Hey guys just wondering who I should go in my forward line.  Please vote.

If you have a different opinion to the options can you state them here, I'm leaning towards Stevey J.  I have 455k to spend.

Cheers guys.

The ones you have listed are to standard Junk, this is the time when you should be looking left field to get an edge on all..
I will throw 2 at you that have been on my mind all along..
Waite and Varcoe..
Waite had a reasonable season last year coming back from a knee injury, ave 87.. Now with full confidence in his knee and another pre season behind him, I can see Waite being one of the must have forwards by seasons end.. He can be used at both ends of the ground effectively as well and just like Malceski last year (2nd year back from knee surgery), I can see Waite having a big year.. Then you also have the league vs overall debacle.. If you are gong for league, maybe stay away, if overall he is a great pick for that price..
Varcoe is ready to explode, I can see him having a Chapman'esque sort of year, where he averages 20+ posis per game along with a couple of goals.. Every man and their dog are expecting junior rioli to have a blinder of a year, I reckon Varcoe might just do the same.. He has had a limited pre season, but as we saw last week, he is the sort of player that is naturally gifted, doesnt need much match practise.. Varcoe is high on my radar right now, im just trying to make him fit..

Yes, I have been considering Varcoe.  Has been in my team a few times, though I think with unique players like him they need to have at least have had a good pre season to ensure that it is the right call.

Waite is a gun but I still think Stevey might do better.

Something about col is saying no to me. More of a dt i think

Stevie J - too injury prone, cant afford injuries with the byes this year, people are underestimating how important this wil be this year.
ROK - has past his best, is undervalued a little but not a lot.
J Roo - injured atm but will top last season, questionable fitnes first 3-5 rounds imo, maybe in second 2/3rds of season
Sylvia - no, injury prone
McGylnn - actually not a bad option but needs to improve consistency, too many 40s and 50s, has good potential, is a little risky.

I assume you already have most of Roo, Buddy, Harvs, Pav and Rioli?  The boring team looks the most efficient this year. 

How deep will you invest in rookies this year?   4/0/3?

Stevie J... Has looked good in the pre-season & will play further up the ground this year.

Stevie J looks a must for DT but huge risk in SC with his efficiency a worry. perhaps better options at that price would be Goodes after a huge pre season and hiss MPP status or Rioli who most people think will spend alot of time in the guts this year, for SC

Usman

Goodes WILL NOT avg less than last year but there should be higher scoring forwards all the same
