Neither. At that price surely a Sylvia, Scotland or Rioli is a better choice.

Captaincy is key.
Deciding between a few groups of players:
Monty v Pendles v Hayes
Murphy v Mitchell
Rioli v Higgins v McGlynn
Deledio v Scotland
Duffman v Broughton v Fisher v Grimes
Didak v Sylvia
Swallow v Thompson S
Don't have to answer them all, just some would be nice, take a tab and get to work! I've tried to make them similar in price. I can afford all but can't get them all.

Yeah. What I said.

Both, in essence this is an odd question because one's a defender and one's a mid/forward. If you have to choose, I choose Kraks due to JS and DP but I haven't seen the CG play. Personally it might be a choice between Faulks and Coad and the other three spots taken up by Puopolo, Hibberd, Howard, Duigan etc.
@ Engimal It's the norths' Swallow. We have differing opinions on Mitchell v Murphy, so I'll then put it as this: Pendles v Murphy v Mitchell v Andrew Swallow?
I'm also getting conflicting opinions on Rioli v Higgins and Broughton v Grimes. What's the reasoning behind these thoughts?
Remember that I have Swan, Gibbs (down back) and Anthony. Does this impact on your judgment?

Senior List
Duffield v Broughton? Third year for Broughton and he looked good in the NAB cup, and Duffield can be tagged every now and then. Had Duffield last year and he didn't let me down too often.
Had Duffman before going to yesterdays games as he has been Mr. Consistant but he played a more defensive role yesterday whereas Broughton played the QB role more.
I also think Broughton will take more marks due to better positioning so he's my pick for now.
Sidebottom v Sewell??

Team Captain
Broughton, I had him from the start for the last two years, last year kept the faith when he got injured and left him on the pine, come back and avergaged 91, hes a gun, and will spend time on ball this year.
OK... Here's mine cant split them.
Montagna and Pavlich
Or
Bartel and Didak?

Real tough, i see Bartel and Montagna avg about what they did last year and i reckon Dids can improve slightly.
Surely the byes will determine who you pick with these players and what other players you have for these rounds in your team
eg: Montagna R4 bye
Pavlich R6 bye
Didak (Swan, Pendles, Krakouer ect)
Bartel R6 (SJ, Chappy)
round 4 will be interesting
I gave Sewell a moment of consideration myself, but I think I'll stay away from him. In the past four years he has averaged 100+ only once, which could suggest that 2009 was an anomaly for him and not the rule. IMO, a false perception of value makes him look a brighter prospect than he actually is. Hasn't played 20+ games for the past three seasons.
Sidebottom is obviously a gun player and natural improvement could see him average 90+ this year. Would be more attractive if there was an injury to a key mid.
I'd go Sidebottom over Sewell, but surely you also have Swan? And what if Pendles is one of the highest-averaging mids too? Then you'll perhaps want to trade him in as well. From a team structure POV, it would seem best not to have Sidey unless you can see him averaging 100+
S Selwood vs J Sherman
Anyone see either of these guys becoming a keeper? I wish they were DP.

I've got $388k left and narrowed it down to either picking Blues Scotland or Kangaroos Brady Rawlings.
They are both ball magnets and I haven't got another kangaroo or blues player in my starting defence.
Thoughts ?

Hey mate I am some what suspect of Scotland's role this year at the Blues. He has some competition there in the way of Laidler and Duigan and he also stepped away from the leadership group which may mean he will only be used in bits and pieces this year. Always be wary of players past 30
Rawlings is a risk, ineresting to see what happens with Anthony back in the team.
Here is one
Murphy v Anthony + 70k

Senior List
Stuck on this...
Adcock + Jolly vs. Petrie (fwd line) + Sandi
EDIT - Cox is my other ruck
@WenInRome - I'd go Anthony, he's cheaper and will score around the same, plus you wouldn't want to be missing Murphy in a prelim too.

Ok so this year i am doing my best to throw my favoritism for swans players out the window, only have one in my midfield. Thoughts on the following 3 players?
JACK, Kieren
$376,000
2010 average was 90.5, this year he should become a 100 PPG player if he can handle a tag. There is even a chance he could break into the top10 if his form continues to improve.
Or
HANNEBERY, Daniel
$334,400
2010 average was 80.5 and could quite easily become a 90-95+ player i reckon.
Or
KENNEDY, Josh
$306,200
2010 Average was 73.7 but with kirky gone and a very impressive pre-season, he is going to get a lot more of the pill in the packs, has the potential to increase in value the most!
I have 110k spare in the bank which i am looking to shove into my forward line, so i'm not sure which strategy to take.
Cheers.

I'm having the same dilemma. I think all 3 could increase their output, but for mine I think you have to go with Jack at that price. I know some people, with the extra trades, won't mind using one if a mid-pricer doesn't reach keeper status, but I am probably going to go for Jack purely because he is the only one out of the three that could reach top 10-15 in the midfield and will save a precious trade.
That said, Hanneberry is going into his third year, won't be at the top of the tagging list (because Jack is), and Kennedy will probably play a very inside game like Kirk did.
On a side note, can people start using this thread properly? Don't post a player X vs player Y unless you are answering someone else's post.
I think Cox looked too good to resist the other night!! Would go with him at this stage.
M.Murphy + S.Mckernan
or
S.Burgoyne + A.Otten
Thoughts?
=/ sorry...
Yeah i think i have to agree and just go for Jack, he showed that he has the capability to tag and beat elite players.

Have you ever heard of a ruckman tagging his opponent? Cox showed exactly what he needed to, that he was mobile.
Sandilands scores from hitouts, Cox scores come from that mark and disposal as his team mates use him as a get out option. If Cox can run, he'll score and it looked like he was up and about.
The next game will be the key for me, if he's rested then I'd worry that he pulled up a bit sore. He has been quoted as saying he's having his best preseason in years, but that's what they all say.
I'm currently stuck choosing whether Petrie is worthwhile purely as a forward field player, but alongside A. Krak and Shaun Higgins it feels too risky.
Higgins the midfielder vs Higgins the Forward?
So what that was a trick question or something? Doesn't matter who he was rucking against, you could tell by the way he was moving around like a midfielder once again that he is in for a big year, I had heard that he was flying this pre season but Sunday night just proved it to me regardless of who he was playing on. He has been a proven premium for years on end and despite having an average year last year he was clearly hindered by injury yet still managed to play all games and average 85, clearly undervalued this year and an absolute lock for my side. That is my opinion anyway, happy with that?

No never heard of it.
Cox played against Grimley and played well, I would like to see how he goes against a ruckmen that isnt rated about 4-5th at his club. That would be good.
What does everybody think about:
Sidebottom V Greenwood
I've got the cash for one of them, and think they'll both have great years. I'm probably leaning towards Sidebottom at the moment, but Greenwood being a DPP is pretty tempting...

I dont think Greenwood is DPP, if he was id be picking him as a forward or back whatever he was.
Sidebottom is a good pick IMO, can see him maybe avg 100+ next year if all goes to plan. Remember collingwood are the dominant side and the dominant sides continue to produce 100+ scorers. Just cant have to many Collingwood players.
