What do you think Felton will avg?
What is the meaning of life?
Do you consider beer at the footy to be overpriced?
Pie or sausage roll?

Hey Torp, which one looks better?

1. Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Grimes, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)

2. Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Myers, Armstrong, rookie (rookie, rookie)

Personally like Myers and Armstrong at cheap prices this year.

Downgrade Duffman>Heppell in Option 1. Use extra cash elsewhere. Premos & Rookies is always a safer and more solid option. I don't see Myers averaging that much and his price is very awkward. Armstrong may have a better chance but his very risky. Option 1 is what I prefer.

Is Beams (Dayne) worth his price tag?

The Beamer is worth his price tag and I'm tempted to grab him since everyone is staying away.

Hey Torps, what do you think about Travis Cloke?

He is a massive unit. Only just turned 26. We know he is the best contested mark in the competition. Has a massive engine. Averaged 90 in '10 and 97 in '11. After an average year in '12 do you reckon he will bounce back? Priced ridiculously low at $436k!

Torp, what are your thoughts on Heath Shaw? Had him locked in the back line since 2013 opened. Also got Goddard, Heppel, duffield and Gibbs in the midfield for dpp.

Thanks Mick

Yeah he is priced really low but even in 2011 when he averaged 97 he had 4 scores where he went under 60. His some of the guys like Watts, Martin, De Boer, Wright, Dahlhaus. Even Hawkins is worth it if you can find the extra 60k. Then there's Varcoe, Karnezis, Gray who are all midpricers who could average 70-80. I just don't think Cloke is worth it this season.

I've never liked Heath Shaw and always seems to have some off matches but he has a really good average and can't really argue with that. I would downgrade him to a rookie just because of the other defenders you have already. What does the rest of your team look like?

What's your opinion on Cloke as a POD? No stress on his shoulders ( Dawes ) and seems to look a bit more confident kicking...

Too risky mate, you'd be better going for a little more expensive in Martin or Wright or cheaper in Varcoe or Karnezis.

B: Goddard, shaw, hepp, duffield,Vlaastuin, goodes, Pittard, docherty
M: swan, jpk, danger, Gibbs, Mundy, koby, Jaeger, viney, crouch,Kommer
R: roughy, Berger, Rowe, currie
F: buddy, Cox, rockliff, varcoe,Karnezis,Byrnes, lee, macaffer

Still iffy on fwd line and ruck. Really looking for Heath to be a top defender this year, but he can be up and down like u say. Not sure I can afford to make him a rookie tho, really need another prem defender. Maybe Gibs down back and lose dpp or bring goodes up? Then another mid?
