2018 Forwards

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Have changed Sicily > Lobb at the last minute, even though I think Sicily is still a decent selection.

Can't ignore Lobb's 2017 SC form in the ruck over their two finals.

over just two finals though..

over just two finals though..

Small sample size, no doubt. But given he dominated on both occasions rucking all game as GWS' #1 ruck, that's enough for me.

Should also have no competition as well most of the year, with GWS preferring to use Patton as FWD half ruck relief instead of playing a second ruckman in Simpson.

Been on Lobb all pre-season. Just a matter or him being ready in time.

Big Mundy anyone?

 

[Stiggly]

Ok, Bell/Christensen/Dunkley - 20min to decide ---- Go!

 

[GT619]

Petracca or Sicily for f4, I’m still torn which way to go. Any suggestions

Still no talk of the Goat . Awesome pod

Best forward under 472k?

Current ‘popular’ options are:
McLean
vs
Petracca +$36k
vs
Lobb + $73k

Have had McLean but haven’t actually seen him, so purely going off numbers.

Any advice?

Definitely not Lobb ......will play predominantly fwd IMO .....underdone to ruck ....largest risk

McLean v Petracca is a coin toss ???? ......me Petracca purely for the "star" power factor & Viney out

Psst...Neal-Bullen

I’ve seen a bit of love for him from the Dees brethren. Not sure I’m willing to take the risk having not seen anything of him. What role was he playing at the Dees in JLT?

 

[Jiska]

me Petracca purely for the "star" power factor & Viney out

Petracca plays outside, Viney is in and under. May as well say Tom McDonald is out, so Petracca is a no brainer.

Psst...Neal-Bullen

No

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Rioli going to be a slow burn. He was so not match ready, and somehow got where he did.

I will stick it out, but going to take a while to get him into games

No

Are you saying Petracca with his build & ave speed is a pure outside player .....in the mould of Stephensen ? ............nah, maybe not the bull that Viney is, but he does win contested ball ....doesn't he ??

Yep, he does. But he doesn’t, and won’t, play the role Viney does.
IMO Maynard will step in to Viney’s role. Called it a while back. Very similar players.

Question I guess is, if he remains at HFF and pinch hits in the kids, will he improve enough to justify picking him?!! Can he average 95?

I think he will, just through his improved body strength. The bloke is a genuine gun and his disposal and decision making is everting Jack Watts was meant to have

If he can't, then i've wasted a pick

I bloody hope so. I know as a saints supporter I’m meant to have a chip on my shoulder reees/Petracca etc, but I just want him to dominate this year!

Issue with SC is it’s not about what I want!

 

[JuddgementDay]

Still 60/40 on Petracca vs Lobb
Just a bit concerned with Lobb match fitness, but as a lone ruckman he will score pretty well

 

[GT619]

Sicily

I see what you did there

Lobb and McLean both looking pretty good here. Of course I went with Petracca...

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Mitch Wallis should score well now that Liber is out. Averaged almost 100 last time Lib missed the year.

One for the upgrade maybe.
