Thoughts on Shane Biggs as a D5?
Ah, damn. Was wondering why no one seemed to be picking him.He isn't listed as a defender. Mid only.
I'd still look to pick him as a midfielder. He and Murph will be our two main hbf's.Ah, damn. Was wondering why no one seemed to be picking him.
Haven't heard anything until you posted this. Doesn't sound good.I heard Steven Trigg on SEN an hour ago say that Andrew Walker is our only injury concern at this stage of pre-season but he might be ready for Rd1. *...I wasn't even aware that he was injured. TheOz do you know anything about this?
Any love for Birchall?
It's a shame, he regularly posted 40+ possession games in the NEAFL and one 50 possession game.He isn't listed as a defender. Mid only.

That's true, it is a pretty weak competition. Tom Mitchell picked up 64 in a game last season but some other games he didn't get more than 15.Massive possessions in NEAFL is not a great indication of SC potential.

Feel getting the backline right will be crucial this year. Made harder by the fact at this admittedly very early stage there doesn't look like there will be a whole lot of decent rookies, would love to field rookies at d5 and d6 but doesn't look likely looking at everyone on offer, can't see too many that would be in the frame for round 1.
Is Scott Thompson on anyone's watch list?
Interested in people's thoughts as to why or why not?
View his ave 98ppg in '13 as an anomaly?
Both Scotty Thompson and Harry Taylor both priced about the same both could be value picks.But you'd only have one if you were going to take on one of these guys.
Read somewhere Harry was seeing a running coach in the pre-season unsure of a role change.But these guys are KPP players and scores will be up and down.
I have to think that he is just as viable a selection as the similarly priced Newnes, McKenzie, Docherty that people seem to be quite happy with.Has a 4yr ave of 87.
If you want someone who is priced at 79 and will probably give you 85-90, which is probably not 'too bad' this year for SC defenders.

What are your thoughts on Roberton? Likely to play? Role in the team? He scored well previously when allowed to play fairly loose and run off half back.
