Any reason why u'd choose these two?
Mostly personal preference but I'll attempt to give you some backing --
Pavlich over Murphy:
- pav is freo's main (tall) forward option and sometimes plays midfield, also proven scorer. i've heard rumours
he'll play predominantly fwd this yr after spending a lot of 09 in mid, but still i'd choose him.
- murphy is coming off a knee injury (maybe that was 08), and dogs have other good fwds like brad johnson,
hahn and now big bad to direct ball to.
Fisher over Gilbert, Cornes:
- firstly, cornes is quite injury prone and often plays key defense position, say on fevola when they played carlton in 09
- gilbert was a fair bit cheaper than fisher in 09, but then had a ripper yr and is now more expensive. i'm unsure
about his ability to keep up his consistent 09 average (89), which if he fails will fall in price. also sometimes gilbert
is asked to nullify dangerous small fwds.
- fisher, although he plays mostly in def, gets lots of ball because saints direct traffic through him and he is usually
the loose man in def. also rather consistent, and not very injury prone. takes lots of marks. (uncont marks are worth
the same as cont marks)

LeCras... even if he doesn't push into midfield as was being predicted towards the end of last year, he is developing into a great small forward and scored very well in that position last season. Lynch playing more regularly at full-forward should also offer a lot more dropped marks and therefore goals for LeCras as a small forward.
Robbie Gray on the other hand... well he plays for Port Adelaide and they're a club in the slide. I personally won't be touching *any* of their players (except possibly Jackson Trengrove as one of the only <$100,000 defenders likely to get game-time this season).
Who's the better value...
D. Cross (420.9K)
R. O'Keefe (425.4K)
J. Selwood (453.4K)
My current selection is Cross, because I can't decide whether Selwood is going to ramp it up yet again or going to be hindered by his increasing reputation. Not sure if O'Keefe has the consistency to match latter half of last season and justify his price.
For me, im going for Selwood, he's got that reputation for a reason, he's a gun. He'll continue to improve another 5ppg im tipping and a good captain option aswell.
Midfield midpricers.
Best 2 of. Dalziell v Ward v Swift v Mackay v Armitage
add mastern to the mix and this question is gonna be thrown around a hell of alot before the season. I dont think it can be answered until weve seen them all play a few games in the NAB. Just finished talking about swift in another thread and apparantly hasnt been named in the NAB squad for the eagles which is strange!
My gut feel is Dalziel based on scoring potential and if he can stay fit. I like him on subiaco as well. But like i said just a gut feel. Armitage could be solid as well and is playing for a much better team at this point in time!
Its interesting i vertually havent heard anyone mention Rich at all this season...
Rich vs Dalzeil?

FFS people, it's not hard to answer the one above you before asking your own.
Rich is an interesting one. Most second-year players stagnate as they start to become more noticeable to opposition coaches and get more attention. But Rich was being tagged in his first year, so that factor is reduced somewhat.
He could certainly be a very good selection, and unique amongst people who are a chance of top 10,000 (don't underestimate how many people will pick last year's players).
Having said that, Dalziell appears to be the safer option. He's heading for a third year breakout, is on a ground that suits him now, and has a proven scoring record.
On the other hand, his role and his spot in the 22 are less certain at West Coast than they were at Brisbane.
In summary, Dalziell is the safer option, but Rich is more unique and neither is a standout from the other. Pick one depending on the amount of risk in the rest of your team.
I'll try again: Bernie Vince or Brent Prismall: Both look set to increase their averages, but who will increase it by more?

I like Vince here. Job Security wont be an issue for either of them. Both are great young players. I think Vince will be more likley to improve more so than Prismall based on the team he is in. Adelaide will be pushing for finals and expecting to do well. They are a young exciting team who should really improve this year alot. I think essendon are still a few seasons behind where adelaide are. I watched Vince alot last year in finals and he is Dam impressive and i think will benefit from playing in a good team who are a genuine contender. Essendon are young and an up an coming team who could go through up and down patches throughout the year which i think could effect Prismalls scoring. Adelaide will be consistantly good this year, Vince will reap the rewards and be a genuine Dream Team Gun come the end of the 2010 season IMO.

Pendlebury or Selwood.

