Points of Difference (POD's)

Yeah love it, Carlton are clearly pumping games into the kids. Dow started in the center square for 3 of the 4 opening quarter bounces in the Hawks inter-club. SPS only got 2, but played off a wing and provided great impact apparently. Really like both as sleeper forwards late in drafts ;)

Dow also attended the second most centre bounces behind Cripps as a first year guy. Fisher was third at one point.

Bodes well for Carltons midfield future! Yep, think both Dow and SPS will be draft relevant only but will be popular in the next couple of years. SPS could push his average to 90 this year with Dow to follow the next year. Fisher is the one I am looking at in the JLT. Kid will be a star if he isn't already.

Very nice of Cripps to let Curnow & Dow take some of the credit for his hard work

I may well be grasping at straws here, but any chance Jaeger O'Meara can step it up enough to become relevant?
Priced at $503K around the same as T.Kelly, Murphy, Lyons, Shuey, Shiel and Swallow, I think he has a lot more upside and growth in him not just on a personal level but with the absence of Titch as well. People are asking who will be the one to step up and fill the void, with names like Worpel, Cousins and Wingard being mentioned, but seem to overlook him. After what I saw in the half he played on Thursday (granted it was against Carlton) where he was arguably best on the ground, I can see him averaging 105-110! An average of 93 last year from 21 games, with an average of 100 after the bye could be the stepping stone he needs to become supercoach relevant or is that wishful thinking?

Not wishful but I don't think its worth the risk. With the way the price increases work in SC if he does manage to ave 110 he might go up 60-70k max.
If doesn't improve he will slowly bleed cash while you are madly trading out rookies haha

If he averages 110 I don’t think you care about the $, as you’ll be keeping him.

I guess the main question that was asked is whether starting Jaeger and a fwd rook is better than T Kelly and a mid rook. I see the upside in Jaeger, but the likelihood of him being a top 10 mid, compared to someone like Kelly being a top fwd is slim at best, so a pass for me.

Lol I total missed another line there, was meant to add that if you don't start him he won't go up much.

It's down what you think is more likely, him improving or staying the same.

Pretty much the same as any player/POD.

Yeah but in this case I would rather go someone like Sloane or Zorko for 20k more, both have proven premo years under their belts

JoM is definitely a viable option IMO.
Class is class and he has it - 503K is a steal for someone that is more than capable of leading the Hawks midfield

As you said he started slow last year but got going as the season wore on.

With another full pre season and greater confidence in not only himself, but the team playstyle..... and then Sam Mitchell giving him a few pointers, TMitch going down, the new rules that work in favour for a good ruckman like Big Boy dropping it on his head at centre bounces… its almost a given that his PPG will increase

Dominated the intra club as well

I would not be surprised at all if he was in the top 10 scoring mids at the end of the year

[elephants]

JOM will go one of two ways, struggle with the tag and drop to 90-95s or explode and thrive and go 110+. Not sure which one it will be at this stage. Think Liam Shiels is also a chance for a bump

All eyes on jack steele

Okay Sloane, time to put the que in the rack thanks. Lets keep you in 7%....
