J Lloyd/B Scott vs J Dawson/B Gibbs

I don't know much about Scott except the fact he sat on my bench nearly all season last year, not getting games. I'm not sure Gibbs is any more likely to get games though. Not liking either option - maybe option 1 if Scott gets named in R1 if you had to have one of the two.

J Lloyd/B Scott vs J Dawson/B Gibbs

Neither - Don’t see much value in Gibbs, and Scott won’t play.

laird/caleb daniel vs lloyd/houston. which pair would you choose

Probably the first, as Laird and Daniel are both almost certain to be keepers. Lloyd might be affected by Dawson playing more at half-back.

Your comment about Scott is interesting. Is that just your opinion or do you have some inside info? Training reports have him impressing in match sims.

cripps vs neale. both guns neale more durable but struggles with the tag and his score is consistent. cripps scoring is great one week and average the next (pumps out a 198 one week and 78 the next). not as durable as neale.

You pretty much nailed the main difference between them with durability. Not saying Cripps isn't durable, but he missed as many games last season (2) as Neale has in 6 entire seasons.

I expect Neale to drop slightly in value, I'm looking at him as one to trade in rather than start. There's more talent at Brisbane and I expect the points to be spread a bit further this season.

Cripps I see as having a bit more upside after a few lower scoring games last season. He was a lot more consistent in 2018.

Cripps for me, but both are good choices.

I don't have any inside info. But he only played one decent game last year, so I think he'd need a few injuries to get into the team.

Oliver vs j Kelly. I understand the pros and cons for each but which one?

Oliver vs j Kelly. I understand the pros and cons for each but which one?

Personally I think Oliver is a great pick this year.

Unless you expect Kelly to materially outscore what he’s priced at, I’d rather upgrade to him, so I don’t have to take the injury risk for as long.

Oliver vs j Kelly. I understand the pros and cons for each but which one?

Prefer Oliver as he’s more likely to play more games than the often injured Kelly.

Reckon they will average similarly.

I'll say Kelly, despite the other comments.

Oliver vs j Kelly. I understand the pros and cons for each but which one?

I have both and am bullish on both. I think Oliver if I had to choose because of the cheaper price. JKelly is young still so I think he can play 20-22 games, did it in 16-17. Has had a good preseason so far.

Didn't Kelly win their post Xmas time trial?

I too have had both for a while.

RE: …….What I dislike about Houston is he seems an outside player, CP lowish……….

I have a note written down that Houston, in Rd11, .....made his midfield debut. Houston attended the second-most centre bounces (22) for the Power — behind only Travis Boak…….

I don't know, maybe his role changed after that game

It changed after that game with a 3 game exception where he had 6, 0 and 5 CBA’s (according to the Draft Doctors website) and had his 3 consecutive bad scores post bye.

Olivier/Cripps vs Danger/Treloar

 

[jarrad_]

on all this Oliver talk he has a few good taggers early on so should be more of an upgrade rather than starter

 

[Ironhawk]

Olivier/Cripps vs Danger/Treloar

Probably Oliver and Cripps. Both should have some upside after a few quieter games last season. Danger you could say the same, but I don't see Treloar improving his average much, he just had his best scoring season - he was a consistent scorer though. Tough call - either way could work.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Ceglar Vs Greenwood

Will Greenwood improve; but the flexibility of being to swap Ceglar is enticing, which depends on how long McEvoy stays in the defence