Can't go wrong here, IMO. Both will improve their averages, and become genuine superpremiums. Try and fit both in, if you can.
Waters or Sheppard?
Too early to call.
Some people have said that Sheppard might not even get a game this year, so i guess he has a few question marks over his head.
Waters is coming back from injury, but is a proven dt gun. So with that in mind and the upside of Waters, i would go with him.
However, definetly keep an eye out over the NAB cub. Its too early to call with these types of players.
Seeing as there is no question from the post above I will ask one
Vince Vs Bartel?
Taking into their prices and their estimated output, which player should I choose?
Vince Vs Bartel?

IMO if LeCras plays forward this year I don't see much improvement in him. He kicked 58 goals last year which is pretty awesome for a small forward. Can he really kick more than that this year? where's his improvement coming from? Gray on the other hand kicked only 30 goals as a small forward and averaged almost as much as LeCras. Port are going to have a youth policy in '10 also which means Gray is guaranteed stacks of midfield time. Gray has to be the winner..
Lynch dropping marks has to be the most inane justification for an increase in DT scoring that I have ever heard.

After much thought I will go with Vince, I see more upside there and he seems to be a big numbers sort of player. Bartel is one of those players that isn't locked into a position and will be moved around the ground, which makes him a less enticing prospect.
Dal Santo vs Boyd vs Pendlebury vs Vince
Vince, Boyd, Pendlebury, Dal Santo in that order
Vince as explained in your previous quote.
Boyd is an excellent premium to have as he offers uniqueness to your team and a multitude of 90-110 scores. He is one player that is regularly overlooked due to the hyped up premiums around his price (i.e Selwood). Never gets tagged as he is often the tagger in most cases.
Pendlebury, apparently has had a good preseason although I don't see him improving on his average as much as others have suggested although I see an average of around 102 for him. Even with Swan in the team, he will usually get the number tag due to his effectiveness of disposal.
Dal Santo, to be honest I have never rated Dal Santo so I can't comment, he will struggle with the tag but with the quality around him that usually isn't a problem. More a supercoach player I think.

Mcveigh because Palmer isn't playing the first few rounds
Hodge as he is expected to be realeased into the midfield I believe.
and Kreuzer just has a big upside could be a good keeper
Arimitage/Mackay/Burgoyne?
Just by reading the last page, I take it it isn't etiquette to answer a question someone else has already asked?
I'd go Armitage - he's younger, slightly cheaper and Burgoyne has had an interupted preseason. Macaky, I think, will struggle to get enough game time, what with Vince, Thompson, VB etc all presumably in front of him as well as the likes of Dangerfield coming into the midfield.
Which two of Franklin, Gray & Higgins?

I would (and will) go Franklin and Higgins as they are obviously more likely to become keepers (certainties I hope). Gray I think should only be picked as 6th or 7th forward when- as many people look to be doing- you are beefing up that area due to lack of cheap options. That way he can become keeper but you are not depending on him to.
Here's an interesting one-
Should I start with 3 rookie mids (probably Trengove, Martin and Shuey) and have my 7th forward as Dangerfield
OR
look to move one of my 5 forward/mids into the midfield (at the expense of Trengove) and start a sub 200k player in my forward line?
In other words is the safety of DP worth sacrificing the more attractive ash cow option? (I do have Chapman)

I think you should start more rookie mids, as the rookies for the other positions are quite slim this year- besides, mids have proven to be the highest gainers throughout the year.

I personally don't like Cooney as a DT player, although a lot of people are putting him in their teams - good luck to them
So that leaves Vince or Thompson. Now I like both these players because they score points in a large variety of ways - both mark, kick goals occasionally and tackle. With 20k difference I can't really split them and suggest going with your gut.
On one hand "natural progression" might give you more value out of Vince, on the other, he may cop the main tag (did he last year? I know Thompson has struggled with taggers in the past but not sure on Vince).
**
My turn (hopefully a tricky one for you):
Selwood (Joel) & Harvey OR Roo & any back Enright or cheaper
Which do you think is better value?
note: option 2 would see me move goddard into the mids, allowing me to swap with whoever i choose out of broadbent/buckley/ladson in the backs
