Position 2023: Forwards Discussion

[PC]

This was my point initially when everyone was acting like Sav was gods gift to our fantasy sides, have not for one second understood the hype and quite frankly am baffled hes still in a quarter of sides, Geelong had 3 key defenders with more talent in their big toe than him last year and not one of them averaged over 65 and the two that his role will be most comparable to went 61 and 56, not to mention Henry missed 8 games last year and they went without an extra key defender and didn't lose a game, not sure where the notion Sav has suddenly become a walk up starter has come from in all honesty.

I will enjoying my Rat 40s while you trade away ruck donuts

I think I'd rather a donut than Rat in my team LOL

Not sure on Geelongs draw but Rat does help with Madden to loop a few forwards rookie.

Ruck cover is vital imo, but Rat doesn’t really cut the mustard. Which is why I like one of Ziebell, Fyfe or Bruhn in the team for a sneaky upgrade for maybe 100K to a Gawn or Grundy type in round 6. But a lot has to go right for this to happen.

What's expected that Zorko will average in SC and how many games will he play

If you're getting from one of them to Gawn for $100k, you're either trading out a player you should be holding, or trading in a player you should be dodging!!!

Sheezel, Phillipou, Ratugolea is how I would rank them. The ruck coverage could be somewhat appealing with Ratugolea to some.

Yep, i'm running English, marshall, madden so if English or marshall miss even one game in the first 5 weeks (plan on bringing in a dpp Gawn after rnd 5) i would have to burn a trade just to get them in. So i would actually only need them to both play 4 games rnds 2,3,4,5 as obviously if they missed rnd one i would select someone else. Agreed Ratugolea is the one i least want but could also save a trade.

True, but you don’t need to do it round 6, more when the two week injury to the ruck happens you have that bail out option.

 

[Courtesans]

Wise move.. he probably won't live up to everyone's expectations at his new club.

Haven't got him either.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Depends who you have I guess, if I have Darcy and he misses maybe I'll look to bring in Jackson as cover. Deal with that later though

Amazing how many people are assuming Gawn will get DPP, especially as early as Rnd 6. Som even seem to be relying on it.
I reckon its a less than 50% chance.

Can't answer that, but he is becoming forgotten. Aways scores well when fit and not doing silly things.

My Coleman wager is relying on it…

David Warner is a shoo-in for the Coleman, Candice is preparing his speech right now.

Not relying on it, just my current plan at this stage, if it doesn't eventuate i'll do something else, everyone that plays supercoach should have plans..... Oviously not all plans work out!

I personally think he's a stinker of an option, dunkley and ashcorft into the mids with mcluggage and neale, he is 34, has had multiple recent soft tissue injuries, Gulden only $20k more etc etc. As we know anything could happen though and he might wind back the clock but there is no logical reason for that to happen IMO, best case 90 average and 20 games played i would have thought.

This one has gone through to Alex Carey unfortunately… best I could work out was this bad boy.

He's 34 years old too, any game could be his last.

45.3K teams now on Gulden.

Other interesting point is COGS has fallen away hard. Potn playing forward a factor, knee injury in game, other choices around.
