Any reason why you think Shaw won't be top 8 on average?

Can't see Pittard keeping it up. TMac I'm still not sold on, he's done this before.
Rance and McGov I earmarked for breakouts but went with Newnes and Gibson instead at the last minute
The moral of the story; back yourself with defense. Year after year we appear to say the same thing. There aren't many year in year out premos down back that consistently perform. Shaw would probably be one of the few exceptions.
I did pick a few bad choices in my initial teams(before round 1) , but I had Mcgovern, Docherty and no Newnes in a few as well.Can't see Pittard keeping it up. TMac I'm still not sold on, he's done this before.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
Anyone else have Taylor Hunt? Started well but seems to be falling away. BE is 110 this week.
Time to ditch him?
Time to ditch him?
Not as in multiple team id's but as in initial team planning before the season. Had Mcgovern, Docherty and Swan and got rid of them prior to Round 1 for some reason.
Does anyone actually think Tom McDonald can keep his current avg throughout the year?

No reason to say he wont.
Im dubious, but thats more because he has just come from no where. But he is playing well, and unless opposition teams start to pay more attention to him, he should continue to play without too much restraint.

I think he can average 100.

I don't think any defender will be averaging 112+ at the end of the year.
Cheers for the reply lads.
Bit iffy with key defenders, I'm liking Birchall/Pittard more.
Only really have faith in Heath Shaw right now, and he's been known to miss a few games as well.
If Frawley & Lake can get regular games, I would expect Gibson to be top 6 by seasons end.. More than capable of breaking 100 most weeks if he isn't playing on #1 or #2 forward...
hope so on gibson. i have him, was just thinking it could be wishfull thinking

The thing with McDonald is that he doesn't need to keep up his current average to be worth getting at his current price - Even if his average dropped from his current 112 down to 95 or so, he'd still be worth getting on at $475k, and because of the scores he's been putting up, he won't be that cheap again for a while.
lowest score of the year of 95.
always a good sign when a players lowest score for the year would be an average you'd accept.
Who do you guys reckon is the better pick or will average more from here Doc or the Pitts?

Here's the concern I have with selecting KPD's;
Hooker averaged ~102 for those first 8 rounds, only to fall away and only average 79 for the whole year.
Say you traded him in after rd 8 & paid 472k, you would have only got an ave of 66 for the remainder of the year.
Not saying it will follow this same course this year for any of the KPD's, just that it makes me wary.
But, each to their own.

Harry Taylor been good so far this season.
L.Dunn was one of the highest priced backman last season.

For this very reason I've never had a KP defender in my SC team. Even though they can also be up and down I'd rather take my chances on play makers who rack up high possession numbers & generally very good D/E like Shaw, Simpson, Hodge, Birchall, Bob Murphy, Brodie Smith type of Defs.
