JJ too inconsistant for R2, F5?

[Jay]

Hi Jayman

Is it ok to have Cox, Ryder and Roughead in my fwd line?

RUCKS:
Z.Smith, Luey (Currie, Rowe)

FWD:
Cox, Ryder, Roughie, JJK, Karnezis, Macaffer (Daniher, Lee)

Now that Luey is in doubt, what other ruckmen would you consider?

If you want to go with 2 mid pricers as rucks then consider Josh Jenkins. Will increase his average as he takes the KT role - he also has DPP which would be handy to work with Cox, Ryder and Roughy.

Bellchambers is a bargain basement premium too if you get the cash

Maybe even a 3-rook ruck strategy? If you do this then make sure you select a gun e.g. Maric as your premium.

Looks good mate, love the fwds :)

stefan martin??

Nah mate just can not see him averaging enough at the Lions to warrant a good pick in SC. Smith and Jenkins are good cheap ruck options and obviously a fit Leuey.

Think there are better options mate :)

[/quoteI see him as a great pick in either of those positions. Have him at F4 right now!

Is Cam Pederson a good option for R2 with Berger out??

Nah mate I am not a fan. Would rather start Currie for much cheaper or go up to a mid-pricer e.g. Zac Smith. I have been a fan of Bellchambers at 460k as well :)

I'm thinking of trading Leuenberger for Jenkins but am about $63k short.  My ruck and forward lines are:

Ruck: Smith, Leuenberger (Rowe, Currie)
Forward: Cox, Rockliff, Martin, Wright, LeCras, Karnezis (Macaffer, Lee)

Based on your previous suggestion I'm thinking of trading Wright anyway but hadn't decided on who.  One option is to do a straight downgrade of Wright to a $400k forward but I'm not sure if there is anyone around that price worth looking at.  The second option is to trade out Wright & Le Cras for Jenkins, Franklin and a Rookie or I could trade Wright & Karnezis for Jenkins,  $500-$550k Forward & a rookie.  Would love some advice on which way I should go.

I do not think there are many 400k fwds worth it - would probably take the punt on Jenkins at 360k

I would not trade Karnezis mate, he is set for a big year and will be perfect for F5/6.

I would look at trading LeCras to Neade and then spending the rest of your cash on rucks. Like the sound of that?

Awesome, thanks Jayman!  ;D

[gunnerzzz]

Hey J, what do you reckon about Robert Warnock as a staight swap if Berger doesn't get up in time for rd 1?

This is a pretty sad looking list.

Macaffer is not a rookie. (Technically)
Lee is 3rd or 4th in line at St Kilda.
Daniher won't play evry game.
Neade is scrawny and JS is ???.
Paparone - ask Ringo, but will he get many games at all?

This is why Varcoe, Byrnes, JJK, LeCras and The 'Cornezis' boys are getting talked up so much.

Load up on mid and def rookies boys.

[FactHunt]

Karnezis has had a great NAB series and pre-season... but Brisbane seem to have plenty of depth-
My question is will he find a regular enough place to risk him @ F5/F6??

Rohan Bewick, Stefan Martin, Todd Banfield
Ashley McGrath, Jonathan Brown, Tom Rockliff,
Aaron Cornelius, Green, Paparone, Mayes,
Zorko rolling forward too
