Opinion Player X vs. Player Y

[Jurn Stern]

Caleb Daniel v Tom Stewart? (i have Daniel atm)

Splitting hairs here. I’ve got Stewart at the moment as he was excellent and had an injury game, but I find myself overlooking Daniel too often too. Maybe it’s a height bias thing, that I keep feeling like he will get exposed.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Stuff it. For now I'm going Daniel and Stewart. Not trusting Zac Williams...until I run out of $ to fill my side!

Gawn vs Neale? Which one if only one?
I'm thinking Neale so I can cash in on Pruess.

I’d want both but if I had to go one I’d go Neale.

I'm locking in Lloyd and one of Neale and Gawn.
Losing Gawn or Grundy essentially helps you upgrade 4 players by $100,000 which makes it worth it imo, also I can't see Gawn going up in price.

Definitely Gawn for me because of their early draws and how pear shaped the rucks can go.

I was about to ask what snazzy new website you are using 🙂

I am getting ready for AFL season

Caleb Daniel v Tom Stewart? (i have Daniel atm)

my 2 cts ...
Stewart impacted by a very low score from Rd4 ( injury ?) - which explains the higher Std Deviation.
Steward seems to have a higher ceiling.
he is also younger.
looking at this ( only) , I'd go Stewart.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Stewart's average is unders due to his round 4 broken collar bone score. However, Stewart is three years older. I was wondering if Harry Taylor's retirement might have an impact. I can't see it making much difference.

If you invested in 3 of 4 to start with, not going Gawn and saving 400k allows one upgrade from a rookie to a $525-50k type player.

True, so it's a $525 player and Preuss or Gawn and rookie type.

Go gawn any day. You will be shattered when the team you are playing has gawn as Captain and smacks out a 180

 

[BIGB0Y]

Neale or gawn.... you can not tag a ruckman

The cost of the trades is the hidden cost in this equation for mine. If Preuss does well and Gawn is overpriced but still the clear top two he's been for a while now, you're still probably looking at 2.5 trades to close that position. Depending on the value you put on a trade this really can move the needle one way or the other.

Rucks are so difficult because you don't have alternatives (barring something significant). You have two players and if you don't have them you're leaking a lot of points. All the other positions you can always find value, every year there are a couple of guys who move into the midfield mid season due to an injury, someone who has an early injury roll through for 3 weeks and are dirt cheap. Obviously it's always possible it happens to the rucks but it's a big ask.

I was hoping that Preuss gets to $500,000 and Gawn drops to $650,000, which is plausible and it's only 2 trades.
All depends on how Preuss looks in the pre-season for me.

Dunkley and Oliver
Vs
Docherty and Neale

1. Both clearly top X (6/8) in position. Assumes you are running Grawndy in ruck for captain choices as I think 2 of Gawn, Grundy and Neale is neat, though I do need to check the VC/C donut schedules.

(Only upvote me or Socrates2)

Dunkley and Oliver
Vs
Docherty and Neale

I'm not sold on Docherty at the moment to be honest, so number one for me (disclosure: I have both of the top but none of the bottom choice). Maybe it was the first full season back from a long layoff, or maybe the Blues are getting better and have more options, or maybe the game has changed since 2017, but I don't see Docherty pulling out a 110+ season again. For an extra 40k you can have Daniel or Stewart who seem like solid keepers.
