Is It Too Crazy?

[Windigo]

Seeing as Hargrave has dominated so much in the NAB's so far. I think he is worth a look at this stage. Obviously, not 100% sold in him. But if he slays next week then it makes it really hard not to choose him based on Pre-season form. Of course you can't read that much into it.

Is it to risky to go with X, Hargrave & DuffMan.

Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, X.Ellis, Duffield, Hargrave & Morris.

Without Clifton, but still with Hogan. Shiel/Magnar/Neale at 6. In midfield.

The team wouldn't change that much:

Currently it's:

Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Heppell, X.Ellis, Clarke & Morris.

With Clifton at 6 in mids. Hogan at 5.

Think about it. Duff & Hargrave have both averaged 90's. Ellis hasn't but.  :P

Stick by the x factor. But get rid of the duff man

[JamSainter]

Ellis? Might as well put LeCras in your fowardline! :P

[Windigo]

Ellis? Might as well put LeCras in your fowardline! :P

Haha. Nice call.  :P

The 'big 3' have done okay so far.

Hargrave: 104
Ellis: 48 (In a half)
DuffMan: 50 (Halftime)

hargrave is a lock, almost, cheap enough to be a good pick if he averages 70 then trade at his peak, but he's looking better than that. I was sold on Howard, high pick will be thier playmaker out of defence but might still be a season away, hargrave is IN. as for all the others pass, because i have conca and only going 2 mid priced defenders.

Finally!! I've implemented this idea too

my DEF is currently:
Shaw, Deledio, Birchall, X.Ellis, Duffield, Hargrave, Webberly (Smedts, Darley)

On the x factor train? As well as birchall?

well it's either going to be that above

or
Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Birchall, Hargrave, Clarke, Webberley (Bugg, Darley)
... then upgrade Kerridge to Porplyzia

Seeing like that, I changed my mind from the other thread. That's pretty much my back line cept Ellis instead of webberley lol

[owenbond007]

not crazy i having been toying with the idea while watching the cricket. I got Shaw God Birch Boy Broughton Duffman Hargrave guthrie. Im liking the depth as i really not finding any dt rookie backs that are really tearing it up atm.

...Or just copied my idea. And X!  :P

No Goddard? And 3 mid price defenders? I have
None in my entire team

[Windigo]

Yeah, Essendon.

No God & Birch with Ellis=not good. As well has Webberly on the back of one okay game.  :-\

[Justin Bieber]

Get lids for birch.

[Memphistopheles]

Ellis is way too expensive to be taking a risk on imo.

Especially for someone who has never averaged higher than ~77.

Hargrave has average 90+ in a season and is more than 150K cheaper than Ellis, while Duffield has averaged 87+ twice and is also cheaper than Ellis.

Not hard to guess which player I think is the missing link Windy.

I'd be jumping on Conca before Ellis, not that I have either.
