Player Comparison Thread - Part 2

[Athomas]

Lockyer + Pavlich + Rich
Vs
Mundy + Chapman + Higgins

Mixing around.

 

[buddymania]

These would be great SC options but IMO for DT you have better options for that price range.

I would prefer Gibbs, Pendelbury, Montagna, Knights, Van berlo, Lewis then any of the options you listed above.

Gibbs- already have
Pendlebury- already have
VB- injured (had him before injury, is at a bargain price with a game of 2)
Lewis- injured
Knights- dont know enough of, need to research

 

[Hodges]

Another postional choice:

Andy Otten vs Chris Yarran

I have Skipworth who can swap between mids/forwards, so its a choice between those two. Otten should play round 1, and I would expect a 55-60+ average. Not sure if he can keep his spot for enough rounds though.

Yarran should get a fair chance to play, so is a safer bet in that regard. Probably wont score as well though. Also has Garlett to deal with - same position and he is playing decently.

Any opinions on this one?

Athomas: Would go Rich, Mundy and someone around Chappies value. Not durable enough to be chosen at the start for mine.

 

[Waspy79]

why cant you see mcintosh improving on his 67 average from 2009?
do you know something we dont know



mcintosh is the #1 ruckman, no doubt at all about that
hale is a full forward
petrie will play chf/chb with some time in the ruck
petrie only rucked last year because H went down

seems like a lot of people are underrating mcintosh this year
as far as numbers go he was ahead of cox at the same age before his injury plagued 08

hes still very young in terms of ruckman and should be able to get back to his all australian squad form and better

has only played 50 odd games you would hope the big man has still got a bit of improvement left

There is little doubt about this, as Port offered pick four for him in last years draft so clearly he is still rated very highly and expected to come good.

Patrick Veszpremi and Nathan Krakouer? (Higgins a given)

Yeah, i reaise these guya are injured, but my point is that you may be better taking 1 of these guys and use a sub for a game or 2 rather then drafting a player into your team that really shouldnt be there.

These guys you mentioned above are in the price range where you would really be expecting them to be keepers. None of them are IMO. You can argue black and blue that they are keeper status but i beg to differ.

They'll just turn into an trade which could have been avoided.

Krakouer. Veszpremi's very overrated. People look at his 65 average and think he's underpriced, but including his two finals games his average drops to closer than 55. Plus Sydney are probably going to be crap this year and it's unlikely that a young small forward will be able to dominate in a crap forward line. On the other hand, Krakouer is probably best 22 now and playing across half back in a completely undefensive role with no chance at all of getting tagged is DT gold, especially when it's a guy with a big kick-to-handball ratio. Plus Krakouer's cheaper and therefore it's easier for him to go up in price and you get more money to spend elsewhere. But if you don't have Skipworth, I'd take him before either of them.

Dale Thomas + Houlihan as a back or
Jed Adcock + Houlihan as a fwd + 12k?

 

[dewey13]

My midfield already has Bartel, Corey, Ablett and Swan? But with talk of Ablett spending more time forward (And for the sake team balance) I'm thinking of swapping him for either kane Cornes (or the forgotten premium player) Scott Thompson.

This one should test a few thinkers out there. Interested in peoples take on this one. And thanks

You have ABC AND Swan!? I'd trade at least 2 of them to cheaper players.

 

[DrTomSwift]

Maric+10k or McIntosh

I originally had McIntosh but his pre-season form hasn't really impressed me. Maric is also the number 1 ruckmen and won't fight for game time like McIntosh will.

Possible to get an answer?

 

[Athomas]

Possible to get an answer?

If you're gonna go <300K, get Mcintosh.

 

[kangaroo19]

Thoughts on this?

S Johnson/Didak & T Cloke

or

Richo & Malceski

Can be done by switching Houlihan to defence/forward.

 

[Notorious_29]

heres my dilemna

Chornes and Drummond Vs Lockyer and Marty Clarke/Adcock/Malceski

chornes and drummond could really pay off as both are capable of averging over 90. however both could easily miss games.

thoughts?

Cornes and Drummond if i was picking

 

[buddymania]

My midfield already has Bartel, Corey, Ablett and Swan

lol and ur backline already has presti, glass and scarlett?

thats a whole lot of cash in ur midfield!!

 

[JuddyisGod]

Shane Edwards or Hasleby. Frees up a bit of cash but too risky?

 

[rooke33]

Would have hasleby ahead of edwards as he will definately be in the starting squad whereas edwards could be in and out of the side.

I'm trying to decide between steve j, grimes and rischitelli v. rok, geary and travis jonhstone.

Leaning towards the first one but not convinced grimes will be as solid in melbournes line up as geary will be in st.k however i'm not sold on rischitelli. Thoughts?

 

[donbooger]

Swan and Gian or Cross and deledio

 

[mrpig]

Swan and Gian or Cross and deledio

cant go wrong unless one of them get injured

 

[Decipher]

Personally Swan and Gia sounds like a slightly better proposal

 

[swans4eva]

Ok

Here is one
Sewell or Foley(+40k)

I have three rookies in my starting lineup who im a little nervous about so that would free up some space for them to be upgraded, thanx in advance

 

[banana_bus]

Personally Swan and Gia sounds like a slightly better proposal

Agreed. Dont like Cross as a DTer.

 

[Kenny_01]

Swan and Gian or Cross and deledio

I'd take Cross and Deledio.

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Which midfield is better?

Ablett + Bartel + Corey + Gibbs + Rich + Beams/Robinson

or

Ablett + J.Selwood + S.Tuck + Gibbs + Haselby + Rich

????????????????

 

[Juddy88]

Which midfield is better?

Ablett + Bartel + Corey + Gibbs + Rich + Beams/Robinson

or

Ablett + J.Selwood + S.Tuck + Gibbs + Haselby + Rich

????????????????

Bartel, Corey, Beams/Robinson V Selwood, Tuck, Haselby?

First one easily. That's if you feel confident one of Beams/Robinson will play consistent games. Still a little risky.

 

[GrandBlue]

What's better for the Ruck options?

Dean Cox and Charman or M.Blake

David Hille and Drew Petrie or Sandilands (Or even Simmons)
