Tabs Predictions

2014 DT Average: 80

Tabs says: Now that Mummy has left the Swans via the no dickhead policy being enforced, I think Pyke's scores will increase slightly but only slightly. The Swans have gone for a more mobile ruck structure this year with either Tippett, LRT or possibly even Naismith. All rucks were a pain in the arse for all coaches this year in DT, as they were all well below par. Can you start Pyke in any fantasy team? No, i dont think so. Pyke will be cheaper than other ruckmen but he wont score as well, IMO.

[its me lads]

Mummy a dickhead? Why did they get buddy? :P

Pyke will be solid. I think he can push for an 80 average. Don't think k he'll be worthy of a spot in your dt but if you've got him in xv's then he'd be more than handy.

[pommyadam]

can see his average improving, but not enough for a top 5 ruck

as the guy above said though, not for DT, but could be a good option in a draft league

[Ricochet]

His numbers when Mumford didn't play are a lot more impressive in SC but here they are for DT anyway

2013: 74, 83, 85
2012: 72, 98, 85

He could be a real smokie. I like him more in SC than DT, but the thing with DT is all those trades.... but with other more likely types around for less/same $$ I cant see me risking on him

[Toga]

I think NicNat, McEvoy, Longer, Mumford & co. are all more underpriced than Mikey but you never know, he could make a boss point of difference and come out and kill it...

Yeah, there are a few others that I would take over Pyke.
