Rockliff what are you doing

 

[Aishole]

I really like the look of cutler as a player. I think he'll be a great back flanker. Whether i have the balls to pick him or not, is another proposition.

Rockliff what are you doing

? Is he lazy, terrible or telling the crowd they are a pack of campaigners?

 

[TheOz]

Barrett, Pepper and Wigg, mid rookie deliciousness.

 

[Feerits Elf]

No doubt Beams will be this weekend's O'Meara.

What does this mean?

Stats

 

[TheOz]

Beams 67, Zorko 73, Barrett 63

English 58 vs Stef 8, lulz, another ruck rookie emerges.

And rightly so.

He's been in 15-20 per cent of teams all preseason, he's hardly an overnight sensation.

He doesn't get out of first gear in the pre-season. Never has. Even so watch him rack up the ball in the 2nd half.

Zorko ....stay away ppl's!

Totally different to JOM, he's a fallen premium, JOM is not and is much more of a speculative pick.

Think I have heat stroke, plz don't make it worse. haha!!

Zorko ....stay away ppl's!

He deserves to be considered as a genuine top 10 mid option. Here's what I said on my team's SC/DT board

Zorko, like all of 2016's highest scoring forwards, has lost his DPP. Despite this I've found myself still considering him as a midfield POD. Most of it is that I'm still not quite convinced we've seen the best of Zorko, despite coming off a career best year where he averaged 24 possessions, 6 tackles and a goal a game for average of 109 SC. He's durable, he kicks goals, racks up tackles and he's an important cog in our midfield being a point of difference that he's probably only guy we have there who can break lines. Despite all this there's a very good chance he's still likely to not be the first option for a tag. Even without Beams Zorko only received the hard tag once last year. He also represents a pretty safe pick in that whilst he does have huge scoring games his floor is actually quite high with only two scores under 90 last year (one of those scores being 86). I don't think there's a great deal of improvement left considering how good he was last year, win or loss, however as I said I think he still has room to grow and could easily push up to a 112-115 average by slotting a few more of those behinds through the big sticks or perhaps upping his possessions just a little. He'll be a ballsy pick in the midfield considering the other options around his price, but I think he's actually one of the safer PODs that represent a great return on investment.

I reckon he benefits more than Rocky for having Beams up and running

I think we have to improve. Logic telling me we will probably still struggle to get out of the bottom four and have be the sensible choice for spoon unfortunately. We are the youngest team in the league, we have a new coach and will be learning a new game plan and adhering to new structures which will take time. However, win or loss hasn't impacted Zorko's scoring so I don't see his score dropping even if we have another lacklustre year. However, if we improve ever so slightly and have Beams there for a majority of games then I think he has the scope to improve his average perhaps 5 points a game average. I'd say he's a pretty safe elite POD if you're looking for one.

edit: Thankfully, Bundy shouldn't be unavailable for too long.

I reckon you're spot on, mate.
