It depends where the 60k goes and what you think of Gray now that he is a mid only.

Probably too early, but can you have both? Two of the better forward rookies right there.

[Southstorm]

Scott Pendlebury + A rookie worth no more than $201k (eg, Jacob Hopper) at M8

Joel Selwood/Dyson Heppell/Luke Parker + David Myers

Discuss.

I like the second option as I believe Myers will make 220k/ average 85+ based on history, JS, age...vs an unknown quantity.
Sure Pendlebury looks better than the other premium considerations but last year Pendlebury had more sub 115 scores than I recall him having previously....he is a great pick don't get me wrong but doesn't do it for me like this time last year.

Jack Steven vs Dyson Heppell ??

Jack Steven vs Dyson Heppell ??

Heppell easily, will be better with Jobe and Myers back, could go close to 110 I think

Steven gets way too many sub 100 scores to be worth it.. Had him all last year and while he was good for the price I got him at, for the pig statistics he pulls (120 DT every game), it doesn't translate to sc points due to poor efficiency, clambers etc

If you want consistent and good scores Hepp, if you want match winning scores every few rounds with a few 80's and 90's every second week, go Steven

I don't think D Swallow will be a mid keeper, whereas Greene could be a fwd keeper, so option 2. I'd suggest finding a d9fferent def than Simpson for the cost though if you can!

I agree option 2 is the better choice, but I don't agree on changing Simpson

For arguments sake take the player either side of him pricewise.
Laird 506200
Simpson 500200
Murphy 495600

Laird - Has only had 1 year over 90, obviously has potential. Jaensch, Smith and Seedsman all being able to play that Run and Carry defender role plus not being a proven consistent scorer means he really is an unknown this year. Id only give him a 15% chance of averaging over 90.

Simpson - Has had 7 consecutive years over 90, Only missed 3 games in 10 years. Id say 80% chance he will average over 90

Murphy - 2 of last 3 years over 90. With the last 5 all over 80. Suckling coming in puts a small question mark on his role. Missed 7 games in the last 5 years. Is 33 Years of Age. Id say 50% chance of over 90, but with a few rest games.

For the price Simpson is the player with the less risk and id be willing to say he has more potential upside that both the others players, im not sure what ou want in a keeper, but Simpson is a pretty safe bet as a top 10 defender..

Very good point, and I have been a massive fan of Simspon over the years. I tend to avoid SC players over 30; Simpson turns 32 at the start of this season. I feel that there is plenty of value in the def this year and it isn't necessary to choose the premium-priced players from the start. Just my opinion though!

I love the first option.
McVeigh is probably only behind Shaw as the best back. Swallow screams value .. stepping stone or M8/9 end of year. Lids could be the no1 fwd this year.
vs
Simpson...old timer (McVeigh's better).... Beams is a genuine super premo (Swallow could be a stepping stone)... Greene (not for me...Lids is so much better)

Dylan Shiel vs Bennell (obviously can easily restructure team)
