2012 SC Defenders

[ubeaut]

Am looking at some mid price options for defense. Thought it would help me and others in the same boat to rank these players in terms of risk.
B.Lake, R.Hargrave, R.Conca, B.Smith, C.Dempsey, B.Waters, C.Howard, J.Grimes, N.Malceski. Start with less risk to highest. Thanks.

Originally I had Jack Grimes as my 4D, with Marty Clarke and Jackson Allen at 5 and 6. I've since switched Grimes out for Lake and replaced Allen with teammate Karmichael Hunt.

Was wondering which backfield would be the better option.

Option 1:
Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Grimes, Allen, Clarke

Option 2:
Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Lake, Hunt, Clarke

Opinions?

has anyone looked at Mitch Golby from Lions... played half a season last year after terrible injury run and looks very promising ball winner and voss likes the way he plays.. i have him over lake at the moment both are priced at about 270 k...

Been a bit of talk about Golby. His NAB games were reasonably impressive but I can;t remember seeing him much last year. Could be a good POD.

Hi, can anyone give me any feedback about T.Gillies & C.Guthrie and if they are likely to play round 1?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Um you should be telling us.

That said, Both won't play much

 

[kreuze_missile]

Any love for Pearce Hanley?

 

[viking12]

who to choose betwen melcheski or waters ?

Gillies no (even if he does he won't score well at all)

Guthrie maybe, but there are far better and safer options to choose from in the backline

 

[Spitta09]

Got both Goddard and Fisher in my team is this a problem?

 

[BORK]

Any love for Pearce Hanley?

I predict he will have a similar average to Heath Shaw at the years end but starting at a 100000 discount.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Malcheski or Golby fellas?

Have been swiching between them for D5 spot.

I reckon Golby could be in for a good year while Malcheski looks great value.

Both have been dominating in the nab cup too.

Thoughts?

 

[RodneyMaynard]

I can only afford 3 premiums in defense, which of the following defenders are the top three?

Lids
Goddard
Scotland

Broughton

I currently have Lids Scotland and Shaw. Doing my head in.

I agree with your current set-up. My order would be

1. Lids
2. Goddard
3. Shaw
4. Broughton
5. Scotland

 

[viking12]

i have goddard, deledio and broughton

cant choose my 4th premium between scotland or shaw, which one ?

 

[ILY Leonard]

Got a rookie spot in my forward line, should I go for Wilson, Kennedy, Cameron or Smith from GWS?

Smith, definitely. More of a midfielder but categorised as a forward.

 

[jk20]

What are peoples thoughts on Ibbotson and Stratton?

 

[BLUES9898]

Thoughts on Graham Joncock?

 

[rocker_oz33]

^^has a cool name he's to much up and down.

 

[scoremachine]

Any thoughts on my defenders-

Goddard, Deledio, Yarran, Hansen, Guthrie, Ellis, Bugg (Hunter, Mangan)

Am hoping Yarran & Hansen have a breakout year. Probably my weakest line so not too worried.

Probably wouldnt take the gamble of both Yarran and Hansen breaking out. Yarran much more likely.

I'd downgrade or upgrade Hansen depending on your finances and the rest of your team.

I'd go Malceski, simply for the fact that he has shown previously that he is a more than viable premium back. If he is fit, he will score well. Only played 22 games in a season twice in the last 5 years, but both were SC gold, with 102 and 96 averages respectivley.

All good mate, I grabbed both. Problem solved. LOL.

Golbys going to be my smokey that I'm taking a risk on.
