2019 Forwards

[eaglesman]

Trav Boak is intriguing me. Looked the fittest he has been in a lonnngggg time. Will play mostly midfield and has gone low 90's to low 100's most of his career. If he can average in that 95 range it will see him be a top 10 forward.

I read something somewhere a while ago he would have to get used to playing less mid time.

Where did you get your information ?

Yep, he seems to be swapping with Ebert this year. Ebert will play mainly forward and Boak back to the mids.

Not sure about Josh Dunkley after that game, seemed to be playing more outside with Wallis + Libba getting preference at the coal face.

I am trying to find the article but I can't spot it. It was from the Port intra-club when I was looking at Rocky. They had Boak, Rocky, SPP running mainly through the guts with Ebert up forward. They went with that exact lineup in JLT 1 and they don't expect it to really hurt the rotation once Wines is back.

There's this article from that mentions Ebert's new role forward, but also mentions Boak up forward.

There is one I specifically remember that was related to SPP and Rocky that mentioned Ebert starring up forward and Boak tearing it up as an inside mid

Been having a lot of trouble settling on anyone to fill in F2-3, there's a number of options I like but nobody is screaming pick me. It appears to be down to one of Heeney, Dev or Mundy (having all but officially settled on Billings as either F2 or F3), but as mentioned in the POD thread, I've been giving some serious consideration to one of Papley, Higgins or Fisher. Bit of bias is making me lean towards Higgins, but that's also because I'm most certain of his role and therefore the likelihood of the consistent scores that will justify picking him.

This article helped me lock in my F3, and feeling pretty good about it too:

I think Heeney is almost a must have, but I agree with the others.  What will Mundy's role be this year?  What will losing Neale do to their mids and what affect will that have on Mundy?  I'm not a fan of Devon so he's not on my watch list, but I can understand why he would be on others.

I'm finding myself feeling that outside of danger and Heeney it is all speculation.  Then I feel that if it is speculation, why speculate on the top pricers when there seems to be so many promising mids and rookies this year?

Take a price increase from the cheaper players while we wok out the new roles of some of the Prems.  I think the FWD line this year is the hardest for a number of years.

Very very tempted.

I've been against starting him, just because of the interrupted preseason, but that article suggests he has been training since the operation (might not be with the main group but still training hard none the less) and it says he will play in JLT 2, so if he lines up this week and gets through unscathed then I think he comes back into my side

Throw away the key.

[TableKing]

If Greene scores 75+ or looks somewhat decent i may throw him in.
Personally iv been burnt by the non pre seasoned players.
Hopung he impresses enough

[hawkers65]

This article has done wonders ;) Maybe Greene at F3 doesnt look trash anymore.
