Loved his interview, I just play what the defense gives me.....i just make it up as I go.....I kick more than i handball.....good price, good role, most impressive from 2 rounds so far by a mile.

In my team at this point at the expense of Maynard

Definitely an upgrade from Maynard POD.

Think Howe was rested in the 3rd.
I was going through Defenders and their durability last night. Come across him and his 127 straight H&A games but only ever gone above 90 twice 2018(95.8) and 2020 (99.2).
Durability v average.

On last year's points , for defender eligible players this year Crisp is ranked 8th (Short 12th).

A interesting one is Blicavs is 9th.

Too many options in defence this year.

Yeh probably higher averages due to role changes. From memory Blicavs was rucking and Crisp was higher up the ground.
Still think we need Crisp (or Maynard) in the mids and start sitting a few blokes on their arse , but I doubt if Bucks and the match committee frequent these pages , and even so take any notice of my opinions.

Geelong's defence will be intriguing without Taylor and whether Blicavs ends up actually playing that defensive role more and more as per that article a few weeks ago.

Certainly a very dangerous player when he was allowed to play that wing role as well as rucking.

Well, my practice draft defence is looking OK with Mills, Short and Howe if they can keep up their current form. The rest of that team is average though. Hopefully my main draft goes equally well.
Have those 3 along with Williams and Salem in my keeper league, I'm pretty happy with the mix!

I think you have to go 5-0-1 or 2-3-1 to create $$$ for other positions.

If you look at Dow , Campbell , Powell M6-8 & ZDIC up forward that's 8 onfield rookies.

Need some of these $ 123,900.00 guys to start putting their hands up for spots.

Hard (impossible) having 4 x $ 600k + mids plus Cripps and still having Gawn & Grundy unless you go another 1-2 rookies forward but then have 10 upgrades (at least) to do + 2-3 others , you are not leaving many trades left for issues.
