Points of Difference (POD's)

[Ricochet]

Blakely, Menegola and Gray are my 3 atm.

Although Menegola or Gray could become Wingard

I've got Gray as well but I don't get why he's such a POD? He's been a gun for years and still goes 90+ even sitting deep forward all year. If he goes through the midfield a bit more with Polec and Wingard gone then he goes back to 100+ easily

[Ringo]

With the confirmation that if a player kicking in leaves the goal square it is classed as a disposal do Shaw and Simpson who both like to run become a little more relevant despite their age.

[ubeaut]

Pretty keen on Lynch if Greene doesn't line up or is seriously under done round 1.
Will watch JLT to see if he's going to be roaming CHF and beyond with Jack out of the square or vice versa.

Yeh i haven't seen much of him at all. We need him in the middle tho

Problem is he's an AA quality forward. We need him to split his time more like Danger/Dusty to be a really good pick

He's been playing forward and mid for years now and still scores great. If anything he might actually increase his mid time. If not, I know what I'm getting anyway

Not much in the last 2 years though. Still good for a 95 average with a forward role though

It's funny, every year we question certain players and try to justify our reasoning behind why they might all of a sudden decline to the point of not being good enough

Gray and Simmo are the two that come to mind. They should just be auto picked by everyone - two less positions to worry about

(They'll probably burn me for saying that now lol)

Simmo especially! Has only missed 6 games in 13 years and hasn't gone below 92 for 10 years

[jvalles69]

Think with Simmo is he's almost boring, we know what he's going to do, we'll all upgrade to him at some stage.  Most of us are looking for value early, Simmo is right on the money like Laird, but you can only go with one knowing defenders tend to throw in a stinker at some point which sees their value drop.

Watching him last year he spent more time in the middle in the first half of the year, then more time fwd in the 2nd half of the year. Basically opposite to Wingard. And both their scores reflected that. Gray averaged 116 from RD1-8, but 91 from RD8 onwards (excluding his game he got knocked out for 37)

91 is still good going but if you're picking him over any of the top averaging fwds then you'd want him playing a little bit more midfield in Wingard's absence.

Don't forget Polec too

Port's midfield is now Wines, Rocky, Ebert, SPP

Guys like Hoff, Boak and Motlop etc will spend a bit of time in their, but their midfield is really lacking now so I'm confident Gray gets his fair share of opportunities in there

Anyway, change the topic because I want him to remain a POD!

Umm you're forgetting their best mid there RD...Willem Drew!

[Mat0369]

That's a pretty slow/one paced midfield.
