Are They For Real?

[grimlock]

The following players have made a big jump from last year. Can they maintain their current rate? Are they for real or are they a flash in the pan? Discuss.

Nathan Bock (ADE) 101.50
Chris Knights (ADE) 95.00
Jed Adcock (BRL) 101.50
Jared Brennan (BRL) 116.50
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) 93.50
Andrew Walker (CAR) 97.00
Jason Winderlich (ESS) 93.50
Nathan Ablett (GEE) 92.00
Danny Jacobs (HAW) 98.50
Jordan Lewis (HAW) 94.00
Clinton Young (HAW) 108.50
Aaron Fiora (STK) 113.00
Craig Bolton (SYD) 100.00
Peter Everitt (SYD) 95.00
Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) 101.00
Nick Malceski (SYD) 101.00

 

[grimlock]

Here's my thoughts on some of the players:

Nathan Bock (ADE) - For Real
Injuries to Hentschel and McGregor will mean he will spend time up forward and kick goals.

Jed Adcock (BRL) - For Real
Was severely underpriced at the start but this is a bonus. Playing across half back will score lots.

Jared Brennan (BRL) - Not Real
Very inflated numbers thus far. Will be interesting to see how he goes against some gun forwards.

Michael Rischitelli (BRL) - For Real
Lethal says a future All-Australian. I think he could be AA this year.

Jason Winderlich (ESS) - For Real
Sheedy favourite. Will be given plenty of opportunities.

Craig Bolton (SYD) - Not Real
Like the other Sydney players, stats a bit inflated by the Richmond game. With LRT out, I can't see him keeping this pace.

Peter Everitt (SYD) - Not Real
Roos has shown he's splitting game time almost 50-50 with Jolly. Even Superman couldn't keep this up with that little game time.

Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) - Not Real
Has never been a profilic ball winner, numbers will drop.

Nick Malceski (SYD) - For Real
This guy is a gun, and with Crouch out he has a solid position in the 18. Playing out of half back and well known for his kicking he will rack up the numbers this year.

Nathan Bock (ADE) 101.50 No
Chris Knights (ADE) 95.00 No
Jed Adcock (BRL) 101.50 Yes
Jared Brennan (BRL) 116.50 No
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) 93.50 Yes
Andrew Walker (CAR) 97.00 Yes

Peter Everitt (SYD) 95.00 Yes
Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) 101.00 No
Nick Malceski (SYD) 101.00 Yes

Adcock and Riscitelli have really stepped up as they have had to with the departures of Voss and Aker. They are going to be able to continue this form.

Andy Walker was always going to come good it was just a matter of when.

Jordan Lewis IMO is a bit like a Bartel. He will have a lot of tackles and average around the 25 touches a games which will keep the scores.

Everitt is a 95 player, just had a poor year last year and Malceski is going to be a star of the competion.

Chris Knights (ADE) 95.00 Jury still out
Jed Adcock (BRL) 101.50 Definately
Jared Brennan (BRL) 116.50 Jury still out
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) 93.50 Yes, but don't expect consistency as he's still developing
Andrew Walker (CAR) 97.00 Yes
Jason Winderlich (ESS) 93.50 Jury still out
Nathan Ablett (GEE) 92.00 Jury still out
Danny Jacobs (HAW) 98.50 Won't keep up that scoring if Hawthorn play like they did against Melbourne
Jordan Lewis (HAW) 94.00 Yes
Clinton Young (HAW) 108.50 Yes, but will drop off from these levels
Aaron Fiora (STK) 113.00 Yes, but will drop off from these levels
Craig Bolton (SYD) 100.00 Yes, but will drop off from these levels

Nick Malceski (SYD) 101.00 Yes, but will drop off from these levels

My thoughts.

 

[Butane]

I suppose the answer is. No to basically all of them, none of those players will average what they are now at the end of the season. But of course, some will maintain their form and drop slightly.

Great Thread.

Grimlock - is this a spin off from the NBA Fantasy site?

The following players have made a big jump from last year. Can they maintain their current rate? Are they for real or are they a flash in the pan? Discuss.

