Pendlebury vs Swan

[Phasir]

   Okay, there seems to be a fair bit of indecision about how important Swan is to your DT this year, last year he averaged higher than everyone else, yes, but after the finals series he was only roughly 2 ppg more than Pendles. (Swan-119.8 v 117.5-Pendles)
  Normally we could have both of these stars, but because of the round 12 bye they share with popular under-priced premo Michael Barlow, it seems unreasonable to start with both
  So as we saw last year they have similar ceilings with Pendles' highest score in 2011 (166) is only 5 lower than Swan's highest (171) for the season, so now with Pendlebury being $21,400 cheaper, ripping it up this pre-season, being younger, & Swan copping the tag, how can anyone say for sure that Pendles won't make up that 2 ppg to overtake Swan as the highest avg DT superpremo & best Cpt choice all season?

A common question, could have both maybe.

For me its Pendles for SC, Swan for DT if you have to choose.
Good luck

Swan! the thing that makes Swan ahead of Pendles or anyone else is that he is the safest Captain option you will find. he very rarely dips under 110 and is very consistent with 120-130+ all year. Pendles may be 21k cheaper but doesnt consistently smash out a 130+ each week like Swanny. Having said that I think Pendles will improve this year and is still probably the 2nd best Premium in DT.

agree with this.

also, remember swan was playing injured for 4-5 games, so his average would rise a fair bit if you took those out. also, pendles should be getting the tag, not that it affects either of them.

SwanDaddy for DT.

How can anyone say ANYTHING "for sure" about the future ??

Why are you assuming that Swan will start coping the tag this year, when teams have previously chosen to tag Pendlebury ?

no one is saying anything for sure the question was asked who to take out of swan and pendelbury and people are giving there opinion on what they think will happen thats what this AWESOME footy sit is all about!

Instane reaction: SWAN.

If you stop and think. You'll keep changing your mind. When DT opens.....Just pick Swan and don't look at your salary for a while.  ;)

I see a lot of people bagging out not having Swan from Round 1, but as the most expensive player, would it be worth it if you could upgrade another player?

Eg. My mid premos currently are: GAJ, The Rock, Jelwood, and Scotty T.

If I were to add Swan, my mids would change to: Swan, GAJ, The Rock/Jelwood, Micky B

Which one? :S And if option 2, Rockliff or Selwood?
