How do you think Jack Ziebell will fair?
Do you think he is a good M4 Spot.

i'd rather take the likes of Cotchin/Watson/Beams over him
might be a good POD, but I'd rather the past premo (personally)

also, if you're basing this off 1 nab game, then he won't do that every week, and Swallow returning will probably see a decrease

At his price he will need to average 113+ to a) make you more than 100k and b) be a top end premo pick. I just don't see that happening so don't see him as a viable starting option. Better off not starting him and monitoring him, you won't lose out on too much if he does break out further

I have him in as my M5, I think he'll finally break out this year. Swallow won't be ready for a while and he's performed well in his absence. I'm not picking him just because of his NAB Challenge game, I've been monitoring him over the preseason and he's looked good.

Perennial let down.

Wouldn't go near him. :o

An average over 100 would be good enough to be a solid player for a fair while though. Maybe watch next few games, but he was extremely impressive considering the game time he got to score 140+.

swallow wont be ready until at least round 6, and even then he will be managed into it slowly, Ziebell has had a fantastic pre-season, losing 6kg and looking as fit as he ever has. As the above comment said i have him in my team but i didn't just base it on the nab cup performance recently, i've had him in for quite some time now

The only argument against is that there are probably safer options around or just above his price. But I still think he could be a very good POD. Capable of big scores by the looks.

woop, should be dirt cheap come the byes then, which (fortunately) is ideal for those rooks like Michie/Xellis/Dunstan to fatten up and be premo'd
