Opinion Player X vs. Player Y

[Shannon]

How underpriced do you see Stewart as being Darkie?

At $538k, he is at his highest ever starting price and has only broken a 100 avg once, last year.

In round 4 he scored just 18 before breaking his collarbone :-

Geelong defender Tom Stewart is set to miss a stretch of games after suffering a suspected broken collarbone during Sunday’s match against Melbourne at the MCG.

Taking that game out, he averaged just over 106 from the other 13 games, scoring 100 or more on 10 occasions.

Just a super solid/ consistent player.

Heeney vs Greene vs Butters?

 

[Ben's Beasts]

This one has probably been asked already but could be a few pages back now..

Dunkley v Marshall?

Gawn and Grundy the two rucks by the way.

Heeney vs Greene vs Butters?

Assuming Heeney's preseason is clean from here, Heeney.

Greene if he's playing midfield is the best forward period though so will watch for that. No idea why they keep leaving him forward, as good as he is up there. Haven't heard anything on him and his preseason.

Butters is the unknown but at this point he's at least got the durability by a country mile. Think he's got the least upside of the trio but perhaps the safest pick.

Dunkley v Marshall?

Gawn and Grundy the two rucks by the way.

I like Dunkley's pure upside more, barring a Ryder injury. I like Dunkley's floor more, it never felt to me like Marshall was playing to his scoring last year. I like all of Marshall's peripheral factors more though. Marshall ruck cover could be worth 60+ points if he covers for a donut though, that rapidly inflates the hidden points average.

Weighing up 12 vs 13 premium, main difference below

12 premium - DGB + Ziebell + Daniher = 70 + 80 + 70

vs

13 premium - ZWilliams (13th) + 2 x 123k rookie = scoring 105 + 60 + 55 (Rowe and Cockatoo onto field)

Going 13 premiums
Same points
Save 2 trades (1 up and down)
Ziebell + Daniher + DGB make 400k (allowing that 95% of pricing achieved at above average)
Rookies plus two trades make $100-150k = $300k-450k

Cunnington vs Prestia

 

[Darkie]

Cunnington vs Prestia

My initial reaction was “ideally neither”, unless you have some particular insight or expectation for them.

On the numbers, Cunnington looks to be a durable 90s player historically, whereas Prestia could have more upside (maybe not at Richmond?) can score 100+ but misses a lot of games.

I’m not sure either is cheap enough to take the relevant risks unless you have a specific angle on them.

Personally I would prefer Heeney in the forward line, or try to find a little extra cash and go for a Doc type.

Prestia was unlucky to get injured against the Demons in round 5

Dion Prestia was injured during this tackle from Kysaiah Pickett. Picture: Quinn Rooney


Prestia appears to be the biggest concern, as it stands. The ball magnet’s lower leg got caught underneath him during a tackle from young Demon Kysaiah Pickett late in Sunday night’s game.

[wogitalia]

Cunnington with a debilitating back injury is still a better durability option than Prestia.

If that doesn't persuade you on that pair, I'm not sure what will

I just don't see the risk/reward on them, two guys who've never hit premium numbers when having perfect preparation, one with a back bad enough he missed a season and the other who finds a new way to miss half the season each year.

Have to be other options at that price on other lines or even the mids with better prospects than them.

ZWilliams, Titch, Rozee VS

Mills Taranto Heeney


Very tough but leaning second.

ZWilliams, Titch, Rozee VS

Mills Taranto Heeney


Very tough but leaning second.

How about Williams, Taranto and Heeney + 86k?

Don't know who else you have but then with the 86k and whatever else you have leftover you could turn Taranto into a Stewart or Dusty type who are more of a sure thing than Taranto..

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Tom Stewart and 2 cheap rookies vs Milera, Ziebell and Daniher?

 

[wogitalia]

Tom Stewart and 2 cheap rookies vs Milera, Ziebell and Daniher?

I don't love (or hate) the Milera pick but I think you need to find a way to get Ziebell and Daniher into the starting side at this point. If they're fit round 1 I think they're in every team and thus they really only present you downside risk if you don't take them.

Not picking them can work but the reward just doesn't match the potential risk because they should be in 99% of teams.

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Tom Stewart and 2 cheap rookies vs Milera, Ziebell and Daniher?

this looks similar yet different to my post above

Williams and two rookies vs DGB Ziebell and Daniher

good to see I am strategically thinking like Bens Beasts

I think Ziebell is more interesting than Daniher, from a risk reward. Could go Lloyd to Mills and maybe get Ziebell in.

 

[BomberArmy]

Gawn, Grundy & Marshall (fwd) v Gawn, Marshall (ruck) & Dusty... currently thinking the 1st option

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Gawn, Grundy & Marshall (fwd) v Gawn, Marshall (ruck) & Dusty... currently thinking the 1st option

Yeah, Grundy over Dusty.

 

[BigRuss]

Tom Stewart and 2 cheap rookies vs Milera, Ziebell and Daniher?

Hard to say without knowing the rookies. If the Daniher and Ziebell ownership gets high enough I can see the merit in betting against them but I think on face value they present too much bang for buck to ignore.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Which is better value for a 440,000 - 455,000 player Duggan or Heeney?

Heeney is more proven at a weaker position. Durability is his issue really. His upside in better roles is off the charts but that doesn't seem likely this year from all the chatter unfortunately (both as a Swans fan and for SC purposes!)

Duggan has probably been more reliable physically and certainly has upside, probably needs to do a bit more in DEF than Heeney as a FWD. He's flagged for a positive role change and he really stormed home last season.

I like both to be honest and have had both in my draft sides at some point!
