B Crouch - cheap 100+ option

[Hagebear]

Not worried about B.Crouch at all, he''s a class act.

Hasn't hit top gear yet. When he does then look out!  8)

Actually quite happy with Brad. Wasn't too concerned with what he scored as he's only going to get better with more game time. 72 and 9 tackles in a low scoring game and he looked to be running with no worries at all. More then happy with that.

Was at the game, I have both the crouch boys and both looked good.  I think Brad gave away a 50m penalty and also a reversed free kick, where he had possession and elbowed Scott Thompson, so both of those acts reduce the score by a bit, so should really have been closer to 100 like Matt.  Don't panic on Brad Couch's 72, remember Patrick Cripps scored 53 in R1 last year, and we know how he went after that.

First game back after a long time out, less rotations and sluggish first half. 72 not too bad considering he was on 23 at HT. Stats not too bad either 20 touches, 9 tackles.

STATS

Some interesting stats from last night's North v Adelaide game provided by Fantasy Freako.

- Todd Goldstein had double the hitouts to advantage than Sam Jacobs, finishing with 16 HTA to 8. Did anyone not start with Goldy?

- Also Matt Crouch has been squeezed out of the centre bounces with the return of his brother only attending 14. The top 3 were Scott Thompson with 26 attendances then Brad Crouch and Rory Sloane with 21 each

just found that interesting ;)

Loved what i saw, happy with him as a pick.

Seeds is the worry.

Still both should peform next week

Not sure how a lot of you can be happy. I thought he was average and looked like a bloke who has missed lots if footy.  At least he attended a lot of centre bounces so the volume is certainly there.

However a 70 is absolutely disappointing given the 9 tackles.

3FA and 55% DE doesn't help, I'm happy with that for his first game back in the big time. It's a marathon, not a sprint, I'm fine with that.

Trade him then :)

Take the blinkers off and don't just be disappointed with his scores. He just made some rusty looking errors and slowly adjusted to the pace. Few silly free kicks as well.
Take the 2 silly free kicks off and add the kicks he would of had and all of a sudden his score is 90+

[PICCOLLO]

Lots of jerking of knees.  He'll be fine. He's in there at ball ups and centre bounces.  That's all we need to be concerned about for now. He will improve.

[Gigantor]

He scored 49 in the second half, that's a good sign imo

[Wanderer]

I feel confident after his first game. Nothing at all to worry about. His role, ability to rack up possessions and tackling lived up to expectations. Imagine how good he will be once he continues getting a feel for the pace of the game again and gets fitter. Nothing to worry about here.

Exactly.

I'm not worried with the pick at all - was his first AFL game in a long time

Blinkers are off mate. Just calling what I saw; a bloke who has missed a lot of footy. You watched the game and obviously agree, but you aren't disappointed. A that's fine.

Like I said, he's going to get more than enough midfield time to improve on what he put out yesterday. It's not like I think he's going to lose money or anything.

This makes me happier. For his price I wasn't expecting Dangerfield type scores and its only 1 weeks so I'll take a 70. Can anybody tell me where he will sit $ wise if he averages 75-85 going forward? he's a stepping stone for most so curious on how that looks and my math is Flowerhouse. (did i phrase that right?)
Cheers

should go alright this week in the showdown
