Like everyone have had him locked all pre-season....

BUT am now having doubts as to whether he will be top 6 fwds?

Sounds like he's had a decent pre-season but he's cheap for a reason.

Can any Pies supporters shed some light?

he is underpriced because he was carrying an injury last season now he has had a full preseason is why people are picking him

[SydneyRox]

Needs to score 25 under his career best to be a gun pick. I think he can do that

maths baby!!  8)

not even sure why people are asking. 1st picked, full stop

[RaisyDaisy]

I'll take an educated guess that his NAB score has planted this doubt now?

He doesn't give two showers about the NAB

Locked

Locked

Partly, but more so looking at premos who I think may score better than him - and hence whether or not I should fork out the cash for them instead. Bartel being the premo in question. Despite his price my gut is saying jump on him!

65  points or somethingin 58% TOG and wasn't even trying...

Bartel not in the same league as swan

Fantasy wise or football wise....?

Bartel is a far more rounded player than Swan, he can play any role anywhere on the ground and single handedly change the course of the game from whichever position/role he is playing.

Swan can do some great things but hes just an accumulator who can kick occasional goals.

Bartel can do anything Swan can do forward or in the mids but can also go back and shutdown a dangerous opposition half fwd and sweep off the half back, when has swan ever played a remotely defensive role......

That being said, they're both currently in my forward line

[SydneyRox]

No I meant fantasy wise, having said that I think you under sell Swan as a player as well.

[RaisyDaisy]

Find it odd that so many people think Griffen is value and can/will average 110+, 115+ etc with history of just one good year, but Swan who has an entire career of elite scoring doesn't get the same credit?

I understand there are a lot of solid forward options that we all want to squeeze in, but not at the expense of Swan

Could not agree any more with this RD.

Swan = LOCK

This post gives me a headache

[Woppa15]

I don't think Swan is injury prone, aside from last year when he had a couple of injuries, I don't think he has missed many games through injury at all. Even last year he still played 17 games, he just didn't manage his injury and give it time to heal properly which he has himself admitted.

Games played.....
