Opinion Player X vs Player Y

For those that are considering Zorko, I've done some research into his scores and these were the results found:
With Beams & Rockliff: Average of 89.3/9 games
Without 1 of Beams/Rockliff: Average of 108.5/13 games
Based on this you can see that Zorko flourishes when one of Beams/Rockliff don't play, so if one goes down with a season ending injury then yeah he would be a great pick, however I think if both play which is more than likely, he won't be that great a pick. Just another thing I noticed, these are his scores to finish 2015:
96, 61, 137, 117, 157, 109, 95 (As expected, the 61 was the only game where both Rockliff/Beams played, once again showing how much they impact his scoring).
Anyway, based on my research I don't see him as value or a good pick as I think with Beams/Rockliff back, he will be pushed back to the forward line which greatly reduces his scoring output.

I think his perceived poor disposal could be accredited to lack of targets he had to kick to last year 
For now, i'm on him he has breakout written all over him and with his ability to tackle, he should be to avoid really really low scores if he can't get his hands on the pill.

Should be good, a nice NAB Cup from him and he will be extremely tempting.
Both elite SC scorers of the future for sure.
I like Parker as a better option for this season, because he is 2 seasons more experienced and looks poised for a 110+ breakout. Many thought it would be this year on the back of a 108.5 season but things didn't fall into place. I feel that this is the season.
At Port Adelaide, Wines is quite probably second in line for the tag after Boak, whereas Sydney are full of damaging midfielders, and Parker would be further down the tagger's target list, with JPK and Hannerbery certainly ahead, and potentially Tom Mitchell and Kieran Jack.

Of the two, I'd go Parker - his price is similar but his best year is better than Wines', and his ceiling looks to be higher at this stage as well.
It's not the question you asked, but personally, I don't think there's much of a place for this type of selection this year, at least for most coaches. There are better players that are more discounted, and much cheaper players that are probably as good. If you are good at picking young players set to improve (your record indicates you might well be), that's probably fair enough, but for most of us I think it's better to pick a genuine fallen premium or a deeply discounted player than someone in between the two.

^^For Merrett it's that he's never played 22 before (19 as he was breaking into the side, then 17 with injury), is still very young and gets low TOG. For Greene, it would be a combination of suspension and injury.
If I'd given Merrett one more game, he would have been first. The top three were close, with Rich further behind.
