How come no love for Tom Stewart?

Brought him in, already had Homes
No bye now, had Rd 3 bye up until today

 

[iDon]

Yeah cool, I thought for a minute Nasiah was injured, I realise now you're just gonna pick a guy who no longer has the early bye intead.

All good

I might still stick with NWM. Been in the side since day dot.

 

[Ingy]

I was relieved when I realised he wasn't injured.

His teammates seem pretty excited about his prospects this season. Hopefully the Saints as a whole unit don't suck too hard

 

[Double the Fist]

Is Holmes pure mid for Geelong?
I had him penciled in for ages, went cold on him, now want to make Short Holmes....

At his price I don't see huge upside but some are talking about 'breakout'.
Thoughts please!

I can't put my finger on it. Top ten defender almost every year.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

And you shouldn't either

hard to know. he played quite a lot in defence in the last ps game

 

[Kadog]

Stewart D4
With sufficient rd2 cover I’m now inclined to switch Clark>Houston. Solid 105 magpie right there.

You got 4 other fingers and a fat thumb...have a real go .

 

[rocker_oz33]

you'd be fun at a party

He was pulled over for going to slow I bet .

Have brought him in, feels like apart from father time, he has prospects as good as / better than NWM and Clark, and he has the pedigree.
But who knows, tbh.

Hoops and prison bars in doggies def Houston then jump on josh once he gets DPP.Woof.

 

[gutsroy]

Both solid picks, I don’t have either at the minute but could have either for sure.

Had both .

But need cash else where.

But soild options imo.
Woof.

Cheers, fellas. You blokes know what you're doing and you're both not on him.... Hmm..
Maybe I'm talking myself into it, but discount, reason for a rebound no bye issue now, seems like he's at least worth kicking the tyres on / having a think about.

Stew had a bit of a down year last year .
Few inj scores in there plus copped some tags.
Gone about tonne since he's 3rd year in the system.

I also like fanta pants Roberts .

Back in ya guts mate .

Alot of us are getting closer to the starting line .
And trying to fit young pups (rookies) with the big dogs .

I like the look of both Holmes and stew.

Fanta pants Roberts a option down back.
Then new pie Perryman.

Options everywhere

Already got Matty Boombatty, mate, looking for a bloke up to around Lil Nas pricetag, had him as the placeholder all preseason.
Thought about the Pez Dispenser, but plenty of blokes thru the middle who don't get past 90 when the real stuff starts.
Was thinking Stew won't be running thru the middle this year, you've beefed up there.
If he cops tags down back again, tho...

100%.
We're carrying this mob again, mate, rest of 'em not prepared to put their head over the pill, just hanging off waiting for the easy handball receive.

As an owner the past couple of years it feels like Stewart is starting to miss games more regularly.

Dale as a pod?

Debuted mid 20s? So doesn't have the wear and tear of other players

 

[54Dogs]

Can't believe I'm even looking at this, peak stupidity season with the game switch. Looking at SDK Rds 15-19 last yr while rucking.

With SDK going almost the same in the pre season match vs Bombers as he did rucking last yr against them, I'm confused as to why he has multiple other 90s/100s in his 5 games rucking when the numbers across the games look quite similar. Is it purely HTAs and DE% or am I missing something like intercept marks that doesn't appear in these numbers?

Without looking at stats .

I remember he's second efforts at stoppages been pretty good and he's around the ground work e.g. marks not bad .


Sam vs Tom.

I was at the Carlton game and blues fans getting into him he was copping a bath.
But Sam was second rated player on the ground at the time.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Nic Martin as a POD?

Typing as someone having him last year:

Martin gets the pill:

Martin disposes of the pill:

Martin gets the pill:

Martin disposes it efficiently:

The HTA across the ruck stretch account for around a 15-pt average bump.
Got some big tackle numbers in those games,.too.3.5 pts/ tackle
Bump in contested and uncontested possessions vs non-ruck games, that sort of gear.
If you want, I can try to put points to the acts, but it's a combination of factors

 

[King Max]

I just put Zorko into my team. I wanna smile and vomit at the same time.
Wanted Neale, just happy with my mids…

Welcome you fine old specimen.
Mop up that footy in that backline for those 150s….
