Georgiades is the worst of the lot. He is not only the most expensive, he is going to be just as prone to putting up the spud scores that King does but without the same talent level. Dixon injured also means he gets a better defender lining up on him each week. I also rate the Saints as a better team compared to Port. King looked awesome at times against the Pies, it was just his finishing that let him down. I think he is more likely to bust open a big score for the cash gen to get going.

It's all just personal opinion. You prefer King, I prefer George. King did look good at times yesterday, but George also looked good at times.  King 7 kicks, 5 marks and a goal for 29SC is just lol

The 7k difference is negligible

Dixon out only improves his JS I'd think

They're both going to be bench cloggers, but we're likely going to have to pick 1, possibly both

There's really no legitimate argument why one is better than the other imo (Purely talking SC scoring, not talent)

Just personal choice - they'll both be SC spuds

First 5 weeks opponents

King

Norf (Tarrant?)
WCE (Barrass/Gov)
RIC (Grimes/Astbury)
MEL (May/Omac)
GEE (Blicavs/Taylor)

George

GC (Collins/Thompson)
ADE (Talia/McAsey)
NOR (Tarrant?)
WCE (Barrass/Gov)
COL (Roughead/Moore)

Pretty similar, but I'd favour George's fixture

Again, they'll both be spud scorers at the end of the day

Williams is a lock for our defensive lines. Telling you all right now. He’s on my field.

Hayden young also locked into my side.

That 29 is because he couldn't kick for crap at goal. I think he had two out on the full and two behinds. Pick 1, no concerns about job security, he seems like a no brainer for F8.

Young if he gets named makes life easier. I could try and structure up a little differently by maybe swinging Ash into the midfield and dropping a mid premium to spread the cash around.

Yep, got Young at D6 and Williams at D8

Ash won’t make it I feel even though he’s real handy.I hope young is not named round 1. He be there round 2.

Luke Jackson, 70 points from 48% game time......

Playing in the ruck, when Gawn was sitting on the bench the whole time.....

[dylanclements]

Schultz for me I think

I didn't realise he was only 200k. I'm pretty meh on small forwards though that play as legitimate small forwards. He did look pretty good against Carlton and was decent again tonight. Job security should be solid as well.

Does anyone else have further knowledge on Schultz?

He's not an easy pick at 209k but I'd certainly look seriously at it if there was enough upside. I doubt Bonar is worth it at over 200k, and right now Rankine and Taylor are on my field. Any way of addressing that would help!

I get that.... but if he’s getting a game and playing 20% ruck as a chop out and averaging 60-70  he’s worth a pick.

At his price, and the fact that he will just be sitting on your bench at R3 (No DPP), I cannot see a scenario where it makes sense to pick him

What if you started him?

Thanks for playing - see you next year? :P

Nah seriously, he can't be started surely? That's just not going to end well

[Pokerface]

Noone seems to be pointing to a media source where he said it, but several sc sources on twitter stating Dew naming Rowell, Anderson, Budarik and Rankine to debut rd 1.

;D ballsy, if you think he’ s in rnd 1 and beyond, go for it. Would need a Ceglar type backup plan just in case
