Loaded forward line

BC2010 · February 05, 2013, 11:38:57 PM

Have no faith in forward line rookies, so have loaded up on 6 premiums who I think will be in the top 10 by season's end.

Any thoughts???

Brendon Goddard, Bryce Gibbs, Dyson Heppell, Danyle Pearce, Brett Goodes, Sam Docherty
Lewis Stevenson, Dean Terlich

Scott Pendlebury, Jack Redden, Patrick Dangerfield, Marc Murphy, Andrew Embley, Oliver Wines, Jesse Lonergan, Brad Crouch
Jaeger O'Meara, Jack Viney

Tom Bellchambers, Matthew Leuenberger
Sam Rowe, Daniel Currie

Steve Johnson, Tom Rockliff, Jarryd Roughead, Jordan Lewis, Dustin Martin, Matthew de Boer
Brent Staker, Tom Lee

Why not grab Sylvia,Varcoe,Knights or Byrnes in your forward line nice cheap and could average ok and should make you some cash and get one of either Swan or Ablett into your midfield you really need one of them.

i like your thinking. but the fwd line takes too much away from your mids.

i would downgrade dusty or lewis to a rookie or varcoe/byrnes then upgrade to another premium in your mids

oooo someone has finally picked Bellchambers! I do think he will break out and smash it this year but i don't have the balls to go anywhere near him (even with the new trading rules!)
You need a more obvious captain option though so go Pearce to a rookie then Murphy up to swan/gaz/beams/boyd/cotchin

+1. Dangerfield needs to be Ablett, at least.

He's working on it but already is a better contested ball winner

I'd downgrade De Boer to Knights/Varcoe/Byrnes. That would free up $200k right away to upgrade Danger to Swan/GAJ.

Definitely needs one of GAJ or Swan just for an easy captain choice each and every week. ;)
