I already said that they will probably score about the same anyway so why not go for the one that's going to build up more cash?

Beau Waters or Xavier Clarke??
bloody brilliant
Team Captain
none for me but if i were to pick one it would be waters because X CLarke wont play in the reverse untill about round 7 -9, could be a good down grade target.
dangerfield or polkinghorn?

Cheers mate. Dangerfield for mine. I'm suspecting a breakout year !!
Xavier Ellis or Joel MacDonald?
bloody brilliant

joel Mcdonoald new club new town new look new team. could become very handy. higgins or buddywood?
Because the only way you are able to access the cash is if you sell the player, which you obviously aren't going to do. I think what you are trying to say is that since both players should average roughly the same amount you should go for the one that is cheaper in price. Although, ROK and Sylvia are priced virtually identically.
What if they get injured? U would sell Sylvia for more then u could sell ROK
Daggersworth
Senior List
McPhee for sure. If he does make his mooted move to the midfield he will average 85 ppg at least.
Still uncertainty about where Grundy fits in the Sydney side.
Brock McLean vs Cale Morton
Mclean for mine. In a new team, wont have as much focus on him with Murphy, Judd, Gibbs around him. So should increase his average quite abit. I guess it depends on what role Mclean will take, but i think he would be a better option than Morton.
Sylvia vs Goodes (i pretty much know the answer, but would like others thoughts on this as well).
very easy answer goodes is a gun & sylvia well he is colin sylvia and one of these players that will tease you to leave you dry.
goodes all the way
swift v cale morton
Obviously there is a significant difference in price between the two. Swift is x-factor... will be a great scorer for your team but he comes with injury!
Cale Morton we all know has a great dt game and looks the goods this year... I am going to try and upgrade Dalziell to him if Dalziell's role at WC is a run-with, defensive tagger. I would go Cale on this one but I would also look at Luke Ball and Brock McLean too as goodies
Mine is a ruck combo question
Sandilands + Mumford vs. Tippett + Kreuzer
At the moment I think I'm leaning more to the first

I'm with you on the first duo. Sandilands is a monster and will always score decent with the amount of hitouts he will get, and Mumford is up and about, and will get games at the Swans.
Kreuzer is still a good selection (Warnock will be in and out of the Carlton side I reckon) but still not sure about Tippett. Will Moran, Sellar or Maric be taking Tippett out of the ruck, and is he their go-to man when they go forward?
Ashley McGrath vs Joel McDonald.

I will say McGrath. He is one of the few players in the Lions back 6 that can run the ball forward, he kicks a fair bit and gets up the ground into the middle to help keep the ball moving, as well as being able to kick a goal or two. He is also a great kick into our forward 50. He has been reborn in the back line this year after starting forward and having a shocking game at skilled v the cats. After that game he turned the corner and had a ripping 2nd half of the year, where he put himself as one of our most important rebounding defenders.
Jmac i expect will do well, but i think building from last season, Ash is in career best form and should continue into this year. Averaged nearly 79 in the last 12 games.

At the moment i'd say it's pretty much impossible to make a call on these lower end players until the NAB cup. All have upside. Henderson is the only one that isn't really on my radar, as young key position players are generally no good for DT.
Buckley has shown some DT form in the past. From what I gather he's in great nick but no guarantee for best 22.
Suban / Selwood are in the same category - potential move from the backline to the midfield. I'm not convinced either will permanently move. I think there are too many ahead of them. Selwood has been reported to be training well. No idea about Suban. Their DT outputs will be directly correlated to where they play.
Broadbent I quite like. Port's midfield is pretty shot at the moment, so you think he'd be given every chance. The mail is he'll be given every chance in the middle.
So in summary - I don't really like Henderson but that may change.
Selwood / Suban will probably play most games this year, but i'm unsure about their output.
Buckley / Broadbent will likely score well if they play. Given port's average midfield, Broadbent is my pick of these at the moment. Plenty will change in the NAB cup.

Yeah thought so. I was leaning towards Goodes as well.
Thanks mate
Goodes is a gun but he only averaged 80 in Dream Team in 2008, and a role change in 2010 might see a return to those numbers. I have no doubt Sylvia will average more than Goodes in 2010, the only question mark I have with Sylvia is his ability to play 22 games.
McPhee for mine, unless you have any mail on Grundy.
It's been reported that he moved to Fremantle specifically to play in the midfield. McPhee has averaged 89 over a season before, which I believe was playing through the middle. When in doubt, choose the midfielder.

Veszpremi I think will be a better option as he has the body ready made for AFL should be a good scorer this year. Boak will continue his form from last season and outscore Swallow IMO and Birchall over Ellis as durability is a major factor.
Rioli vs Gray vs Knights
Rioli vs Gray vs Knights

thats a hard one mate
personally i think rioli is the one out of those three
while i dont think he will be making a move to the midfield permanently, i do think he'll have stints there and score well
gray is another that could score well with his move to the mids but rioli is in an up and coming team wherease port wont perform too well this year
knights is one iv looked at that past 3 years
he burnt me bad at the beginning of last season and then continued to be fairly average for a 'midfielder'
he has the potential to score well especially in an improving adelaide outfit, i just think he is priced too high
he has also had hammy problems in the past, plus i dont think he will be moved back to the midfield contrary to some rumours
I have picked Rioli, expecting a lift from the Hawks this year (isn't everyone?) and this should help his numbers plus being in the midfield more. Gray and Knights have had more injury concerns in the past than he as well. Although Knights is a bloody champion moving to the forward line so well when the Crows were dying for a small forward. Still I can't see his numbers improving really.
Mine's a difficult one,
The flexibility of this combination: Henderson (B/F) + Broughton/Doughty/Chornes (the latter two B/C)
Or the perhaps more reliable scoring, job security and durability of Rance + Fisher.
Of course I could swap Fisher for anyone lower like Kelly, Adcock, Shaw etc but I believe there's job security/injury/consistency concerns with those guys.
At the moment I've gone Rance + Fisher hoping Fisher can return to 08 numbers. Henderson could (should?) replace Fev as FF so that should mean a lift to 75-80 avg (3rd season rule as well!!). With Chornes and Doughty, obviously there's the age factor although Dogga had his best season last year. Is Chornes past it or will the return to CHB rejuvenate him (clearly running through the midfield was tough on his body).
With Broughton my concern is that not have much upside at all. If Freo have fewer injuries this year (they have to right?) then he may not get as much possession, both because the ball won't be in their backline as often and there will be more quality players around him to win the pill.
An interesting comparison to Robert Harvey's numbers...both averaged 87 in their first year. Harvs then went to 82 in 2nd year and maintained a level round that for before ramping it up after about 3 or 4 seasons (when most players lift).

I have gone with both Gray and Rioli, however if I had to pick one it would be Gray. He will be given every oppurtunity in a developing Port side for a midfield role, and has shown he is capable of snagging a couple of goals too. I think you could expect a 85-90 average from him, while I don't think Rioli will improve much. However Rioli could also easily average the same as Gray, which is why I have gone with both. Knights will still be a very key component of our fowardline, so I couldn't see his scoring improving a hell of a lot, but definetley one to keep your eye on through the NAB cup.
Now Mclean vs Hodge and Sylvia vs Pavlich?
With Sylvia I am looking for a unique pick, but I want to see people's thoughts.
