Krakouer, Suban and Rich if it's your 6th midfielder but Beams if it's your 7th or 8th.

Brock mclean VS Hayes VS Selwood Vs Kornes
I have to chose two

Now that it's in the right place I'll answer you

I'll start off by knocking out Hayes. Good DT'er but is injury prone and has been scoring pretty much the same numbers for a few years now. I look for value with my picks.

McLean would be a unique pick, but as unique picks go he wouldn't be a bad one when it comes to scoring potential. Averaged 92 in '06, then started getting tagged and dropped right back to 74, then back up a bit to 86 in '08 when he learned to break a tag a bit better. Theoretically should improve his average. But he's very injury prone and hasn't played 1 full season in the five years he's been in the AFL. Not someone I'd trust to keep for the year.

Kornes is an underpriced, consistent, durable DT gun. Pick him and enjoy the results as Josh Carr's addition to the midfield and Port's improvement this year helps him get back to averaging 100+

I'm assuming you mean Joel Selwood, and I rate him very highly. Averaged 100 in the second half of last season, showed he can score well when the Cats aren't with an 118 in the GF, and will get more gametime this season as a result of getting a bit older. Should average 95+ IMO.

So:
1. Kornes
2. Selwood

*Daylight*

3. Hayes
4. McLean

Dalzeill
J.Selwood
S.Tuck
Gibbs

I rate them,

1. Selwood
2. Gibbs
3. Dalziell
4. Tuck

 

[Schulzenfest]

anyone?

Dalziell, Selwood and Gibbs.

Bartel and Selwood

OR

Corey and Kornes


Wells OR Knights OR Kade Simpson

Corey and Kornes, Corey's more consistent than Bartel so Bartel's easier to trade in and Kornes has a lot of upside after a below standard year last year. Selwood obviously has upside as well, but I'd rather have two players who are averaging 100+ so you have two captain options instead of one.

Go Knights from the bottom 3, gets heaps of PPM and will probably get more game time this year, will never get tagged (which puts him ahead of Wells) and has more upside than Simpson. Don't get sucked in by a couple of good NAB games.

 

[AdamG03]

Bartel and Selwood

OR

Corey and Kornes


Wells OR Knights OR Kade Simpson

That is a very interesting matchup. Theyre both great and i can't pick between them. Corey and Kornes will perform for you no doubt but Bartel and Selwood present a better team if all works out for you.

I'm also choosing between Wells, Knights, Simpson or anyone else under 375k

Leaning towards:
1) Simpson
2) Wells
Thoughts?

 

[kangaroos3]

Brent Harvey vs Daniel Giansiracusa vs Stevie Johnson?

ATM I have Harvey but I am thinking of changing to Stevie J..

Thoughts anyone?

I'm finding it very tough to split the 3 of them but at the moment i have Knights, Wells, Simpson and then maybe Boak.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'd go Gia. Hasn't missed a game for two years, is super consistent, and averaged 94 last year from 87 minutes game time (which was a lot less than what he'd been given in previous years) so he has upside as well.

Deenamite, I'd have Boak ahead of Wells and Simpson. Knights would still be my pick though.

 

[srekcarc]

Judd vs K Simpson

 

[Hodges]

Judd. Dont think Simpson will be that reliable, but Juddy should be back to career best form (hopefully).

Franklin vs Dalziell

Originally wasnt going to have Buddy in my starting squad, but after talk of him playing a Richo role found space. I still think he will be able to be picked up cheap at some point, but I just want him in my team (had him every year since debut).

Dalziell has me intrigued though - all the signs point to him continuing to score at the same rate he currently is (as crazy as that is). Would give me a starting midfield of ACD + Gibbs. Could leave the mids well alone until the rest of the side is up to scratch. Is consistent too, so is a good one to have from the start.

Thoughts?

 

[Saint KFC]

I'll start off by knocking out Hayes. Good DT'er but is injury prone and has been scoring pretty much the same numbers for a few years now. I look for value with my picks.

He's not really injury prone. He's had one season ending injurie and a hamstring which kept him out for a couple of weeks, but he's past them now. In fact, I'd say that he has one of the best pain thresholds in the league - how many players do you know that can run out a game after doing an ACL?

I was in a similar position and went with Dalziell. Not many people will pick him imo meaning if he continues his amazing scores, you will have a massive advantage. He is a runner with astonishing endurance capabilities. His disposal isn't very effective meaning that he isn't damaging enough to be tagged. He looks to only go up in price at this point.

Franklin will ultimately go down in price. The last time he versed the first three teams he is up against:

Geelong: 48
Sydney: 111
Kangaroos: 49

But if he scores well against these opponents, there is no doubting that he will have a bad game and eventually full under the 400k mark.

Fair point. I didn't actually check Hayes, I just thought he was injury prone. That's how he's usually viewed in the media. Plus I'm biased because he got injured within a quarter of me picking him up last season. That info shows that he doesn't often miss long periods of time, but he still does seem to be prone to picking up little niggles.

Yeah I agree, Hayes definitely has an unfair stigma of an injury-prone player, when he really isn't. He's as tough as they come.

 

[sdsdsdsd]

Whos most likely to get more games out of

Suban vs Broughton
Yarran vs Ziebell vs MBrown

 

[Hodges]

Not sure on the first, but probably Suban.

Barring injury, Brown will play most games out of that group.

 

[AdamG03]

I'm finding it very tough to split the 3 of them but at the moment i have Knights, Wells, Simpson and then maybe Boak.

I am going with Simpson for now. Had Boak in my original team but with ports midfield, dont know how much he could actually rack up.

Malceski VS Mundy VS a smokie in Leigh Harding?
Note: I already have Adcock and Malceski out of the 3 above.

 

[swans4eva]

My team is looking good but i am little worried now about my backline structure and wondering whether i should downgrade bryce gibbs.
I hav 4 premium mids and 2 premium backs with 3 mid-premium backs and 2 other players(raines, houlihan)

Gibbs+Gram
or
S.Fisher + Foley

 

[kangaroo19]

Enright (4th back) + Knights (5th mid) + J Grant (9th Fwd)
or
Adcock (4th) + Swan (5th mid, well 2nd really) + J Grant (9th)
or
Defenfder<$370k (4th) + Knights (5th) + Ziebell (9th fwd)

Thoughts?

 

[Hodges]

I would probably go for Adcock + Swan. Its better for Adcock to be a keeper in the backs, than Knights in the mids. Wouldnt really go for Grant personally, dont think he will play that much.
