With all of Hinge/Gibcus/McCartin/SDK named. Are those with rookie D5&6 happy? Maybe Hewitt at D5 not needed?

Yeah think I just suck it up with Gibcus now, didn't really want to pick him but that lets me keep a reasonably balanced structure. Fund that with Preuss down to Hayes and I might actually be done? :eek:

Anyone got the balls to start hall if he’s named?
Could be a winning pick and as a huge pod he could be number 1 down back. Atm I’m 50/50 on him ve crisp
Crisp obviously safe will play 22 at 100+
Hall with the ability to go 115 though is very tempting

Not sure I’ll have the stones

Absolutely.

1% ownership and has the potential to be the #1 ranked defender by season's end.

Even if he misses this week I'll start him.

His role is just too good to pass up. North try to get the ball in his hands every chance they get.

Most opposition teams especially the top ones won’t put a tag on him either.

$300 off going Gibcus to Hewitt. Might have to go Hinge to Hewitt instead but I think Hinge probs has the best ceiling albeit glass shoulders.

I'd love to start Hall but for me it's taking one of the safest and most duable players in Crisp out and risking a 31 year old with past injury history - sort of goes against everything that I work for to get Crisp in my team.
I think Hall will outscore Crisp significantly on a per game basis.

Expecting probably 10 - 12 a game, which is a combination of Hall being discounted and me not rating Crisp as highly (despite having started him in each of the last 3 years).

Assuming Hall plays 19 games and Jack Crisp plays 22 games, also assuming your bench option scores 60.

That's 2305 points from Hall and 2310 from Crisp.

So I guess the question is, can you see Hall playing more than 19 games this season?

At Milera's price and lack of back rookies, I am. Cheaper in DT compared to his SC price though, SC it's probably not as easy of a pick. All things going alright, he should have a 75-85 SC average, could push higher if he really broke out like many anticipated when he did his injury (we'd sign him to a 5 year deal for memory that pre season) however there's the obvious injury risk concern and he hasn't pushed over an 80sc average for a season before.

Whats Mileras role even going to be when they are full strength, got plenty of questions personally before you even consider his horrendous durability.

If he's named, I'll likely swap for Lloyd - gotta take some risks in this game :p
