Bolton & Phillipou

LDU & Kako vs Bolton & Phillipou

IMO Bolton shoots out of the blocks .....LDU the tortoise, great 2nd half of seasons

Macrae and Coleman provided he’s fit and ready to go

Sinclair, Oliver, WAshcroft & JHF

Tough one, think I’d lean slightly to the top one imo. Could depend on how good Oliver looks in pre season games

Boltons last 2 games against both clubs:

Swans R17 2023 158sc points
Swans R3 2024 119sc points

Cats R15 2022 77sc points
Cats R9 2023 92sc points

He had 56% CBAs vs the swans last year and 52% the year prior as well as 65% for the 92 vs the cats

The 77 was only 23% which is what he will likely get at Freo

Well No one knows exactly what his Cba's will be your saying 23% and I'm saying 50%. Either way it's upto each supercoach player to decide if they start him or not and for the record I have never once had him in my team.
Personally I think he will be a different player at Freo and will score well (overall) but like any player will have down games but in my opinion I think he is worth starting. I'm sure there will be players that you want to start in your team the many other people will say why would you pick him but in gut you think they will be a good selection just like I think with Bolton.

Who's CBA's is he taking though?

Serong/Young/Brayshaw will all be 60%+ They will still have Fyfe going through there and try and blood Erasmus/Johnson/Murphy types

Walters will just about retire and they needed X-Factor/flair at half forward which is where he will predominately play

I already answered this question in the Forwards thread and you never responded. Now your hijacking this thread and I'm not going to argue with you we will all find out in a few weeks what will happen.

LDU is a notorious slow starter

Walsh & CARL have a super early 6-8 rounds .....my only conundrum was, I had Bont, Butters, and Walsh (M1-M3) .....all bloody R12 players

I've seen you say this a few times.

He started 2023 with

143 vs Eagles
155 vs Dockers

Then got injured lol. Not really a slow start though, and only two years ago.

As a 2024 starting owner of LDU .....he was frustrating to the point I had to trade him out ......the Titanic leaked less than LDU

My take .....it was the now famous "Rope-A-Dope" ploy

I think he's just one of those players that gets niggles/injuries and can't perform.

Bontempelli would be an example of the opposite. Plays well despite being banged up. Often carrying his team.

My take, having watched closely ....LDU when put under some attention, hasn't shown the grit to work harder .....he tends to accept the attention meekly

When allowed to run free .....he's simply devastating
