Position 2024 Forwards

[WaynesWorld19]

I reckon him and Macrae are pretty good risk/reward bets at current price.

I m prioritisng Dawson and Walsh, but one of those two would be my third choice. Leaning towards Macrae only becuase he is a SC premo veteran.

Macrae is who i’ve gone with this week …. has done it B4 …. there were reasons for the slow season start

Even last week, negligible CBA’s …. but coming in off the HFF as the extra mid

Plus he’s got a favourable bye

Its really up to Bevo isnt it.

If Macrae plays mainly midfield going forward - which is where any sane person would play him - then he is an absolute bargain at $480k.

 

[VainGlorious]

At least Sexton has become useful now the campaigner. I can use Comben to cover both the backs and forwards via him.

**** I hope Chom plays in defence.

pick now, due to role and injury concerns.

Thinking that I'll save my $$ and get a more reliable player next week

It’s a very nice price though in a world with few fwd options.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

It’s a very nice price though in a world with few fwd options.

Same bye as Heeney and Powell. And loves an injury.

 

[stevebbb]

Forwards are getting worse, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

Powell moved out of the middle.
Macrae spudded it up and Libba still out of the side.
Jackson 70something after a good start.
Zorko moved out of defence.
Bolton dropped a low score.


So who we looking at?

Caldwell - can he keep up the good scoring despite such low CBAs?
Baker - will he be taken out of the midfield?
KPF?


Fyfe, Reid and SamDarcy F4-F6 looks fine for now, but if you're trading Powell out, who you bringing in?


On Powell: If Phillips is dropped, do we just keep Powell?

Honestly at this rate both are becoming more and more likely to be F5-F6 keepers.

Yep. Fyfe might breakdown at some stage, and Reid will be rested again I'm sure, but you're right, they're keepers.

Sam Darcy 4/6 scores above 80. Score floor of 50. He's fine at F6 for a while (can loophole F6/F7 with Livingstone).

 

[Loose at HB]

Caldwell - can he keep up the good scoring despite such low CBAs?

Average with Setterfield - 79.3 (3 games)
Average without Setterfield - 102.8 (4 games)

Average with Perkins - 84.3 (4 games)
Average without Perkins - 104.0 (3 games)



Food for thought…

Setterspud, Perkins, Shiel could impact Caldwell too

Rankine? McKay?

 

[vic_LION]

I don’t mind McKay, given the lack of options.

 

[Ljam]

Caldwell looked great but jeez you would want to see those 2 back and how they impact.

 

[5ammy]

Gees Jackson was a hard watch last night, started on fire but went on to score 30 odd points in 3 quarters of footy. Frustrating player to own but got no choice but to hold as a forward.

 

[swindle]

Miers & Moore could be options

 

[SavDog23]

Me searching the world trying to find anything that resembles a genuine forward premo...

 

[Veer Right]

W-Train

 

[Petrify]

Caldwells scoring will be up and down all year. We're doing the Geelong thing where we rotate 15 people through the midfield. He'll have some quieter games when Setterfield, Perkins & Shiel are back. So there's really no reason to grab him before the bye

 

[JT_the_Man]

Honestly at this rate both are becoming more and more likely to be F5-F6 keepers.

I accepted that Fyfe is a keeper about 2 weeks ago tbh.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

Cupboard is really bare this year isn’t it

I’m actually considering doing the Roughead manoeuvre to bring Harley Reid back in.

Have I gone mad?

 

[VainGlorious]

Cupboard is really bare this year isn’t it

Considering we had Butters, Rozee, Conigs, Dunks, Gulden and Taranto to choose from as starting premo forwards last year, abso****inlutely. Add Macrae, D Cameron, Sheezel and some others and we were spoiled for choice.

We’ve got Heeney, Flanders, and speculative premo KPF’s this season.

Last line to upgrade.

 

[Ingy]

I reckon Powell gets back in the midfield and quickly returns to scores that please his owners.

He's young and he got a bit of an onfield rest. No big deal

Nah you haven't gone mad my friend.

I'm roughying Fyfe back in this week.

Feels good doing my first roughy for the year.

What a horrible top 10.

After the top 3 it's vomit worthy.
