Position 2021 Forwards

[ImissFrosty]

What do people think that these value forwards can average and what are the risks that come with them.
BIG BENNY BONER BROWN- can see him averaging 70 odd with big scores. Still a kpf and has had injury issues. Should be pretty safe though, especially with Darren Burgess fixing him up. He fixed Bennells calves which was supposedly impossible.
Ziebell- Injury issues and depends on his role. If he plays hb/mid he's a real chance to go 80+ but no thanks if fwd.
Impey- Safe pick to make some cash regardless of where he ends up playing. 60 odd if fwd. 70+ if back.
Daniher- Could go similar to Brown but is much riskier IMO. Seems an odd pick considering Brown $30k more and Impey $20k less.
Buddy- Basically hasn't played in the last 2 years, 34 in January and could easily go down early on. A lot more expensive and riskier than the others but reward could be massive.
Orazio- DPP is handy but has old man hammys and I don't rate him as a player TBH.
Interested to hear your thoughts and any other value options.

Whether Impey is a good pick or not depends on where Hawthorn play him. I'm a bit worried about the fact that he was getting played up forward late last year, I can say from experience watching him at Port that he won't score in that role. As a defender though he should go 70+.

Impey plays back I think. Plays better in that position and our drafting will hopefully have delivered us a small forward. Impey plays forward only if we have injuries and/or the draftees all stink it up.

Hawthorn backline hotly contested next year, only spot on the ground that is pretty decent for them.
Keys: GOAT (Frost), Hartigan, DGB, Koschitzke, Scrimshaw???, Sicily injured.
Small/flankers: Impey, Day, Hardwick, Greaves, Jiath.
I'm not sure if Impey plays back actually, definitely wait and see where he plays jlt.

I am all over these Forwards what a feast we will have on these players we get plenty of Supercoach points and plenty of cash to upgrade it's a win win.
Ben Brown $260,300 in 2019 had 7 scores over 100 and an average of 79.5 in the worst team ever Lock
Jack Ziebell $257,900 before last year 106 from 110 games and an average of 84 still in the worst team ever Lock
Jarman Impey $212,800 he is a spud really but should average 70ish and make $100k Lock

I'm thinking those three as well and in that order. Impey is very hard to fit into my side though because he's really just an expensive rookie at that price.

I only have Brown and Ziebell in my team atm. Can't fit Impey in but I'd totally forgotten about him anyways.

When Brown won the Coleman, he averaged in the 70s.

It's an absolute ceiling and I'm not sure he'll get near it anyway.

I'm personally not interested in any of the KPFs.

I think Ziebell's body might be cooked.

I won't be flirting with any of the guys you have named

Brown's averages since 2016. 76, 77, 83, 80, 48. His scores have always been very inconsistent with some massive tons but plenty of stinkers. He's playing for a better side now so you can take out the stinkers due to the ball not even getting down to him all day. Worst case is a 65 odd average IMO. I can't wait for him to start off slow and everybody jump off board and then he'll go huge for back to back 150s.

Good luck with it mate. I don't think the best case scenario is good enough, simple as that. I respect that you see it differently

 

[Schulzenfest]

Brown is gonna take time to adjust to the Dees IMO. He'll have to adjust to playing with Weideman, which I can see being a bit difficult as they're both mostly stay-at-home forwards, and aside from Petracca none of their mids can kick.

Clayton Oliver is deeply offended.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Except that Tom Phillips is clearly an instareplacement for Isaac Smith

Quarters being longer & back to wing role.

I'm locking him in until PS says otherwise.

I think he goes back to a 90 average.

As a forward, it definitely makes it a solid selection. He's been in and out of my squad over the past week.

Problem is there are guys around that price point that I think can improve by more, and I'm greedy

He should fit in ok, Weed crashes the packs, allowing Brown to run up and down the ground creating space to lead inside 50. Fritsch is a strong link up player and 1on 1 inside 50 so if we keep some space he should be alright. On our kicking, Tracc is ok, but the rest of the mids are crouch level butchers. Lucky we have Salem, Rivers, Fritsch, Melksham (2018 form), Pickett, Jackson and the draftees who are good kicks inside 50. Choco Williams also working very hard on our kicking, got them using his precision ball and everything.

He's on the watch list for me

I think Daniher will play in the ruck at times and push he’s average to 100

Sounds perfect for a guy with chronic groin issues.

Quite a bit of team bias on this forum as of late.

What happens if Mcinerney goes down? Your ruck stocks are pretty trash tbh. Won't average 100 but if he gets his groins ok then playing ruck will be great for his scoring. Fair shout actually.

That’s probably fair Fullarton is probably our next recommended ruckman he’s come from a basketball background and played well against Ryder in he’s first game last season

I'd still pick Hurn is he was traded to another team.
I'd pray that they finished bottom and remained winless until he retired and was inducted into the West Coast hall of fame but still

No he won’t.
