Which MMP Mid/Def???!

Terry16 · February 16, 2011, 08:22:14 PM

Trying to find a Def/Mid MMP to slot on my bench in the Mid to free uo the option of Gibbs/Goddard into the middle.

The ones in my price range are:-

Taylor Hine
Muchael Hibberd
Ben Jacobs
X Clarke
Dan Nicholson
Bradley Harvey

Is Clarke likely to get a game this year?
Are any of them likely to get much game time?

Cheers!

Would have said Ben Jacobs but he's on the injury list with glandular fever. Guessing you already have Dyson Heppell from essendon?

From all reports Hibberd has been doing well. Jacobs was doing well before he came down with galandular fever. Clarke could be a good choice if he stays fit. Has a history of injury.

Clarke IS injured i just dont remember what injury and how long he is out but he wont be available for rd 1

Essendon have been very quiet about Heppell and Hibbard, but they've both been named for Friday night, I guess we'll learn more then.

Think i heard Clarke did a knee. Might be going for lars surgery.

i reckon, if he's promoted from the rookie list, that Dan Nicholson from Melbourne is the way to go, he's a highly rated defender/midfielder that they say they couldn't believe he slipped out of GWS grasp in the rookie draft last year

i have hibberd, jacobs, and heppell. think they will do well. might have to swap jacobs out later, if he isnt playing rd1, but will probably be a downgrade target if he takes his time coming back.
as for x clarke, def out with a knee. even if he wasnt injured, he would still be a big NO from me.

Even if X Clarke was 100% fit he'll still find a way to get injured somehow..
