I’ve got a feeling Petracca is going up another level this year.

how many more levels can someone go. does he learn to fly this off season?

 

[mochacinolatte]

that was being said last year around this time too

last year was shambles like many other years, i swear this year will be different

I’ve got a feeling Petracca is going up another level this year.

Assuming "another level" would be an average of 120+ (which has already been mentioned as an expected average by other posters keen on Tracc).

Looking at history. How many SC players have gone up to another level in their 7th season/26th year? Not many I think.

Play the game with your head not your heart. For mine Petracca has less than a 5% chance of going up another level. He's a M5 or M6 in a good SC team and that's what he will stay in 2022.

Here's his averages (remembering that 2020 short quarters was particularly beneficial to his style).

At least he doesn't miss many games.

 

[Lord De Goey]

The only way he can really go up another level is if his disposal efficiency improves

And that's why I'm considering Lyons at M3, so consistent he'll be a POD all year. Just not sure about having him and Neale.

That could say 97 for Jack Macrae

Yeah, 51% kick efficiency and second in the league for clangers, two things CD will rub you royally the wrong way for.
Huge CP numbers beef up his scores but I actually do think he can go to another level.

I didn't realise Lyons was 30.
Think I may have missed the boat on this one.

Comparing 2021 v 2019 (full game time) ......biggest factor against Lyons is his DE 65.8%

Scoring for Lyons was 115 v 110 .....so only a 5 point increase, by Lyons, with an average season from Neale

Ave of 6.4 tackles to Lyons in 2021 ....that was a 50% increase on 2019

Always seems to tackle a lot when I watch him, really helps scoring with those +4's.

I'm not sure Neale's anticipated improvement effects him much, he might get the defensive role at CBA's so tackle numbers should still be good, and this new interpretation can only help players with high tackle counts. Rayner and Bailey probably won't stop him either.

Reckon he's as safe as a pick gets at that price.

Might have just talked myself into picking him lol.

Probably 5 points over-priced ....I had Lyons in AFL Fantasy & was one of my best decisions .....2021 his Fantasy ave was higher than his SC ave .....so like Taranto IMO they're better Fantasy players due to that disposal DE

All the SP mids are over-priced at the start of the season though. I just like his consistency. Doesn't have stinkers, so others can't trade him in easily.

Starting price for this guy this year $699,900. Why the $30k increase? SC gods suck

Not sure how the magic number compares to last year, but it seems about the same as usual?

35 trades got me so keen on Jelly…

Forget about Lyons.

McCluggage is your man.

With zorko out of the mid luggage probably be taking the piss

 

[Dark Sharks]

All my picks are starting to look too Cookie Cutter.

I just know I'm going to need to pull a large chol move and start Cripps or go Pruess and Witts in the ruck to make things more exciting.

 

[Blackhawk42]

That glorious chin.

Saw him at Kittens once.

Can't post this in the 'most boring AFL player sightings' thread because seeing big Dean Brogan at the rippers isn't boring at all.

Not just that, but he’s at the stage of his career where he’ll look to take the next step. Mitch Robinson has said the same multiple times the past few months. Ready for a big one.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I haven't gone back through this thread so apologies if it's been mentioned already.

Tom Mitchell averaged 113 and 117 in 2020 and 2021 off the back of no pre-season. He broke his leg before 2019 and just made it back in time for round 1 of 2020. Then had a shoulder reco and missed all of the 2021 pre-season.

So far heading into season 2022 I believe he has completed every session, has looked unstoppable according to training watchers and appears to be in career best shape.

It remains to be seen how a new coach affects our midfield set up, but an early gut feel is that he can post a 120+ average this year much like his Brownlow season.

 

[bato]

Depends which Tom Mitchell shows up in 2022. The one that repeatedly handballs backwards and gains very little metres throughout a match, or the one that started playing more positive footy in the back half of the season?
