Player Discussion Thread

[Ollies]

Anyone have any thoughts on Gavin Urquhart's game last night. I listened on MMM ands it seemed like he was getting a bit of exposure in the midfield. Role change after Harvey's injury?

 

[Bert1]

Ahhh yeah. Deboer looks heaps good haha

Ah well, if De Boer doesn't do that well, Cockie will be a good pick-up then.

Yep just makes desisions easier.

 

[nethermage]

stephen hill is having one hell of a game for freo 82 points with a bit of the 3rd qtr and all of 4th to go maybe he'll be one to benefit from palmer been out

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

im getting a mid for beams and ive got 403.7 k to spend which means i can get the likes of kornes, bruce, haYES, mitchell, power, murphy, simpson, bolten ect- question is who is the best im leaning towards kornes altho they are all good thoughts?

Out of all of those listed....Kornes wins.

if you want a player that is going to give you 90-100 pretty much every week get kornes. if you beleive someone can average above 100 from here on in choose them. presonally i picked up hayes last week ahead of kornes, dont know what got into me just a gut feeling we will see if it works out or not.

 

[94_Eagles]

Bernie Vince anyone? 369K for a player that averages over 100 and often gets BIG tons is sensational value I reckon, probably better than you'll find anywhere else in the mids.

 

[Lakey91]

Better than marc murphy for just 15k more?

 

[kenny712]

Anyone got Cogs' TOG for the past 2 or 1 game/s?

 

[Kaiser Powser]

70% in his first game, unsure about last week.

 

[makingmemark]

Pretty sure Cogs had in the 70s TOG again mate.

What are people's thoughts on Cogs? I know he is pricey but he is a proven player, has scored well in his first 2 games and could be a very handy 6th midfielder/cash cow.

Thinking I might grab him this week for Rich.

My theory is he's about $100k more expensive than a rookie, but probably has $100k further upside over a typical rookie mid (say $325k to $350k as opposed to $225k to $250k). The other advantage is the higher scoring he should deliver, plus the job security compared to a rookie. He shouldnt be dropped unless injured.

Also, there is a chance he could return to boderline premium status and avg 90+ for the year. This would also save a trade you would have to make with a rookie.

The big downside is the question mark over his fitness. He has a horror record of injury. Saying that, most rookies will only play around half a season (give or take) as their bodies don't usually hold up for the 22 rounds.

I reckon all in all he is worth the punt.

 

[Crazy22]

Buddy or J. Brown... which fallen premium has the better value do people think?

i think he could achieve that. has scored well in his first 2 games back with only 70% tog. i think once he gets up around the 90% tog and gets used to the rigours of afl footy again he could well average 90. hes a similiar player to hayes and kirk. gets his 20-25 touches but also a heap of tackles. and he wont get tagged so thats a bonus. i think he will get 70 plus most weeks and is definetly capable of 100s. in his 2 full seasons he averaged 95(in 03) and 90 (in 05) so can definetly mix it with the premiums. i know theres some risks involved but huge reward if it pays off you could potentially buy a keeper for 180k

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Brown on seasons form so far. You just don't know when Buddy is gonna explode though. Is a good chance for a big score this week against Essendon, especially with no Fletcher and Ryder playing in the ruck.

I'm tossing up between the two aswell.

 

[Blue_Skies_Ahead]

With injuries hurting my side, I need to make some trades within my midfield

Thoughts on this midfield combo :

Bartel, Pendlebury, K Cornes, Judd, Boyd and M Murphy

Yep thats solid.

Missing Ablett, Corey and Swan out of the top 6 mids (by avg) but all the above should average 90+

My sentiments exactly.
It would be a sideways trade (Beams) but as Captain Dreamer has said, he has the potential to be as good a Cow as a 86Ker.
And there is the hope of him being a keeper as you've said.

Regardless, it will save me from a donut this week and almost guarantee me a league win so I think I'll go for it.

Thanks guys

I love it when there is insightful, useful commentary on the boards. Seems a bit few and far between these days. Too much 'I'm trading out this guy who had an off week who should I get?' going on.

Perhaps we can start a new thread where only useful comments are allowed and anything else is deleted by the mods

Exactly mate. Even start a "post what your thinking thread" then all the others can be used for what they are entitled and be more insightful.

 

[neesun]

Is buying Chapman for Richardson overkill considering I already had Steve Johnson, Jimmy Bartel and Gary Ablett? I don't plan on selling Ablett and would like to play all four at some stage.

 

[MattDoggies]

This might not be the right thread for it, but what are the chances Cheney playing this week? I'll need him if Fisher's injured.
