the Hoff, oh well....
