Rockliff vs Libba

[Daniel123]

This has been for me one of the hardest picks all year. I feel both could go BANG!
My concerns are as follow: rockliff should average about 5-10 point more per game and for only a fraction of the price but my big question is will he get tagged??? Libba is safely not going to be tagged behind griffen at least, and could reward big time! I just cant decide what do you guys think?

Rich and Hanley will get tagged before Rockliff does they are much more damaging with the ball

Yep, this. Rockliff will be 3rd in line for the tag, sometimes 4th if teams want to put a tag on Zorko as well which happened a bit last year I think.

Bloody good question, think I'd go Rocky but just. Like both but have Cotchin instead as I think he will really go bang this year and shock plenty.  Cheers.    ;)

Starting to lean towards Libba should do just as well plus save some $$$

Apart from GAJ, Pendles and Beams picking the right combination of lower premo midfielders will be critical going into the start of the year.

From the two highlighted here i would go Rocky over Libba- reckon clubs will pay more attention to Libba this year- if they shut him down the Dogs will lose out in contested ball and clearances. Rocky still the third in line to be tagged behind Rich and Hanley.

Does today's game by Rocky influence anyone's answer to this question!

Thats my big problem i feel rocky will recieve just as much attention as Libba and i think Libba is not going to recieve the hard tag! Behind griffen at least

17 touches and 76 DT mate, and played predominately forward which leaves me questioning my choice.. Libba is now in my team

Hmmm.

Was scared that Rocky would go back to playing forward ala crazy Vossy style.  ::)

Think I'm gonna go to a 4 premo midfield (Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Beams) which is set and forget and spend the rest of my cash on my backline.  8)

you guys reading into pre season games to much it's funny

Nah its not due to that at all.

I'm just trying to get a better overall balance in my team so have switched back to a 4 premo midfield and when I did that I thought that I may as well go for the best of the best starting 4 in Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Beams.

The cash saved from having a 5 premo midfield has enabled me to upgrade my backs to McVeigh, Mitchell, Hanley, Simpson, Suckling, McDonald.  8)

Have em @ 2/3 at the moment.
had Cotchin @3 but decided I'll grab him after the byes.

If you are worried about Libba or Rocky getting tagged, and its a legit concern as we don't know how well they handle it, then just pick Jobe and avoid these two for now
