2018 Prospects / Never again list

[Raveneyes]

LOL at you flogs.

Some of these names being thrown up are ridiculous.

I'm going back to what got me successive top 4K finishes. G'N'f'n'R' all the way!

GUN, GUN, GUN, rookie, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)
GUN, GUN, GUN, GUN, rookie, rookie, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie, rookie)
GUN, GUN (rookie)
GUN, GUN, GUN, rookie, rookie, rookie (rookie, rookie)

Just hand me the cash now.

Witherden and Ryan both locks

Witherden with crabfault going to Port is just a wet dream come true

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I'm gonna fall for the Rockliff trap for the 4th year running if he goes to Port. Fmscl.

As Tox pointed out earlier Ryder down to Rocky would be points galore.

Could it make Christensen a good pick too? Provided he's a M/F and get a hefty discount of course.

Problem with Rocky at Port is he was the number one clearance player in the league after the byes.
At Port he has Wines, Boak, Wingard, Gray, SPP to compete with.
I understand that clearances don't score points but IMO a lot of the scaling goes to the guys who get the ball out as it isn't worth points, CD just scale points their way. (Priddis, Rocky, Adams, Parker etc)

Can Rocky still get 40 touches and 5 tackles at Port?
I see him as a 50/50 MID/FWD with Sexy Robbie but being MID selectable only.
Add in the injury and the unknown and its a PASS IMO.

I have a solution... Dont pick Rocky and start with beams.
Rich was tagged mostly followed by zorko.
Injury risk yes but this guy seriously scores when fit

 

[Huttabito]

This has got me interested, wants to move for more midfield time.

 

[Daniel McL]

Apparently Adam Saad will also nominate Essendon this trade period.

If Essendon get Smith, Stringer & Saad that's a f*ckin good effort.

Also with Saad joining does that allow McGrath to move into the midfield with Saad taking over his small defender role?

 

[Huttabito]

This could dampen Witherden across the half-back.

So Witherden plays mid

Mcgrath will be playing either way but yes he is the logical replacement if the trade happens.

I'm not interested in Saad aha I'm interested in McGrath Could he do a Clayton Oliver 2nd year season?

oops was meant to say he will be playing midfield either way. I doubt he will be having a breakout season like that.

Guns and premo rookies all the way

What I Want To Do: Guns & Premo Rookies

What I'll End Up Doing: Picking every cheap injury-prone player returning

I have a love affair with guy, absolutely love the way he goes about it. Would love him at the Pies

If he's wearing red and black, and has a full preseason, I'll strongly consider him in my forward line at ~$430k

Would be a lock if promised mid time at any club. Bombers more so with there retirees. Dpp and as you said full pre season he's a lock

He won't get DPP unfortunately, he played pretty much 100% forward this year, so he'll be a FWD only. But nonetheless, still enticing

 

[stevebbb]

The trio of Sydney mids will be unders for their potential and will all look good at the mid $500k range

Hanners ~$530k


Parker ~$535k


JPK ~$540k

Thing I don't get with Sydney is that their highest posession getter leaves and those 3 flogs turn to s**t.

Would look at JPK but would need at 110 average to make it worth it another wise he would just be another 500k plodder stuck at M8 all year.

Hopefully 70-80%Midfield time and listed as a fwd.

What were they averaging when they stunk up the first 6 rounds? Any significant difference?


Regardless, I'll be staying away and waiting to see which one is the top dog next year. I've never got it right when trying to pick a starting Sydney premo mid.

Average over the first 6 weeks vs the last 16:
Hanners: 90.8 | 99.9
Parker: 98 | 102
JPK: 103.8 | 102

Hannebery actually averaged 105.5 between rounds 3-6 if you exclude the first two rounds when he was supposedly a bit sore. Has to be a reason for the significant drop off this year since they only averaged 100-102 over the period of 14 wins/2 losses. One player is an outlier, all three is a trend.

Robbie Gray has testicular cancer so scratch him as a M/F. Sort of glad in a way. Too much variance between his best and worst.

 

[croweyrocks]

"Sort of glad" carn!
Rest up Robbie! Hopefully his health comes back to 100%!
