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.

Oh you are doing an RD  now haha ... making sure ya let everyone know you made this point already ... haha
Only in moderation.  8)

Jack Higgins. His 2 jlt games have been good.

Tigers have done real well with him, you cant for the life of you look at him and expect he plays AFL but he is a gem.

He might have a Forrest Gump level IQ but 100% of it is directed at football haha

Another classic post game ... it’s starting to get a bit nasty interviewing him all the time given the afl community is laughing at him

Can play footy however so good luck to him

Apart from those starting with Greene, are there any other forwards with the R14 bye that people think are a genuine chance of being top 6/8/10/whatever? I'm looking through now and everything is coming up R12 and 13 aha, gonna be a dog when the byes eventually roll around.

no but u dont need every line to be bye friendly like u can just have o rnd 14 fwd premos but have 2 or 3 in defense/mids

and u can have like balta and burgess as rookies

Well you'd assume you would have traded those rookies out by R14 haha

Could be a genuine issue if after the first few months the top fwds are like Danger, Heeney, Kelly, Menegola, Franklin... :p

nah smart move is to hold onto burgess/balta then upgrade after rnd 13 to bye 12/13 guys

Odds are they peak a while before then. Very risky holding onto them for longer. Plus, kinda need to cash in your rookies to upgrade :p

Billings just doesnt go away... Ive tooted his horn for a while but finally felt comfortable with him gone. Putting in a good show again today.

Billings playing well in the JLT? Lock him in.

In all seriousness, read nothing into it.

I just can't do it, he killed me last year. Also some key indicators that are troubling, 53% DE, only 3 contested possessions, 1 tackle. Think he's a wait & see, better to jump on when he strings some games together.

His DE is concerning but the 3 contested isnt, he is playing outside mid so thats expected. Outside mid is better than half forward like last year ;)
