Ask Ziplock Pre-season NAB1

[Ziplock]

I really want a player who has the rd 11 bye (prem or mid pricer)

Who is the best choice? There is Adcock and Butler as high priced, or I can pick mid pricers like Howard or Hargrave. Who should I pick?

go for the midpricer. Adcock and Butler both have injury proneness, and have never been true premiums. Better punting on a cheapy like hargrave/ lake.

[Ziplock]

Another question while I'm here,

5 prem mids or upgrade a mid pricer and prem in other positions?

go for the upgrade. I seriously don't like the look of a 5 premium mid. Imo even 4 is pushing it as top heavy.

[Ziplock]

I can't see Barlow being a super-premium this year... Give me a bit of stick if I'm wrong but he just hasn't looked that good has he?

his injury soreness has turned me off as well recently. If I'm hearing good reports come round 1, or he plays a NAB cup match, he might slot back in. ATM though... I still think if sore he'll be over a 100 average, but it's a question as to whether he'll play week in and out. If fully fit I can see him going elite.

I'm on like 1127 :D

1787 for me, hopefully my smokies get up.

Zip,
What are the changes that Saad and Wilkes for the aints will play R1??

well, wilkes should be taking over dawsons role, so I rate his chances as pretty high. As for saad... honestly I don't know, I'd put it at 50.50 atm.

But he wont score that well as a tagger though will he???

[Justin Bieber]

Zip I got plenty of mids to choose from.

I need to pick 4 from a list of 6.

Which 4?

Selwood
Swan
Pendlebury
Ablett
Murphy
Boyd

Ablett, for obvious value
Selwood for underpricing
Swan for guness
Boyd for byes structure

This is my make or break. At the moment I have murphy over Selwood, but I can above a 0 when it comes to rd 13 if I have Selwood.

wilkes? if you got him in it would be for JS, he won't be pulling out the 80 average.

I prefer both selwoods price and scoring potential in comparison to murphy. I know others feel differently, but to me it looks like murphwill be topping out soon, if he hasnt already, while selwood is underpriced. 

[Chelskiman]

Saad or Milera?  Both the same price and both play for the same team.  At the moment I have Saad but I've been told by someone else to get Milera instead.  Thoughts?

whoever is named round one :P I doubt either will be prolific scorers in any case.

Tuning up Q number 3

Mumford, Jacobs (Giles , X)

What's your take on Jacobs? do you think that he could average 90+?

(Note: Player X depends on round 1)

[Ziplock]

as the only ruckman, and with his easy draw, I rate him to push 95.

[n00bsauce]

whats your prediction on connors?

[Colliwobblers]

2 premium rucks or 1 premium 1 rook (starters).

I have done the maths and it works out more points will be scored in other lines by playing a rookie ruck than will be lost in the ruck, but i still don't feel comfortable doing it.

Zips thoughts?

[cptFantasy]

I've just stumbled upon this topic and I have to say your thread along with Colliwobblers' has come up with some of the most intelligent fantasy discussion I've ever encountered. I think it's forced me to give my side several complete body reconstructions! So my question has to be have you guys both got massive brains?  :o

[PowerBug]

I really don't think it's worth updating the index again, all yesterday i was at the Clipsal 500, and never came online, and i now see that 6 pages were covered during yesterday ::)

Thoughts Zip?? Do i bother updating the index??
