The Who to start Thread...

[roo boys!]

Who to bench out of Duffman (pies), Chaplin (hawks) and Frawley (suns)?

Tough one lol.

Don't know how I ended up with these three.... Leaning towards Duffman but Chaplin has been stinking it up..

I would start Duff, has highest risk and reward as well, assuming he plays the position I expect him to play.

i've been  wrong before though LOL

Yep, Duffman has to get it. He used to be one of the best premiums! Other two have been pretty good, but not really capable of bigs scores I don't think. Duff is.

Haven't we all! If he plays in the guts he should get 90 plus, plays a lockdown role on a small forward and he is good for 45.... If you were to play Duff, who do you bench??

Yeah I was thinking Howe, last weeks form is worrying though.. Surely Bock will go to Jurrah, hopefully Tutt doesn't score anything like last week!

Imagine Bock would go to Jurrah too. Surely he cannot stink it up two weeks in a row! He should be nice and fresh only jogging around for a half last week!

Need some convincing; Need 1 of the following to be left out this week,

S Burgoyne > Silky skills, proven performer in the past, been playing a variety of roles this year, started forward, rotated through the middle and as of late he has been playing out of defence.. This week he is up against the Dogs who he averages 103 against.. You would think now at the business end of the season the hawks will want to give him some run through the middle to gain some much needed confidence, I see him as being the X factor for the hawks in the finals, he fires and the sky is the limit for the hawks.. He has a 3 rnd average of 78 and a 5 rnd average of 76 which is poor for a former super premium.. In his case would you go with the proven perfomer, weak opposition, have to gain some much need confidence strategy??

T Mzungu > First season in the AFL, mature age who has adapted to AFL level with ease, wins alot of disputed ball and always is positioned at the right places, knows where to go.. Gets alot of the ball, averaging almost 20 touches a game.. Now with Fremantles depleted team I think he will get more time in the middle of the ground which will result in him getting more of the ball which means more SC points.. He has a 3 rnd average of 102 and a 5 rnd average of 96 which is outstanding for a player who has played 12 games of AFL.. The only real downside this week is that he is up against the reigning premiers and if they do win comfortably you would imagine the pie players will get lots of the pie that is available to both teams (3200 SC points)..

N Riewoldt > Has had an ordinary season for what is expected of him, currently nursing an injury that will be with him for the remainder of his career, proven performer in the past, has a low of 85 and a high of 171 against Nth Melb, averages 119.. Has 3 rnd average of 79 and a 5 rnd average of 83.. Important game for the saints this week and you would think that he will give his absolute best to try to get them over the line, even at 80% Roo could hit the ton IMO..

Now if I bench Mzungu or Riewoldt I will have a POD (Burgoyne) against my opponent who at the moment is projected to score higher than me..
If I bench Burgoyne we will have the same players and I wouldnt have that (possible) edge that I need to get over the line against him..
What would you guys do in my situation? Play the POD and bench one of the players he has got or go safe and rely on other players getting me extra points to get me over the line.. HELP!!!

Def:
Fisher, goddard, enright, deledio, duffield, hurn, tailia (broughton)

Other def subs wont be playing..

Leaning towards tailia vs richmond due to broughtons fitness..

What do u guys reckon?

[Samm79]

Burgoyne>Nroo>Mzunga

[Turbo]

I'm tossing up between Duffield and Broughton, but going with Broughton.

[FonFatty]

Burgoyne>Nroo>Mzunga

\
You would bench them in that order or play them in that order?

[Samm79]

Play them in that order.

[FonFatty]

Play them in that order.

Thanks for your opinion, I am also leaning that way, just wanted an opinion from others..

[charliesheen]

Burgoyne>Nroo>Mzunga

Mzungu>NROO>Burgoyne for me

[North Melbournes Finest]

Now I see why Didak gets nothing despite his abundance of touches, they're all uncontested garbage. He gets the ball served up to him on a platter so he doesn't get any points for getting the ball himself.

Changed Mzungu to bench and Jroo back on last second. so far looks like a genius move. will wait and see
