Position 2014 SC Defenders

[Super Hans]

A few of good defenders this year. I guess McViegh/Mitchell will replace Goddard as the star of the show at the back.

Seen Bartel in a few teams, he's an upgrade target for me, I think this could be the year he starts to drop off so I'd like an early look at him.

 

[Krujan]

I've noticed that 1AW not getting much love this pre-season. He averaged 106 last year FFS!

I'd have him before bartel

Scott D Thompson?

Scott D Thompson?

With so many mids available who are capable of 110+ averages, it's tough for a KP premo Def (albeit 1 that has averaged 100) to get a look in this year. Will be a good POD for sure, but not for me.

A Walker, Mitchell, Bartel & McVeigh lock and loaded!

 

[hoddo]

I've been surprised Thompson wasn't getting a mention too. He's a big chance to join Bartel, Simpson and Birchall as my starting non-rookie defenders.

Are you doing that thing where you try and push the muppets on everyone and sit back laughing when they appear in half the teams?

Nope, i actually rate ibbotson and he plays in a top 8 side which for my premium / keepers is important

Is this the part where you deny you are peddling muppets.

Nick Vlastuin anybody? $405,200, DPP, potential break-out year....

He also plays for Ross Lyin

Been burnt with 2nd year players before...however, I am also stupid enough to repeat past mistakes. Tempting at that price, but better options available. May as well chuck in another 100k and get a proper premo

 

[KardiniaPark]

Not for me, he's less than 100K off Beams & Murphy. Even Ellis is only 40k more and he looks to have far more upside than Vlaustin. You can also take the risk on Daisy for 60k less.

Haven't seen Docherty in as many teams lately;

"Sammy Docherty's been injured of late but he was going really well in Arizona by all reports"

Have Hurn at D3 ATM, reckon he can score at ave ~95 IMO, but is priced at 87,

Am thinking that McVeigh (ah you've done it again), Mitchell, Walker, Bartel, Walker will be likely upgrades during season,

At his price, it's him or Suckling. I know which I'd prefer.

Rhyce Shaw?? Training the house down at 299k.. Worth a pre-season look..

He could be but like a lot of other players he is getting on, also I think some of the reason for his price decline is that the SCG is not anywhere near as expansive as the MCG was when he was at the filth. Hence the run and carry game that Shaw has can be easily restricted by opposition teams. Having said that he will still increase in value from 300k, but by how much?

Don't mind him so much but there's too many decent options down back. I'd rather save money on the crap up front.

Price decline due to injury. Capable of an 80-90 average.

 

[Mad Sainter]

On a somewhat unrelated note has anyone seen that a professional sportsman officially has a name worse than Kade Kolodjashnij? Try the debut season Aussie tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

What average would people consider as a pass mark for Matt Suckling?

There is a lot of love for him and I think there is an expectation among a few people that he will average close to 100 but I think he will be more around the 80-85 mark at best - is that enough to consider a R1 spot?

R1 spot? Since when was Suckling a ruck?

If you meant D1 then nah, no way. D4 at best I reckon.

I see Suckling averaging about 85-90ish.

Don't think Sucklings a keeper but maybe one of those guys you upgrade towards the end.
