Forwards Discussion

Yeah, hopefully next week there will be some SC leaks.

Hope thats only for DT, if thats the case that it is unlike this year then that makes us think twice about Martin and Hogan.
Pray that it isn't for SC!!!

 

[IDIG]

He has Mid/Fwd for 2014!

Definitely worth considering if fit, however it is almost guaranteed he will be rested regularly throughout the season. Potentially 4-5 games on, 1 game off. It's a high risk, high reward pick.

Yep all over Chappy. No chance of me not picking him now haha. Was one of my fave non bombers and now he's a bomber, he's locked in on principle.

 

[av1jme]

Not only that, he is a handy replacement for Crameri

Crameri could be a huge POD. Macca said he could be played up the ground and is a great goal kicker. wont get best defender because of jones and campbell. won't get him but could well given when we picked up big bad barry he went on to kick 74 goals or something. only difference is crameri won't give too many frees away from punching people or headlocks.

 

[av1jme]

Yes for Bulldogs. He's a more dangerous forward than Jones or Campbell, definitely deserves to get the No.1 defender on him. There's also that mature age VFL player who's really dangerous on your forward line....can't remember his name, he and Crameri can definitely bulldogs kick winning scores this year

We have a good mature ager in the VFL? Could be the next Pod but Bulldog coaches don't rock up to the matches and Geelong pick him up. I can't believe we had the Pod in our VFL team and didn't pick him up. As a dogs supporter, our draft selectors have been screwing us over for decades because they can't find a power forward.

But i have no idea who you are talking about.

He was picked up 2 years ago from the VFL was 28 or something years old but has been in and out of the WBD team due to injuries. Very handy goalkicker when he plays. Is a small forward.

Tory Dickson (sorry he's only 26).

 

[Junior Wölf]

Oh yeah that guy. He can play well for the doggies but needs to capitalise on a strong pre season to get a gig with higgins and crameri coming into the attack.

Howlett scored 164 and 127 in rounds 1 and 2 of this season and failed to reach the 100+ mark again for the rest of the year. Total of 19 games

I know that feeling. We had Scott D Thompson on our vfl list :'(.

You should have seen how crazy I was going in those first two rounds with him in my FDL. Followed by a lot of frustration and an eventual axing.

Ended up averaging 75. Would've been 70- after Round 2. Probably won't get a look into my side

Parker looks an interesting choice.

2011 Average of 52.1 - 11 Games
2012 Average of 70.9 - 16 Games
2013 Average of 86.9 - 21 Games

21 Years old. I didn't watch much of Sydney this year but there was one game i watched where I saw him play forward and kick 3 goals (?). So if he spends less time down forward, plus has a solid 4th pre season, could come into contention for sure.

 

[av1jme]

Depends on his starting price as well.

Any love for Jack Watts?

A 450K price tag for Parker would be worth it in my eyes

 

[av1jme]

That's too high a ceiling for me.
I wonder what Tom Mitchell's price will be?

Fair enough. Not sure. Maybe the same as Parker's and I'd take Parker over Mitchell.

 

[av1jme]

Worth looking into both. I've just noted both names down as possibilities
