For those in doubt, please don't pick Swan. It will mean that my overall rank goes that little bit higher. Not sure why we're wasting our time convincing people to pick a player who basically picks himself based on price vs expected output.

Martin, Buddy, BJ and Bennell will all average more then Swan unsubbed. Yes they are more expensive but I would rather pay the price and make sure I get guys without question marks

regarding the Swan debate, I cannot see any way that he averages less than 95 this year so whether u like him or not, too old, has no tank, etc etc etc he has to be a lock based on his potential to post good scores regularly, & he doesn't have those bad bombouts like a lot of fwds do

It has nothing to do with disliking him, if you are going to play FF you have to put your hatred for players aside and pick the best scorers. Until I see something going into the season that will lead me to believe that he will bounce back and bounce back huge at his age, I would rather go with the younger options. 2 years ago is irrelevant when looking at Swan, it is about last year and how he carries himself heading into this season. If he was a couple of years younger the chances of him bouncing back would be a lot higher, but at his age, not so much.

Rohan or Whitecross plz

Whitecross if named rd1

Rohan is in the same category as Atley for mine - will never be SC relevant but gets talked up each year

:o

Bennell and Goddard are guys 'without' question marks? Since when?
BJ I could understand, though he is in a similar predicament to Swan... Bennell though? Wow.

I mean, he's played over 15 games in a season once in his whole career.... Once in 4 seasons...

BJ has question marks on his team mates, he wasn't there when the ASADA crap went down and Essendon will play with top up players if suspensions are handed down. There are absolutely no question marks on what BJ can do and he is under priced (while still averaging over 100) due to his sub game. BJ will play and will play in the middle so I can expect a ton from him at the end of the season.

Bennell I said will average more then Swan unsubbed this year and I will stand by that. His body is a question mark but at his age he is about to hit his prime while Swan is on the decline.

Considering this originated from a Swan vs Martin debate I would take Martin every time. I will be starting with Buddy, BJ and Martin

Promise of midfield time for Harry O and the fact he has been at that premium level for a defender before.

Seedsman form last year wasn't great (injury affected) and unlikely at this stage to make that move from the defence to the midfield.
