R&B's Forward Troubles - Which to start?

[tor01doc]

Who's in your ruck?

Just asking because Roughy could swing there if you are weak. (I assume you've got that covered though.)

Don't we all wish we had your problem.

Goodes or Martin.

Sidebottom

Maric, Jacobs (Campbell, Big O)

Not great cover, if worse comes to worst and I need to cover one of those guys for a one weeker I can downgrade Big O to Pattison/Staley etc and swing Roughy there. Considered doing it last week and then Broughton -> Shaw but that would leave me with only 1 trade so decided just to swap Broughts for Yarran.


Sidey being rested makes it a lot easier like naste said! Saved me a fair bit of stress, so even though I would rather him out there, cheers Bucks!

[roo boys!]

Alright, Rd19 rolls around and I find myself in another predicament... Sidebottom made it easy last week but certainly good to have him back! Original post and poll have been updated, here's my thoughts for this week.

Pavlich vs Eagles - Pav in the Derby this week, with the form he's in it's hard to bench him. Should be safe.
Chapman vs Hawthorn - Got a ton last week but playing in a tough game and personally I'm hoping Cats get smashed (Helps North)
Sidebottom vs Saints - Had his week's rest, comes straight in.
Dangerfield vs Essendon - In great form, he's safe.
Goodes vs Carlton - Three 70's in a row just isn't good enough, and with Sam Reid out he'll play even more as a KPP forward..will this help his scoring or not? He's my pick for the bench this week.
Roughead vs Geelong - Roughy in good form, hard to bench him.
Martin vs Lions - Sidebottom being out is the only thing that saved him last week, and I'm glad he survived! Should be good for 90+ against the Lions, surely?
Zorko vs Richmond - Had a very quiet first half but still managed a very nice score. Hasn't put a foot wrong yet!

As you can see it's very hard. My pick for this week is Goodes, thoughts?

Has not been delivering the Goodes lately

Has not been delivering the Goodes lately

Well he did this week!

Yet another mistake, whoever I bench seems to do well. Dusty most likely to be benched this week, but it's still early days so who knows?

[roo boys!]

Last week I got a donut with both Chappy and Roughy out. But this week both SHOULD return, so I need to make a tough call again...

Pretty much between Goodes, Martin, Zorko and Chapman, rumours that Chappy may be out and if he is I will probably trade him to either Stevie J or Tex Walker and start them.

Thoughts?

[roo boys!]

Pavlich vs Richmond - Pav in good form, was decent last week and should kick a few at home.
Chapman vs Saints - Struggling to recover from his calf injury. Can he still score well if he's hampered?
Sidebottom vs North - Despite playing the mighty Roos he's safe.
Dangerfield vs Brisbane - Only scored 187 last week, Danger's in shocking form.
Goodes vs Bulldogs - Has been poor lately apart from the one week I benched him ::), Sam Reid back should help him. Is this the week to go bang?
Roughead vs Gold Coast - Had his week off, should be raring to go against the Suns.
Martin vs Freo - Played well last week, but vs Freo at Patersons... :-\ Still hard to bench him after a 125.
Zorko vs Adelaide - Wasn't great last week but been good for quite a while. Don't want to be too quick to write him off, could bounce back at home!

Worth adding in my main league I'm going to have a very close match, opponent has both Zorko and Chappy, Goodes and Martin are PODs, don't want to bench Chappy and he pulls out a big score. Originally had Zorko, but may as well cancel out opponent with Zorks and Chappy, which means it's between Goodes and Martin :-\

[roo boys!]

Another tough decision this week...not having Beams is killing me but on the plus side my main league opponent doesn't have him...

Pavlich vs North - Had a variety of injuries, and despite Lyon saying he should play I'm very doubtful. Will try and trade to Beams if not named but will need a double trade. If he's named it's hard to bench him, right?
Chapman vs Bulldogs - Struggling a bit and seems to be getting minimal, if any, midfield time. Should tear up the Dogs at SS though..would be lying if I said he hadn't come into my trade plans.
Sidebottom vs West Coast - In decent form and could be instrumental in Collingwood getting up.
Dangerfield vs Melbourne - Danger is in amazing form lately, he's safe.
Goodes vs Hawthorn - Tore up the Dogs last week which was a sight for sore eyes! Hard to bench him after that, no matter how good his opposition.
Roughead vs Sydney - Saved me from the brink of defeat last week, I love you Roughy, I do....
Martin vs Essendon - Featuring heavily in my trading plans this week, and if he survives could be looking at the bench.
Zorko vs Port - Was good last week, was wrong to put him on the bench and he should do well against the Power.

Id bench Martin vs Essendon ;)

[tor01doc]

Tell me who you're benching this week so I can play him!  :P

[roo boys!]

Tell me who you're benching this week so I can play him!  :P

Seems to be the pattern doesn't it!

Rd 17 - Sidebottom - 109
Rd 18 - No-one
Rd 19 - Goodes - 116
Rd 20 - No-one
Rd 21 - Zorko - 93

Hmm :P

Thanks Koop. Like I said considering all sorts of different trades/situations etc...my mind is turning into SC mush!

[tor01doc]

I think Richmond will do well so Martin should be OK - Lids, Cotchin and Tuck will probably take the tags before Dustbin.

Zorko?

[roo boys!]

Hesitant after he did well last week and they should beat Port pretty comfortably...

[ubeaut]

Zorko?

Lids and Cotchin have taken the tags all year and Martin has failed to score well most of those times. Martin for me. Then Pav then Roughy or Chappy. I'd def play Danger,Sidey,Zorko and Goodes. Pav should play and I'm worried about him under an injury cloud vs inform Roos at Etihad.
