Defenders Discussion

One name that hasn't been mentioned is Brett Goodes
Is his starting price too high?

Yep, I think so. He's $492, 100.

 

[Demolished]

Haven't heard of him tbh, anyone got some insight?? Could he play the same sort of role as Brett Goodes did for the Dogs last season across HB??

Don't know much about him either, can't remember where but I heard he could play similar to Goodes did this season. The fact that he is cheap, not a key position player and a mature aged player in a relatively weaker team makes him look like a nice prospect considering we are lacking many defensive options

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Should be more of a suckling type. He will be necessary for the dogs' kick ins (an area where they struggle).

Rito thanks, that's the sort of players we like as our DEF's in SC.

 

[Demolished]

Yep, I think so. He's $492, 100.

Too much for Goodes. A lot of good defensive options this year that we could snag up for that amount during the year

Worth a quick recap of the defender options mentioned to-date. Worked through the thread from the start until now and counted the number of positive comments (noted in brackets) regarding players (lock or strongly consider). Then ranked the players based upon number of positive comments. Cut-off for the list was 4 or more positive comments so surprised that Jack Watts didn't make the cut! No surprises for the popular picks, especially those guys that gained dual position. This time, I have added the bye round [after comments score] to help with planning selections.

Lotta love for these guys

...thought R. Henderson might've garnered some interest, any takers/thoughts?

 

[av1jme]

Haven't really looked at him but he was a big improver last year for the Crows.
The only problem is that there are a lot of premium options in defence this year so Henderson might not get a look in.

What does one think of Matthew Fuller, the mature-aged rookie from WBD?
I need to fill in 2 more spots with rookies and these names just keep popping up:

Matthew Fuller (WBD)
Tom Cutler (BRL)
Darcy Gardiner (BRL)
Tom Langdon (COL)

The first 2
Think Fuller will get games and score well (hopefully)

Thanks mate, think I will go with the first 2 as well.
Bartel or McVeigh?

I went both, might depend on your bye structure

surprised david swallow is not on the radar. think he is on the verge of giving more then what he is priced

 

[broges]

Yeah, swallow was given big wraps on yesterday's DT podcast. Drafted as a mid, has played different roles and now reclassed as a def. Worth watching to see if he will get midfield time. Could be potential breakout year. Generally speaking, I prefer selecting underpriced fallen players. Always hard to pick breakouts.

 

[IDIG]

Looked at Swallow myself as well but would want to see a bit more midfield time before considering him at that price.

Did finish quite well with 95, 60, 94, 135, 84 in his last 5 games @ 94 which is not too bad for a defender.

 

[IDIG]

Anyone considering Ibbotson? Had him myself last year and while it was a bit of a roller coaster managed to punch out a few good scores.

13 games @ 95
1 x 140s, 1 x 130s, 2 x 110s, 1 x 100s
2 x 90s, 2 x 80s, 2 x 70s, 2 x 50s

Gets plenty of loose pill but can butcher it at the same time. 8 games with 7+ marks is very handy.

No f$^%ing way, brought him in, played two games, missed the last six or thereabouts. He, Thompson, Heppell, Clisby, Thurlow destroyed my season with three of four to go with no trades. In any event, ordinary player.

Yeah I remembered how you brought him in thinking he was gonna continue his fine run and then suddenly injury struck.
Ibbotson def a no-no.
