Daniel v Billings v Walters?

Thinking of waiting for Kelly until next week, as all of these have lower BEs. Very tempted to have a crack at Walters as he’s an excitement machine to watch as well, but is he worth the risk...?

I really don't understand overlooking Kelly when he's clearly the best candidate, 490k is cheap & he could easily hit his BE. As for Walters, when he breaks down in the first quarter & you're lumped with a virtual donut then you'll realise the risk.

Have been burnt by Walters before, but when he’s on... ;D

Kelly would be the plan next week, but if I get him this week I won’t have much choice next week - probably only Daniel of these, which is why I’m looking at waiting

I have my sights on Daniel. He just runs around getting the pill off half back and is usually effective doing it. I'm not touching Walters and I don't trust Billings yet.

I’ve done a heap of homework on these 3 and still can’t split them! But if Kelly is the 4th option you’re considering, I’d go him easily.

I’m personally very conscious of these early season bolters who crash back down to earth. Kelly has a settled role, and I feel like he’s most likely to keep it up.

Cheers for the advice guys. Just had a look at rankings as well, and surprisingly none of the top 7 teams have Kelly, so even in a search for a POD he might be the one this round still. This could be a good round to close the gap, as team 1 is missing Gawn, and has Merret as well, who was quieter than normal

take Stack's 72 over or field both LDU/Constable?

Boak, think Hutchings will go to Kelly and keep his score down. Looking at grabbing him next week.

Sicily or Simmo?

Has to Sicily right now. Simpson's last two weeks were against inferior opposition in a win and what should have been a win. I don't know if he'll score well in Carlton's losses any more. Age might finally have caught up.

Thinking one this week, one next anyway. To be honest, Simmo hasn't looked bad at all. Newman has been stealing some of his kick-ins and without being able to play a loose as often with the 6-6-6 we can't manufacture him behind the ball as easily. I do think the back 6 are settling in nicely now.

They legit both have the same BE (79), one is just 70k cheaper and both don't have great scoring history against the other team. I'm likely to take your advice because that's where my gut is going for this week as well. No Jed Lamb to make Sicily agro and not concentrate on the ball. It also gives me another week to look at Simmo

Another one to add to the mix is Daniel. So Daniel vs Sicily?
