If you’re a sucker for a guy who has a badly skewed DT:SC ratio then surely you have taken a look at a young GWS gun in the making who is also very unlikely to get tagged. He’s been in and out of my side!
Taranto? Yeah of course lol

I like Crouch because he's more likely to be the main man without getting the attention, as illogical as that probably sounds.

Edit: that was a perfect opportunity to post the why not both pic damn it

Kelly I think is a decent chance at going 105 - 110.

McLuggage 95 - 100

Yeah Taranto is a gun, but so is Kelly and Whitfield and Hopper and Coniglio and Ward and Williams................................................

True. With the mid eligible Giants, aside from Kelly, it is very hard to pick which ones will average 110+ and therefore be a win. Could easily pick the wrong one/s and they become cloggers averaging around the 100 mark.

Treloar finds plenty of the ball, but this doesn't translate to a SC score due to inefficiency.
Treloar scored 93sc off 38 touches in round 10 last year!

Picked him up 2 weeks later for just over $500k and he only dipped under 116sc for the rest of the season.
Very consistent scorer but doesn't go big that often due the inefficiency you mentioned.

We need to give him more love here on SCS so he doesn't go exploring on the wide world twitter sphere. Maybe if I replace one of the poll options with B Crouch...that would do the trick and keep him at home where he belongs.:unsure:
But when B.Crouch doesn't poll a single vote he is just going to feel more lonely :cry:

You’re obviously a very good judge of talent mate!

I’m actually surprised he’s gotten any votes Thanh. Happy for my SCS comrades to pump up the yes votes ?
IDIG for what its worth I read a training report on big footy today that he is covering the ground much better this pre season and displaying some of that breakaway speed that made him more of the inside/outside threat he promised to be before the injuries. I don't know if I would dare risk him but he certainly has scope to get better than how he played last year.

Predictions for what Sam Walsh will average this season?

Can he increase his average like Clayton Oliver did in his second year of senior footy?

Can he significantly improve his contested footy numbers?
Anyone remember all the comparison of numbers of Ollie Wines to Selwood. Yet the quadzilla's were not taken into account in why is TOG would not increase.

Is the difference between Sam and Olivier a matter of style, inside vs outside. Maybe we should be comparing him to a Gaff type player. Carlton already has one of the best inside beasts, is he going to steal his CP's.

So..

110+ looks almost guaranteed.
