Ward isnt priddis 2.0, he doesnt get enough posessions to earn that comparison

[fasttrack13]

Sidebottom will be top 15 I think... A strengthened Collingwood midfield will see him float and he will start kicking goals again and roaming like he used to

So 3 pies in the top 15? Pendles, Treloar, Sidey? Not sure that it's going to work out that way unfortunately. Top 15 puts him in some very prestigious company, blokes like Sloane, Rocky, Joel Selwood, Shiel etc are better bets to make it back into the top 15.
I think he'll be a decent pick, don't think he's worth starting though.

Swan, Beams and Pendles were 3 of the top 5 once upon a time. All from the same team.

JPK/Hanners/Parker/Titch?

Rocky/Beams/Smartin (basically a mid haha)

There is every chance that Sidey is a top 15 mid, I wouldn't rule it out just based on what team he plays for. Don't forget he averaged 113 in 2014.

[MC]

Regardless of the team he plays for, Sidey won't be a top-15 mid this year.

2015 top 15 (by average)
Fyfe, Danger, Pendles, Ablett, Hanners, Mundy, Beams, Priddis, Montagna, Gray, JPK, Armitage, Sam Mitchell, Hodge, Treloar   

So who drops out to make room for Sidebottom?
And what about these guys: Shiel, Ward, Sloane, Selwood, T Mitch, Neale, Rockliff, Parker, Wines...

Hypothetically I could see spots open up with Joey, Mitchell and Hodge dropping off... Which means 3 from the above (or others) gain a spot. Does Sidebottom cut it?

Mundy probably drops down the list, as well as Armitage. Sidey could possibly outscore Treloar too. After you posted this list I'm even more sure he can finish top 15.

You'd think Rocky and Selwood come in. Leaving Sidey vs Ward, Shiel, Mundy, Armitage, Treloar for 3 spots.

But even then, they'll all be extremely close so think this point is kind of mute anyway. He will be roughly a top 15 mid, +-2 players.

Relax Tiger this is a SC forum where comparisons are often are based on scoring. 

Ward is very conistent week in week out and will sit in that 110-115 range in years to come.

Will definitely be keeping my eye on Sidebum throughout the year. Have him in RDT atm, don't think I'll start him in SC.

Okay so by your logic, ward is deledio,pendles 2.0/every other consistent high scorer?? Just saying, you made a poor comparison.

I know this is a sc forum I've been on here for close to 10 years. Players are best compared to play styles and scoring patterns based off those play styles. You wouldn't compare ward to sandilands when he was in his prime

You still missed the comparison.  When I said i see a future of 110-115 were you sleeping?

Ward has that nice high floor at the expense of the higher ceiling.  I see him being consistantly in that bracket in years to come.

How that "scoring pattern" equates to Pendlebury who is a Super Premo in the bracket above  ... or Lids who has sat in the bracket below most of his career is beyond me.

Maybe you're upset i called you a Tiger ... ?

[Raiden]

This guy burnt me hard last year producing Muppet scores, based on this i don't think i could pick him again - Not at this price anyway.
