Opinion 2022 Player X vs Y vs Z

[keithrichards]

I know it’ll have been asked prior, but am getting cold feet on this selection…

Brodie vs Xerri

and why?

Brodie

Can't see much ruck time for Xerri with Goldstein & CCJ playing. He's no good as a forward.

 

[Me Myself and I]

For D8. SDK D7.

Worner (non-playing spud) v NOD (should get games).
Not concerned about the 20k price difference.

Xerri -rucks score better than spuds

NOD - but don't pick him expecting games, it may never happen.

 

[Hack_Watts]

I’d go the first option. Rate berry as easily the best of the 4.



Mead v Hough v Soligo

Hough. Probably gets Mid/Def DPP

Brodie

Xerri will gets lots of ruck time

Certainly hasn't been picked as a fwd
That experiment failed badly

 

[BlueMarsh]

Rowell and Ridley
Rowell has so much Clarry in him it’s ridiculous and Ridley is a top 6 defender

Yeh went with Rowell and Ridley and I think structure wise it makes sense as I see out of them vs Cripps/Hewett, Ridley potentially the only/most likely to be best 6/8 in his line but jeez as a blues supporter it hurt to see Hewett and Cripps scores last night!

 

[Deliverance]

I know it’ll have been asked prior, but am getting cold feet on this selection…

Brodie vs Xerri

and why?

Both have risk around lack of positional flexibility in their team. Xerri, purely on price. Or coin flip.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Brayshaw (freo) + Berry vs Touk + 117k mid rookie.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Brayshaw (freo) + Berry vs Touk + 117k mid rookie.

Touk

 

[DGroover]

Tarry Thomas, berry and Sicily
Vs
Heeney, dstephens and crisp

Berry gives me a bit more grunt in the midfield and I like Thomas over Heeney, just worried Sicily isn’t going to be top 6 def and I don’t want to waste a trade upgrading him end of year

Since I decided to go four rolled gold premos + Hewett in defence, it's been Luke Ryan, then this week it's been Jordan Ridley

, now that teams are out I'm almost swinging back to Ryan. It's doing my head in.

Ryan
Pros:

• Won't have to play tall this year with Freo's KPD stocks healthy
• Draw – Adelaide, St Kilda, WC first three, has a big scoring history against each and minimal big forwards to contend with
• Has averaged 107 in the past (albeit in the shortened games, so can't put too much emphasis on it I suppose)
• POD (8.8%)
• Less reliant on contested marking than Ridley, kicks the ball more and takes more uncontested marks, which means his floor should be slightly higher

Cons:

• History of niggles, has only played a full season once. Always risky with a POD
• With Chapman, Young and Clark, there's seagulls/rebounders galore in the Freo back half

Ridley
Pros:

• Essendon have brought in Kelly, which should free him up some more
• Can still score well with lower possession games, seems a bit of a CD darling
• Semi-POD (22%)
• Seems a bit more durable than Ryan
• Slightly underpriced due to injury affected game

Cons:

• Can be affected by role, and Kelly is still not a true KPD, so may have to play on talls some weeks
• Draw – Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne first three. Geelong game in particular is a worry, as he may need to play on a KPF

Anyone want to pull me in the direction of either?

stevebbb this is what we expect from you in the trade threads now. The bar has been lifted.

Ridley for me, Ryan likely to get covid soon.

If you’re able to take on the injury risk with Ryan I would go him, purely my personally opinion/gut feel but I think he scores more than Ridley.

2020 averages aren't reliable, as you mentioned, so I wouldn't take too much from it. He managed to play 17/17 games though, which is a good sign.

I'd go Ridley though. I was not keen on Ridley because of the Heppell/Hind/Redman factor, add Zerrett and McGrath spending time at half back. But he's going to intercept, and seagull, and take kick-ins. Clearly had some lingering issues after the KO last year. Also had photographed in training with his knee heavily strapped and hardly running. Start of 2021 Ridley compared to mid-end 2021 Ridley was night and day, looked shite later in the year. But I've come around and he's in my side. I'm fully expecting start of 2021 form. Most kick-ins and a heap of intercept marks.

17/17 played in 2020 and then 21/22 played in 2021, with a forced concussion the only out, he is more durable it seems. Ridley for me, just.

Hall vs Ridley and some cash for potential adjustments.

Pretty set on Hall, but the extra money saved will leave me with 45k in the bank for any corrections.

A little bit worried about Xerri and would like the flexibility to turn him into a Brodie type if he goes mental, only way I can realistically see me doing it is with a <567k defender.

Other option is to downgrade Stephens > Owens or Baldwin > Dixon/Martin but not toooooo keen on that.

I think people are forgetting how young Ridley is
Still only 23
Seemingly has more upside to me and natural progression to get to 105
And is durable missing 1 game over the last 2 years to concussion which also dropped his average under 100 last year

Hall injury interrupted pre season
High risk/reward

I like Ridley and think he’s a 105 guy this year and will play 22 games

 

[Galah Lips]

Whitfield or save 50k and get sicily? The ball will be in hawks backline all year and hes designated kicker. Whit is soft as butter and will get injured. But if he explodes and I miss it will hurt because of his high ownership %

Is Sic the designated kick out guy? They seem to share it around.

Whitfield will average 10 more then sic dog this year imo minimum

Go whit

Not necessarily taking kickouts but they try and get it in his hands because he kicks it 60m straight to a target.

 

[Chrissybabes]

Brodie vs JHF

Brodie has dpp but is ~20k more hmm

 

[Hava Alle]

Sort of stuffed up my squad.

Option 1: Stewart + Steele/Touk + Donut (De Koning on ground)
Option 2: Whitfield + Ridley + Rowell.

And if Option 2, who do I trade out of Touk and Steele? And remembering option 2 gives me 30 green dots.
