nah nah nah

the discussion threads are all steves!!!! wouldnt dare to touch those!

 

[cdcanman]

Is it possible GC roll with all of Bowes, Brodie and Ainsworth come Rd1? That's a lot of kids when they are really trying to take steps forward.
Barlow could genuinely be a bargain keeper in my opinion. Can see him attending a bunch of centre bounces for them.

Other take out from today is that NM could be a great source of rookies this year. The side they pick for Rd 1 is going to be extremely telling for us SC'ers. Are they genuinely embracing rebuild and the kids? Still hell bent on winning at all costs? Or somewhere in between?

We lost 1700 games of experience or something ridiculous, which means plenty of opportunities for kids.

EVW & Hibberd the pick of the bunch for now and should start R1... Durdin should play most of the year I would think also.

Simpkin will be great, but I think he'll come in later as a downgrade due to an interrupted pre season coming off a broken leg.

Saw a bit of the Q3 today and Durdin wasn't that prevelant but his score suggests he must have been pretty good for the rest of the match.
Where did he predominantly play? Role going forward? How'd he rack up his points today?

He's played CHB or even FB at times. Doesn't get a heap but seems to play in front and intercept a bit due to his great athleticism.

Interesting to see where he settles. Played his best junior footy as a mobile ruckman, but obviously unlikely to get that opportunity at NM, and maybe not suited at AFL level anyhow.
You're certainly right about him being a great athlete. Excellent speed and agility for a man of that size.
Could all of EVW, Durdin and Hibberd play Rd1? Or too much to ask?
Hibberd and EVW pretty similar

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

Just saw JOM's 2nd quarter goal from the boundary!

Well shit, that kid can play! That was an amazing kick

 

[Significant]

Well after today, Murphy and KK out, Docherty and Brodie in! No more mid price madness!

Hibberd will play wing mostly as he has a good tank and usually rakes up the footy.

I think there is a strong chance all 3 line up R1.

 

[Pykie]

Thoughts on Simpkin?

Preuss worries me with Goldy

Simpkin is a jet, would of probably gone close to top 5 without his leg.

He moves like a cat, a lot like Cyril in that respect, makes every possession count.

I think he had 3 score assists in about 30% TOG.

Will be a SC machine in 4-5 years.

 

[Jiska]

maybe, but look at it this way

WTF do Norf have

EFA

 

[Jiska]

I believe so but it isn't definitive yet, you? Notched up a lazy 91 in only 65% odd tog.

I'm on board with your R2 from last year

 

[Jiska]

I want Brodie bad, but too expensive

Who?

 

[TheOz]

Not liking the emergence of Archie Smith up there. Gawnstein this season is actually cheaper than the start of last season.

 

[TheOz]

Who?

Will Brodie, Gold Coast rookie, $175k, scored 97 today.

So I've been compiling a bit of a spreadsheet over the JLT series, I know mid pricers in SC are generally considered very risky, but I just wanted to put some names out there to see how people are feeling about them. Not necessarily picking them myself, but there's a few who have started their 2017 campaigns off in solid form. I'll throw in some rookies worth discussing too. Comment on all, comment on none, comment on one or comment on some, share your thoughts

*all stats and TOG% are averages*

DEFENDERS
Zak Jones - 307k - 114 SC - 84% TOG - Has only played the one game so far, but would anyone consider him if he had a 90+ average from his 3 JLT games?
Zach Tuohy - 443k - 130 SC - 90% TOG - Again, just the one game so far, but can Tuohy become one of many names that we've seen come to a new club and reach a new level?
Christian Salem - 379k - 86 SC - 70.5% TOG - Melbourne on the rise, only played 8 games last year for an average of 69.75, but still yet to really breakout. Could 2017 be the year?
Robert Murphy - 392k - 52 SC - 87% TOG - One game for the Dogs, one game for Bob. Had a 103 average from 3 games before his injury last year. Anyone backing him to get back to premium status?
Michael Hibberd - 402k - 58 SC - 77% TOG - Didn't play JLT 1, a bit quiet in JLT 2. Was a quality player pre-ban, new club now, should be fresh, worth a shot?
Callum Mills - 420k - 111 SC - 80% TOG - Will he go to another level this year after an excellent debut season, or will it be second year blues?

MIDFIELDERS - Looking at some names that aren't Swallow, JOM, Beams or Murphy.
Will Brodie - 175k - 75 SC - 73% TOG - Lock?
Mitch Hibberd - 123k - 51.5 SC - 78.5% TOG - Lock? DPP status.
Clayton Oliver - 382k - 102 SC - 69.5% TOG - Tonned up twice from 2 games. Awkward price though. Anyone?
Dom Sheed - 267k - 91.5 SC - 73% TOG - Interesting one here. Spent 84% of time on the ground in JLT 1, but then Priddis, Shuey and Mitchell came back and he only played 64%. Still scored 92.
Michael Barlow - 533k - 111 SC - 78% TOG - Always been a prolific ball winner, and now he's moved clubs. They need him to fill the void left by JOM and Prestia, so if fit, should play all 22. Anyone?
Jobe Watson - 453k - 93 SC - 65.5% TOG - Lock?

RUCKS - Thoughts on structure? Set and forget 2 premiums? 1 premo 1 mid price? 1 premo 1 rookie?
Braydon Preuss - 123k - 82.5 SC - 75% TOG - Anyone starting with him? Despite the good start, he's still not their number 1.
Toby Nankervis - 366k - 89 SC - 72% TOG - Toby should be number 1. Unless Maric reinvents himself drastically, or Hampson puts serious pressure on, Nankervis should be number 1 all year.
Daniel Currie - 338k - 94 SC - 66.5% TOG - Played JLT 1 with Witts, JLT 2 with Brooskby. Scored 90's in both. Not sure who the number1 is at GC, with Nicholls also another contesting for a spot.

FORWARDS
Isaac Heeney - 433k - 100 SC - 81% TOG - Ready to reach the next level?
Chad Wingard - 439k - 100 SC - 85% TOG - Been a popular pick, goes big and then has a rough one. Thoughts?
Elliott Yeo - 409k - 91 SC - 76.5% TOG - Never had Yeo in my side. What are others experiences with him?
Christian Petracca - 395k - 111 SC - 70% TOG - A seriously good player, dangerous price though. Anyone risking it?
Nathan Hrovat - 301k - 89 SC - 74.5% TOG - Another player at a new club. Seems refreshed and should be given opportunity. Yes or No?

Just to give you all a glimpse of what I'm looking at, heres a screenshot of the spreadsheet I slaved over lol.

 

[La Dispute]

I'd add Dumont - averaging 100+ over his 2.

What did Touk Miller score yesterday?

Didn't see the agme, nut did he spend much time in the midfield?

Not great. Hopefully he didn't spend much time through the midfield
