SC Forwards Discussion Thread

[MightyMark]

I think McKernan kicked another 3 yesterday against the blues. Looks likely to get a spot.

Cheers Catfan, that helps put my mind at ease. For the meantime anyway

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Yarran is coming under serious consideration now. BOG yesterday with ~25 possessions and looks to be well suited to this HB role. The plan seems to be to get the ball in his hands at all costs and his disposal is absolutely top notch. Think he could be an interesting point of difference.

 

[SimplySublime]

Yarran would be nice if I didn't already have Warnock & Gibbs, -3 for a bye would kill me.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I've got Murphy and Gibbs...just need to have some cover on the bench.

 

[SimplySublime]

Ah, I thought we had one of the multi-team bye rounds.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Not sure to be honest...I need to check that.

Came on here to ask the same question. I'm going the GnR route, but whichever way I work it, I have to put one mid pricer in somewhere. I'm thinking Yarran. If he continues to play that half back role, his scoring could increase significantly, to either keeper material, or nice cash cow/upgrade.

Yarran - FWD
Gibbs - BACK
Warnock - RUCK

You're fine.

Struggling between Goodes and Rioli, thoughts appreciated.
I read that Davis will be played down back for the Pies this year. Could be good value for 337k.

Rioli could be anything this year, very exciting.

 

[SimplySublime]

Yeah, it's fine cause we don't have multiteam bye rounds. If it were Carlton + team, it'd make things tougher cause you're guarenteed more than 3 outs.

Now the decision..

Dangerfield or Yarran?

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Yarran - FWD
Gibbs - BACK
Warnock - RUCK

You're fine.

I would never recommend those 3 players from Carlton.

On your theory though the fact they play different positions means absolutely nothing.

Sure you will most likely have cover, but if the 3 players are worth 500k each that $1.5 mil out of $10 mil on your bench. That's just ridiculous.

What's with the influx of Carlton supporters?

With your question, Dangerfield managed to average 7 more ppg last year compared to the year prior. For him to be a keeper he needs to improve further by at least 25-30 ppg. That's a fair risk there.

Same could be said for Yarran.

Pez you'd have a really good side if Gibbs was on the bench? Actually I just re read your post those 3 players are about 1 mill. together.... Unless you use a trade to decrease the amount of cash sitting on the bench at any period of the season it will happen no matter what. Especially this season.

What about Gibbs on the bench?

DOn't worry about those three players. I'm talking about having 3 premiums from the same side if they have a bye. It's fairly simple to avoid so I'm not sure why so many people are doing it.

All I ask is why anyone would want 3 players of $1.5 mil sitting on their bench?

After the major teams have had both their byes that's when you start bringing in premiums that will have no byes left.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Round 6 will be bad if you've got Mzungu in the mids as coverage.

Fair point guru walesy.... but SC gave us all 3 extra subs this year for this reason....... Which I'm sure most of us will bitch about throughout the season.

I understand that pez I'm not trying to pot you. You commented on Gibbs,yarran and warnock. You can't say yarran, warnock are premiums can you? And I already know answer. I know what you were trying to say regarding 3 players x 500k on the pine. But it's going to happen a lot !

Goddard, reiwoldt (locks) @ 1.2 million + mid price player injured/suspended for a week is the same thing isn't it?

Yeah, it most likely would be. You don't go into a season knowing someone will be suspended a certain week though. From the get go, you should be trying to avoid having premiums missing.

I think Warnock is a terrible choice, whilst Yarran is a fair risk. He needs to average 90 plus to be worth picking up.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Now that Callinan has gone, it's thrown a bit of a spanner in the works for my team. I need another forward rookie, suggestions are welcome .

Looking at Shaun Mckernan or John Butcher, what are peoples thoughts on their chances for regular games?

Richardson, Matera, Prestia, Smith, McKernan or Darling would be your best bets for FWD bench spots.

I'm actually backing Richardson to play at my F7, with Prestia, Matera & Smith on my bench.

Haven't ruled out Darling or McKernan however, especially with Tippett going down yesterday.

 

[30RYDER]

Get on Skinner!

 

[Badga]

I haven't payed as much attention to SC this year but are people still considering Petrie? Also what is everyone's thoughts on Veszpremi? Cheers

 

[ThePezDispenser]

People don't like searching, do they?

I don't see what the problem is with having 3 players from 1 team sitting on the bench when they're all from different positions. You're going to have the same problem every single week no matter what team players are from, and worse, people will have 2-3 players from the same position missing the same games during multi byes. Every premium will miss 2 games, it's about evening them out for each position, it has nothing to do with which team they're from.

For example what's the difference in say having Reiwoldt, Montagna and Goddard vs Chapman, Swan & Deledio? In both cases when one player has a bye your best bench player for that position comes on the ground. If you average out the 3 games it really makes no difference unless you're playing for league wins (1 low score and 2 high scores vs 3 average scores).

Read what I wrote in another thread somewhere. Player x v y i think it was.

You have trades that you can use over the year to ensure you have as many premiums playing as possible. Going into the season knowing you will be missing players on a certain week and you do nothing to try and overcome that problem is not a very good game plan.

Like I said in the other thread make the most of the byes, bring in GC and Pies players after rounds 10 and 14 respectively, and try your best to work out a way to ensure you don't have an excessive amount of premiums on your bench for no reason.

That's what I was thinking Ed. I guess with league wins in mind, you'd probably rather the 1 low score over 3 average scores thus providing an even better reason to select from the same team imo. I'd rather assure myself 2/3 competitive games as opposed to relying on the other teams score taking 3 average scores instead.
