Good question personally i have Pendlebury but there is a lot of hype around Mitchell. Boyd will pull big scores i had him in my team at one point he might come back in yet. Stanton is a ball magnet but can stuggle with a tag although he is probably 3rd in line to get tagged behind Watson and even Prismall.
Malceski + O'Keefe + Gray
OR
Kelly + Higgins + Dangerfield
tough choice. I would look at it this way:
option 1
- ROK is very reliable and should have a similar season to last around the 95 mark
- Malceski as shown the ability to avg high 80's, have a good pre season but does have consistency and injury problems - I would say an average of 80 would be about right (could be higher or lower)
- Gray was all the rage a month ago but the talk has gone a bit quiet - I would say could average anywhere between 70 and 85 at the highest with more midfield time
option 2
- kelly I can't see averaging more then about 85, should be between 80-85 but his role in the team I'm not to sure about re whether he will be more in the middle where the big guns might take points away from him or down back where he picks up some cheap stats
- higgins is a risk in my opinion. He has been in and out of my team. His potential is huge but is very injury prone and I think he is slightly overpriced for the risk involved... but could be one of the highest scoring fwds this year if plays 20+ games
- Dangerfield is an absolute gun. Will have increased midfield time this season and is priced very well for a mid priced player. Could very easily average 80 (some small injury problems but if he is up and going round 1 will be hard to ignore)
I would say take option 1 for the reliability of ROK and maybe downgrade Gray to Dangerfield and use the cash somewhere else to upgrade another player (not sure what the rest of your team is like)

Didn't see a question to answer, blue_boys...
Regarding my 2nd ruckman, I have a ton of guys to choose from. I know it’s more than 2 or 3, but all of these are viable 2nd rucks. Who would you choose out of:
Brad Ottens ($239,000)
David Hille ($237,300)
Nic Naitinui ($232,400)
Mark Seaby ($226,700)
Matthew Leuenberger ($202,100)
Ben McEvoy ($194,100)

Hope that helps
Hille - could be a fantastic pick up, we know he has the potential to score well. but is coming back from an ACL. he did score 65 in the challenge match against the Dees though
NicNat - is a freak, gets hit outs and tackles a lot. big problem will be the amount of time he spends in the ruck. if he's not on the ball he struggles to get points
Seaby - has looked pretty good for the swans so far and appears to have the main ruck roll ahead of Mumford. averaged 62 in his two preseason matches so far
forget about Leuey McEvoy and Ottens

Can't say I agree about just writing Leuey off. Highly rated draft pick going into his 4th year now, was expected to play AFL quite early due to a reasonably developed body but injuries have obviously crippled him. Has one of the best tanks at the Lions from memory too which is a big thing.
Charman has been ruled out for at least 8 weeks now, so Leuey will be playing providing he isn't injured.
Durability is obviously the biggest issue here, but he reportedly hasn't missed a session all summer so there is definitely potential for reward here. I can't say I'd recommend him, but he is worth keeping an eye on.

Just a quick one wanted the thoughts of either taking Jack Ziebell or Chris Masten, there is only about 15,000 difference cheers
ok so two midfield options.. thoughts?
bartel, mitchell, mcveigh, conners, barlow, martin
vs
mitchell, ball, masten, mcveigh, barlow, martin.

why not both? one in the fwd one in the mids
Bartell + K.Cornes + Hall + Dangerfield (2 rookies in midfield)
or
Boyd + Trengrove + Higgins + Pavlich (3 rookies in midfield and 6 premiums up forward)

Bartell + K.Cornes + Hall + Dangerfield for mine, not convinced with Trengrove and Higgins. IMO 3 rookie in the mid could also backfire despite all the hype, plenty of cash if you pick the right 4 rookies in the mids.
6 premium forwards is probably too much, quite a few value mid prices in there too.
Hope that helps
Clarke and Ballantyne vs Natanui and O'keefe?
Based on the fact that O'Keefe is going to be spending more time in the midfield this season (as compared to the entire last season) he is underpriced.
Clark is unpredictable at this stage since there will be another ruckman (or 2) playing with him, where he will play exactly is unknown.
I would rate Ballantyne and Natanui similarly - they should both increase by up to 100k.
based on Clark's unpredictability I would go for O'Keefe and Natanui. This also allows room for upgrade in the rucks (which is a good thing - I'm assuming you have another premium in the rucks).

Ziebell
Masten might get the ball more but ziebell has more marks per game and a higher kick to handball ratio. Give it time and Ziebell will be getting roughly same amount of disposals as masten, but he will prob be averaging a higher score due to more marks and kicks.
Bartel.
Has more upside in my opinion... Ablett is full priced in my opinion and will drop 40-50k. Yes, he is Ablett but he has had some niggling injuries over the past few years which discourage me a bit. Bartel has consistency written all over him therefore a superior choice and saves you money!
Mine is killing me!
Carazzo + Luke Ball
OR
Goddard + Masten

Im not sure about Carazzo. Has the potential to be a great DT'er but there is question marks over his role. Saying that i have a feeling that Goddard will cop a tag this year.
Masten and Ball have both been in and out of my team though!

Covvy - I think Birchall is a solid contributor but he won't be in the top 7 scoring backs. Do you want to take a player that may need an upgrade come seasons end? I doubt he can average over 70-75.
Harbrow is a decent option as he is coming into his 4th year, the dogs are on the up and they seem to look for him to run and carry the ball out of defence meaning a lot of kicks and marks from switching the play. Question marks if he can push to an 80+ average though.
I think I'd take Harbrow as he should average similar to last year in the low 70's but has more potential to lift his scoring.
My current side has 180k in the bank.
I am happy with my set up and im considering upgrading Mitchell and Bartel to Swan and Ablett. Is that unwise considering they will drop in price or does it not matter as i will not need to use two trades later to bring these guys in?

I think if you have a team you're happy with that includes Swan & Ablett you're laughing. Take the two nearly untagable guaranteed guns and laugh all the way to the bank.
