2015; Player X or Player Y or Player Z

[Flandersss]

keen for some opinions.

(if Hibberd is banned) Simpson vs Kelly
Newnes vs Rampe vs Sutcliffe vs KK
Murphy vs Danger vs Jack vs Wines vs Swallow
Goldy vs Maric
Bartel vs Franklin

Simpson.
KK.
Danger.
Goldy.
Buddy - by a long way.

 

[Flandersss]

Langdon v Pearce

Langdon.

JS is better than Clanceeeeee's

 

[Flandersss]

Yeo v Mayes

Sam Mayes.

 

[Flandersss]

Cripps vs. Ben Newton?

and does anyone think that either Lamb / Krakouer / Lonie is safe enough for a F6 position?

Cripps.

Lonie is IMO, just gotta watch out for sub.

Lamb could play early aswell, especially with Darling currently injured.

 

[yummy6]

Goldstein, Naitanui and Maric.

Which duo do people think? Goldy and Maric at the moment but Naitanui has a high ceiling.

Goldstein, Naitanui and Maric.

Which duo do people think? Goldy and Maric at the moment but Naitanui has a high ceiling.

f NicNat, too injury prone
unless you cover when he has a couple weeks off with a back issue, don't think the heartache is worth it

Goldy and Maric for me

 

[Goats]

Goldstein, Naitanui and Maric.

Which duo do people think? Goldy and Maric at the moment but Naitanui has a high ceiling.

Goldy and Maric the safest bet, if you can afford it without changing the your current lineup.

 

[Flandersss]

Haynes v Pittard

 

[MightyMark]

Goldy and Maric for me

I dont understand your logic here. You do realise that Maric has missed more game over the last 5 years than NicNat, and other than 2013 NicNat has played at least 20 over the last 5 years as well.

If injury issues are your concern, Maric probably isn't the best option for you. FFS Mumford, has played more games over the last 5 years.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Haynes v Pittard

Pittard only because of js.
Haynes not mind him but heater and Hampton prob get more of the pill.

oh ok, thought maric had played a few full seasons before last years big injury
jacobs and goldy it is!

Dubious on Jacobs.

Correct me if im wrong, but none of the top ruckman since the Cox and Sandi glory days and Goldy currently have managed to finish top 5 rucks 2 years in a row.

mmm no idea, you're probably right though

I'd like to drop Jacobs and would love to use the extra $$$ elsewhere but I just don't like anybody else

Minson?

Yes the new rule won't help but he is durable & clear #1 ruck.

Maric, as far as I know, has had an injury free pre season. NicNat seems to have a few niggles at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I currently have NN instead of Maric, but I think that could be where the thought process might have come from

Swan vs Ziebell +20k
Deledio/Buddy/Martin vs Devon Smith + 40-60k

Mayes vs Geary vs Pittard vs KK
Harbrow vs Fisher

Swan
NicNat
Rich (but would be weary of either)
Griffen, maybe Wines
Hibberd pending ASADA otherwise Enright
Jacobs
As much as I hate to say it, probably KK from that group unless Mayes looks likely to push up the ground.
Harbrow

Harbrow vs Fisher

Jesus

Swan very easily
Buddy, dusty, lids in that order IMO all ahead of smith. Having said that all three are good options so go with your gut
NicNat
I probably wouldn't go with either, but I like Wells the most of the two
Probably Wines (530k odd)
Hibberd (asada pending) otherwise Kelly with talk of a move back to the middle
Jacobs
KK
Fisher if you're prepared to gamble on his fitness

 

[TheOz]

Langdon.

JS is better than Clanceeeeee's

Clancee would be a lock if his spot was guaranteed in Freo's 22

 

[SnappyHappy]

J Lewis v Parker

Haynes v Pittard

I reckon neither but if I had to choose, Pittard

 

[TN25]

Goldstein, Naitanui and Maric.

Which duo do people think? Goldy and Maric at the moment but Naitanui has a high ceiling.

Goldy and NN if you wanna risk NN's injury proneness, otherwise Goldy and Maric

 

[Flandersss]

Don't like Pittard?

Young rebounding defender in a very good side, 72 sc points in limited game time against WC aswell.
