2019 Defenders

[Money Shot]

I had Mills cemented in my team with that talk of mid rotation, Lloyd out today probably could be the reason why but Mills has gone back to half back and is playing well... Idk if thats a good sign.

He has definitely been on my watch list as well.

Williams, Smith and Roberton are all locked in my team so can’t really afford to risk it on another mid pricer.

McGrath and Newman the other two I think could kill it this year.

[crowls]

Smith and Roberton the value risk plays,  the others are all hopeful breakouts.  Harder to predict a breakout. 
Anybody else concerned about Laird?

People say dont worry about JLT but when it comes down to roles you can be worried. Milera and Smith look like real weapons that Laird didn't exactly have to deal with last year. I'm going Lloyd over Laird.

I have no knock on the Lloyd pick apart from price. He had a career best year last season. Just feel a bit sick spending 600k on a defender.

Didn't see the game, what sort of differences did you notice?

Surely Newman is locked in for you if you expect him to lift the Bloos to 13th on the ladder

Although my ladder prediction says 13th realistically I think we all know we will be finishing 16th this year.

Smith didnt play last year, so his general presence is one and they love it in his hands. Not to mention Milera had 29 touches out of defence at 100% DE. So thats two genuine elite ball users they enjoy using out of the backline. Only takes a couple possession losses a game and his 108 average drops back to 100. No doubt he has to be in your team at some point, but with how stacked Adelaides backline is im happy to wait and see. Likely to be able to grab him at 500k.

Interesting, will have a long think about this one, with the forward rookies looking poor beyond Setterfield/Drew/Balta/Parker might pay to grab another forward premo.

Def now  Whitfield, Williams, Smith Roberton, scrimshaw clark, burgess, hore.
Freed up lots of cash.

Take out Whitfield for Collins and that is my current defense.

Collins 4 intercept marks so far today. Whilst expensive a rookie he plays every week for the Suns and should make decent cash.

Burgess & Collins scoring very poorly, Burgess probably misses the cut. Thinking it's better to grab Duursma/Scrimshaw/Clark/Hore/Wilkie

can wait for round 1 selections to finalise rookies.  js over points scoring capability I think.  slow burn can be frustrating, has the side benefit of saving trades sometimes

DEF is where the value is at... Currently running Williams, Newman, Smith, Roberton, Ridley

Freed up cash. Kelly at F4, plus gawn and Grundy

Too risky??
