2009 Player Discussion - Part 2

[Saint KFC]

Well from what I've seen so far this preseason he has played a much tighter checking role in defence, which means he wasnt running off his man racking up lots of touches and marks. Do you think that will continue in the season proper, or will he be same as always?

Come on, think about it.

We lose a loose defender to the midfield (Goddard)
We gain a tight defender back from injury (Maguire)

If anything, I see Fisher playing more loose ala Goddard whilst Goose (Maguire) takes the KPP.

 

[Lord_Travis]

Sh*t forgot about Maguire lol. He's like Rivers for us. It's been so long since he was out there you forget they exist sometimes :S
Cheers for reminding me. Might have to rejig the backline now...

 

[Bollox]

Now onto something very important.

Anyone work out yet how that gun dt'er Jay Shulz managed to be listed in the backs as well ?

 

[Schulzenfest]

He was also in my team for abit but I feel theres more secure options at his price. I do feel his spot isnt secure.
Dalgunziel has I think pushed him to a fringe player.
Add Rich to the mix good chance he will be fighting for a spot on the Interchange bench.

Are you talking about Selwood or Power? Because suggesting Power's spot in the side isn't secure is ridiculous.

 

[Lord_Travis]

I think they'd be talking about Selwood

Power's place is definitely secure. Though I remember reading/hearing he would be playing less midfield and more crumbing forward this year?

 

[Schulzenfest]

So would I but he quoted something about Power.

 

[Jab]

Apparently Liam Anthony is having a BIG game!!!

He did! I just got back from the game so Im not sure of the stats but I have already posted this in another thread but Laidley loved him at 3 quarter time.

Llyod played up the ground 2nd half in Lucas old role. Just thought I'd throw that in, he got plenty of it, once again im not sure of the stats.

 

[JimmyRecard]

anyone know if abletts price will drop if he averages 115-120 due to the magic number?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Don't think he'll play forward much, if at all this year TBH. With Lucas, Lloyd, Neagle and Gumbleton, i wouldn't think they'd need another tall forward.

Sounds good in theory, but he'll definitely play forward at some stages throughout the year. That is a given. As people have said previously, expect his scores to be up and down like a yo-yo. Will be quite inconsistant.

Rough estimations - using MN estimates that reflect the MN changes/movements of 2008.

Im not the best at this sort of thing, but here s a few rough projections:

Ave 105: Lost around 75k by round 9-10
Ave 110: Lose around 50k by round 9-10
Ave 115: Lose around 30k by round 9-10
Ave 120: Lose around 10k by round 9-10

Note: Numbers ive used are the average. By that i mean, for each round in the first example, i have him scoring 105, when in reality it may more be like 75, 135, 105... which would lead to bigger price fluctuations. Also worth noting, MN will probably change differently this year due to higher rookie prices (for first round draftees etc).

If someone else has better estimations, feel free to post - hope this helps.

I recently changed Daniel Cross and brought in Brad Daziell. Brad is in for a big year

 

[foley4brownlow]

thoughts on cousins? looks a good buy at 365k for a player that should average 90+

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Krakour is almost a lock for me now.

 

[m_zulian]

Dalziell. He is going to be a superstar!

 

[Benno_900]

how big, do you have a friend at the game?

Probably another 25+ touches. Lock for round 1. Moreso than Ziebell.

 

[Lakey91]

I dont know if i can bring myself to pick both ziebell and anthony...

 

[Hodges]

Same. Only going with Anthony at this stage.

 

[Saint KFC]

I dont know if i can bring myself to pick both ziebell and anthony...

Any reason why apart from last year's Laidley factor?

 

[chadleverington]

Ave 105: Lost around 75k by round 9-10
Ave 110: Lose around 50k by round 9-10
Ave 115: Lose around 30k by round 9-10
Ave 120: Lose around 10k by round 9-10

Personally if he averages 105 for the first 9-10 rounds, and he goes down in 70k i wont care, as captain he should be a goer.

 

[Lakey91]

Yeh fair call, but i think we can expect to get him fairly cheap at some point.

Saint KFC - I dont know. When was the last time two first year rookies played in the same team for first 10 rounds in a row?

Good question/point there Lakey, you recover quickly i see.

cheers mate how about after round 3? would they be alot larger loses then gradually get less till he gets to about a correct average?

Not sure, would have to look into it.

There is a first for everything though

FWIW, Anthony is a mature-aged recruit. He turns 22 in August.

Similar recruit to Ballantyne at Freo.
