I also tipped the Tigers on the back of a much more sophisticated analysis.

Ha! My mum has a superstitious belief that white shorts are bad luck.
She's a Crows supporter. I might need to send this to her.

So I am preparing for my Ultimate Footy Draft on the 11th of March and there is a player that I am looking at closely - Travis Boak.
With the addition of Motlop and Watts, I would have thought that he would be playing more of an inside midfield roll (more fantasy points) than the half forward roll of 2017.
What are your guys thoughts? Has he been training with the kids pre-season or more with the forwards.
Any information is much appreciated, thanks guys!

Too early to say really. The arrival of Rockliff has the potential to squeeze him out of the mid rotations even further.
If your'e looking for a 100 point average, look elsewhere, but he should be good for 80-90.

Also, wrong thread

expect an average in the 80s, there is some more discussion about him In this thread

Is that to help in his re-signing

I'm sure everyone feels this way, rightly or wrongly, about a rival's players.

But between those two and Jenkins did they actively recruit using Ancestry's seeyounextchewsdee genetic test?

You can literally see grubs squirming out of every pore.

Yeah I spotted that too and had a chuckle.

THE GWS Giants’ injury curse has continued, with emerging midfielder Will Setterfield suffering a suspected ACL rupture in the club’s practice match against the Sydney Swans on Friday night.

Setterfield was tackled by young Swan Jordan Foote on the wing and landed awkwardly on his left knee.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Devestating for GWS and Setterfield

Always has to be a hard-luck story and unfortunately it had to be him this time.

Memba how that team an hour west of Melbourne were allegedly all 'we're emphasising Geelong Cats because GFC has yucky acronymical connotations with that financial clusterfolk aye'?

I don't think GWS also standing for Get Well Soon is helping their fortunes any is the incredibly long bow I'm drawing.

Was interested in seeing him play as wasn't a heap a lot of coverage of him pre-draft nor did he have a chance to break through last year.

So GWS have now lost Mumford, Stevie J, Devon Smith, Nathan Wilson, Matthew Kennedy, Zac Williams and now Setterfield from the players who were available to them last year. Seriously starting to think that they could be sliders.

Dylan Shiel can't carry the midfield alone, and with Jeremy Cameron nowhere near his best up forward they've gotta rob peter to pay Paul and play Greene more up forward.

I think they are in a fair bit of strife.

Lobb is their first ruck now and hes more of a Westhoff than a first ruck.

Plus their defensive run is going to take a huge hit with those names missing down there. Could slide big time in the scores from kickouts.

Their midfield is still okay. They've still got plenty of top line talent in Kelly, Coniglio, Ward, Whitfield, Shiel and Scully. It's their depth if they get anymore injuries that would be a concern.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Their backline is the real issue. It’s essentialky going to be Phil Davis, Heath Shaw and a bunch of inexperienced kids.

 

[Nemisis]

Greene of GWS also out with a injured toe he hurt in New York when he 'apparently' stubbed his toe against a wall!

You might find if GWS struggle up forward for marks, Lobb will end up down there and D Simpson will come in and ruck.

I can't be the only one who feels Jeremy Cameron is a monumental failure compared to how good everyone seems to think he is.
