I think Buddy is a Superstar of the game. 2008 was incredible, 2009 was hurt by Buddy being injured, and 2010 he was the best forward in the game. With the Hawks expected to do well, I think Buddy will average over 100.

Rioli is also a special talent, I'm just not sure I trust his consistency yet. Think he may get tagged more? Both are good options really.

Rioli should explode this year, but buddys looking great aswell! I vote 'OTHER' and 'BOTH' !

[yorgis]

cyril worries me, even if he gets a run thro' the mid i don't think he can be consistent enough

Everyone seems to be jumping on the cyril bandwagon but Buddy averaged 13 points more than him last year on average. So cyril most probably will average higher than last year however i'm not convinced he will be anywhere near 107 that buddy averaged.

Buddy still has the potential to average more and so does Cyril but based on last years averages
Buddy will be the better scorer as Cyril will have to improve by 15-20 points on average to out play buddy.

im expecting buddy to drop down in price, franklin is an upgrade choice for me, rioli is going to explode

[troy87]

Will be interesting to see how this one plays out as you really only want one of these players starting.

I think i will take the buddy rollercoaster.

Buddy for me, I think Cyril will improve, but not 'explode' like a lot of people are saying, think he will average just over 100, but for me I think buddy will average 110. Cyril will get more attention this year from other teams, and while he will have great games, the odd 50 or 60 could bring his average down a bit.

They give Rioli more attention, they give less to Hodge, Burgoyne, Mitchell etc. I don't see that happening too much.

Rioli has upside - he is moving into the midfield which should see his scores explode. In the second half of last season he averaged 115. In the first half of the season he was coming back from injury and it was in the second half of the season that he played short bursts in the midfield. As he does that more.... well you can see why people are picking him.

Buddy's role won't change dramatically, he will rely on kicking goals for big scores, which he will often do, but is less reliable and consistent as with all KPP in fantasy.

agree with the last comments.

cyril missed preseason last year because of softeitis pubis... with a preseason and the lure of him running of half back playing the role hodgy usually does... kaboooooooom he'll explode
