lol, I'd rather get my info here, as unbiased and group think, not to a select few.
I just think you get your info from where ever you want to get your info from. You make a concious decision on whether you trust and value that source and away you go. All sites/media platforms/podcasters have their pros/cons, I'm sure there's good info still on BF but it's just hard to sift through now days because of the internal banter and noise within the group.

Some of the podcasts are okay and you take little bits from here and there but there's also a lot of rubbish and misinformation. I heard one yesterday saying the bombers had an early round bye and to avoid taking any of their players, I mean that's basic info.

Yes, JD is from FTTV. If you notice their leagues are always near the top leagues in SC.

They have a few good podcasters. Jords, is especially good as well. One video I watched, I think it was with JD, he said Big Footy and SC Scores were a thing of the past... lol and that the discord on FTTV is where you need to get your information. Don't know if it was this one, or another?
I don't think either of them have taken direct shots at SCS, Jords still posts here from time to time. I think a point JD has made is as the number of trades has increased there has been a failure to adapt from "Old School" players. JD in particular makes his decisions in a very methodical and stats-based manner; he's also very value based in his selections, quite a lot like Selby is.

There will be a tug in one direction to go studs and duds with the early bye rounds, and a pull in the other direction to go value-based/MP-heavy given 40 trades. It's the most interesting SC season I can remember ever, a plethora of great choices and many ways to approach the game, few of which are totally wrong or totally right.

Completely agree with this. Have a watch list of rd 0 players and a key couple that will dictate structure heading into rd 1.

Watchlist:
- Grundy: already mentioned on here but is he sharing ruck with Ladhams? If so an easy pass for me. Line in the sand is he has to ruck solo.
- Billings: Has been lost before at that high HF role at the saints. I actually rate him so if he looks good (any score above 65-70) I’ll take him.
- Jordon: basically locked with the injuries but still good to watch role. Especially with Horse as coach lol.
- Williams: Will he be picked? If not makes it easy to trade in post bye for a failing pick (will defs have one with the volume of MP’s I’ve got right now!) law of averages lol
Lohmann: Will he be picked
Flanders: Was never really on the bandwagon tbh. Even if he scores 120, with all of the under 300k selections in play I think it’s likely I go Fyfe F1. Right or wrong after looking at multiple structures, think that value in the fwd line is the play. I’ve decided that I’ll die on the Fyfe F1 hill.
Sexton: Role looks great
Wehr: If picked Wehr will he spend the most of his time?
Daicos: Selfishly hoping for a score under 100 to make my decision to trade after his bye easier.

Haven’t mentioned a couple obvious ones like Coleman or Gulden etc as I see them as premium trade in targets post bye.

Have I missed anyone?
I'd say check Baker's supposed mid role is MIA.
