Best Defender Under $392,000

[Windigo]

Andy's stats aren't all that bad.

Averaged just under 80. In the past his hovered around 85-90. Better value than Enright IMO.

During the season he got at least 70, in all but 3 games.

Only 2 tons. But coupled with his past seasons. He provides enormous upside and you can safely lock in 70's with the added knowledge he can get better.

I'd go Waters. Nick Smith would be a good buy and very unique.

Nick Smith would be unique and a bad idea, he is the fwd stopper for the swans. Gets the job on guys like Rioli, Didak, Milne etc. he score really well for the role he plays but until he shifts into the midfield I would leave him alone.

Now Eski is one I am really looking at, looked good last night, and is cheap, and was always the designated kicker, if he plays rnd 1 then I think he should be a lock

[Windigo]

Looked at Smith's stats. Don't think I'd risk him now.  :P

Eski is a great scorer but his knees are as brittle as matchsticks.

If i had to pick between Makie and the Duffman id go Makie probably cos he averaged more  ;) ... I have Hargrave at the moment plenty of time to change my mind tho

3 Prems Grimey and Hargrave

Hmm. Thanks for the info.

Armstrong is around that price too, have you considered him Windigo? I don't know much about him, but there was a lot of talk about him on here a while back.

nick malceski.

So dodgy. Scores well. But really is too much of a risk IMO.

yeah he is a risk, but so are waters and grimes lol, im loving the mid pricers in the backs this season

[elephants]

Mackie - Conca - Duffield - Waters - Lake

In that order IMO. That's taking byes and price into account :)

[The F.A.R.K.]

mmmm

Paul Stewart, Duffield, Conca, Phil Davis, Rook

that is my order

my only def mid pricer is hanley

i will watch stewart for you at nab cup 2moro if he lines up on wing lock in

[Justin Bieber]

Go Mackie, he looks good.

Yeah mate. Was 'locking him in' back in December. Cooled off majorly now!  :P

Mackie is my best safe bet. He ain't a heavy scorer like Waters. But he won't let you down and cross fingers for 85+ a game!

[SydneyRox]

yup armstrong not going to play round 1, hopefully they hold him off until the bye.... :)

Is he injured? Poor preseason? Do you have any more info, SR?

[Memphistopheles]

Duffield for me. I can see Broughton getting more midfield time this season by Lyon which leaves Duffield to play the quarterback role.

Then Grimes if he can stay fit and then Waters. They both have more upside than Mackie IMO but their downside is one which will likely see them miss lots of games (injury-prone).

[Windigo]

Really trying to get the 4th back correct.

I've tried a number of different players in there.  :P
