Position 2015 SuperCoach defenders

[JohnnyDrama1]

So really what you just said is he has had one year at 95, which was ahead of his previous 2 seasons at 75, then he dropped back down again to low 90? There are far better options in the backs than him. He will never give you a massive score ever. He is just your average footballer who gets a little bit of the ball, but will never be a star.

Sorry but this bloke was pushing AA in 2013 and last year until he got injured, he is by no means an 'average footballer'. Also he average 75 in his first two seasons because they were his first two seasons, you cant expect a bloke to come straight into the AFL and go bang and average 95+. Think it is ludicrous that you can say he is at best a 90 average player when he has average over 90 the past 2 seasons, and is only getting better as he spends more time in the system. Also he has had scores of 124 (3 times) and 130 in his career, which clearly shows he can go big for a defender.

You are more than welcome to your opinion, but it is a very biased Essendon based opinion (trust me I know, I am always throwing out my biased Port opinion on here). He is no where near as good as you are claiming. He was not pushing AA selection in 2013, he was good, but not that good. He would not be a terrible pick, but he is not a great pick either.

I admit I am biased but I still believe he was pushing AA at some stage during the year
as proof here is a range of mid season AA teams from 2013 and 2014 (only half way I know) of which Hibberd features, which proves he was pushing and is above 'average'

You mean his first two seasons in the AFL where he scored 75+? Shocking stuff. You stated that he is not a 90ppg played, the fact that two out of his four seasons in the AFL have yielded 90+ ppg seasons proves otherwise.

I think you have missed my main premise, sure he doesn't go huge however he doesn't go particularly low either which means you get a consistent player and more importantly, a player who will hardly fluctuate in price. What this means is that someone who ranges in the 85 to 110 range from week to week will be a lot harder to upgrade to than someone with a vastly inflated standard deviation. A player might score a 150 yet if he scores a 70 and a 40 in consecutive weeks, his 150 gets cycled out of his pricing at the conclusion of his 40 game, meaning a massive break even and a subsequent price drop. A player that doesn't go that low will never have a substantial drop in price thus being harder to upgrade to. A player scoring 160, 60, and 50 in three weeks still scores the same amount of points as a player that scores 90, 95 and 85, the difference being at the end of this three game cycle, the first player will be losing much more value thus being much easier to upgrade to (although you could argue the big score inflates his price somewhat, yet more often that not those big games specifically for defenders are relatively sparse). Being able to attain a "massive score" is entirely irrelevant, specifically if the same player is prone to score at the other end of the spectrum.

I'm with Oz on this. Hibberd is as steady as they come. High possession winner abeit cheapies but accumulates nonetheless and is a v.good kick. 85-110 solid every week. Lock.

[JohnnyDrama1]

Freo fans is Clancee likely to play rd 1? And also apparently he played a tagging role last night is he likely to continue this or move to a HBF

 

[Big Bryza]

Anyone got the aggots to pick Jack Grimes?

Early on i was keen

but i was stoned as fk

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Considering both Pearce and MacMillan.

Depending on defender rookies, I might take this action.

ExplaiNs a lot.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Nope. Looks to have gone backwards.

That + he has no chance to get a decent run of games. Wait for Whitecross.

Shame, liked his style last year. White cross risky for mine.

 

[Judd_Magic]

I have C.Pearce at D5 and Whitecross at D6.

If Whitecross doesn't start round 1 then I'll find the extra cash to go Whitecross > MacMillian.

Not confident of him starting round 1 Toxic.

Me either bud

 

[stevebbb]

I'm set on the following 3 premos
Smith, Birchall (assuming he lines up rd1) and Hibberd (assuming he doesn't get banned lol)

Newnes, sutcliffe and pittard interest me for D4 (and possibly D5 depending on my final structure)

Can see Nathan Brown having a bit of luck and playing a full season, might grab him for the 20-60 points, it's better than than a donut lol

 

[Training Mad]

Any one keen on McGovern (no glass Mckenzie) good chance for chb
