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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
