Position 2022: Forward Discussion

[scarfaceclaw]

With the lack of forward rookies, I just put Treloar into my side. He seems very cheap for his previous output. Dont know. There could be some strange looking structures.

Reads that Treloar had post season surgery...and he's out again!

Not sure this makes him different from about half the league. If it's before Christmas, and especially in the first month or so after the season, it's basically par for the course.

Any detail on what the surgery was as that's more important than surgery.

ie. getting a knee scope or cleanout or some kind of groin tidy up is a much bigger issue than a wrist surgery generally.

So from what we've seen and read, it sounds like Josh Daicos and Steele Sidebottom will be our permanent wingmen (Sidebottom's natural role), with others rotating off half-back and midfield.

What's stopping Sidebottom from regaining his premium scoring status?

$475k M/F, has played 20 games or more in 5/6 recent seasons.

7 seasons above 100, 4 seasons above 105, 1 season above 110.

Will be hard not to jump on @Shannon ‘s “Butters to go elite” train.

My next prediction is the Butters train here on Supercoach Scores is going to look like this by the time round 1 comes along :-

I’ll drive the Heeney train, if you drive the Butters one Hopefully it’s a safe journey!

Last time I was the driver of the Heeney train, we didn’t even get to depart (Heeney injured in a preseason game lol).

 

[madmunza]

I'll drive the Taryn Thomas train, hasn't derailed just yet toot toot

I'll be parkouring between one, two and three of your locomotives.

 

[Juzzo]

Ok, I'll drive this one!

I must be the fat conductor on board all 3 trains then

Could also get on that Bailey train but really struggling after he torched me last year in DT that @Juzzo has commandeered!

Not on this one quite yet but it’s more because it’s hard to fit them all in!

May end up on all three haha

This one definitely has the best train design though!!

Apparently Steele has lost the excess fat he had last year. This would put him in good stead for his wing role. I have him in DT, might consider him in SC.

Steele is that standout "it was an easy pick" when we look back with hindsight and yet so few will make it

Durability table for the Fawards:

 

[Herbie66]

22 days to go might lock in 5/8's of it

Dunkley * , Heeney , Butters , Coleman * , Coniglio * , Curnow / Rookie , Rookie

Kiddy swings to defence if it looks likely we have 3 viable F starting rookies

Only 3 lines to go

Thats an injury waiting to happen sort of forward line. Shame it is almost identical to my forward line

Who's Kiddy?

Kiddy = Coleman (Brisbane Lions)

Hopefully if they do get injured it's not at the same time and they have given me plenty of points and risen in $ to give a easy trade.

Lol maybe I sold the Sidebottom pick a bit too hard, but to provide a bit more context...

While Sidebottom showed signs of being a capable centre bounce midfielder early on in his career, that is not the pathway he developed later on. Over the last 10 seasons, the vast majority of his 100+, 105+ and even 110+ seasons have been generated from a wing.

Sure he's okay as an inside mid - averaged 99.14 when he had 50% CBA or more last season, but wing is ultimately his natural position. Yes inside midfield tends to be a positional upgrade for most players, but this isn't always necessarily true especially for outside players like Sidebottom.

So to conclude:
Inside Mid > Wing is an UPGRADE for Sidebottom
Inside Mid + Half forward (2021) > Wing is a HUGE UPGRADE for Sidebottom
