2012 SC Forwards

[robertg22]

Not sure about him, he would need to double his output to make any difference, I wouldnt bother with him my self.

What do people think of robbie gray? very consistant and i think he will get better this season any thoughts?

Consistent? His scores from round 5 to 13 last year: 62, 81, 63, 39, 114, 132, 56, 95. He is on my radar because he does have a high ceiling (look at the 168 he scored against Ess in R23 last year as proof of this) but the major concern I have over him is his lack of consistency.

Apparently Mark Lecras has been training with the midfield group this year. Worth a crack?

We seem to hear this every year. Pass.

Have already got Franklin, Pav/Fyfe, Martin and need to choose between Dangerfield and Brown for F4. Do people believe that Brown can go back to averaging 100 because I believe that Dangerfield will breakout and be Top 7 forwards. Can Brown be Top 7 aswell?

I think that we are going to have to wait until NAB to make both these calls

Jarred Waite???

Interrupted 2011, seemingly should be carltons main focus and plenty of ability to kick goals, contested marks and push up the ground.....thoughts?

Too inconsistent........ A unique pick but hard to see him 100+ PPG consistently

 

[Falchoon]

This is actually the first year I am really considering second year players in SC.. the sub rule coming in last year has meant that a lot of first year guys who came on in the 3rd/4th quarter last year have averaged around 20-30ish ppg, keeping their prices sub $200K

what do you think about taking these type second years over nearly priced first years? in particular...

Jamie Cripps - 4 Games @ 30 ppg, $162K
Sam Day - 7 @ 34, $185K

Cripps is one to watch in pre season

awesome awesome talent but has body issues

 

[Donakebab]

If anyone was thinking about picking up Didak, scrap the idea. He's torn an abductor muscle, will be coming into the season late and under done yet again.

 

[Bloben]

Didak could be a good trade option down the track however. I would hope that the club not rush his rehab and give him some VFL time to get some fitness back before playing.

in 2011 he had virtually no preseason and had injury concerns throughout the season. Obvious concerns about his longevity however if he can get back to some good form after returning to the seniors then he may be one to look at for a rookie upgrade.

 

[cotter101]

Which two players are better options?

Martin Vs Chapman

Sylvia Vs Zaharakis

Chapman is the proven gun.

Sylvia is a proven spud.

Chapman is the proven gun.

Sylvia is a proven spud.

Averaged about 96 last year, which was one of the highest forwards

 

[Eth]

Just terribly inconsistent, unless he's playing Richmond, then he'll almost guarantee 150 points.

 

[Shamael]

A.Christensen, breakout year?

 

[Falchoon]

Averaged about 96 last year, which was one of the highest forwards

he averages 17 games a year consistently too.

 

[rhaz]

he averages 17 games a year consistently too.

Already out for Round 1 next year serving a club suspension too.

 

[!_Bazinga_!]

anyone thinking of picking up Stevie. J?
Doesnt seem to be featuring too much in the discussions

 

[kool kangas]

Coming from Brisbane to Melbourne Mitch Clarke playing up forward and some ruck work seems to be one to look at. thoughts?

 

[Boxhead_31]

A.Christensen, breakout year?

The year will see him play a lot less as the substitute than last year which will see his score's improve quite significantly so yes it could quite well be

Pass. Unless he is playing as their first ruck man don't get him. Better options available.

How has his pre season been?

Geelong love pumping out versatile little goal sneaks. M.Stokes, S. Byrnes, A. Christensen.

Hasn't missed a session so is tracking along nicely.

Think Christensen is going to be more of a midfielder than a goal sneak so there is a lot of upside to him this year at 350k he only has to score 66 to break even so his price should rise fairly quickly

 

[Changa10]

Jason Winderlich? What is his status at the minute? I know he did an ACL in Round 4 last year, but is he expected to start the season or will he be eased in through the ressies?

 

[BigRang]

^^^this? Inside info on Winderlich essendon people? If he's going to slot straight back into their midfield I think he's definitely worth looking at. Reckon essendon could be on the way up this year.
Asked this question earlier on, but whats everyone's thoughts on Gary Rohan? The guy moves like the wind and has an awesome boot on him, there's talk of him running up and down the wing this season, could be bulk inside 50's... Thoughts? Sydney people?
