Are we all fading Whitfield for some reason unknown to me?

Could be nothing and maybe I’m just salty because I started then traded him out at his bye but since moving back to defence he’s done better in the second half of the season

2023 won’t include I’m assuming his injured 40 in round 1
Round 3-12: 90.2 average

Round 13-24 100.8 average (he also continued that form into finals)

2024
Round 0-11 99 average
Round 13-24 121 average

It could be nothing. I only traded him because there were a few tag games coming but clearly the giants found a way around that and had a clear focus to get him the ball.

Coke boy or his brother..?

I'm not sure which is which, but the older one

Flanders is a lock to be in it.

 

[Toastie]

Finding it hard to decide which one of Mills, Roberts or McKercher to go for. Early bye for Sydney is killing me

Sheezel, Flanders, Whitfield, Martin, Sinclair

Maybe it's me ....but I can see a similar output in playing style of McKercher to Gulden ....I can see NORTH wanting the ball in McKercher's hands with his elite kick

I have both Mills and McKercher .....I've gone real value in DEF over the top dogs

Surely teams starting putting someone on him? He's the main guy for GWS now.

Does this help?

I reckon people trying to find reasons not to pick Mills are gonna regret it… sometimes there’s a reason everyone has a player. Mills has been a SC superstar before and no reason he won’t again.

 

[JDWCE]

Does this help?

Those don’t tell the whole story. Roberts was injured and came back into the side as sub multiple weeks to bring him back slowly. There’ll still be a discrepancy if those sub games get taken out but it won’t be as stark

Wanganeen-Milera only in 4.3% ownership

Seems low

I wonder why

There could be a few reasons.
Sinclair moving back full time and Schoenmaker possibly going back as well could affect his scoring.
Also if your starting a 100 average player you are expecting them to maybe breakout and jump to 105-110 and it probably not going to happen with him. Also there are better options cheaper Dale,Stewart,Holmes ect

Gun, he'll defs keep improving, I do like him, but I wonder what his ceiling is? His floor is high, tick, but his score ceiling seems low, doesn't have big 130+ scores in him. Just seems a bit boring and safe. Rather take a punt on somebody who I think can go bigger. Still on my radar though.

NWM is their best there is to run and kick out of defense. His biggest scoring is from meters gained. I expect Sinclair doing a different role in defense. Maybe a more defensive role on opponents and to clean up when the ball hits the ground. There's no Battle anymore so he'll be sharing the load with Sheonmaker who is only 20yrs old.

Been in my side all pre-season. Whilst Sinclair is the more popular pick, I'm really bullish on NWM. Scoring might be a little volatile where one waxes whilst the other wanes, but I'm hoping Sinclair cops the forward tags and NWM can run free.

And I'm hoping the opposite..
