Player Comparison Thread - Part 2

[CrozaN]

What's better for the Ruck options?

Dean Cox and Charman or M.Blake

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

Out of the two options i think that Hille and Petrie would score the most points.

However if you can get Cox in there that will be alot better.

After reading the article about Gazza today (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25168644-19742,00.html) I am thinking of changing my team around what do you think is the best option out of these 3?

OPTION 1:
J. Bartel, G. Ablett, J. Selwood, D. Mackay, H. Skipworth, L. Anthony (D. Beams, M. Robinson) +35k

OPTION 2:
J. Bartel, G. Ablett, B. Gibbs, P. Haselby, H. Skipworth, L. Anthony (D. Beams, M. Robinson) +22k

OPTION 3:
J. Bartel, K. Cornes, J. Selwood, P. Haselby, H. Skipworth, D. Rich (D. Beams, M. Robinson) +23k

I currently have option 3 but am leaning on option 1 what are your guys thoughts? Would very much appreciate some feedback

I wouldn't worry about Ablett spending more time in the Geelong forward line if he's still going to be spending 70% of the time in the guts.

Off topic, but the Fantasy Freako has made a massive typo on Gary's Prospectus summary.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Clearly you want Bartel and Ablett, knowing that how about option 1 but with Selwood downgraded to Gibbs and Anthony upgraded to Rich? Not sure you should be relying on any Kangas youngster to get games when there's a good alternative.

I think you and I interpreted that differently. I don't think he's worried about it, I think he's encouraged by it. Because playing 70% in the middle and 20-25% in the forwardline is probably better than playing 85% of game time in the middle. Of course i's easier to get points in the middle than the forwardline, but it's even more easy to get points in the forwardline than on the bench.

 

[swans4eva]

ok here is a toughie

Ellis(injured???) vs Joel Mcdonald (underated, break through year???) vs Houli (Overated? star player?)

My mistake, on first read I thought he was trying to get Ablett out, not in. I found the article encouraging too, if he can spend time in the fwd line and kick some goals as well, his average should certainly increase.

I would lean towards 1 myself, although I'm not sure about Skipworth in the mids.

 

[richcogs]

1. Ablett/Kornes/Sylvia

2. Corey/Selwood/Didak, OR

3. Ablett/Selwood/S Johnson

Crazy out of those options I like number 2. Didak in for a big year!

1. Tuck/Selwood/Black and Adcock (I don't know)

2. Goddard and D. Jackson (superb preseason DT wise- tackles, goes hard and is fit!)

3. Goddard and Adcock

Joel Mcdonald very interesting...but I like Ellis, just depends how long he'll be out for!

 

[Decipher]

Cox/Sylvia/Kornes/Rich
vs
Petrie/Chapman/Knights/Grigg

Peoples thoughts?
Option 1 to me provides more captaincy options where as option 2 seems to offer more potential. Both have 2 keepers. One has one potential keeper and a rookie, the other has one potential keeper and a potential midrange cashcow.

Thoughts?

 

[timmeh]

Davenport or Suban or Otten or Gilbert


In terms of scoring and game time.... not price!

Cheers.

 

[Decipher]

They are mostly rookies.
Anyones guess, Suban/Davenport/Otten have played an official AFL game (well Ottens played 2 with an Avg of 28.5) and none even have a confirmed spot... Impossible to tell at this point.

Gilbert/Suban are also backs

While Davenport and Otten are Mids. Again not proving an accurat comparaison.

yeah, drafting for ff league with dt scoring style!

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Sylvia vs H.Shaw?

I have 368K and need either a forward or a back. Who is the best available? I can obviously swing Houlihan to either end. ATM, I am considering Sylvia, Shaw, Lockyer and Fevola. I could also maybe get someone a little cheaper to get cash such as Mundy, Adcock, D.Thomas ect.

Thoughts? Cheers

 

[kangaroo19]

Thoughts?

Sandi & Newman OR Didak & McIntosh.

Cheers!

Use Houlihan as a back, i prefer Sylvia anyway

Didak & McIntosh


Gilbee + Hille vs S Fisher + Ottens/Lade

 

[Schulzenfest]

S. Fisher + Ottens. Ottens is the only one out of those players where there is any reason for him to improve on last year's scores, so that's what I'd go with. But if you don't have Goddard already I'd take him over Fisher.

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

s.tuck vs gibbs?

 

[bulldogsman]

Ottens breaks down a lot so i'm not real confident, maybe i'll just get McIntosh I have about 35k left but thats ok

 

[kangaroos3]

Im stuck on who to pick out of;

O'Keefe, Burton and Sylvia

I'm looking for the best one that will earn me a little bit of money and/or become a premium forward.

Atm I'm leaning towards O'Keefe because I think he will be a consistent scorer this year but I think Sylvia will rise more in price.

Whats all you guys thoughts?

 

[maximus15]

Jordan Lewis, Chris Knights, Travis Boak, Matt Rosa, Nathan Foley, Kade Simpson
Which one??

 

[maximus15]

Also
Deledio Rob Murphy
Steve Johnson Gia

 

[kangaroos3]

Jordan Lewis, Chris Knights, Travis Boak, Matt Rosa, Nathan Foley, Kade Simpson
Which one??

Chris Knights IMO

 

[nickos10]

Ok hopefully got the correct thread now.
Need help people Deledio or brent harvey I got no idea who will be the betta option
