As above who should I get ?
Suckling and Christensen, Lake is to much of a risk wont even be considered for my team.
Suckling gets extra points for doing the kick in duties i think.
In a similar boat as Sidebottom and Christensen are fighting for the same position in my team along with possibly Didak as they all share the bye.
Lake is too much of a risk for me full stop. Hes not going to be a keeper and he prob wont play 22 games so id rather take a rookie and save 130K.
Suclking is also a bit of a big risk, not sure where he will play this year.
I think he will play Hodges quarter back role
Sidebottom and Lake every day of the week!
People have short memories, it was only one year ago that Lake was a top three DT backman.
To get i guy like Lake, with runs on the board who can avg 100 and has in the past, not to mention great durability prior to last year for under 300k is a gamble worth taking. As for Sidebottom 3rd year i think?,durable and has been training with the mids all pre season.
In comparison, Suckling's had one good year before which he was a 50avg, and Christianson also only has 1 year of exposed form.
Don't get me wrong, both terrific young players who i really rate, But i know which two i'll be picking.
Suckling has had one good yr! - he has only played one yr!
you might as well consider him a rookie with only 6 games in his career before hand.
Lake still not training with the regular group and has had serious problem vs pretty much a 2nd yr rookie who in my eyes avg 90 in his first yr of AFL games + is the zone breaker with his pin point kick
yeah i had Lake in my team up till a few days ago but i wouldn't say everyday of the week go Lake - maybe 4 days of the week :P
one year ago western bulldogs were a top 4, top 8, top 10 side.
