Interesting. I've always thought Gunston copped the number 1 defender anyway and Rough played very much a utility role these days. I had a look through some historical numbers and it doesn't read especially well for Gunston when Roughie doesn't play.
2015 - Rd 15 vs Freo (McPharlin) - 61 sc
2015 - Rd 14 vs Coll (Langdon) - 86 sc
2014 - Rd 21 vs Freo (Johnson) - 51 sc
2014 - Rd 10 vs Port (Hombsch) - 87 sc
4 games @ 71
He was always gonna be a risky pick but even with such a small sample he's definitely a pass now. Bullet dodged!
EDIT: have also moved some posts from the injuries thread.

What's the argument against Montagna? I haven't seen much interest in him despite being a high scorer in previous years. I don't think he will better his average but I think he will be a top 6 scorer! He's also been quite durable over the years!
If his age is a concern just look at what Harvey has done in his mid 30s.

If he's scoring closer to 105-110, wouldn't it be better to start him? He has a high ceiling, so potentially with his historically better first halves to seasons he might not actually get that much cheaper if he pulls a big one early.
Are there any other concerns ie: injury, role change concerns, younger players taking time off him?

Interested on this one. I haven't been around SC long enough or been burnt enough time to understand what an uncomfortable price is. What is a more comfortable price, 400k? Or is it less than 250k? I'd be keen for someone to expand on this.
Does anyone think Thomas can average 95? I think given he's had 5 career years around 78, and 3 spike years during Collingwood's time at the top, that he is probably an 80ppg player, and therefore not a good selection.

I'm actually with you on what a comfortable price. The answer is different for everyone as we all have different teams, structures. I've been daisy burnt before, not even a consideration!
If you are keen on someone to expand on this, someone basically has and then some, and then some. You have probably seen this blog from Klo but IMO this is one of if not the best piece of work I've seen on this site, and impromptu has awesome articles to read, and of course Rowsus is some type of machine on here!

In and out of my team like...so and so.
I think kakarot has pretty much summed up the argument against starting him. He's very likely to finish a top forward but at his starting price you would have to feel pretty confident he's gonna be around the 105+ mark.
My thinking is, if he looks like he's running through the midfield then he's a sure starter. Any fwd that has the potential to go 110 and HUGE on the odd week is worth shuffling some less-locked players around. If he looks like stepping aside for the younger kids then he's a wait and see.
