K.Simpson vs P.Hanley

[Bill Manspeaker]

which one would you go? only like 2k between them in price. which one will be more consistent in your opinion?

cheers

[LF]

I like them both
Simpson is so consistent and durable but has a lower ceiling than Hanley
Hanley has the higher ceiling but is inconsistent and he gets tagged

My preference is Simpson and then to consider upgrading to Hanley later on

[Mr.Craig]

Which Kade Simpson are you going to get? The one who didn't go 100+ in his 14 games of 2013 or the one who scored 100+ in 7 of his last 10 games? :-\ Hanley has his ups and downs too, in the end they are probably going to be right in that 83-87 zone together.

I would go Hanley personally.

[Bill Manspeaker]

I guess it's a bit of a win-win. both are likely to be top 6-8 defenders for the year, so may not even matter who I choose.

I only ever go for a league win, so I guess this isn't really a make or break decision.

will let the poll go and see what happens though!

cheers LF and Craig

Kade Simpson for me

[Mr.Craig]

I know that a player's average has many different factors and variables but it's concerning that many of Carlton's ball winners dropped off in average last year after Mick became coach.

McLean - 2012 (100.2), 2013 (86.5)
Carrazzo - 2012 (90.7), 2013 (62.7)
Judd - 2012 (90.4), 2013 (81.9)
Gibbs - 2012 (91.9), 2013 (88.8)
Simpson - 2012 (93.5), 2013 (85.2)
Robinson - 2012 (92.9), 2013 (75.9)
Murphy - 2012 (101.3), 2013 (85.5)

That's a drop of 13.4 per player. :-\

[Ricochet]

Yeh but Carlton as a group dropped away significantly as they learnt Mick's new game plan. They also had quite a few key players miss a lot of games. I'd expect a lot of them to bounce back this year

[Bill Manspeaker]

alrighty so it's looking like Simpson would be the preferred option.

those stats are a little alarming though Craig, but as Rico said a couple of them should hopefully bounce back after a year under Mick.

c'monnnnn Kadey
