For sure mate not being funny about it! He will need a forward bench for me to go near him being a pure tackler

Thoughts on Stimson? Reckon he goes minimum 10-15 points above last years average!

I like Stimson. Storm 2RFs are always tempting. You’ve just got to get the right one. Harris and Taufusi were gold.

Hey Welshy. I'm always interested in Rabbit's opinions. Good footy brain. Stats wise, priced at 28.5 and avg of 40.8 when 60 min+, I'm defo interested in Stimson. But there's lots I'm interested in.

Reckon He nails 80 minutes with Kauf this year, good for 40-45 in my book without much trouble!

Sorensen and Capewell both in same bracket, could be a good year to go 2RF lite and get the guns in other positions to start

I've got a fair few who i reckon go 10+ over their prev. average without too much issue, pending TLT of course

They're all on my watchlist except Lawrie. Who's that guy? And I haven't seriously considered Surgess. Why should I? Edge now with different coach, risky or gold?

I have 4 other POD forwards in my draft team too that I think are undervalued

Schick must be loving Gillettes corporate suicide

Wait! Welshy, Voldemort (aka Sironen) is good value!

Really? I don't think so

Never failed to go under 50 in 5 years prior, so either getting value or worse case a wasted trade on a high level mid ranger

Hey man, I don't mind Napa also as long as he's not suspended. How did you end up last year? From memory you started well but didn't hear from you much later in the season, I can relate, I run out steam through the year.

Chance at lock spot if JDB doesn't suit up mate

Surgess as I posted my reasoning above, you know I'm a sucker for previous fantasy gold

Ended up top 2000 somewhere. Took some risks along the way in an attempt to win, that didnt pay off, while missing other important moves.

It's tough. You learn a lot. Last year was my unluckiest year. Every guy I brought in got injured. Twice in the case of Dugan. Brown's one to two week injury was like seven weeks or so! BUT I'd set myself up for it. I started with a really good team. But captained Ted for his 30 something. A few weeks later to try and make things up I captained Milf for a 30 something. From memory both went large the following week. Lessons. Captaining a back is a clutch play, best left until later in the year. Patience can be a virtue. BUT culling the duds is important too!

Oh, And as last ditch effort captained Fitzgibbon. For his injury affected 8 (x2=16 ). Oh man, what a year! But at least I can say I made my worst decisions in the year that I had my most bad luck (so far!). So maybe I'll make better decisions this year and have some luck?!
