Backline Smokies: Smith vs. Howard vs. Otten vs. Bock

[Jay]

I am looking for a sub 350k back to finish off my team. I think one of Smith, Howard and Otten will breakout this year but I am not sure which. Bock is tempting at his price but dont want to select if unfit.

Any thoughts would be great :) And if it really means that much to you, Ill chuck you a cheer for good advice

[Dayze]

Find a ill extra cash and go Yarran or Atley... Of those choices Smith but risky. Mite pay off

i don't want any of them but Yarran could very well make my final team

Thinking Smith if cant find the cash for Yaz. Smith entering 3rd year and had excellent finals series

Dare I say it? Smith is an attacking half back and really got going late in the year, sometimes he might be asked to do a role i'm sure but he was recruited as a midfielder and knows how to get and use the footy ;D really came on as a player late especially in finals

I'm really liking Otten but as long as Sando does, he's trimmed down in an effort to get him agility back and is training well

I'll wait on Bock and see how his fittness is going in March, he's only just started running apparently

Of the choices given Smith, but I will be watching B Jacobs very, very, very carefully in the NAB. Had my eye on him since first drafted. Had glandular fever in his first year, no preseason and debuted in rd 8 of that year. Last year, his second, had ankle trouble for the whole season. This has been surgically corrected. Wanted back to Victoria and Nth couldn't grab him quick enough. In summary, having his first ever unhindered preseason, change of clubs, and mentioned as getting midfield time this year. Only averaged low 50s in both seasons but just may be about to go boooooom. The NAB can't come quick enough, cheers.
