Survey & Discussion: Players at New Clubs

[Levi434]

Hey all. It's about time we work out the results to these questions. I very much thank you for all participating. Over the next few days I'll post 5-6 at a time and then we can discuss!

For all the "What will X Player average" questions I have removed outliers.



Question 1: Are you a current member of FanFooty?
Yes: 39
No: 1
Levi's Thoughts: N/A

Question 2: Which comps are you playing in 2017?
SC: 37
AF: 18
RDT: 15
FF Specific XV or XVIII Comps: 12
Drafting Comps: 5
Other(s): 3
Levi's Thoughts: Not surprisingly most people who answered this question are playing SC this year. AF and RDT pretty much split despite being quite similar games.

Question 3: What will Brad Hill average this year?
Average: 80.49
Top: 99
Low: 64
Levi's Thoughts: FF seems to agree that a new team for Hill will lead him to a career best SC season.

Question 4: What will Jack Steele average this year?
Average: 79.03
Top: 95
Low: 61
Levi's Thoughts: New team, new Steele?

Question 5: What will Sam Mitchell average this year?
Average: 96
Top: 116
Low: 75
Levi's Thoughts: Most seem to think Sitch will drop a bit.

Question 6: What will Tom Mitchell average this year?
Average: 105.88
Top: 123
Low: 92
Levi's Thoughts: Very consistent voting here. 105.88 seems to be a conservative yet fair estimate for the new Hawthorn Mitchell.

[Grufflez]

flower me this survey is a behemoth!

Question 7: What will Pearce Hanley average this year?
Average: 90.49
Top: 108
Low: 70
Levi's Thoughts: Meh. Doesn't look like a viable option this year. Will probably gain DPP in that other comp.

Question 8: What will Jordan Lewis average this year?
Average: 96.1
Top: 110
Low: 78
Levi's Thoughts: Round about the same most users think. Change of clubs is no problem!

Question 9: What will Dion Prestia average this year?
Average: 98.64
Top: 112
Low: 82
Levi's Thoughts: It looks like Prestia is set for a good year!

Question 10: Who is the better value ruck?
Toby Nankervis: 28
Jarrod Witts: 14
Levi's Thoughts: Interesting one here. Nank with the majority. Witts slighty cheaper. Anyone game enough to start both?

Question 11: Is JOM a lock?
Yes: 14
No Way Jose: 28
Levi's Thoughts: Hasn't played for 2 years and didn't get a discount? I agree this is a no way JOSE situation. Therefore I'll start him.

Question 12: Will the returning Essendon players be affected by their year off?
Not at all and will all average about the same as before: 19
They will all improve as they have something to prove: 5
They'll struggle and therefore their averages will drop by 5-10: 18
Levi's Thoughts: Probably the most interesting question so far. FF seems very split over how the returning Bombers will go. Tough to say if they'll keep it up or drop just a bit.

I did the survey, pretty cool guys!

One who everyone seems to be talking up is Tom Mitchell, I am not sure he will go as well as people expect, he wont like being one of the top players getting attention in the team.

Surprised Nat Fyfe wasnt in the survey, reckon he is a lock as long as his NAB form is good.

Not sure if cheeky dig for next year or didn't read the OP :P

Question 13: Is Hamish Hartlett a keeper?
Yes: 11
No: 32
Levi's Thoughts: Make up your own mind about this one.

Question 14: Will Lance Franklin be a top 6 forward?
Yes: 28
No: 14
Levi's Thoughts: Forwards are relatively thin this year. Most seem to agree.

Question 15: Will Gary Ablett be a top 8 mid?
Yes: 17
No: 26
Levi's Thoughts: Disgrace.

Question 16: Will The Bont average over 112?
Yes: 17
No: 26
Levi's Thoughts: Bont is in a fair amount of teams but most don't think he can up his average by just 5?

Question 17: Who will be the top 2 rucks?
Goldy: 31
Gawn: 37
Sandi: 3
Grundy: 8
Sauce: 2
Mummy: 1
Stef: 5
Levi's Thoughts: Goldy + Gawn combo seems very popular. However I don't think many will start the 2.

Question 18: Will you be starting with Jarryd Roughead?
Yes: 21
No: 22
Levi's Thoughts: Split down the middle! Tough one to decide. He'd only have to average 85+ to be worth it you'd think. However, the resting + fitness would come back into it.

Question 19: Which rookie will average the most this year?
Andrew Mcgrath: 11
Tim Taranto: 1
Ben McCluggage: 13
Ben Ainsworth: 7
Will Setterfield: 1
SPS: 2
Will Brodie: 5
Jack Bowes: 3
Levi's Thoughts: The Mc's getting the love.

Question 20: How many games will Tom Rockliff play this year?
0-5: 0
6-10: 1
11-15: 8
16-21: 31
All: 3
Levi's Thoughts: Rocky has played 18, 16, 17 in his last 3 seasons. He looks to stay about there.
