haha sorry lads, must be the time of year. So on edge with AFL season round the corner. Forum needs some verbal sparring to add to the excitement!

Think he wants me to have a knee-jerk reaction  ;)

As for Jimmy, lock the lad in! Absolute beast who we are allowed to pick as a backman this season even though he plays all over!

I'll take that 95-100 average in a year where the backs are proving an absolute mare to pick 8)

I had Jimmy for most of the pre season but by having Shaw, Fyfe, Danger and Goldy something has to give. He was the one I was happiest to downgrade. Age, lilkelihood of missing games and a gut feel made the decision for me easier. That and the fact I don't like spending too heavy in defence... All made sense really.

Likelihood of missing games??



Prior to an injury last year he's averaged 21 games a year at 106 ppg. Sure, he's not going to average 106 this year, but he's priced at 87. You're winning as long as he averages more than that, and I think 95-100 is perfectly realistic, and good for a defender.

Each to their own  :)

I know his record. He's been in my team many times, including r1 last year.
He might do well but might play only a dozen games too.
If he does okay he might be in my team for the finals....he isn't a must have.

[Holz]

Just a reminder he averaged 95.8 unsubbed last year.

so thats 11/11 years of 95+ unsubbed averages.

Should be mentioned that past durability can't be too highly valued. He's a lot older than he was back in the day and I'm led to believe Chris Scott has already mentioned he will be missing a few through management.

Mhm it is worrying and this is what I'm trying to work out too. 95 avg beautiful, 18-19 games means rookie for 3/4 games, all of a sudden, big drop in ppg. Potential 85-90 scorer not 95 scorer. But then again, youd take 90 haha

[tor01doc]

At this stage I am comfortable with his price tag given it appears unders.

Resting a few games means his average ie D2/3's average, potentially drops by about 4 - 5 ppg. So not a major issue if you are Holz and chasing overall glory but...

Just hope he gets generally sore on weeks your match ups aren't close because for the majority, that is the main concern.

correct overall good pick, going for league I would probably look at a laird. thing is though you would assume he wont be rested early unless he cops a niggle. missing 1-2 games in the back end of the season is less of a worry if you can get a decent d7.

For the record, I'm still very keen on him. By the time he gets rested in the later rounds - all going to plan - you should have a decent 7th defender anyway.
