PAPz13: my mid gaj,cotchin,murphy,daisy,moloney,rookies
PAPz13: oh and rich
bert1: faaar to mant mid pricers in that midfeild
Call96: what are peoples thoughts on goddard and barlow??? start or upgrade??
lock98: Midfield has by far the most reliable rooks, don't understand why everyone is picking midpricers
PAPz13: whats yours then
samdiatmh: not convinced on goddard, starting with Barlow
lock98: Ablett, jobe, cotchin and beams. Rest are rookies
bert1: gaz cotch watson beams murphy x 5 rookies
PAPz13: what rookies
lock98: Ellis, polec, michie etc. The ones everyone should have lol
samdiatmh: karmichael hunt to go bang this year, lock the guy in
DirkDigler: lift martin. give me a reason to keep you
PAPz13: keepmhim look him in mate
Call96: who are people using as on field fwd rooks
rickybrad: who are these "reliable midfield rooks" your talking about?
samdiatmh: JKH, with Thurlow and Kersten on the bench
m0nty: the FF blog has a list of these players
rickybrad: 400k ellis is hardly a rook
bert1: wrong ellis lol
DirkDigler: xavier ellis lol
DirkDigler: not brandon
rickybrad: I'd be suprised if j martin doesnt lose money. just doesnt have the body at this stage
DirkDigler: jmartin will make you money even if he averages 50
rickybrad: lol ok. fair enough then
blues 12: Anyone considering jack redden this year?
flowerchaiyya: anthony miles richmond 246k worth a look?
rickybrad: anyone know j martin's b/e?
samdiatmh: not for me chaiyya, looks the goods, but also a vest candidate
flowerchaiyya: yeh fair call sammy
RooBoyStu: there's a cheap defender playing today Jackson Allen, worth a look for bench if he is selected Round 1.
PAPz13: leuenburger or mcavoy
DirkDigler: neither
samdiatmh: rooboy, the same guy that's listed as a mid on the profile?
RooBoyStu: the midfielder listing is wrong, in SC he's a defender, got him in.
Ferog: Take no notice of positions in profile. MOST are wrong.
PAPz13: dirkdigler what is ur ruck
lock98: 190K for a rook defender is too much. McDonald and maybe KK are the only ones worth that much
RooBoyStu: yeah got McDonald starting on the ground, he's a no brainer.
PAPz13: get kk out he will not play
DirkDigler: undecided atm but i have maric sandi currently
breakonthr: Jeremy Taylor may be a look in
Spanner221: how's lonergan looking?
RooBoyStu: One player I want us to promote from the rookie list is Joel Tippett he is mega cheap and a must for the bench.
bert1: ivan has a injury ankle i think
DirkDigler: classic roo supporter comment
Heizenberg: Whos kk?
Punt: Are the Roos even going to pretend to be pretenders this year?
DirkDigler: kade Kolodjashnij
RooBoyStu: anybody going to run the risk and pick Clinton Young?
rickybrad: kade kolodashanij. gun kid from tas. whats injury atm?
Punt: Not sure this is ideal preparation for the Lions
Heizenberg: Thanks dirkdigler
Punt: Not a chance
Ferog: @DirkDigler, Why isnt KK playing?
Punt: Ben Griffiths should now be on radars.
RooBoyStu: @Punt think S.Morris is the value pick from you guys as he will be more offensive this year.
wadaramus: Is McDonough a chance?
Heizenberg: Anyone else getting tempted by rockliff?
Punt: I disagree. Morris is not fantasy relevant. Lockdown every week
Dangeroo: Lockliff you mean?
Punt: McDonough is a big chance. No Lennon for 6-8 too. I have Madonna
Gooseman10: Rockliff is a lock for me for sure
Ferog: @Heizenberg, Yes have been from last year.
RooBoyStu: @Punt there was an article recently saying he will be playing a different role this season
bert1: lol at lockliff hes a gun but he was always going to do well v suns mids with no gazz and presso
Heizenberg: Lol dangeroo not bad okay ferog with no black though he will get no 1 tag every week i reckon
Heizenberg: Or most weeks
Dangeroo: calvin's saying
Heizenberg: Oh okay
Punt: Not another option when opponents have a decent small fwd. JS, but no way from me
cougar37: What are peoples thoughts on Ruck 3 and 4? Currie/Thurlow for mine, but not convinced.
jvalles69: Tempted by Rockliff? He's more of a dead cert than Gaz and Swan cos of his price!
krapalot64: my only brisbane player is rock.locked
Ferog: The only player from Richmond in my team atm is Cotchin.
RooBoyStu: Krusty the Clown 3rd Ruck aka Ben Brown
Heizenberg: Hes no certainty theres no guarantee he wont play forward still we dont know how leppitsch will play him in therealthin
happytimes: I'm on the rocky train
krapalot64: playing rock mid/fwd cost voss his job..once he played in the center he avg over 100...
DirkDigler: thoughts on beams?
happytimes: Even if he gets tagged, he will still get his points in tackles
Heizenberg: Thats true happytimes good point
RooBoyStu: don't load up on Collingwood mids if you have Gary Ablett as Round 8 byes will kill you.
Heizenberg: Beams is a lock and a half
Punt: Thought murphy would be a lock, but I'm starting to waver
Heizenberg: @dirkdigler unless you meant clay beams which is a bit risky
krapalot64: delidio or cotchin which should i go for.and dont say both..thoughts?
