Player Comparison Thread - Part 3

[Dr Awkward]

Danyle Pearce (MID) + Steve Johnson (FWD)

Or

Joel Selwood (MID) + Dale Thomas (FWD)

Selwood and Thomas for sure.

 

[mightymagpie1999]

Selwood and Thomas for sure.

Yeah im thinking that...

i think thomas is ready for a big year especially if hes pushed up the grounda bit more....and selwood...well hes just a jet!

 

[xellis]

Which midfield would you Choose

1) Gary Ablett Jnr, Scott Thompson, Daniel Cross, Joel Selwood, Paul Haselby
2)Gary Ablett Jnr, Scott Thompson Daniel Cross, Daniel Kerr, Danyle Pearce
3)Gary Ablett Jnr, Scott Thompson, Daniel Cross, Nathan Foley, Danyle Pearce

I'd go 1.
Kerr not for DT, Pearce is a nice selection but i just don't like him

 

[thesmallprint]

Swan + Enright
Thompson + Enright
Ablett + Adcock

? I'm leaning towards Swan + Enright as I think Dalziell has taken Adcock's old role.

 

[stewpyd2]

Im not really sold on lucas. He might go up a bit but he wont be in my side for long. Hence I wanted to upgrade him as I already have higgins, skipworth and ziebell or another rookie playing in my forward line.

I was thinking someone like Gia or steve johnson but then I would have to downgrade Rich in my midfield to L Anthony. I am only a tiny bit short on cash from being able to keep rich. Alternatively I could go for a forward around the 370-380 mark like Leon Davis or someone cheaper like Dale Thomas. Thoughts?

 

[thesmallprint]

I rate Gia as he hasn't missed a game in the last two years and could improve a bit again this year.

 

[Hodges]

Buddy vs S Johnson

This old chestnut again. SJ was the most consistent forward last year, so he's good to have from the start. Also means you can pick him up a bit cheaper as the year goes on. Ive now seen a couple of articles about Buddy being Richo MkII, so this midfield thing is a definite possibility. Could bump his average past 100.

 

[Notorious_29]

this is killing me

Bartel and Sandilands (110 and 85-100)

or

Gibbs and Cox (90-100 and 95-105)

 

[warney7]

Tough choice. Depends on your 2nd ruckman but I'd lean towards option 2 with Cox being much more consistent and even a captain candidate, while Bartel could drop in price with a slow start.

 

[Piikeyyy]

Which Midfield?

Ablett, Kornes, Dalziell, J Selwood, Mackay, Anthony
vs
Kornes, S Tuck, J Selwood, Gibbs, Wells, Anthony

 

[warney7]

Dalziell - Big price for a 7 game player

Anthony - risky choice

Ablett - Will score, but is he worth his price?

If I had to choose, I'd go with option 2.

Undurable Backline + Better cover for rucks v Durable backman + Worse cover for the rucks

 

[warney7]

This year, IMO, it's very easy to select your ruckman. There are 3 to 4 rookie ruckmen who could get a game starting this week.

Plus ruckmen are durable

In 2008, Cox played 22/22, Hille played 20/22, Sandilands played 22/22, Petrie played 22/22

Make sure you have a durable backline!

 

[GPW1]

gram v adcock???

will gram be playing more midfield as has been suggested?

 

[thesmallprint]

Probably Gram but at that price you could move up to a keeper.

Shane Tuck vs. Sam Mitchell.

Pretty confident Mitchell will average 95ish but Tuck dominated last year and could average 100. I really can't decide.

Will Cousins affect Tuck's role?

Durable.

Depends on the players though.. Hard to say.

Well Buddy is clearly the better player and likely to score a fair bit more than SJ IMO but he's about 30k more expensive. I would be avoiding S. Johnson this year, I think he may have peaked in 08 in terms of DT.

 

[Quazza]

Kerr and Hodge
or
Ablett and yet to be determined 270k or less defender

Ablett and Houlihan?

Or Swan + Houlihan + 60K?

 

[Quazza]

Yeah see, that's the problem-already have Houlihan in my Def

 

[favourites]

Ablett Houlihan. Easy!

Deledio and Goodwin.

VS

Chapman and Didak

 

[Quazza]

Ablett Houlihan. Easy!

like i said already have Hoops (and Firrito) at around that price. Anyone else of value around that? I haven't seen anyone

 

[afl16]

if you haven't got rains or hill, probs the best options

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Mayne, Suban or Petrenko

Ignore price, I need to know who will average more.
