2013 Player X v Player Y

[Iskender Time]

Need to get Heppell & Ibbotson out, So tossing between Hanley, H Shaw, Birchill, Pearce, Johnson & Stanley.

I'd definitely go with Hanley and probably Pearce. Thought of Harry O'Brien as a back option?


Do I play play Mitch Robbinson on the field over JJK? Will Robbo play a role with similar opportunities this week against the Bombers? It would give me a point of difference in my final and JJK has given us a couple of stinkers. Robbo on the other hand was good just before his injury a couple of weeks ago and great last week.

Hanley might be a late out, heath shaw and birchall are derps. I would go o'brein/elilis/hibberd/enright if you dont have then but from that lot johnson and shaw (against the eagles who consider heaps of points)...so pick the shaw the derp

tough one i think JJK is slowly down and face it we all saw it coming and Robbo seems to have come back in form like Scotland so Robinson for me

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Enright, Hibberd, O'Brien, Pearce, Murphy, scotland, or even birchall to save some coin??? Man this sucks

enright and o'brein
1 for consistency and 1 that will most likely to score a 100
2nd best option would be scotland and o'brein

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

went with your picks (even before you posted!), happy with 95 from Harry O

Similar to my dilemma you quoted in the trades thread haha. I personally reckon Cotchin will go big, and he was subbed off last week so he shouldn't be subbed again. Need to get rid of Jack against the Hawks IMO, been scoring shit. I already have Griffen and will go Jack to Libba this week so flip a coin really, both should score well, but Griff will probably get the McKenzie tag.

The only thing I'm certainly do this week, it Jack > Liberatore if that helps

Haha the pressure must be getting to me! Yeh I don't have Griffen so I leaning towards Libba. 50/50 in cotchin/jack, concerned about the two low scores about cotchin. Probs will go jack to libba

Ben McEvoy or Mike Pyke?

 

[Coaster2012]

Zorko vs Slyvia in the forward line?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Ben McEvoy or Mike Pyke?

Don't think either of them represent great value to be honest. McEvoy is and always will be more of an SC player. Pyke may increase his average being the number 1 ruckman, but personally I have doubts about his ability to hold down the number 1 ruck spot. Not because others are banging on the door, simply because it's just not the kind of player he is. I think he'll end up back in his traditional role at some point over the course of the season - maybe sooner, maybe later. Just my opinion and I could definitely be wrong, but I wouldn't pick him, personally.

To answer your question more directly: I wouldn't pick either, but Pyke has more potential to increase his value.

Zorko vs Slyvia in the forward line?

It's a tough one. Zorko represents massive value if Leppitsch allows him to spend more time in the midfield. He plays his best football there, yes, but it's a structure thing - he is a highly capable goal sneak and, structurally, he supports their forward line very well (especially since their tall forwards drop more than they mark). I'm not 100% convinced that he'll get as much midfield time this year as people suspect unless somebody like Green really breaks out. That said though, he is immense value at his price tag and is worth the risk.

Sylvia could go either way - could improve his numbers with a very good midfield around him, or they could drop on account of not being relied on so heavily. I expect they'll improve - but it's hard to say by how much.

Personally I have Sylvia just edging Zorko out in terms of being a better pick - but this all depends on Leppitsch's decision on Zorko, as, with extended midfield time, he's almost undoubtedly a better pick in my opinion. I see nothing wrong with having both of them, though.

Any chance a 2014 version of this thread can be created instead of latching on to an already lengthy and outdated thread?
