2016 Forwards

[PowerDrafter]

Yep, and reports of him training with mid group.

I think everyone will get midfield training this year, purely off the fact that your best players will need to be on the field longer and need better fitness. Jury is still out on what scoring will be like with the removal of the sub rule.

I have Buddy in my team ATM. I'm thinking he can go back to 100 average.

My thoughts on the 2 Richmond premo forwards:

If you take out the two injury/sub effected scores from Deledio's season, his average was 119. Under priced. Lock.

Dusty 'No Tank' Martin is not going to like the new interchange cap. IMO less rotations means he will go missing in games more often. I'll be leaving him out.

I have locked Dusty in. Rest forward for 30 percent of each quarter. Should kick 2-3 goals a game.

Looks like he's slimmed down too, let's hope he brings back the Buddy we all know and love.

My forward 6 will be something like:

Dusty, Dahlhaus, Wingard, Anderson, Cockatoo, Kerridge.

Probably one I'm wondering the most about is Dahlhaus, will he go back forward more with Libba back meaning he'll get scores around 70-90 but never 100's or will he still get good midfield time? Cheers

I think Wallis and Macrae will suffer more from Libbas return. Picken may get more rotations though.
Dahlhaus stays the same or even a 5 point increase.

My forward structure is very similar ATM. Might change and get one more premo in place of predicted good scoring rookie priced player.

Dahlhaus will still get midfied time and enough of the ball to post consistent 105+ scores, the guy's a player for sure, don't worry. I've got him and Zorko and Wingard all in the same basket, don't worry, be happy.

Zorko loves throwing up a 40 or 50 every so often. I reckon you can get him cheaper.

Meanwhile I'll be waiting on other much more expensive players than Zorko to get cheaper, i.e.. H.Shaw

I dont see buddy as high risk
I see barlow as DT relevant whose reached his SC max
Buddy has massive upside.
If buddy was priced at 540k+ I'd think twice

I'm not starting with Greene for similar reason. Butchers the ball & more suited to DT. I'd prefer Devon Smith over Greene.

I couldn't agree more with this.
He can't be any worse than he was last year. He plays even half decent footy, his price increases.
You're getting a potential 105ave forward for 470k.
I'm pretty confident with his selection, and I think the interchange cap only helps him

 

[Hairy Lager]

Devon Smith anyone?

"Smith expressed his desire to see more midfield time in 2016, and said the addition of three-time Geelong premiership forward Steve Johnson would help his cause."

If you were going to pick him, ^ would be a good reason to take a punt on him.

Buddy is shite. Stay away.

Major burn factor for me. Most small forwards are gonna get more mid time this year. Id be looking at good users of the balls rather than tackle monsters. Now watch him go 105 for the year

Greene buddy...Sinclair close behind

Yeah but he got more midfield time with Libba out last year. im not convinced he can improve by any great lengths this year. He probably doesn't need to improve to be a good fwd pick but I'm just saying I think he may drop off a couple of points.

Chuck in Barlow to.
