DT 2011 Backs Thread

[Hu$tler]

Surely Bruce is tempting some?

 

[Artax]

Too hard to know if he's going to cop tagging jobs or be used as a sweeper

Ha thats awesome

Also says in the article that Hargrave will be ready last game of NAB or round 1 - surely back on the radar now??

Also i dont see any room for Malceski in the midfield, at best he will be on the wings but i expect Mcveigh and Hanneberry to control those spots next year. Goodes, Shaw, ROK, Jetta also to rotate through the middle

How he got that job is beyond me

 

[Joshen]

I actually feel sorry for the people he's leading astray.

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

Im going to apply for it next year, hand in a resume.

You'll lead them even more astray

Plus VS won't be happy about everyone making multiple teams

But seriously anyone on here could do better than that clown

Must admit that was the exact reply i was expecting.

Just thought I'd drop in a smokey suggestion for consideration. Callum Wilson in the backline.

The way he finished last year was pretty solid and its likely his role will continue as a key forward for the Budgies.

He's priced well below his average with a 40% FF discount which may not transfer to the real DT pricing. At around $180k-ish he's not super cheap but I believe he's highly likely to play the majority of their games.

He's a big strong bloke who is durable and mature bodied.

3 of his first 4 games are at home and he'll likely raise some decent coin overall, particularly if he can nudge the 70-odd average he had over the last few games of last year.

He seems to tick a lot of boxes but hasn't been mentioned.

Having said all that he's not currently in my team either but he is certainly worth a thought I reckon. Have at it...

 

[Jars458]

What do people think about Paul Bower. I think if he can stay fit he has plenty of upsdie and will be a very good footballer. Would that convert into dreamt eam points though?

Last three years I have had Adcock. Is he worth the risk with his injury problems.

I have him in my fwd line but I must say you're the only other person I've seen mention his name!!!

If the WC mids can give him some half decent delivery (a big if I know!) I think he could be FF all year and kick 50m goals. Takes a good grab and is also good below his knees so should have no prob getting to 75avg and either making us over $100k or being a handy 8th/9th fwd/back.

May make mine as well, and the f/d allocation just about seals it.

One to watch.

We all do, when Phil Davis is the most popular defender we'll know why.

Ratten on Diugan, Watson, Yarran and others after the intra-club. Looks like Yarran will be played off a half back flank next year which makes him interesting.

Ben Jacobs Port's number 16 pick has glandular fever which will probably means he is a doubtful starter for round 1. Also means if he does break in he will be most likely used as a sub.

Bower has never really played 22 games a year consistently but for his price, could be a great pick up.

 

[XPISTO]

What's everyone's opinion on Craig Bolton? I think I saw some news about him recently but can't remember what for, maybe captaincy related? Anyways, at his price he could be a good cash-cow...

too old, on the decline.

 

[Benatration]

I know alot of people have been turned of by Cameron Bruce possibley being a tagger - but in the intra-club match he apartently played on the ball most of the match. Is anyone else thyinking about him? Puopolo was impressive too

 

[Lakey91]

Taggers generally do play on the ball a fair bit....

haha. Walked into that one

But I dont think when he was on the ball today he was tagging anyone

 

[Lakey91]

Was he on mitchells side? If so, who would he tag then - particularly with hodge and rioli out? Might have just been getting a feel for things in the guts.

True....and intra-club games would be the time to try players our in a different role too.
