Position 2015 SuperCoach defenders

[Kadog]

Waters is cooked. When he eventually plays they'll manage him in cotton wool. Would have to have a nice succession of games before considering again.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

I know the defence is looking pretty doom and gloom at the moment, but there are some exceptional talents for sub 200k provided they get a crack
Lever, ZJones, Durdin, Colquhoun, WhiteX etc.
All have a pretty tough job to break into there respective 22, got a good feeling about Lever, and then of course there's the McKenzie, Goddard, Dick sort that are cheaper and have a decent chance to be playing round 1.

is R.Shaw a risky pick?

Not risky, just a shit pick.

Could you recommend me someone under 420k besides KK

 

[Mattrox]

Are we putting a line through Birchall in our rnd 1 sides n9w?

Can anyone link me to any articles?
I've only seen on this thread that he hasn't been training for the last 10 days. Nothing solid as of yet?

 

[Jiska]

chopping and changing the backline quicker than my missus changes moods..

Wouldn't have thought that possible, unless your missus is a she-man

Ibbo. Docherty.

Adcock?

Just going to throw this out there...

Ben Jacobs priced around 250K from memory. Would be the favourite to take the position left by Levi Greenwood with Dumont being 2nd in the running for it. This position is an inside midfield role. Jacobs absolutely dominated the VFL playing this position last season (consistently 35d, 1 goal, 7+ tackle and mark BOG games), but couldn't quite put it all together in the AFL (few sub affected games) . Apparently a lot more vocal this pre-season and looking/feeling like he finally belongs (his own words in an interview).

To increase the potential of being a good pick, he was given a 1 year contract at the end of last season. Basically has to make it this season or he's done.

You'd be crazy to not have him on your watch list and monitor his pre-season at the very least considering how shocking the backline looks this season.

Any thoughts on Jamie MacMillan. I know he was injured last year but I heard he was travelling ok at the moment. Is he best 22?

If he's fit he's definitely best 22, but can't see him ever averaging more than 75-80 at best. Jacobs is a much more natural ball winner

Thanks. At D5 at the moment 75-80 sounds pretty good

Probably put a line through another defender. Dropping like flies.

 

[Super Hans]

Ugh. Birchall and Hibberd have been the two rocks in my defense, have to rethink it now.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

He'll be right for round 1. He has to be. He's my favourite damn it!

I'll be keeping him for the time being at least and if named round 1 he's locked.

Looks like a set back rather than disaster but if misses early games or has a few quiet ones might be better picked up later?

 

[felsty]

Thanks for linking this.
Any Suns followers know which games he played more of a wingman role? Would like to be able to watch them and see how he went.

 

[King_Steele]

Have reshuffled my defence, since the Waters & Birchell news.

Thoughts?

 

[Feerits Elf]

I think the Gold Coast jumper looks like a serve of french fries.
