Position SC 2021: Midfielder Discussion
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
Hasn't stopped him scoring phenomenally in the past, he just hasn't ever sustained it for a season!
Heppell I think is the best of the cheap midfielders. Highest proven scoring ability, lowest price gives him the biggest window to fail but still work. You go to those 450k guys and they have to be premiums. Heppell averages 95 and he's a solid rookie choice. Durability a mess the last little bit though and haven't heard a lot of positive talk, was an interview of his I saw that mostly seemed to talk about struggling with it and learning to deal with it.

The Dunkley/Treloar situation is hilarious to me. How many mids who excel at racking up possessions rather than playing a role or sacrificing their stats for the team do you need? We've seen it so many times. Macrae (serial offender) and co get 1324134 possessions, the opposition are happy to let them and the Bulldogs lose. But their mids and Caleb Daniel win on the stats sheet 
But hey they're versatile. I'm not sure that they are, really. Aside from Dunkley in the ruck being effective around the ground, the results of most of their attempts at playing these mids elsewhere have rarely been great unless Bevo's still dining out on moving Boyd to half back.

I’ve found myself upgrading dusty to titch
if I need the funds for a few better rookies I’ll just go back to dusty but it just feels so good having titch at m3 knowing he’ll still average 110+ and play every game. He’s still doing all the running. He played through the injury last year and averaged 113 ***. Now it’s pain free he’ll be even better

Interesting article about Rowell :-
Matt Rowell (GC $495,100)
120, 167, 189, 111, 147, 128, 146, 129, 177, 152, 266, 80, 172, 142, 114, 6.
They are Matt Rowell’s KFC SuperCoach scores in his past 16 games covered by Champion Data at any level.
The 266-point performance was his last in the NAB League and the 172-point score was his second AFL game.
But his most recent score of six may be the most relevant when looking ahead to 2021.
Before the injury against the Cats in Round 5, Rowell averaged an extraordinary 124 points in the opening four games of his career.
That sort of figure would usually price him around the $670k mark.
But after missing the rest of the season – and with the six-point score included in his 2020 average – Rowell is priced at an average of 92.
Rowell used his time-off to study the game further and looks set to return even stronger in 2021.
We know this kid is an absolute freak, if he plays in the preseason games & looks in great nick he is going to be very hard to resist despite the small sample size/ coming off shoulder surgery.
I was completely blown away by his game v WCE in round 2 last year :-
26 disposals at 80.8 per cent efficiency, 14 contested possessions, seven tackles and two goals - all team highs - as well as five clearances.
Just an astounding display, one of the most impressive games I have seen over the last few years.
