The Defender Premiums.

[Spite]

My team looks decent with newnes at D1 and a big forward and mids so I may roll with that now. Only Shaw and hibberd appeal to me, everyone else feels dodgy

Not even Simpson?

Simpson, Shaw and Lumumba are the defenders that haven't left my side.

[DPC]

So the NAB is over, and I'm still none the wiser on who to start at D3  :'(

Simpson and Shaw are locked at D1&D2 and Lumumba gets D4

As for who gets D3, I feel like I've narrowed it down to the following

Gibson
Johnson
Fisher
Newnes

I've been Fisher's biggest advocate on this site and have had him locked forever, but I've always wanted him at D4, but with Goodes popping up now as a seemingly viable D5 option, and Harry O's new role and form too hard to pass on, for the first time I've had to think about actually letting him go.

I think that all 4 can average 90+ this year. Gibson has the biggest ceiling but has the lowest lows too. Newnes I feel should be comfy for 80-100 most weeks but has a low ceiling, while Johnson and Fisher so often score consistently in the 75-120 range.

Cant decide  :-[

What about James Kelly RD?  I had Gibson in as D3 but have swapped him for Kelly (for the moment  ::)) - good scoring history and more mid time apparently.

The reality is there are probably 15-20 defenders we could raffle off who could turn out to be Top 6. Kelly has just as much a chance as the rest. Should be a nice POD

SC should just create a slot machine style function for the backline this year. Just load up 15 defenders into the machine and let it randomly pick my backline. Would be far less frustrating then having to decide myself! :P

Not too much love got Bob Murphy?? Feel like I'm the only bloke who has him?

[Woppa15]

I can't put a bloke who wears lenseless glasses in my side.....

Was in my side for some time, copped some shower for it but someone at the Bulldogs has to score points :p

[jfitty]

How has everyone gone with their D3 position? It's been the hardest one to choose for me!

With Simpson and Shaw locked, I've had Gibson, Hodge, Kelly, Jaensch and Hibberd all run through there.

I've just freed up some cash to get Malceski in at D1 to relieve my stress! At least he'll definitely be top 6

[Woppa15]

Hibberd was my original choice with Newnes at D4 but I've moved Newnes to M3 and Lumumbababa to M4 with Goodes at M5.

I'll assume all of those M's are meant to be D's :P

Hibberd is shaping up to be a nice POD if all goes well on Tuesday.
