Ryan Gamble

[MaccaHawk]

Dream Team time again, so looking for the lowdown on one of your young guns.

Do you think Ryan Gamble is going to see much game time this year? I've only come across him in relation to the Geelong v. Port game in London last year, and reports were that he had a fantastic game.

Reckon he'll get much of a game in 2007?

Cheers!

Ummm, not too sure. If I was you, I would probably look at someone else. How much salary cap room is left?

 

[MaccaHawk]

Not much headroom on the salary cap, although I just decided to draft in Djerrkura, who I reckon will get quite a bit of game time during the year. I'm really after a dirt cheap player who I can stick in the reserves.

Either him or Varcoe I reckon...

Well I think Gamble is much more likely to get game time than Varcoe going on last year's VFL form... But still, I couldn't be sure that Gamble will get heaps of time in the seniors. Competition for the last few spots in our team this year looks pretty strong, with guys like Selwood, Djekerra, Gamble, Tenace, Byrnes, Gardiner, Callan and even Spencer all pushing.

Gamble and Varcoe will get gametime, just not all that much.

The biggest bargain of them all at the moment (sportal dreamteam) is Rooke, (still listed as Jarrod). At only 83k he is an absolute bargain. He is listed in
the backline though.

Sportal has just opened their dreamteam site, and there is heaps of undervalued players. Lappin is only 83k, (sure he had a broken leg, but he is only this price, whereas Lonergan is around the 180k mark, go figure).

So there is heaps of value in the dreamteam this year.

For my mind, I'd rather pick up Alywn Davey and/or Hawkins if you want someone who will get gametime, especially later in the year. Djerkurra will get a good run I'd say too, both he and Varcoe seem to really work well together, their tackling is unreal.

James Kelly is a little undervalued too, I think he will have a big one this year.
