2016 Forwards

[Krujan]

Aaron Hall.

Those last 7 weeks of last season he was brilliant. Guns back in side or good or bad thing? Flicked the switch or fools gold? 428k feels tempting.

Hall will rotate through the midfield & forward line with Touk.

Reports saying Touk looked in great shape at training too, right?

Looking good for Westhoff

Anyone think Heeney could have a Wingard-esque 2nd year?

Averaged 70 and was the sub at least 4 or 5 times. More game time will naturally have him increase to 80-85 but could he push 95+

Might be my POD selection up forward.

I've had him in my team, he's a good price but too risky I think. Definately a POD and could break out,
could pay off.

Contemplating about running buddy, trying to take very minimal risks this year and Buddy is definitely a risk but he has a huge ceiling when his on song......

Tempting price and nice early draw, so many midfielder types available though.

Balanced against the fact that he could just bugger off at any point in the season without being injured if he starts dealing with depression again.
And its not like his physical durability is outstanding + He has a tendency to get suspended for high hits every so often.
Id love him as a f7, but im not starting him!

Jakes just got me intrigued

Especially as he played chunks as a mid in doggies intraclub game

Not in the intraclub game that I saw on Saturday he didn't.

Was apparently on 7 news talking about building up his tank to play last 10mins of each qtr in the mids

Last year Sydney had 7 players score 90+, which is above the average of 6.
They had 8 in 2014, so Sydney generally have enough high scorers to allow for him to push 90+ without any of the top guys needing to drop off too much.

I don't know his SC PPM, but for DT he was around 0.76, which would be around an 80 DT avg based on what would be a likely 85% TOG.

Anyone liking Tom Bell? Went big a few times last year.

I hope he has a big year for my team's sake, but historically he's struggled with his kicking and based on pre season reports that looks set to continue. Will have some huge games no doubt, but I think the kicking efficiency will hurt him being able to deliver week in, week out from a SC perspective. Probably a decent option for DT.

Too many questions marks for me.

Averaged in the 60s for 3 interrupted years, was last year a coming of age, or a flash in the pan?
What will the change of club do for him?
What role will he be playing?
How much more can he improve, will need another 10+ points per match to be worthwhile.

Although there isn't a great deal around his price, I'd prefer Buddy or Motlop.

Mitch Robinson anyone!?

Averaged 111 in the last 10 games.

Only gripe i would have difficulty cheering him on in matches..

Now that's a POD Ive never thought about him . He looks to be in good shape (except the mug) . You might be on to something there. Can't see any reason he would dip in form with more help this year you'd think he would have more effective disposal

He's worth the pick from appearance alone.

 

[Bearded Dragons]

Was drafted as a midfielder and his tank is the best its ever been. Last year he didn't have a pre-season and kicked 50+ and averaged 20d a game. I'm picking more midfield time (regardless of Polec and Wines). Wingard is 22 and got a lot of development left. It is an opinion and (maybe biased) but Chad could easily kick 50+ again and average 24 disposals. He isn't the type that is happy with not improving either so I expect improvement this year.

+1 he was also carrying a niggling knee injury for part of the year. He was on a restricted training program up until the new year and is now back to full fitness. That's why Port were not to fussed when he got stuck in Bali for 10 days over the Xmas period when the volcanic ash closed the airport. The extra forced rest in Bali done him the world of good.

I haven't read back any pages, so not sure if you guys have discussed Wells, but he seems to be absolutely flying. I've got him in my side pending round 1 fitness, I see him easily averaging 85+ and as long as he plays 6+ games he'll make me plenty of cash, could be my f6/7 for the entire season (at absolute best/I'm dreaming) or could be a good scoring cash cow or he could crash and burn in the first few weeks, however I can then downgrade him to the next best rookie and get a cash injection.

Who's not picking him? Why?

2015 played one NAB then rounds 1 and 2.
2014 One NAB then Rounds 1,2,3,4,5. Then 21/23 and then scored 98, 67, 49 in September.

Beams was missing from rounds 19-23 last year.

That might be his goal for during the season, but he finished the last quarter of the intra-club as the forward closest to the goals for the white team.
