Can't see him being dropped with Sloane, Porplyzia and (possibly) Mackay all missing R3 through injury. Nobody knows what will happen if we ever have a full list to choose from - but how often does that occur? My guess is that he'll stay in the side as long as his form stays good, he's a young kid and it's a long season. He'll probably fade a bit as the season wears on, being given a run in the SANFL about 2/3 of the way through the season.
I'd say he'll still be splitting time between the midfield & forward line. He's a fantastic impact player, we just haven't really ever seen him put it together for a full 4-quarter performance yet.
All the best[/quote]
[/quote]Do you guys rate chris knights?
I reckon hes always had huge talent, just plagued by injuries last year.
Always been a fan of him and curious on how highly hes rated amongst you blokes
firstly) will he be a starter each week? can you see him being dropped or the sub/subbed?
secondly) He had a pretty good game first up against the hawks, without the presence of tippet and mainly porpus was he delivered the ball more. Where do you think he ranks in your foward line?
thirdly) will the coming up of Walker and possibly Mckernan along with the return of Kurt Tippet affect how much he gets and his impact? Maybe the loss of Porpus too (not sure on his state and cbs looking)
Finally) will he keep up his first round efforts?, ease off due to a more loaded Forward Line? or would he possibly flourish under the radar with the presence of the big men?
Please refrain from bias opinions
he is our best possession getter. the players that have left the club in the recent past do not affect his scores, because he has always been our best mid (since the days of Roo, Edwards, Goody in their prime).
it's always hard to top a PB year, so only time will tell. i personally think he'll do consistently well this year, but in terms of scores, i think they might be slightly below last years.
Vince, easy choice. vB is not a huge possession winner.Vince and Van Berlo - any preferences? thank you
I would go for Enright over Newman personally as he has been a more consistent dt backline premium over the past few seasons whereas Newman hasn't quiet reached that. Be aware though, Enright won't keep up his current average (not sure what it is off the top of my head but it would be around 110+). Last season he started strongly and started to draw attention from other teams which slowed his scoring down so be ready for this.
Certainly, you put Kennedy in your side for the hope that he could become a keeper/make you a fair bit of cash for a straight swap to a premium. At this stage, he hasn't shown you any of that (an average of 60 odd) and is basically showing you what you could get with a rookie. It is probably best to cut your losses early which leaves you a chance to pounce on the midfield rookie you like the look of most which happens to be Curnow (who has scored very strongly in the first two rounds this season).
Should definitely hold on until Jacobs is ready to go. What happens after that is anyone's guess. Could be Jacobs/Maric, Jacobs/McKernan, or Maric/McKernan, though my money would be on Jacobs/Maric.
