mid priced backline?

[4820]

Have to consider Geary after his performance today. Played pure mid and racked up the ball with ease. 25 disposals, 6 rebound 50's, 3 inside 50's 152 SC points.

Savage had 20 disposals off half back at 80% efficiency for 102 SC points as well.

:) agree !

Just redid my back line to see what it looks like with Geary.... now have four Saints players in it :o
The problem is I kinda want to keep them all!

Geary has gone big before, but he does go very low as well.  The problem is that he sometimes gets shutdown roles that effect his scoring.

I only get interested in Geary if I get a premo injury down back and want to trade reasonably close to sideways and make some money.

[honza]

^ That and I don't actually do it.

Picking players on the back of NAB form is a good idea now? Lock in Tom Boyd.

I think Geary can go 80+ no matter what still making 100k can't see anyone losing if you pick him

Geary is worth the risk to save some $$$ but you will have to be prepared to cop some bad scores looking at his career , but anyway lets see what he does in the rest of the NAB , there are other players that might avg. about 80 for around that price that may just be a little more consistent

Especially if he pums put a 152. 3 weeks later, bam, trade!

Shaun Higgins is and always has been the best preseason performer in the AFL. Every year he looks like a gun then the real stuff starts and he never lives up to the hype. At his price you'd be wanting 90+ and it's not going to happen.

Ok, Higgins swap to Newnes. How about now?

Better, mine is
Smith, Shaw, Hurn, Houli, Newnes, Geary at the moment.
The problem with this is that you need to lose something from one of our other lines.
If going down this line I have the option of either
3 premium mids + Rich/Wells, 2 premium rucks and 3 premium forwards
4 premium mids + Belly as R2 & 3 premium forwards
4 premium mids + 2 Premium rucks + 2 Premium forwards & 1 mid price
Personally im liking the last option, with Gray, Goddard/Martin & Swan.

He lived up to it last year - I was more than happy with starting him  :P

Better options this year though

At $250k! And if he was again, he'd be a lock. But he's not. He scored well early and rose in cash, so we all thought he was a great pick. Then he burnt those who kept him thinking he was a premium by putting in a late run of terrible scores.
