Position 2015 SuperCoach forwards

[Amazing Bombers]

bringing in my final forward spot (for now...) in a couple weeks
Devon Smith (2%) or Bontempelli (50%), both have the rd 13 bye
I want Smith, but are the bs SC points he's given too good to ignore?

thoughts?

I'd go Devon Smith.

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Scored 78 and then 121 before being dropped last year FWIW

I reckon his time has come now. Particularly with Heeney down, and the mids being a bit down.

Big call to make

I know! Hopefully don't regret it. At just over $400k it's almost unbearable.

Agreed.

I don't think I have much choice but to take the plunge, even though I'm fast running out of trades and need to make safeish calls.

At The price hard to say no to Mitchell.
But my forward line would be will be french vanilla.
Gray,dusty,swan,bonts,tmitch plus all the vanilla rooks.
plain janes.

Same... Then I'll need to pick a pod. Maybe D.Smith to finish it.

 

[stevebbb]

^^^
yep, very common forward line will be
Gray, Bont, Swan, Martin, Mitchell and Franklin/Goddard
Smith and Dahlhaus POD's

 

[rocker_oz33]

Maybe someone like Ryder for ruck cover.

Pick the best players, doesn't matter how "vanilla" they are. You don't get extra points for being a POD.

 

[ManWithNoName]

None of you should pick Devon Smith. They're fluke scores. He'll get found out soon. Also had a bad pre-season so he'll probably miss a few games here and there.

Definitely one to avoid.

I had Dollhouse as a POD for much of last year. In the 2nd half of the year he cost me at least 6 League matches when he was averaging 70's, whilst my league opponents had "vanilla" Parker averaging 110+ POD's can kill your team if/when they spud up, because most other teams obviously don't have that player spudding up their team.

You're saying that to troll right?

You must have him, would be a good POD for those considering.

I reckon everyone should steer clear of Adams.

And Tom Mitchell

And Tom Mitchell

I'm not picking Mitchell.

But you should all pick him and not pick Devon Smith.

 

[MightyMark]

I'm not picking Mitchell.

I'll take the extra 130K and back Mitchell to score as well as Devon.

Has to be in the best 21 now, been in the best 2 straight weeks.

Horses excuse for not playing him up until now has been team balance, which is bullshit, that guy belongs at the top level.

This year:

Mitchell 2 games 119
Gray 117
Bonts 112
Betts 106
Devon 105
Dustin 103
Dahl 103
Pavlich 103
Goddard 102
Swan 101
Bennell 101
Gunstan 98
Schneider 98
Roughy 98
Tarrant 96
McGovern 94
Rioli 93

By my count, that means over half the players you listed from last year havent backed it up this year, and been replaced by different players.

Why is it such a stretch to assume Mitchell could be one.

 

[dmac_55]

Does anyone have an inkling to jump on the budwah this week? Seems eerily similar to last year I jumped on at about 440K last year and he really turned it on for me.. He started slow last year and really fired up and averaged huge from about round 10 onwards.. Is he carrying a niggle as some have rumoured? I have that feeling that jumping on this week against Carlton at the SCG he could kick 5-6 and dominate..

Had him all year, still hasn't gone huge at all, he's definitely due for it.
If I didn't already have him I'd be all over him at that price

Buddy or ziebell? Around same price ziebell with DPP and a very handy bye.. Buddy higher ceiling.. Both have a tendency to miss games via injury or suspension
