Top 6 defenders

[Judd Magic]

Who to start with, Sicily or Houston?

156 for Howe is very nice.

I picked Howe, very happy.

I know it was just Marsh series but the way he looked in that pre-season game convinced me to pick him. Now just need Sicily to follow suit.

Was tossing up between Lloyd and Howe, went with Lloyd.

Lloyd was on 18 at QT, Q2 included 4 disposals (3 kicks, all of which were contested), a mark, a tackle.

He's on 52 at HT.

Copped a bit of an injury to the chest I think and sat out a fair bit of the game through the 2nd and 3rd quarters

[RaisyDaisy]

Houston and Brodie both horrible for me, but so far most of the other prem defenders have been average too, besides Doch and Howe, so I guess it's not as bad as it could have been

Still frustrating

Thanks Rusty
Just looking at the rd1 destruction  of my impeccable  team ... feels like I have taken one to the chest too!

Yep time to get him tf out of my team after they. Never again.

Yeah I have no interest in Dawson whatsoever - if he was 50-100k cheaper then sure, but he's too expensive and there's plenty of other guys who are much more proven for a little more

Lloyd, ZWil, Laird, Stewart, Daniel, Ryan, Sicily and Docherty are the safe picks to finish Top 6-8

Houli and Hurn could certainly back it up, but I just don't see any reason to risk starting them as their age makes them much more of an injury risk/scoring decline

Houston & DBJ are the two that I like in terms of breaking out to mid 90's, but similar to Dawson there isn't a huge saving in starting them so they can be picked later if need be, or if you're struggling for funds I don't mind starting 1 of them

Everyone else not mentioned (Rich, Rampe, Newman etc) I have zero interest in

hes not talked about by anyone really. He's in for me, for Roberton. very very good POD

since rd 10 last yr to now, his avg is 103 (taking out a 7 were he must have been injured) also making him a little underpriced.

last 3 yrs avg have a upward trend
64
71
87(rd 10 onward 103)

Houstans since rd10 avg is 89

so summarising his appeal to me


DBJ: since rd 10 ave 103
avg Disposals: 25
Ownership: 0.7%

Houstan: since rd 10 ave 89
avg Disposals: 20
Ownership: 29.3%

*both since rd 10 averages include rd1

He wasn't injured for that 7, he scored it in a full game of football and it can't be disregarded

good to know, cheers

I guess its how you want to look at it, glass half full or empty

anomaly and has him underpriced or expect something like that again

[Mat0369]

I'm sad now that everyone has Howe in their team

Everybody except me!

Ended up trading B Smith to Stewart, so at least that is working so far.
