I keep switching between Richardson, Darling and Matera.

Doing my head in. Im sure they will all score 60-80 anyway. Might go Matera just based on his NAB games, 70 likely. Not keen on Richardson, playing Pies, and potenital sub as he isnt a lock in their best 18 players. Darling will reply on goals to score. Tough ask when up against Chaplin.

None of us have won the car yet, so no ones opinion is worth more than the other's. At the end of the day you do what you want to your team, everyone else can only try to help you with their good, and some not so good advice.

My own personal thought's regarding Selwood (I don't have him by the way) is that I would keep him regardless of whether he plays this week or not because I myself am not comfortable in trading one premium for another. However in saying that, Spite has clearly given this a lot of thought and I have no issue with his theory at all.

well said. fenno n spite both have really good arguments. I normally wouldn't trade in the first 2 rounds at least unless there was a LTI. but i can competely understand where u r coming from spite. but like some1 said if selwood is named in the team i think there is zero chance he will be a sub. therefore you will only have 1 week of price decrease and it would mean that you're not getting enough value by trading him out. similarly if he isn't named in the team u could be certain next week that he would be back and atm u have reasonable cover on your mid bench so it wouldn't be that bad to sit him on the bench.

as for the richardson v darling v matera, i would give matera a week to c how he goes. darling showed a lot last week and is only playing port so you can be fairly sure he will see a fair bit of ball up in the fwd line. therefore i would be going with darling.

iv got all 3 of them on my bench :P my worst 3 fwds r knights petrie n kraks :P

Ha..no worries..

Just don't mention it again!!

Spite · March 30, 2011, 11:02:37 PM

Thanks everyone, its good that we can discuss things. I mean, if we didn't we wouldn't learn anything!
If he is named, I will keep him. I will just wait with that and see what happens when teams are announced.

I would be starting rookies in this order (forward only)
Richardson (backline vs Pies, should rack up the possies) > Darling (forward with no le cras, on a smaller aami stadium, and liked the look of him) > Matera/Tapscott > Prestia

Flame · March 30, 2011, 11:04:20 PM

Just follow your gut Spite...Your reasoning is sound..just wait for the teams!!

I have all of those (bar Prestia) and am thinking Tapscott is a lock. 50/50 on Darling or Richardson or Matera. I think Richardson has the highest point scoring potential. Darling key forward a little risky. Matera first game, unsure on role, also risky.

Spite · March 31, 2011, 12:54:44 AM

I just re thought that and I would go Tapscott > Richardson > Matera >Darling > Prestia

Fenno · March 31, 2011, 01:08:34 AM

I have no idea who I am going to put on the field either out of my rookies so im as clueless as the rest of you but have ruled out Richardson because even though the ball should be in the backline if you look at ports highest scoring backman last week against the pies it was chaplin with 67. So even though the ball is back there doesn't mean they will score any good.

Spite · March 31, 2011, 02:04:51 AM

We won't beat roos by 75 :) I'd like to think we would though...
