mid 200 injured prem option

[crowls]

Ok.   Bennell is currently F5 and Birchall not in my team.  Have a rookie at D4.
Have enough cash for one mid 200 injury returnee.
who should it be and why?


Bennell is a 100+ quality player, right in middle of physical peak period.   Still has a lot to prove to Freo and himself.    Also not proven as resilient yet.   Could trade out in Byes if he goes down.
Birchall should be consistent and see him as a 80-85 average and being older may not recover as well as Bennell or Christensen.
Christensen has only one season of 22 games and few over 90 average and never made 2000 points in a season.  Not in my consideration at all.   My cash cows will be rookies..

I like them all but have the most faith in Birchall of the 3

So i take it that you won't be starting Bennell then :p

Why not get them all? They'll all bounce back to premo status and play 22 matches, guaranteed.

i will be surprised if any of them play 22 matches,  20 @ 100 from bennell is the goal.

2011 - 14 games
2012 - 22 games  :o
2013 - 15 games
2014 - 15 games
2015 - 15 games
2016 - DNP
2017 - 2 games

What are the chances he get's rested if he actually manages to string a few games together.

[Money Shot]

Birchall 20 games at an 80 average
Bennell 18 games at a 100 average
Christensen 15 games at a 90 average

Is what I am thinking

Bennell is the one I like as I don't think it is that unfathomable that he plays every game up until his bye before being rested for a week or two before/after. He has shown he is a scorer and if he plays he has every chance to go 100+.

Birchall I am confident in playing close to a full season but clearly he has the lowest ceiling of all mentioned players.

Christensen I am not considering at this stage either needs to prove him self over JLT

Bennell is 0 chance of averaging 100. ZERO CHANCE.

Big call considering he has done it before.

He had some sort of continuity behind him then, he's barely played since. Looked like Morabito not Harley Bennell last year too. There's only so much a preseason can do.

Fair enough, guess we will wait and see ;)

If bennell can just go 80+ then he is a good pick up and realistically he can do less as long as he has a 2-3 big game patch where he goes up in price.
