Naden certainly seemed to be on the outer at the end of last season.

What's people's opinion on EDG if you had to choose one of Crichton and Matterson. Seems that Matterson is a lock for 80 each week with a slightly lower PPM, however Angus is the 2nd half of the season did not play for 80 minutes in any of the weeks. Still scores well, but has a reduced minute roll. All the talk on here is Angus, but tell me why?

With Cordner out last season, Crichton played 80 minutes in 2 of the 3 games that he played in.

I think since there are only two edge positions then both should be guns. But which one’s?

I’m going left field and picking Alex Glenn

Not saying he’s a gun. Just I see upside

I suspect there will be much more value in cheap/middies at EDG than at MID

Riki, Blore, Thompson replacement at Manly, Cowboys edge, Tupouniua, CHN. At least a couple of these will be good to go.

Fifita might be underpriced for a top level gun/ Crichton and Matterson would be alright if you want to go keeper from the start .

Correct. Most of these will be in my 14-17!

I'd heard that he may replace Naden/May.
Also, rumoured that the Panthers are chasing Momirovski from the Tiger's (who could play Centre), in a deal that would allow Laurie to be released a year early (and give the Tiger's and my Fantasy team a fullback)

SST could be alright if he gets goalkicking... poor mans Lolo

Crichton's DPP makes him go up a notch in the gun forward stakes.

Given how stingy they've been with DPP so far, unless changes based on TLT give us some options going to be slim pickings.

Crichton, maybe TPJ, maybe Jackson Ford. Anyone else look likely?

I'll be focusing more on H2H this year. Anyone have any tips, or do you play it much the same as for overall?

Crichton DPP doesn’t really change anything does it 

Already top tier EDG and you wouldn’t really play him in MID, whether that be in initial team or final 17

Just provides flexibility when needed. I recall a round last season where I had 5 2RFs and 3 were unavailable that week. Really screws up your season. 

With a lack of DPPs this season, we are likely to have more of these kinds of situations coming up.

Possibly Tom Gilbert.

Is anyone concerned if a back goes down Angus then shifts to centre?
