Player X v Player Y

[_wato]

Scooter/Swallow + Gunston v Beams + Roughy

Scooter isn't SC relevant IMO.

Beams and Roughy have a lot more upside than Swallow/Gunston but Swallow is flying and Gunston is solid for a 90-100 season.

The safe option is Swallow/Gunston but Beams and Rough could score 220 a week between them.

I haven't told you anything you don't know ha but you don't win SC without taking risks. Beams/Roughy for me.

Any reason why you don't see Scooter as relevant? Yep, Beams Roughy is the obvious choice but chances are Beams won't make Round 1.

His best season average in the last 3 years is 80. IMO he is likely to be playing a tagging role I don't expect him to average much more than that 80. He won't average enough to be a keeper and won't make enough cash to justify picking him over a rookie.

I don't think he'll tag, I think he'll go back to what he was very good at. Run with role but with the freedom to attack and get his own footy. Guthrie the same, but Scooter a better player. There's a spot in that centre spot to help shoulder the inside work of Dangerwood and I reckon it's Scooter's spot to lose. He averaged 75 in 3 games last year with no preseason. This is his first full preseason in ages and has history of 105+ scoring. Look at Mengelola when given a chance, averaged 100 in 6 games. Think you underestimate how good Scooter is when fit. He's relevant.

2nd option if Smith gets a game. What are his chances though?

According to the Melbourne supporters here he is a real chance to play early. 
Hogan and Watts are the two certainties but Smith, Weideman and Pederson are all fighting for that third tall spot from what I've heard.

ive even seen some people say hogan watts and 2 smith weids and pedo in the 22, assuming that would mean watts plays up the ground more

Lol how many spots on the field do Melbourne followers think they have? Surely Watts Hogan Weidemann after another preseason. They're the future.

Macrae vs. Caddy?

Head says Macrae, other strange forces say Caddy.

Macrae definitely safer to start but don't be shocked to see Caddy have a big season and push 100

Macrae vs. Caddy?

Head says Macrae, other strange forces say Caddy.

if what they are saying about dusty spending a lot more time forward is true then caddy could be the third main mid in richmond (behind cotch and prestia), where as i think mccrea is about fifth in the dogs (behind bont, libba, hunter, dahl). personally i see them as pretty much dead even in what theyll produce sc wise, have both in my squad atm
