Position 2023: Forwards Discussion

[Shaunpro1]

I dont mind having a slightly weaker structure on paper if I'm starting 11 legit top line premiums, people will start stronger but are relying on their Greens and sub premiums becoming season long keepers.

 

[OnTopBar]

I'm genuinely looking at a 0-1-5 structure down back with Yeo at D1. Would need some pretty strong certainty in the bench rookies and perhaps even a D/M option in the mids but if they're there, I'm liking it. The idea of a Daicos type at D1 is also definitely in play. Expect that forward tags will be fairly common this year which means premium defenders could definitely be available cheap this year.



So hard to judge with the new coach. Cameron definitely wanted him playing midfield and was progressing there, whole season out will see how he comes back and where he's playing. 65 average would be a pass mark, so had two seasons at the right level.

Missing a whole season with persistent hamstring issues is a pretty major red flag though, going to need to get 8 rounds out of him.

I'd be interested to see what the mid/fwd structures would be, particularly with Draper at R2

Have been playing with that today, Daicos at D1, Yeo at D2, Draper at R2.

Laird, Oliver, Bont, Steele, LDU, Green, Hopper through the middle (!)
Dunkley, Cogs, Rozee, Fyfe up forward.

Other than Draper which just feels wrong it's a very tempting setup 🤔

Yes, but Draper is concerning.

For sure.

It's one of those fun fantasy teams that February allows you to indulge in.

Good, concentrate on goal kicking and 40% mid time

Following the Essendon intraclub on bomberblitz:

Martin changed teams again! it seems whichever team he is on takes the advantage…
Also this will please people. He’s played the whole quarter so far as a starting mid alongside Merrett and Parish.
And he’s dominating. I think even had every centre clearnace.

I had him in my team for a while, he's one I'd like to fit in, but such an awkward price. Might need to reshuffle things and get him back in...

(Note "my team" is just a pen and paper team this year, my only official team will be the SCS combined side).

 

[Manikato1]

Nat Fyfe has announced he is stepping down as captain of the Fremantle Dockers.

And when I watched being interviewed on TV last night about, I got the vibe that he was not real happy about it. Might be wrong but just a vibe.

MPM Team or real deal?

 

[Ironhawk]

MPM Team or real deal?

Possibly both. I haven't started working on my MPM team yet. I did have him in my actual team, but dropped him for Fyfe to free up some cash, should be able to restructure elsewhere though.

Would you know if Shiel, Langford and Caldwell are healthy?

From what ive read Shiel and Langford are fine and Caldwell had the 'no contact' hat on and played forward

I love how he pops up every year for a game or two just to remind you that he is somehow still on a list. That guy you thought was cut 5 years ago and is still going

Credit to him.

I reckon he changed his name by deed poll from Cunningham to Cuningham to make himself just that little less beige.
