2019 Defenders

Roberton update

"Obviously a few more tests to go through, like what happened last year, but hopefully we'll know more in a couple of days," Roberton told reporters on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old feels back to full health.

"I feel fine, so if I get the good news, I'm as fit as ever, so I'll be ready to go," Roberton said.

Despite immediate concerns (the players were addressed after the game to have their fears allayed), the backman himself isn't too worried.

"It wasn't too scary. You never really feel too good after a game anyway, so it wasn't too different, but I just thought obviously with what happened last year, I thought it was best to let the docs know and then take all the precautions," Roberton said.

Interesting, will wait on the final word.

If he is named round 1 I will be picking him. 90 average at less than 300k??? Yes please.

Absolutely understand that. The risk will be if he can play every week.

Yeah it's not a matter of value for money - he's super value and a potential keeper. The issue is, how much footy can he actually play? Looks to be a big risk

Had Moore in, took him out but in light of Roberton’s injury I have brought Moore back in and used the extra cash to upgrade my F3.
Feel for Roberton. Must be scary as **** and potential career ender.
Even if he lines up R1 I’m not having Roberton now that Moore looks as good at a cheaper price.

looks like this may be the best fall back option for roberton.  [/size]

Robbo in if named. Moore if not.

How absolutely necessary is it to start with one of the top line defenders? I’ve seen a few teams around with Whitfield at d1 and after some playing around, having Whitfield at D1 allows me to get Moore at d5.

I have Witherden as D1. I don't think you need one of the top guys at all...

No need for the top guys.
I reckon most of them will drop in price.
Defence has a lot of value this year.

Roberton big time locked. Richo and the docs have already said they've been over cautious with what happened on the weekend.

Any matter of things could cause a player to feel light headed. Yes Robbo is a different case but don't think it's as bad as everyone is making out.

Being rational about it, if we didn't here about the news he would be a lock based on performance.

But we did, and it's pretty damn serious

I want to start him, I really do because he's a bargain, but if he's going to have continual health concerns which lead to missing games then I don't want a bar of it

I've currently got Moore in, but have 60k sitting there just in case ;)

It is serious but with the amount of tests he's being put through you have to take the doctors on their word.

The Doctors gave him the all clear and he lasted 2 matches. This isn't some injury that recovers - the heart could result in anything.  Unfortunately I'm probably sticking firm and passing on him
