Heppell or Hartlett?

[powersuperkents]

Currently have Hartlett locked in.

My backline:
Goddard, Stanley, Gibbs, Birchall, Hartlett, Pittard, Docherty, Terlich

could change it to:
Goddard, Stanley, Gibbs, Birchall, Heppell, Pittard, Docherty, Terlich

or:
Goddard, Grimes, Stanley, Gibbs, Hartlett, Pittard, Docherty, Terlich

Really tough one mate. Would say that Heppell is probably 'safer' than Hartlett, given he is young and already averaging 85, while Hartlett is very injury prone but could go BANG this year.

Grimes is also another safe bet to be top 4 defenders this year, but also has injury risk with him.

Safe: Heppell
BANG: Hartlett
Top 4: Grimes

Yeah it is a difficult decision. I wish I could just upgrade Hartlett to Grimes and then I could keep Birchall. I'm worried if I don't pick up Hartlett he could go on and average a 95-98 season

Heppell over Hartlett definitely. Will average more at about 96 while I can't see Hartlett passing 93 let alone 90. Dys has only missed 2 games from 44 since being drafted, compared to HH missing 42 from 88 :O

Would prefer Hartlett and Heppell to Birchall, though.

Interestingly enough I actually have Paul Duffield ($426,800) in my team ahead of Hartlett atm :o Just think there might be a bit of chopping and changing in the port team this year as the team develops and the coach tries to establish roles in the team :-X

Probably favour Heppell but i think five prem backs is to many mate tbh. One of your lines must be fairly light on.

[Toga]

:o didn't realise you had 5 premium backs!

Defence rookies are actually quite good this year with Goodes, Terlich, Docherty, Vlastuin, Pittard, Stevenson and co. so i'd whack one of them in there (maybe ahead of birchall) and then you can upgrade elsewhere?

Heppel for me

I only have 4 premo mids

Swan, Pendles, Redden & Murphy

if I was to downgrade one of the premos, which one should it be?

Do you have any midpricers in your mids. ?
Id be looking at downgrading Birch or Hartlett.

Got both behind Gibbs and Hartlett but if one was to go it would be Heppell. Something about me says if your going to have Hartlett have him from the start. While he's fit he'll score well. He'll go bang then everyone will jump on and he'll get injured. Atleast if you start him you might hopefully get a few really good scores to get the jump on opponents.

Basically all im saying is I'd be very nervous trading him in.

I have Hartlett in at the moment, just think he's classier than the other two but i agree, very fraguile. That could also be a bias call  btw :)

Nope, everything but the bias call bit is spot on, but in DT we can afford to risk these players

I looked at having only 4 prems but i gotta say mate looks pretty weak. Personal choice though but i didnt like it.
