FWD/BACK DPP

Obese Arachnid · January 31, 2012, 05:03:55 PM

Is anyone really worried about having FWD/BACK coverage in their teams this year?

Sure it's handy if you have the right players but do we have any this year?
To me the only combo that is inviting is Tomlinson & Smedts. Not sure I want to pay that much for Tomlinson & what sought of JS would Smedts have.

I have both ATM & obviously NAB will decide. I don't like any of the ones that cost more than these two.

Is anyone looking at others or just couldn't care as DPP Mid/fwd-back will be enough cover?

I'd like to set up a link that way and have tried to find a decent link for the last three years. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a good quality link because it's usually key position players that are listed as both a forward and a back and they're not great as rookies.

I'd need to see some very good NAB Cup performances before I considered setting up a FWD/BAC link.

Ive only got Tomlinson (GWS) and Smedts (Gee) as fwd/back dpp. Could be handy down the track

Gooner you actually make sense.

There is no decent link. I've never had a great one before.

And this year it makes sense not to try one. Like I said Tomlinson seems to be the key, no other player makes a good link.
That's b4 NAB, a key posi player, c'mon....... Convincing myself here. ;D

Waste of good bench space imo. Rather than have two blokes with iffy JS at either end, why not simply pick two rookies that will actually get games. Thus eliminating the need for the dpp link in the first place! No keepers are fwd/back dpp this year.

this is tough this year,im down to smedts & tomlinson,trouble is gws plays a week early so tomlinson may be locked in & smedts might not even get a game,have to keep eye on the geelong guy in nab cup,luckily tomlinson looks good anyway so worts case scenario would be getting stuck with him,with staker out for season these are the only 2 im looking at,the rest are a load of crocks

With the change in rules this year I will not be looking for a Def/Forward link . Had one last year and did not use at all. Will probably only use the mid link with the best performing rookie who has a forward or def DPP.

In my opinion I don't think it's necessary.

+1
No use having players with dpp if none of them are playing.

calling the 2011 jippett switch right now :P

Isn't it Jackson allen as well? He will get games.

if they score well this weekend then they could be in my team. Otherwise no and also not worried about the DPP especially with the new trade rule

Tom/Semdts is not worth it IMO
