The SC Gold predictions seem to be better now, than a few years ago. They definitely have changed their system. They had a few good "wins", in that they spotted Beams' breakout season, having him scoring at around 120+ from the start of the season. Not many did that. There really is no reliable prediction system as such. RAMP and SC Gold when compared head to head on a week by week basis actually are pretty evenly matched, as to which is more accurate.

Sorry for double post but wasn't sure if the table would work! Nothing really to take from it, aside from GWS who have been batting above their average in regards to SC-scoring. I wonder if this trend will continue or if it was perhaps a one-year wonder? Most teams however are within a place or two of their correlating ladder position, which isn't overly surprising.
Is it a case perhaps of the GWS kids wanting to keep possession to try to control the outcome of the game better, resulting in fatter scores for their players?

Can I grab your thoughts/insights on two fwd mid pricers
Claye Beams 286k and Sharrod Wellingham 375k
- Clay Beams DOMINATED last week's intra-club match, winning best afield honours in a new role off half back. Pearce Hanley's three-month layoff due to a hip injury will see Beams play a rebounding role in 2015.
- Sharrod Wellingham is fit, firing and set to show what he's capable of in 2015, according to West Coast midfield coach Brady Rawlings. Wellingham is in the final year of a lucrative three-year contract. His first two seasons at West Coast have been little short of disastrous. In 2013, he managed just 10 games due to severe ankle injuries, one of which was self-inflicted in a bizarre accident on a trampoline during the pre-season. In his second season at West Coast, under a different coach, Wellingham was dropped on three separate occasions due to poor form. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in late July while playing in the WAFL. Wellingham worked hard on his conditioning prior to Christmas, and Rawlings told AFL.com.au that the 26-year-old is ready to be a key component in the Eagles midfield in 2015. "This pre-season we've been able to train him a bit more as a midfielder since the Christmas break and he's coming along well," Rawlings said. "We all know his talent. He's quite fit at the moment. He's strong, he's clean inside the contest and uses the ball really well. "In possession, we know what he's capable of. It's just finding that balance with the other side of his game as well. "He's got a good attitude, and we're all looking forward to him playing games and showing us what he can do."

Hi Rowsus.
Interested on your thoughts about Curtly Hampton as mid priced defender (you can pick yourself up off the floor now) . Was ave 90 by rd 6 last year including 2 tons but then it went pear shaped and he got injured etc etc. This will be his 4th season but did not really find his niche until switched into defence mid 2013 season. Price is ugly for the risk but I think he has upside.

Unless he consistently throws up good numbers in the NAB, I won't even consider him. High numbers in the NEAFL are nothing to get excited about. I'm not too concerned about his SC to DT, but more about his K to H ratio. He's a Watch, but probably not for me.
There's not enough data to a table on him properly. Unless he shows he's stepped up in the pecking order, he's just too big of a risk.

Hey Mike,
the first thing to consider with this is, you shouldn't just be comparing Mr $270k with Mr $150k.
Who was the last "value pick" you made, Premium or Midpriced, when you picked the $270k player? Can you convert him into a safer pick with the $150k player? These things also need to be factored in.
Let's ignore that for now though.
A cheap Rookie goes in with the hope of making just over $200k, but more realistically something around $175k is the average. To do that, they need to average around 65, or hit a decent (80 to 90) score 2 out of 3 weeks, then average around 60-ish.
The $270k player can depend on what line he is picked on, as to what you need to make him a good pick. But let's generalise again. You'd probably be happy to trade him in at just over $400k. To achieve this, he needs to average low to mid 80's, or hit 100 type scores in 2 out of 3 weeks, and average 80 in the others.

Thanks Row,
As it stands now, the extra $150k would have most likely been used to upgrade Waters to a Docherty type as I am currently happy with the other players. Although as you said, I could probably upgrade to a safer selection somewhere else but I am happy to take a risk.
The points seem achievable..just have to follow the pre season to make sure the game time will be there!
Thanks again
