JV's pre final POD's: Forwards edition

[jvalles69]

Hopefully will finish off the mids tonight.  Also there will be no rucks section, because lets face it, if you don't have two of Goldstein, Martin or Jacobs, then you may as well look towards 2016 now.  Lets get stuck into the forwards!

Lachie Hunter (394K) BE - 22 Ave - 71.4 Last 3: 122, 127, 89 Owned: 2.41%
Can you take a chance on a lowly priced that may not be in the top 6 fwds come seasons end?  Hell yes you can!  Guy has had over 30 disposals over the past 3 games and looks to have given the vest the flick. I brought him in a few weeks ago and haven't looked back yet.  With dogs sewing up top 8 spot, restings may occur soon, and this guy will continue to reap the benefits.  At the very least a decent cash cow, who is going big currently.

Lewis Jetta (443K) BE - 39 Ave - 81.1 Last 3: 102, 91, 130 Owned: 2.45%
Talk about form!  Guy has been flying since tossing an imaginary spear into WC fans!  Question to ask your self isn't why, it's why not?

Aaron Hall (379K) BE - 13 Ave - 64.8 Last 3: 88, 111, 112 Owned: 0.59%
With a recent push into the midfield, Hall has used the move to get amongst it.  Low BE and has gotten better in each of his past 3 games.  Personally I'd go Hunter over Hall, but definitely one to watch and think about.

Stewart Crameri (402K) BE - 35 Ave - 71.2 Last 3: 84, 123, 96 Owned: 0.4%
Key position player? No thanks, but can't deny the Dogs are travelling well and their forwards are getting plenty of delivery from the mids, and if they aren't, they're getting the ball themselves. Too risky in my book, but another guy thats performing well.

Mitch Robinson (501K) BE - 58 Ave - 84.7 Last 3: 114, 118, 115 Owned: 1%
My #1 option across all positions, so devestated I didn't back myself 3 weeks ago when he was underpriced.  Should finish the season as a top 6 forwards in my opinion and when Hunter hits his value, I'll be upgrading to the guy. No Beams means tons of opportnity for Mitch.  A great alternate for your F6.

Brandon Matera (388K) BE - 40 Ave - 66.1 Last 3: 99, 105, 86 Owned: 0.49%
Honestly haven't seen much of this guy thsi season, but looks to be stringing some nice form together. GC are toast, and guys like Matera and Hall seem to be stepping up, could be a sign of things to come when they are back to full strength.

Toby Greene (468K) BE - 71 Ave - 71 Last 3: 53, 100, 120 Owned: 2.57%
This guy hasn't flown under the radar, but has been to inconsistent to be picked up keeping his ownage down to less than 3%.  Midfielders are dropping like flies at GWS and it's showing up in Greene's fantasy scores.  Jump on now as your F6 or forever hold your peace!

Kurt Tippett (421K) BE - 54 Ave - 73.4 Last 3: DNP, 120, 90 Owned: 2.86%
No Buddy, no problem is Kurt Tippetts motto.  As long as Buddy is out Tippett will dominate and I see him averaging 3 goals a game from her as long as Buddy is out, but how long is Buddy out for?

There you have it, a lot of these guys are mids too so my midfielder section might be quite short.  There are also a few more guys that I could've included, but these are either my pick of the bunch or guys that haven't been talked about much. For example Jake Stringer is another guy I've been watching closely.

Greene and Devon would be my choices
Devon out of form, but a friendly run in

actually considering KTipp for my 2016 side

[Grazz]

Like your work mate.  ;)

He's just so average with Buddy around recently, any other team at that price is a steal, but not sure with Sydney.

sits 4th overall for the last-5 games (behind Goldy, Swan and Stanton)
2nd overall for the last-3 games (behind Swan)
sits 5th for average since rd14 (behind Goldy, Hodge, Swan and Picken)

operation get Robbo in full force, but you've missed the boat

Missed the boat yes, but I'm willing to take the punt as my final forward this week.  As long as he doesn't get rubbed out, heard he was reported but didn't see the incident.

Another of my picks i currently hitting beast mode right now.

[Dave085]

Definitely. I didn't have the balls to go him but value for money wise is up there. Almost wondering if Gray to Hall is a viable option for cash grab.

[jvalles69]

Forward report card.

Mitch Robinson (166) A++
How can you not get him in all honesty.  He'll be coming in 100% as my F6 for Lachie Hunter this week.

Stephen Hill (122) A+
Gun. Lock and load with confidence here on out.

Aaron Hall (114) A-
Locked his spot in the midfield and is loving it.  Rated lower than Shuey because he hasn't had as good a history as Shuey, but big risk.

Toby Greene (81) A
Not what we were looking for with all the mids out, but has that potential to go big still.

Lewis Jetta (78) B+
Lower than expected, but don't discount his ability.

Lachie Hunter (85)
Racks up the positions as a link up player means plenty of handballs, boat has sailed and he's made some quick cash, move him onto a premo now or wait another week for another price rise if you have the bye.

Brandon Matera (75)
Started off very slow, but found his way into the game when Gold Coast did, won't happen often enough this season so pass.

Stewart Crameri (85)
Will continue to hit around this score, but better options would mean pass.

Kurt Tippett (73)
Why was he not playing forward with Buddy out? No idea, but don't pick him up!

I'll give myself 5/8 for that lot, some diamonds there!

[jvalles69]

BTW, I used a bunch of my PODs in my Moneyball competetions and won quite a few of them.  8) $$$

[Grazz]

Jumped on Robbo a few weeks back mate, you actually motivated me enough to have a look at him in an old thread and for his price i took the punt, good onya buddy cheers.

Haha, nice, I should listen to my own advice more often!  Just had so many other issues to deal with!

what a difference a week (and a massive win) makes

Yeah didn't see the game but saw his score, I'm assuming he played forward this time?  Would still pick Hall, Robbo and Hunter over Tippett anyway.
