Connors won't average 90+ or 80+ for that matter Zip. Even if he is in your Euro's team ;)

Jukes

Lads, Rocky and Treloar (injury?!?!?!) or Selwood and Smith?

Treloar/Smith will be fringe first team FORWARDS for me fighting with other rookies.

Ziplock

Selwood and Smith. Smith has been talked up in every bloody place by GWS, and selwoods scoring potential is more of a known quantity than rockys.

Zip what do you think about Dan Nicholson this year? I rate him and could really breakout. Thoughts?

well he averaged nearly 60 taking out sub affected matches. And put up some relatively impressive numbers as one (28 points in a quarter, 40/50 points in a half), so like he's under priced and has potential. He *should* be upgraded as well.

at the same time, he hasn't really shown that much scoring potential a 90 against freo, but apart from that not many scores over 60. Quite consistent though.

I can't see him being a worthwhile pick however... I just don't see it happening this season.

Mr.Craig

Who do you think will be upgraded on to the Bombers list? They appear to have a few good options.

elephants

Thoughts on how many GWS rookies we should ideally have come round 1?

Currently have 6 in my team now (Darley, Bugg, Shiel, Giles, Cameron, D. Smith)

Only just traded...

McDonald OUT Hogan IN
Hampton OUT Cameron IN
Walsh OUT D. Smith IN

I think this is okay...? Thoughts?

Cheers zip. Matthew Bate?
I'll do this one. Kepe an eye on his positions during pre-season, see where and how long he plays for. atm he's in my side as the only fwd mid-pricer, and pretty he'll stay there barring injury.

how many spots do they have again? 3? or two? I know gumbleton and prismall are on the LTI list, and fletcher is a vet....

honestly, I'm not sure. Dell'Olio I think is in for a shot, since essendons forwards aren't crash hot, but they may save the others until someone shines in vfl.

pretty much, he's a high draft pick who has shown he can average solid before (80 odd), coming underpriced, with a decent pre-season, and at 25 should be primed as a break out.

wait until we find out mcdonalds TOG before you drop him imo. Apart from that, seems a LITTLE trigger happy, but solid enough. TBH you can have as many as you want, by GWS' bye you should have traded out most of your rooks anyway.

Jukes

I've just done a few trades Zip want your opinion on which side is better;

a) Jacobs, Neale/Couch, forward rookie

b) McIntosh, Coniglio, Byrnes.

Ziplock

I'm going a) it looks pretty clear to me.
