Just after some opinions. Working out my last spot in my forward line and need to chose from Darling (Ave 69.14 only 33 last week) Howe (Ave 76.60) and Tappy (Ave 69.50)

Leaning towards Tappy even though it's his first game back, as I still think he has more potential to rack up the possies than the other 2. But worried he may start as Sub and screw me. Any thoughts? :rolleyes:

Is this for the rest of the season?

I'd go Darling. Not to put a knock on our boys, but it's Tappys first game back, and Howe is a marking forward in greasy decisions.

Oh nah sorry mate I have all 3, two of them need to go on the bench, just wondering who to start this week.

Howe. Has current form. Gets points with one percenters even when he's not getting heaps of footy

Darling's tapered off over the past month or more. I've benched him & am thinking of trading him

Tappy had dropped off a bit when he got hurt. The sub risk you mentioned is a factor as well

Yeah which ever I don't pick will score high!!! So on that theory I'll play Darling so Tappy and Howe have blinders, and I'm still happy!

Howe - I reckon he is going to smash a big 100 sooner rather than later.

Darling is tired & sore

Tappy - 1st game back might be an issue.

If that is your forward bench for the rest of the season you are in a good position.

Smokey forward for the remainder of the season - Jonothon Brown

Cheap & looking to be running into some handy form. Capable of 160 plus when firing.

I still have Darling, but reckon he's gotta go as his output has gone from brilliant for a 1st yr player, to just average. Howe has been a bit better, whilst Tappy had tapered off a little preinjury too. Not sure how Tappy will return, but I'm quite happy with Howe so far.

I have Jonno Brown after his second game back and is starting to peak thank god. And in all honesty what the hell are you still doing with tapscott and darling in your team. A decent downgrade is Ian Callinan from Crows. Comes back next week, 91k price rise after next game. Get on him. my worst forward is Jonathan Brown by the way and now he is starting to hit form. Form is temporary, class is permanent

Talia from the Crows is a good downgrade option. 92 points in his first game and will be given time to develop. A DPP also.

Yeah my backline was the issue this week as I have Puoppolo, Birchall and Suckling, all with the bye so had to bring in Dan Nicholson, Andy Otten and Nick lower. At least they are all playing but I'm used to chalking up the points when those Hawks kick to and fro each other round the half back line racking up 25-30 possies each. I really want to put Ablett as Captain but very unsure if he will play the full game, so prob go for pendles.

I decided to concentrate more on my mids and high scoring defenders. So to save some trades for finals I decided to leave Darling and Tappy there for now. They are on the bench anyway and besides I'm averaging 2096 a round thus far so this I'm traveling ok for now.

See? We do need a fantasy footy sub-section :D Luckily, my worst forward is Yarran. Should be averaging 90+, but I can't change that.

Depending on trades you should do a downgrade/upgrade - Tapscott and Darling > Talia and some premium.

Anyway, tough choice for captain this week. Not sure on Ablett. Maybe Pendles.

It'd be nice if you got a free trade for Heath Shaw. Pretty rough!

One of the most reliable defenders.

I reckon the majority of fantasy leagues will be forced to trade him now.

I'm down to 4 trades now because of his stupidity.

Ditto.

Was very keen on Pendles and Buddy, plus one quality back to finish off the side - with 310 in the bank. Now I'm 2 quality defenders short.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
