2012: Old school vs New school mids

[Ziplock]

well, even though pendles is younger and a gun, look at swans last 3 years compared to pendles...

pendles outshone him this year, but still...

This is the supercoach board, isn't it?
How are some of you rating Swan over Pendlebury?

Swan destroys Pbury when he is actually trying and not injured.

not to sure on that if both remain injury free i would say they would average around the same, i give slight edge to Pendles actually. If this was DT i would agree with you.

Pendles is younger and going to improve.
Swan is injury prone and getting on in years.
Add this to the fact that Pendlebury averaged more than any other player this year, and it's a clear win in my opinion...

[Patrician]

Got another one for ya.

I have Scott Thompson in my team at the moment, but rather like the look of Sloan.

He'd need to get to 100+ average to be worth it, vs Thompson who is a proven player.

First I've heard of that... I agree with you but terrible example of why Pendles is better.

since 06 swan's played 129/132 possible games...

if you keep in mind he was carrying injury for several weeks leading up to round 12 when he went to arizona for 2 weeks with collingwoods bye, swan and pendles averages are quite comparable.

i think swan atm gets penciled in JUST before pendles does.
however i do think pendles has more of an arsenal than swan. but swan is a dam machine always offering his teammates an option. and when he gets the clearances, momentum points + 40 touches = boom

pendles more classy - they actually really complement eachother nicely in same team.

nevertheless i'm starting them both in 2012!!!

Well this is embarrassing :P
Sorry bout that one.

Standing by my original opinion though.

This is simply unacceptable.

[Ziplock]

*cough* a little confused about why that's unacceptable *cough*

he had that break halfway through this year for arizona, and that was the first home and away game he'd missed in over 100...

Unless I completely misread his stats...

[charliesheen]

Maybe I should have been more clear, and added ::)  :P to my post LOL.

see, I thought you were being sarcastic, but wasn't really sure :P