Nathan Bock (ADE) 101.50 In my team already
Chris Knights (ADE) 95.00
Jed Adcock (BRL) 101.50 In my team already
Jared Brennan (BRL) 116.50 Under consideration, maybe he will finally realise his potential
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) 93.50 In my team already
Andrew Walker (CAR) 97.00 In my team already
Jason Winderlich (ESS) 93.50
Nathan Ablett (GEE) 92.00
Danny Jacobs (HAW) 98.50
Jordan Lewis (HAW) 94.00
Clinton Young (HAW) 108.50
Aaron Fiora (STK) 113.00
Craig Bolton (SYD) 100.00 In my team already
Peter Everitt (SYD) 95.00 In my team already
Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) 101.00
Nick Malceski (SYD) 101.00 Wouldn't mind having him

You also forgot to include Rodan and Kosi, they're in my team too. Naturally I have confidence in the ones I've already selected but I'm not too sure about the rest.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

People have to remember that Chris Knights is a ball magnet.

He had the most amount of possesions per minute than anyone else in the AFL last year, the only reason he didnt score too well was because he was slowly being introduced to AFL footy. This year, with the Crows needing to develop their youth he will get alot more game time.

Bock, as mentioned above will be the focal point up forward all year for the Crows, if he does start to struggle he will be moved back to CHB where he supplies plenty of run. I do not have him as a forward in my DT but as a backman and he has proved very handy so far.

 

[Bond.ShaneBond]

Nathan Bock (ADE) 101.50 YES. Must have with him being the crows main man up front and under-priced from last years avg
Chris Knights (ADE) 95.00 YES. Prolific ball winner and may be getting the required time on ground. Was this close to getting him but got priddis instead
Jed Adcock (BRL) 101.50 YES. GUN. Liking him floating around half back and was beautifully under-priced.
Jared Brennan (BRL) 116.50 NO. Just so frustrating and will be interesting if he is made accountable in upcoming weeks. Sydney will be the ultimate test.
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) 93.50 YES. Continuing NAB cup form and is in his 3rd-ish year. Will explode!
Andrew Walker (CAR) 97.00 YES. Given a good role for DT and this is his year to fulfill the potential.
Jason Winderlich (ESS) 93.50 Havent seen a Essendon game this year but word is he may explode like jobe did last year
Nathan Ablett (GEE) 92.00 NO. Every geelong player did well last week, see how he goes against a competent side
Danny Jacobs (HAW) 98.50 NO. Brisbane appears to have been a once-off and will not rack up 150 again this year
Jordan Lewis (HAW) 94.00 YES. 3rd year and is ready to step up. Im keeping him all year!
Clinton Young (HAW) 108.50 YES. Another 3rd year Hawk who should avg 80+ by seasons end
Aaron Fiora (STK) 113.00 Jury's out. New coach, new role, new dt star? You would have to be ballsy to take the punt on the soft as sponges saint...
Craig Bolton (SYD) 100.00 NO. History would suggest the Richmond game was a flash in the pan
Peter Everitt (SYD) 95.00 NO. TOG is a huge worry as is the WCE performance. Owning young ruckmen is noting to be proud of. Too old, too unfit. 2005 is just a memory
Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) 101.00 NO. Like Bolton, will struggle to keep this up for long. Especially when they get back on the SCG and there is less room for the Irishman to run.
Nick Malceski (SYD) 101.00 YES. Class act who is ready for the 3rd year EXPLOSION!

 

[betterthanu]

Knights and Bock are Def the real deal for Adelaide. I think Brennens new role for Brisbane is perfect for a dream teamer plus hes kick happy rather than handball and takes marks.

 

[Juddy88]

