Hey guys, interested in views on Phillips vs Caldwell vs Cameron.
- Phillips: Role but to me is the least impressive 'actual' player of these guys. 400k has to be a keeper really
- Caldwell: Hasn't been on my radar but I thought he looked like an 'actual' bloody good player. Can only improve. Could he av same as Phillips for 50k less? (SC ratio is positive)
- Cameron: I can't get this one out of my head. Geelongs draw to the bye looks delicious for a lead up fwd (as well as the new rules) and a 10 goal thrashing of the Crows rd 1 is on the cards
Low risk, lowest reward imo: Phillips > Caldwell > Cameron
High risk, highest reward imo: Cameron > Caldwell > Phillips
thoughts?

Cameron does have his attractions. Is prone to major suspension incurring brain fades, the odd injury and probably still geling with the Cats play style. New rules do seem to suit lead up fwds though.
The all have a different price point and I am finding this position to be the one changing the most to squeeze coin for rookie changes in other areas. Coin no issue I think I would still go Caldwell. Started Darling a few years back and KPPs

i reckon its just about the best chance since then for a similar spike but you are gambling that he kicks a bag or two before the bye. Footy has changed since Cloke's time but maybe the rules swing it back. If a 95 av from Phillips is enough for a keeper then I do think Jezza could achieve that himself (making him an OK F6) but on top of that his draw early is fantastic -> the Crows were a shambles and playing them rd 1 seems like the best chance for a big first game....the downside of course if how deflating it will feel if Hawkins kicks 8 and Jezz 1-2....i like the play but its definitely an early slash at the swinging ball when most will let it go through to the keeper
Edit: Picking him requires a bit of sacrifice on my preferred rookies. Caldwell on the other hand lets me keep my choices (I'm warming to this pick) and Phillips means I really compromise my rookies picks.

No gripe, if he can repeat that sort of game he will be a good pick, I thought it was possibly an exception based on his other matches (I didn't watch this match). I do have him on the bench in the forwards, main reason I chose Dow was the extra experience at that level, and possibly slightly better role, even if he hasn't shown much to date.
