NAB Challenge Discussion

Gerard Healy is more suited to commentating the WWE than AFL.

Him and Derrwayne

Six touches, wouldn't start polishing Charlie

Boy, rookies are harder to come by than a bishop that doesn't protect bad people!

 

[SC fish]

Shaw back in my team

 

[Goats]

For anyone who was thinking about Tippet FWD/RUC combo, you can pretty much forget it. Is terrible.

If you were considering him, you're either aware that he'll throw up a stinker every few weeks or you're a sheep.

I brought in Ward 2nd half last year and was planning the same this year but he might be seriously under-priced.

M4 for me!

WHy is he underpriced?

Consistency an issue. I had him for the majority of last season.

IF I was going a mid pricer in defense id be looking at Zach Williams over Sheridan/Loners

Mid rookies are like ****ing hens teeth

Because we've seen what he's capable of but there's just been the issue of consistency. Not a lot required for him to step up to the 110+ bracket, just ironing out those games where he goes missing. He looks hungry, entering his prime and his team is ready to take the next step: could be his year.

Papley...?

Do Swans have any genuine small fwds?

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

So Mills huh? Talk to me people, I've only seen highlights of the SJ show..

 

[pulpdriver]

Game probably made me think more about the guys who could be value picks: Parker, Greene, Ward, Buddy all looking like picks that could potentially be great value. Just gives us more to consider with no real answers.

For definitives, Shaw looks set to continue from last year (avoid at your own peril), Also really liked what Mills showed. Two impressive NAB games and now looking like a must have rookie.

I didn't always see him as Sydney have 1,000,000 blonde-haired nuggety types, but he played across the half back and you'd imagine will be used there even when McVeigh and others return.

I think that's a good position for him to be in, will take the 6th forward and be encouraged to create.
Tackles hard and not afraid to put his body in.

Pretty much a typical swans player really.

Well, the team around him is one more year ready. hmmmm pass ATM, although his price is tempting considering how expensive all the rookies are

That's probably the clincher. ATM every rookie that looks able to start the year is high priced and being able to get value on every line will add up. If choosing a Parker/Ward over a Pendles/Hannebery allows you to get a similar score and spend a little more to improve your rookies could be a big win for your team.

Parker bandwagon wheels just burst.

Not convinced. (Altho people have questioned my judgement before... )

Some of his decision-making and disposal wasn't great, which we've all been lead to believe is his strong suit.

Yes, sure, Swans need running HB's (esp. with McVeigh out), but there's a genuine chance that Mills isn't very good at it...

Likely to get a game, but @ $200k+, hardly must have, imho.

Guy is a gun.


Anyone got the SC scores?

He will play, which at this point makes him pretty close to a must have

I won't pretend I'm any authority, but I'm struggling to see other rookies at this point I can lock in to play games and make money. We still have 2 more weeks of NAB and the round 1 teams announcement but not a lot of the cheaper priced rookies filling me with a lot of confidence to play regularly or score reasonably. Hoping that changes because rookies who aren't earning money are useless.

If griff had DPP he would a option.

Griff could have DEF/MID/RUCK/FWD/BENCH swing and still wouldn't be an option.

So shit, hope there are a couple of massive standouts on the weekend and people jump off just as fast.

Yeah, annoying. Team selection % will skyrocket now.

Yep heard it. Chomping on chocolates. Doesn't seem fussed but my confidence is shot.
