Malceski

[MC]

At his price anything over 80 is great.
There are only 12 players who finished above 90 last year.
Do I think he can go 90+, maybe. But do I think he can avg 80+. Yes I do. And at his price you'll take 80+ any day

I disagree. If I picked him, it would have to be as a keeper, meaning he needs high 80s at the very least. If he ended up averaging 82 or so, you're stuck with him until you can afford a late-season luxury trade - not ideal.

he has shown he can push a high 90 avg, so i will be watching ps very closely

Exactly. Not sure what good him averaging 80 would do? Wouldn't make cash and wouldn't be a keeper

Malceski can go 90+ without much effort and injury free

just a question of if u think he will or not or want to take a RISK

Would make the play if he was durable, this is the main stumbling block for me. I'm backing Daniel Rich this year, think he will go 85+ and play most of the season, quite possibly a breakout year being 25 and with Rocky, Hanley & Beams all playing together. The tagging factor is a slight concern but as a defender the downside is minimal. D6 at a minimum, hopefully a return to the nineties.

Have been really tempted by Rich lately too. Surely he's moved down the pecking order for players that will be tagged first?

Hanley first, Rich second. I'm firmly of the belief his floor is 85 and I will take that given his DPP status, at the very worst he becomes my mid/defence swingman who can sit on the bench. I still think this is the year he finally lives up to his immense talent, have been waiting a long time but I'm a closet fan. Maybe the fact he's a defender this year could bring him some relevance as a SC selection.

Beams and Rocky untaggable?

The funny thing is he averaged that in his first season! So much promise early and has been so underwealming in his career so far.  I just don't know who to go with down back this year. Only guy I have locked is simmo and one of Shaw or McVeigh

Rich is easier to tag, Hanley more damaging with his run and carry. Beams wouldn't be affected by a tag that much at all, and Rocky is a pig :P

If Rich is playing through the mids, he may get the #1 tag. But pretty close between him and Hanley.

It's Eski vs Smith for me

I'll take a shot on one of them, but not both

you're right high 80's would be a break even, still he's at a great price and we know that he can get back to his scoring best at the end of last season.
I really do think that he can get back to at least 85+

Is Malceski at D3 too weak, along with Bartel and Smith?

[dosstheboss]

That's where I'm at, gives me an extra midfield premo to make 5

[RaisyDaisy]

Eski at D3 is fine, but you'd want D2 to be more reliable than Smith

Agree. Need Shaw/McVeigh/Simpson, Bartel and Eski.

I wont be touching Malceski myself though. Wont make enough money. I would have to think he'd average 95 to pick him, and in my opinion he wont. 80-90 range for me tops.
