Dougal Howard

fanTCfool · May 02, 2016, 09:15:54 PM

Hearing a little bit of buzz around Howard, and thought he deserved his own thread.
Lobbe is now out with a knee injury, anyone got the balls to pick Howard over Cox as a possible inclusion this/next week?
Sadly, he is a forward only, but has good JS now, I'd say better than Cox and Keays.
On the bubble this week.
If you leave him to next week, there is also Keays and Petracca to contend with, plus the 40k or so you will have missed.
Anyone keen?

Like you said theres 2 solid options next week and I want to keep my score ticking over so just Smith in for me so I can also make an upgrade, next week Petracca will come in and will think about Keays depending on what his JS looks like, but I wouldn't think it would be that good.

im bringing him in. JS will be high with him being their only player who could be even considered a ruckman.

60 average is what im expecting. Think hes a better option than Cox who may get dropped soon if Cloke comes back in.

How is this guy so popular?

Won't make a fortune, will hardly be on field for you (and if he is, good luck with that), no DPP, there are quite a few other options about, and plenty of popular rookies nearly ripe.

Not many forward options available, I need to cash in on Kerridge. I know I have missed his first price rise, but is his JS better third time around?

You'd have to think a pies rook will come with Fasolo, Moore and Adams out?

Jackson Paine? I don't rate him or his JS but if you're desperate

played well against melbourne. if he keeps playing well should stay

jfitty · May 31, 2016, 11:35:15 AM

I'll admit I'm giving him some consideration at the moment too.

How far away are Schulz and Lobbe?

Jackson Paine is the other option, but don't think his JS is quite as good. The only Collingwood forward that could come in is Tom Phillips, but I'd be waiting until he gets named for game number 3.

Other than that it's looking pretty thin down forward