Heizenberg: @punt which murphy?
happytimes: D beams yes c beams stay away
DirkDigler: clay beams
cougar37: I've gone both. My team has gone high beams.
happytimes: How about neither krapalot but if I had to choose it would be cotchin
krapalot64: thx!!
happytimes: Any rookies a chance from this game to line up round 1?
happytimes: Apart from Martin
krapalot64: j bourke so far..
Jackwatt$: Jack Martin is the biggest talked-up flop since......er...well since Jack Watts I guess
althegreat: jack spud
happytimes: Lemmens maybe
m0nty: Beams, Aish, Lemmens, Martin all in the mix for R1
happytimes: Who watts or Martin?
happytimes: No cutler Monty
breakonthr: they have given martin a run with role on moloney (most experinced midfielder) to learn.wont happen come R1
althegreat: Rookie Watts and Rookie martin spuddin it up
Gigantor: Yeah picture Martin with Gaj Prestia Omeara and Swallow in the team
happytimes: Some people have said that Martin is going to be better than jäger
cusch1: any rookie defenders to get in SC? Got kk LMacdonald and M Fuller atm but dont like fuller ...replacements?
althegreat: Is Rockliff going that good or copping no attention from GCS
Jackwatt$: Langford
RooBoyStu: thought Steven May would struggle, he's 10 weeks too early.
Jackwatt$: Rocky ticks all the boxes, but has an awful draw to start with
Gooseman10: happytimes. No
blues 12: Bit of talk Brodie Martin from the crows may get a gig in the side come round 1
althegreat: @Cusch1- Tip, maybe get 6 certainties to play rd 1 in backine and sacrifice a premium D. Plenty of Mid rookies can score
jfitty: Would Ablett-Watson-Rockliff-D.Beams-D.Thomas be a good midfield? Or need more Pendles? Liking Rocky today
krapalot64: rockliff is that good he could be sitting in the 3rd tier of the MCG and still bag points...
Jackwatt$: Why is Lemmings so expensive in DT and not SC...Surely m0nty hasn't got the price wrong?
cusch1: @Althegreat just a pre season side..looking at changing it when the r1 teams are released
bert1: pendles has rd8 bye gazz beams etc all out that week
Hadouken: will fuller get many games for doggies you guys think ?
Sloan4Pres: Everyone will jump on Rockliff now :( sigh
bert1: pretty sure fuller is yet to play so prob wont be ready for rd1 could be wrong
althegreat: I might take Boyd Looks back to full fitness and has more around the midfield to help now
RooBoyStu: Jackson Allen looks good to me.
samdiatmh: not a fan of this defensive role Hanley's playing
Spanner221: Watts, its because AF prices are inflated, the quoted price is AF not rdt
samdiatmh: speaking of watts, he could be a pretty decent selection
billnats: Lemmens hald the price of Martin...
happytimes: Is lemmen a back or a mid
windigo24: The Red-Rock combo a few years ago could be back in 2014.
samdiatmh: you can't read too much into a performance against a sub-standard GC side though
althegreat: Forget red-rock combo. One always is tagged out in half or more of Brisbanes games
althegreat: red-rock is the past Mitch-Field is the future!!
GoLions: @althegreat, yes, because teams are going to tag redden/rockliff before rich and hanley...
RooBoyStu: Blues fans, is there any news with Docherty, is he right to go Round 1?
samdiatmh: Docherty isn't playing tomorrow, so maybe not such a good bet for rd1 selection
samdiatmh: but they have picked Bootsma, so who knows what Mick is planning down there
happytimes: Bootsma reminds me of a young zac Dawson
samdiatmh: actually... listed with a quad injury on the AFL site (out or 3-4 weeks) so no rd1 debut
althegreat: What GoLions?? you think either they will never cop a tag during the year. Yes, ok
RooBoyStu: cheers samdiatmh heard he had a setback in the pre season.
DirkDigler: will hamish macintosh get games
RooBoyStu: should now DirkDigler with Vardy going down.
sheedz85: @dirk, sure will get games mate especially with vardy done for the year. risky still IMO and will be managed
Sloan4Pres: anyone going with Dixon
GoLions: @althegreat: rocklif and redden aren't as damaging with the ball in comparison to rich and hanley
sheedz85: @Sloan4Pres, considered him as backup using the DPP link with Thurlow in the ruck. Not sold on scoring ability
GoLions: there's a good chance rocky may cop the tag a bit, but would be very surprised if he got it more than 5 times
althegreat: @GoLions, im just saying I dont think it would be a great idea to put both in as I THINK one or the other will get a tag
althegreat: put both in if you like. Your decision.
GoLions: lol i wasnt saying to put both in, just that they wont get the first or second tag
Sloan4Pres: @sheedz85 same, just wish he was pushing around averaging 80pts in the nab
samdiatmh: I've got Thurlow on the ruck bench in case of Sandi, not considering Dixon tbh (his NAB1 told me everything)
samdiatmh: forward bench, not ruck bench*
sheedz85: got currie and derrickx on my ruck bench atm, thurlow the only other i'm considering
Sloan4Pres: Having massive headaches with fwd 5, considering Elliott.
sheedz85: my boy Hanley cracks the ton! he'll be another great backline choice this year
samdiatmh: F5 depends on your team setup, you can either go with a 400k player, or you rook it up (or Caddy)
sheedz85: I've got either Hogan or Rohan siting there at F5 @Sloan4Pres, spent my money in the backs and mids this year
RooBoyStu: Hanley needs the bin
