What are you basing that on? Lucas is old and coming back from a serious injury - has looked terrible so far. Sylvia is coming of a career season, is a number 3 draft pick and just completed his first full pre-season.
I would expect Lucas to score ~50-70, Sylvia 85+.

Could not disagree with you more.
A) Sylvia will probably average more than 80 as well. Has been in the system for a while, showing gradual improvement most years, and had a good year last year. Was better than he's been in the past over most of the year, and finished it brilliantly with an average of 93.5 over the last 7 rounds. According to the Prospectus most players peak in their 6th or 7th year, I can't remember which it was but I can remember that Sylvia was one of the listed players.
B) Lucas is an ageing key forward who hasn't played a good game since 2007 and missed most of last year through injury. Plus he's playing in a structure which could now include Lloyd, Gumby and Neagle stealing points off of him. Plus he hasn't looked good in the NAB cup. Plus after Lloyd reinventing himself as a roaming forward last year, Lucas will probably be pushed closer to goal and his scores will suffer because of that. Plus he's a big injury risk at his age and after the year he's come back from.
The way I see it, Sylvia will average 85+ and Lucas will average 70 at best, and that's only if he's very very lucky. Lucas's case seems very similar to Tredrea's to me.
There is no way lucas will average more than sylvia IMO (unless sylvia gets a LTI in first 5mins of round one or something of the like).
Its a bit stupid to pick a player on the assumption that two KPs in that team will go down. Even then, lucas just doesnt look fit at the moment. He will go well in the second half of the year once he gets up and running IMO, but early he will struggle. And to beat sylvia???? that will require an increase of about 35-40ppg on his price, which is quite unlikely IMO.
Lucas is favourite player in the competition, and i can assure you he is not finished as a footballer.
but his full-forward role is a concern though. he'll miss out on those 10-15 mark, 20+ possession games, 0 goals, but still score 100+pts. but i've got him down for 50+ goals in 09'... even if we finish 16th. i'm thinking Bradshaw 08.

I'm also having second thoughts about Lucas, and ergo was leaning towards the Sylvia option. If I do go down the Sylvia path, the only other dilemma is Fisher + Hasleby v Enright + Tuck
I guess it really comes down to what I am looking for from Hasleby/Tuck. I feel that Hasleby has the potential to become a season long keeper that Tuck lacks (due to Tuck's position at the Hawks) although I feel that Tuck will start the season with a bang and appreciate in price, whilst Hasleby is eased back into it.

Maybe your support for Essendon is blurring your judgement a little. Just a thought.

Thoughts on this?
Selwood & Hill + 28k (with Grimes on the field, and Collier on the bench)
or
Tuck & Malceski (with Grimes on the field, and Collier on the bench)
The money won't really go towards anything significant.

Tuck and Malceski, Hill is way too risky he might not even get games.
For my team:
Andrew Mackie and Daniel Cross
or
Luke Hodge and Chris Judd/Bryce Gibbs
Also in my forward line
Ziebell vs Hentschel.
Can't go past Luke Hodge and Judd/Gibbs. Whilst Cross is Mr. Consistant, this combination will score more on a consistent basis compared to both Mackie and Cross together.
Personally i've got Ziebell, he's slightly cheaper and whilst he may not yet be guaranteed a game i feel more confident in playing him than Hentschel, who i fear may break down with injury again come sometime mid-season. Also i believe he has the potential to pull in some decent scores too and sustain a decent average to appreciate in price a fair bit. I just hope Laidley plays him!
Brennan injured tonight in Cairns vs Melbourne. Doesn't mean you should pick Fev thoughBoak/Mcveigh + T. Tuck
vs
Pendlebury + Haselby
The only othe decision to make is Fevola vs Brennan!
Atm ive gone with Brennan but unsure.

1 of those two. I'm thinking about Hentschel too. Not sure though.
