looking like a solid 90-100 av defender not bad

[SilverLion]

If he gets around 80-100 this week I'll be bringing him in next week. Should be around 400k with only one score sub 77.

Why would u trade in someone who's only averaging 87? Does he have an injury affected score?

Bit like Yeo was a few weeks ago, one anomaly of 43. Will be my D6.

Won't be a Top 8 defender.

Tend to agree. What's to say he doesn't drop another 40? We don't have enough sample size to say it'd an annamoly.

Maybe. But it's his only sub 70 game for his career. (69 once last year, but didn't play most of the last quarter due to injury).

Aside from Laird, Yeo, Hurley and Simpson I would say he is as good a chance to be top 8 as anyone.

[Adamant]

He still had 17 touches and 9 marks for that 43 so it's not like he had an absolute mare or anything either. He just had 0 contested possessions and didn't register a stat in the last 5 minutes when the game was on the line, causing him to lose points at a rapid rate.

420k for a defender that will give you 80-100 just about every week isn't too shabby. Loves a good 40pt last quarter too - always junks up to a respectable score no matter how poorly he's going.

As a Lions supporter I would actually go Andrews over Witherden if looking this week only 2k difference in price Andrews with a B/E 85 compared to Witherdesn 145.   Andrews seems to have shaken off his slow start and averaging 88 (100 from last 5) which I would take from a D6,
Witherden does not appear to be taking as many kick ins as last season as well which reduces his scoring.

Yeah personally I think Sicily, Howe, Hurn, Lloyd, Rance, Webster, Tom McDonald & Shaw will all average more than him as well, so that places him at about D13 for mine.

Too much risk at this stage of the season that he will be way off the standard. We need a bigger sample size.

+1 on the 8 mentioned - really like the look of Tom McDonald too!

I'm putting Sicily forward ;)

Don't want Webster and Savage or Yeo and Hurn, and would probably put Lloyd, Shaw, Rance about the same as him. Maybe Howe and Tmac higher, maybe.

That's just my opinion of course, can see why others wouldn't pick him.
