Opinion Player X vs. Player Y

[spangleduck]

Considering my usual infaction to have a guns and rookie team there’s about 60% chance I end up with Sloane and none of the other 3, 39% chance I go Macrae and a rookie and 1% chance I end up with B.Crouch and Rockliff.

Just wanted to see if anyone thought the 2nd option was actually a better one and why haha.

I'm in the 1% bby.

b smith, b crouch, hind vs fyfe or cogs, moore, constable

b smith, b crouch, hind vs fyfe or cogs, moore, constable

Option 2.

Hind vs Constable is a wash at their price I know you may only be able to afford a 117k midfielder in option 1 but the main deciding factors are the other 2 matchups.

I think Smith and Moore could have similar scoring outputs but lean 10 points higher to Smith. However, Fyfe/Cogs have the upside to be 25 points higher than B.Crouch imo and don’t have as much risk if choosing Cogs compared to the other two who have big risks regarding injury history or interrupted pre season. Fyfe has huge scope and could go 30 points higher than B.Crouch in his sleep if he stays healthy (which are the same question marks over Crouch as a pick anyway).

Gawn/b crouch
Vs
Goldy/m crouch

Option 2:

125 + 90
Vs
110 + 110

For mine, option 2 also has less risk (B.Crouch by far the riskiest of the 4)

We're absolutely splitting hairs at this stage of the preseason.

Getting very difficult to answer without much more than a bit of guesswork and personal preference.

My last decision is Dusty vs Cogs and I know I'm not going to have this clarified between now and Thursday night unless I heard one of them was carrying an injury etc.

Dusty.

I see Walsh has overtaken Danger as the highest owned player (or maybe he already was and I just noticed), soo ...

Hurn & Walsh v B Smith & Rocky?

Hurn & Walsh.

Bit of a different one as they're on opposing lines.

Dunkley (F4) vs Hurn/Crisp (D2)

Hurn/Crisp.

Menegola vs. Dunkley ?

Menegola.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

I’m really happy with where my team is at but it’s sounding like i’ll need to replace Scrimshaw as he’s unlikely for round 1.

So if Scrimshaw doesn’t get named I’ll need to find a little bit of extra cash for Collins.

Would you trade Whitfield for Hurn/Crisp or Heeney for T Kelly?

I think Walsh is a lock, so he shouldn't be in X vs Ys. That said, I quite like Smith at his price too.

I wouldn’t do either of these if you can avoid it.

If it came down to

Collins + Kelly
Vs
Duursma + Heeney

Or

Collins + Hurn
Vs
Duursma + Whitfield

For example, I’m running with option 2 in both of those scenarios.

If you already have Duursma, Clark, Hore can you bring Burgess in (if you have Moore in the forwards) or even get to a Marsh or choose Joyce (if named) instead of Collins?

I’d trade Whitfield for Hurn/Crisp because I prefer Heeney to Kelly.

I have Duursma, Clark, Hore and Burgess and have no interest in Joyce. Collins really is my only option. Praying Scrimshaw gets named.

So you’re telling me Smith & Walsh and make the extra money talk elsewhere then?

Is there alternatives you’d consider changing than Whitfield and Heeney that would free up the cash to get Scrimshaw to Collins?

Think we will still see Scrimshaw playing. Think its just Clarko being Clarko and not letting anyone or the media get ahead of themselves with a player, particulalry a talented player like Scrimshaw who didn't make it at the Suns due to a range of reasons.

I'd trade Whitfield, reluctantly. Would likely assess other options, albeit you've no doubt done that.

Just what I wanted to hear. Hope you’re right, mate. You’re usually spot on

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Unfortunately not. Every other pick is either locked or I can’t downgrade. Hopefully GG is on the money and I can keep Whitfield and Heeney.

 

[Darkie]

So you’re telling me Smith & Walsh and make the extra money talk elsewhere then?

I'd get Walsh in as a priority, and I think Smith is a good pick if you're otherwise a bit thin down back or have a little extra cash. So I'd suggest Walsh is a must and Smith is nice to have.

 

[quite ironic]

If I had to then I’d go Whitfield to Hurn. Heeney’s slight niggles last year and this pre season scare me but he has huge upside and is actually quite consistent. Kelly has potential to easily fizzle out and throw in 40’s without blinking.

Whitfield could get thrown around anywhere and Hurn is probably closer to his average than Kelly is to Heeney imo.


I’m facing a different delimma. I’m very settled with my team but don’t have Scrimshaw now and have no way to get him in without altering my set up quote significantly.

Have Moore, Collins, Duursma, Clark, Hore D4-D8 atm though so probably not the biggest issue if I don’t have Scrimshaw although he looks like scoring well if he does play so if he’s named I’ll seriously have to look at what I want to do with 3 players which are the only ones I’d consider moving (Sloane, Goldy, Dunkley).

 

[Connoisseur]

J Scrimshaw (D6 and keep Moore/Burgess fwd/def link), J Kelly (M2) and B Grundy (R1)
Vs
J Petrucelle (F7 and lose Moore/Burgess fwd/def link as both would be on same line), P Cripps (M1) and M Gawn (R1)
