Best Forward under $400,000

[timbo3195]

I'm upgrading Cyril Rioli, and i don't have enough trades left to even think about trading down then up.

$404,100 to spend.
Options are:

S Grant
M Hahn
J Brennan
Q Lynch
S Welsh
L McPharlin
M Lloyd
T Cloke
A Yze
B Staker
A Rocca ($290,000 )

Opinions will be very appreciated

Should have got Steve Johnson last week.

Out of those, sheesh um...well maybe Lynchy has the most potential? It's a real crapshoot.
Grant - might be dropped on form this week.
Lloyd - I have him...and I'm not happy about it really.
Staker - inconsistent at best.
Rocca - struggling, too old.
Cloke - maybe...
Brennan - you don't get bonus points for doing crazy stuff with one hand.
Hahn - workmanlike...no idea really.
McPharlin - maybe.
Yze - getting on a bit, big risk.
Welsh - meh.

I'd rank them...without much investigation...
Lynch
McPharlin
Cloke
then the rest.

Thanks mate
Lynch does seem to be the best option

 

[Hazey1977]

keep an eye out for Hentschel returning for Adelaide.

McPharlin's my pick out of that lot. Probably the most consistent, but with a little less max potential than a couple.

Brennen can post big scores and is improving his consistency, so could be a possibility.
Cloke is better than he has been showing but his scores are shocking this season. Rocca is carrying injuries and is apparently due to miss a couple. Could be Cloke's chance to pick up?
Don't mind Mitch Hahn.
I know a huge North fan who is very negative on S Grant. The 'story' is that he drinks far too much and is now half the player he used to be.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Lynch for sure. The Eagles aren't leaving him at FF for an entire game, rather throwing him into the ruck etc. so his scores are bound to be better than a full time forward.

Now that you mention it, the shagger does look a bit dishevelled these days. What is up with his hair? Too drunk to clean himself up in the mornin?

With those options you may as well just keep Cyril Rioli mate.

exactly the conclusion i came up with for my team.
cyril's a better option then all of those mentioned above.

Was about to say the same thing.

Has nearly doubled his clanger count in the last 2 weeks! (Had 10 total in 9 rounds...7 in last 2), and has also kick 0.3 in that time.

Not getting any less of the ball (only had 2 games all season over 14 possies!!), and still tackling well...so I wouldn't give up on him just yet.
No reason he can't av. 70-80 from here...

(interesting to see that in all 4 games that he's kicked 2 or more goals, he's had 100+ SC points!)

 

[darcytiger]

I traded Cyril a couple of weeks ago for Brad Johnson, looks to be a good trade atm

 

[IDIG]

Same as above, they don't exactly seem like upgrades to me. I'm stuck with Rioli as my last forward myself. Has been terribly inconsistant of late, i'm holding onto the hope that he'll start posting some solid scores again.

 

[adam1302]

what about Fev, i would get him if i was in that situation.

 

[hendo8888]

keep an eye out for Hentschel returning for Adelaide.

or don't
still isn't match fit and won't have a huge role this year if he ever gets on the park

 

[timbo3195]

Yeah I should just keep him.
I already have Fev btw, my team is horrible

 

[Biggie]

Cyril, then Lynch.

Good luck.

If I were you I would wait a couple of weeks until Lucas hits that range and take him (provided Rioli's value doesn't drop too much in the meantime, which unfortunately appears likely).

Fortunately I've got the $$$ to upgrade Rioli to Franklin this week!
