Position SC 2021: Forward Discussion
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
Bailey Dale (FWD) $479k average 97
Currently ranked 3rd for total points in the forwards behind only Ziebell and Zorko
Averaging 100.3 (last 5) and 109.3 (last 3), although those numbers are boosted by last week's 152.
Bulldogs top of the ladder and ranked second for SC points.
Currently in 1.2% of teams
His bye is difficult and has a tough run coming up with Melb and Geel amongst his next three opponents but I reckon I'd still probably take him ahead of Hall.

His role was much better this week but that's possibly a symptom of Brayshaw being out more than it's a result of him being fit.
I'd be giving him an extra week with Brayshaw personally to confirm as he's not fantasy relevant as a forward only and his durability record is so bad.
Plus he's just a truly unlikeable player to watch with all his diving, flopping and whinging and the umpires are 100% onto his antics so he's not getting free kicks that are there quite often simply because he's diving so often when they're not and playing for them at all times. It's a shame he's gone down that path as he was a fantastic player to watch a few years ago and should be one of the best to watch not one of the worst. Not that this is a reason to not pick him
If he's playing midfield though he's a great bargain option for those needing a few. Even if he gets to 88+ he's going to be alright at F6 this year it would seem. With Dunkley and Butters having issues that may keep them out there is really only Dangerfield left that people should be looking at.

Brayshaw out would have given him a better role. I guess I’ll see how he goes this week before I pull the trigger or maybe after his bye would be a better time to buy.
Im unlucky to have none of those you’ve mentioned. Not selecting Ziebell has made me pay early on. I do however have Heeney plus Jelly in Fyfe in mid so I might be pushing my luck with these players who are known to miss.
Just so hard to resist considering their price and scoring potential!

I'd never say never but he's logically out of time at this point, if cheap enough he might be a strong F7/R3 target for luxury traders (I'm not going to be one of those this year!). If he comes back it's likely round 15, by which time every team should be finished (league focus aside), couple of weeks for the value and you're looking at round 18 realistically.
Realistically barring a miracle the Saints season is just about over and if nothing changes will be in a month at which point with the injury Marshall has and his insane importance to them long term I have to ask why they'd risk him instead of cotton wool on that foot and getting him right for next year. They've already rushed him back once this year and caused him injury, I know the club is stupid as all hell but surely even they're not that stupid?

I got Dale in all my draft leagues (along with Hind, Ziebell and Atkins) but couldn't take him in the real thing, I had him in the 80s (same for Hind to be fair) but he's had similar roles and then fallen out of them and with Williams and Daniel well ahead and then Wood, JJ, Duryea and Crozier all in the mix it was just hard to think he'd be there all season, nevermind hitting high 90s!
McDonald I considered, I actually coin flipped him and Tom Lynch last year (both fails, obviously) and then this year I just went "remember last year, don't be tricked by that one good year" and moved on... Good old hindsight.
On a positive: I have 4 of the top 6 and 5 of the top 10...
On a negative: I don't have Zorko and he's been so far ahead of the rest since everyone else got him in that none of it matters

Then in the last few days I had a complete turnaround and started Dangerfield , Dunkley , Martin & Zorko with Ziebell @ F5.
Can't really recall looking at Atkins , Dale , Hind , McDonald at all to be honest.
I had Hind high but couldn't go off the two game sample, did jump a couple of weeks later and drafted him in everything though. Similar to Dale was worried about not enough ball but he's ended up the main guy. I also, stupidly, went Cahill as the better value thinking he could score within 10 points of Hind... so I'm stupid!
Atkins I drafted but never really went much further, even his good start wasn't drawing me in as his DT:SC ratio didn't seem sustainable but he'd have been a great pick.
I just wish I hadn't gone for Cripps as he cost me Oliver, Daniher, Powell, Mills (Short been ok but 200 points...) and Impey as starting picks... Was probably the worst butterfly effect last second decision I've ever made. Normally it's just a bad 50/50 call! God I wish they'd get rid of the Tigers/Blues as first game of the season as I always end up getting too excited and taking players from those teams
