Marchbank is so ridiculously expensive for a 50/60 average player, why is everyone picking him?
80's in JLT & JS

Hardly any 117-123k rookies are gonna be named besides your Pickett/Butler/Eddy/Houston types

Nah this guy is a different beast. KPP but plays like a Kouta like mid. Roams and gets amongst it.

Will average 20 touches, 8 marks and 5 tackles. Book him in

Will struggle to average anything over 60 in that team.

It's a bit premature calling him a 50-60 player. He's only had a handful of games. We really haven't seen anything yet. He did get a 93 from 15 touches in R1 last year too...

I guess Ruggles worked out alright for those who took him at the start

Might have to take Hibberd or EVW or Smith or Stewart even if they don't make the cut

You don't really understand SC scoring if you think Marchbank will score no more than 60.

Reads the ball well(intercept marks), gets tackles, runs off a player to receive kicks(kicks more than handballs), should be the number 2 clearance kicker in the backline now that Touhy has left.

80+ imo and that is conservative.

Yup I agree, he seems similar to rance. I reckon he will average 80

Issue with Marchbank is that you'll have to decide tomorrow night before the teams for Sunday matches are finalised, and there's like 6 cheap def rookies playing on Sunday

If a heap of the rookies are named on the extended bench, I might give Marchbank a miss and risk that a couple of them make the final team, worst case I'll have a zero for a week or 2

If none or very few of Otten, Hibberd, EVW, Guthrie, Stewart are named, I'll have to grab Marchbank

Don't have enough info to take a punt on Petrevski-Seton at his price.

Will wait till 2 rounds are played and if he's looking like a charging bull - then he comes in for some floundering / absent rookie I will inevitably pick :p
