a) you should never use brownlow as a metric. It's a joke of an award. And b) Pickett is playing a lot of midfield time now.
Steven May, the best defender in the league and arguably Melbourne's most important team structurally got 0 brownlow votes last year. That's the AA Fullback.
You just...
The match against the dogs was probably the best footy we've played for most of last season. 👏 The defensive pressure was consistent across 4 quarters and we had even contributors. Judd McVee created a bit of a buzz so it'd be nice to see him get another go.
Yep, correction. I meant best players in the game, in his role. lol. Not overall.
The shift towards rating small forwards changed a few years ago. In terms of recruiting and the draft etc. The dogs had to take Weightman with a first rounder. The dees also took Pickett with a first rounder. And...
I do rate Bergman. But it's still potential at this stage. He had his rookie year, and then an injury interrupted 2022 and is only 1 game into 2023. He definitely has a lot of good traits, I agree. Georgiadis also has elite traits but the last 12 months he has stagnated and even got dropped...
I started him because of his consistency and very high floor. Something that he has now broken. Also, we can't talk about trading out laird unless we talk about Tom Green and how good he looked. Does Laird = Tom Green +240k, that's the question. I prefer the Tom Green option. Or what about...
Ah ok. well yeah I'd agree and say that Bergman is worth that, provided he has a good season. 2 firsts is the going rate for an out of contract Pickett. So it's a f1 and Bergman or 2 firsts surely. And the way Pickett played in round 1, he's going to be worth over 750k so just the salary cap...
Jefferson will be a gun and hopefully our next years first rounder too but Jackson was never going to be a forward. He's a solo ruck or pure mid. He shouldn't even rest forward. He could be a key defender also. Freo will figure it out .
I'd say a late first for Bergman personally. But definitely nothing in the top 10. I really don't see how a deal gets done with Port unless they find more picks. Why is Bergman mentioned anyway? is he out of contract or something?
Pickett is already a star of the comp. Your future 1 would be the starting point surely? And from there it'd have to be another good player or find your way into another good pick.
2nd round picks don't really hold any value these days. So Bergman + 2nd is basically Bergman for Pickett which...
If laird goes 120+ it's fine. just pick him up like everyone else will in 5 weeks. it's just burnt trades. Laird will always be there but Tom Green/Setterfield/Ziebell won't be this cheap ever again.
yeah, I've got Chandler and most of the decent rooks except for maybe a Uwland who i'm not losing any sleep over. I understand Chandler is a bigger priority.
I see it more like let's say the season starts now. Laird is 1.02 Mill, and Tom Green is 782k. Who are we starting? It's Green by a...
yeah, that's all well and good but what is making amends in terms of fantasy? 170? that's what he needs. And why were his legs not working? it didn't seem to bother any other midfielder out there? they all seem like excuses to me. I hope he does well but he's plummeting in price and Tom Greene...
