Which defender to finish side?

[_wato]

Thinking Harris Andrews myself, means I miss Yeo though. However thoughts are that scoring will be super similar between the 2, just that Yeo has a huge ownership so if he goes down big win for me.

Works both ways - if Andrews goes down or doesn't maintain big loss for you

I like Andrews as a pick - but not if you haven't got Yeo

Agreed. Yeo is a must have. Take out that horror game where he scored 27 and he's averaging 111

Isn't anyone worried about Hurley's role change?
He's obviously been told to focus on locking down first, and rebound second.
TMac is highest averaging back but costs 100k more. Not sure which way to go, as that 100k is real handy given I'm still 2 premos short after that trade(and Ahern trade) and only 7 trades left.

Can’t just pick and choose though, he did score 27 and it shows he can still post absolute shockers. I know it can go both ways but I think at this point of the year including the year I’ve had with injuries etc I’m gonna run out at some point and I’d rather bring in guys I like, Andrews being one of them. Plus watching Yeo is boring bc everyone has him, watching Andrews is fun bc nobody has him

Andrews 107 has averaged from rd 3 onwards if we wanna pick and choose, only 4 ppg from Yeo’s 111

You're the only person who seems to keep talking about a role change - other than part of one game where is this coming from?

The guys had a couple of years of excellent scoring now - at 460k he is great value, and I can't see a role change occurring where he all of a sudden becomes a dud

The lockdown even if true is overstated anyway. The majority of his points come from cheap kicks when his team is in possession. He's not going to turn so lockdown that even when his team has the ball he's going to stop getting the cheap uncontested marks across the back 50.

Seemed to me he was playing that role the whole Lions game, and like a definite defensive first mindset where he wasn't getting cheap marks/kicks and the team were using other options rather than always using Hurley. The commentators were saying it was a definite change that the Bombers were employing to improve defensively.

I could be reading too much into it, and I hope u guys are right. I'll most likely have to go with him as it means one less downgrade I have to make to complete team, and I'm getting low on trades.
Just get the feeling he could be going at 85-90 from here rather than 95-100, in which case Lloyd/Tmac would be better options.

Still stuck on Yeo v Andrews grr!!! More I think about it the more it just seems 'safe' and 'wiser' to pick Yeo

[Jimmykidd]

I'm stuck on this one too. The smart trade is Hurley because he provides so much value at that price but he hasn't been great lately. Also that would give me 6 of the most popular premos in defence. Would be nice to have 1 pod like crisp/andrews/hurn but it seems risky.

Just pick Yeo. He's in ripping form,playing midfield in a top team, unlikely to be tagged.
Don't over think it.

If I didn't have Yeo already and had that choice to make it wouldn't even be a question in my mind. Yeo is the easy choise IMO.

Go Yeo boys. Safe as houses