Nathan Bock (ADE) Yes- havent seen either of the adelaide games but to go by what people are saying he seems to be a gun (has been for me so far )
Chris Knights (ADE) -? havent seen
Jed Adcock (BRL) -Yes - looks a likely type to run with the ball and clean up accross half back.
Jared Brennan (BRL) NO- seems to have alays been very inconsistent, think of his debut. hasnt done alot after that up untill now.
Michael Rischitelli (BRL) Yep - looks to be a superstar in the making has very sikly skills
Andrew Walker (CAR) Yes again a very good debut but not alot since then- have to wait and see
Jason Winderlich (ESS) ? - not really sure ?
Nathan Ablett (GEE)Yes- well.. he's an ablett so he must be alright. said to be better than gary when he was drafted
Danny Jacobs (HAW) No - has never collected much ball and IMO will continue that way if Hawks play liek they did against Melbourne. if they chip around alot and play useless footy like round 1 he's a chance.
Jordan Lewis (HAW)? not sure.. havent seen alot ?
Clinton Young (HAW)Yes - Looks to have good skills, and knows where to go to find the ball. Laid a few good tackles with 3rd and 4th efforts on Monday. Coming off the rookie list at the start of last years seems a good score for hawks.
Aaron Fiora (STK) No? - Has always been a little underrated. Yet to prove alot. Maybe its his year?
Craig Bolton (SYD) - 50/50 All Australian last year. Very underrated. Unsure if he will continue racking possesions up. Was unrealiable for DT last year.
Peter Everitt (SYD) Yes - 2 years ago at Hawks he was right up there all season for DT points. Dont see why he cant again. Unless like grimlock said he is spilt 50/50. He still may play up forward when he's not in the ruck. His age could be a worry.
Tadhg Kennelly (SYD) Yes- Great skills, dont see why he can't continue his form. Loves to run, cleans up around half back alot. Recieves a few one-twos a game. and handballs around back flank
Nick Malceski (SYD) Yes - Great skills from what ive seen. Another back flanker. can go about his buisness quietly at times.

Good discussion.

Here's a few more:

Sam POWER (WBD) 88.50
David RODAN (PTA) 85.50
Scott PENDLEBURY (COL) 84.50
Xavier CLARKE (STK) 81.50
Matthew PRIDDIS (WCE) 72.00

Really looking at these 2 when i trade johncock. Also gilbee and 1aw

 

[banana_bus]

Good discussion.

Here's a few more:

Sam POWER (WBD) 88.50 - havent seen enough of him
David RODAN (PTA) 85.50 - will average 50
Scott PENDLEBURY (COL) 84.50 - looks the goods
Xavier CLARKE (STK) 81.50 - had a bad week last week but looks solid
Matthew PRIDDIS (WCE) 72.00 - in my team from the start, 108 with 61% game time, please give him more woosha!!

read bold

 

[Juddy88]

Sam POWER (WBD) ?. Once again haven't seen HEAPS of him. wouldn't call him a superstar but he slots nicely into the bulldogs lineup. Could also say he's underrated
David RODAN (PTA) 50/50 - Yet to prove alot really except for a few games and a few flashes of brilliance. Injuries aswell have cost him at richmond.
Has to be his year this year, to show what most know he can
Scott PENDLEBURY (COL) Yes - Only really saw him for the first time on sat against Eagles, seemed to be everywhere, looks athletic, good size, nice boot on him, he could definetly remain in the 80s.
Xavier CLARKE (STK) Yes - Riddled by injury throughout his career. Has great skills and if he stays injury free could confidentaly say he will stay around the 80s. Runs well but has been known to run out of legs late in the game
Matthew PRIDDIS (WCE) - Yes - Another likely type, dominated in the WAFL in his timie winning the Sandover medal by the biggest margain in history, while still playin 2 games for the eagles that season. In those 2 games he impressed me with his capacity to run and find space, has a good left boot.
Looks to be a player of the future for West coast

 

[The_Gunny_Bomber]

And a couple more:

McPhee: I think he will really step up this year and be one of the top scoring dt backmen. His role is perfect for racking up dt points
Fletcher: seems to be benefiting greatly from having big Mal around. Can he keep it up? There is no denying he is a gun player but can he be a gun dream teamer?

I must be missing something.
What are the figures next to each players name? I assumed they were ave points scored after two rounds of Supercoach but I checked and they are not.

 

[Buckley is ripped]

How about Van Berlo ???? What are peoples thoughts of him ????

Its the Dream Team averages.

 

[Dee UK]

Getting back to Peter Everitt.

I have him in my team (which this year doesn't say much) and he has been in the past a 'top draw' dreamteamer.

But i read somewhere after the weekends game the Paul Roos came out and mentioned that he didn't expect Spider to play that sort of role every week, which may mean he may run a bit hot and cold throughout the season in terms of big scores.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

How about Van Berlo ???? What are peoples thoughts of him ????

Gun player but I dont think he is a good DT'er, not really a huge possesion winner, does more of the one %ers that do not count on here.

Not in my side and I love the bloke.
