We're absolutely splitting hairs at this stage of the preseason.

Getting very difficult to answer without much more than a bit of guesswork and personal preference.

My last decision is Dusty vs Cogs and I know I'm not going to have this clarified between now and Thursday night unless I heard one of them was carrying an injury etc.

I see Walsh has overtaken Danger as the highest owned player (or maybe he already was and I just noticed), soo ...

Hurn & Walsh v B Smith & Rocky?

Yep, have heard plenty of Carlton supporters placing the VC on Walsh this Thursday - apparently he's not the messiah though, he's just a very naughty boy!

Bit of a different one as they're on opposing lines.

Dunkley (F4) vs Hurn/Crisp (D2)
I've come back to Dunkley. If it weren't for JLT1, he'd be in a lot more teams, I think. Not that there aren't reasons for doubt, but I think they're relatively minor and the upside is huge. And the quotes about McLean playing forward are promising.

EDIT: Is it Gray for you at F3? He's another I'm coming back round to.

Mcleans statement is whats had me come back to him too as i had the two of them in direct competition for the role. The Dunkley route does expose me somewhat in defence with rookies on field from D4 which im somewhat worried about, though i do think the Whitfield, Williams, Smith defence setup will be quite popular.

The old “how strong is your heart/how big are your cahones” X v Y! Haha
Cogs & Constable for me, but Rocky & Libba seems more fun (both SC and in life haha)
Haha yep Rocky & Libba would be exciting and ballsy.
has Constable been selected for Rd 1 and beyond ? ?
Just planing for all possible outcomes should he not get named.
I mean, Rocky and Libba may outscore Cogs and Constable Round 1, but I wouldn't want to bet on their injury history :p.

110 + 60
vs 95 + 90
Over how many games though?
3 games probably lol.
Reliable Cogs + up and coming rookie
Vs
Risk + trouble
Risky Reward or Double Trouble.

Cheers for all of the responses.

And suddenly a team you've been happily tinkering with has no players you could possibly sacrifice.
Just when you think you’ve locked it in or nearly all of it and just want to make 1-2 slight changes, it takes 6-7 changes to get that player you want and then you’re not happy again.

I think I’ve locked in my team basically and just have to accept I can’t have Duursma and have to have Drew down forward instead.

Although one door shuts and another opens (Scrimshaw doubts of being named by Clarko -> Duursma avaliable via downgrade)

If I said neither would you be offended - in that case..........neither
Considering my usual infaction to have a guns and rookie team there’s about 60% chance I end up with Sloane and none of the other 3, 39% chance I go Macrae and a rookie and 1% chance I end up with B.Crouch and Rockliff.

Just wanted to see if anyone thought the 2nd option was actually a better one and why haha.
