Libba vs. Wines in terms of most likely to be at least M8.
I think Wines is in the 105 - 112 range, while Libba is somewhere from 100-110 with probably more downside risk.
I think Wines will score you more, but Libba is better value.

Gee that's quite a tough one! I think both Greene and Smith are not really worth selecting because I think neither will make the top 6-10 in their respective positions. Out of the two though, I think Greene has a better chance of hitting a reasonable average. At worst he could be traded out around the Byes.

Crows have a tough draw to start so I think Smith will 'trap' his owners again. (Reference Beg2Differ's 'Maddinson Trap' comment from the BBL fantasy competition). Much like Maddinson, Smith will have one fantastic score to show his potential followed by a run of garbage scores to show why he's priced at what he is. Smith will most likely put in one great NAB score to suck everyone in again (I hope he does!).

Out of Montagna and Boyd, Boyd is the better pick due to his position. If he can average 100+ in the defence, that's much more valuable than a 100+ in the forwards.

So Boyd + Greene for me!
Good advice B18. I was considering Smith.....not now!!

I'm not so sure, would need to talk to someone with a better knowledge of the Bulldogs setups etc. And see what they do in the NAB Challenge.
One reason why that potential issue is not so much of a worry for me atm is that it seemed like Dahlhaus could rack up the points even when he wasn't a prominent figure in the game. I remember watching numerous games, where I was barracking for The Bont, and opponents had Dahlhaus and he somehow could just keep racking up the points when it seemed he wasn't really in the game compared to a dominant Bont in most scenarios. It was frustrating, so hopefully he racks them up again this year for my side.
THIS! Was so damn frustrating at times not having Dahlhaus and watching all my opponents killing it with him in their teams. LOCK and Load!

Jacobs vs Naitanui

reason why?? pls
Personally i prefer NicNat but i've read stats that suggest both have tough starts and average X% less in losing teams.

I'm assuming your R1 is Goldy?

Looking at maybe taking a dark horse in the mids and two that springs to mind;

Gibbs vs Duncan

(Possibly Cunnington to)

Goldy and Def rookie v Lobbe and B Smith
I think it depends on what your expectations of Lobbe/Smith would be. I would take Goldy/rookie personally. I don't mind Lobbe but Smith makes me feel uncomfortable.

Ps. happy birthday big fella.

Gibbs or Duncan for mine. Gibbs probably in front because he has at least performed at a premium level before and been relatively durable until last year.

JPK and Wines or T Mitchell and Sloane.
The let's give these two young exciting guns a run says the later, the ox is slow and the moon is long (whatever Malthouse said) says the first. Bit more fun the later I reckon.
What do you think?

What about going with both Wines and TMitch? Would be a bold decision but could pay off handsomely. Will give you a little extra to maybe throw towards an upgrade somewhere else too if your'e just short somewhere.

I would stay away from Sloane to start with to see how he does without Danger and the crows tough start.
I like Wines the most out of the 4, just think he will explode this year and Port have a good draw early.
JPK is probably safer than TMitch but TMitch is a good chance to put together a full season of premo scores and is cheaper.

Need some help here community.

Shiel Vs Tom Mitchell.

I have a feeling that both will go bang this year but I feel that Shiel will go large more often in 2016.

Both have a huge ceiling but Shiel has 7 tons in the first 8 rounds and averaged 111 after 11 rounds last year.

The negative on Mitchell is "Horse". Plays him forward then mid and then out of the side. That concerns me a little.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

PLEASE HELP!!
