Will Kyle Cheney be playing all season?

[macca029]

Thinkin about buying him. I hoping he plays nearly the whole year. wat r ur thoughts?

[bolasacero]

God i hope so! But in reality it's waa-aa-aaaay too early to tell.  Lets see how he does in Rd 2 before putting a lock on him.

I'll just get out my crystal ball....

[azza10]

just rang the melb coach.... said "dont know"

[Prospector_1]

Can't believe you guys don't know...

Macca, go for it!

[ShrewDext]

I just put my lefty on him for this years Norm Smith at Sportsbet.

He's a dead cert without a doubt.

I'll require 500 protector / boxes next cricket season to house my 1000 aggots!!!

[Hawks_1976]

Shrew,

I'd like to make my contribution to another fu*king useless thread.

I'm not taking those odd with you mate, way too short.
First Melbourne have to make the 8. ( 100/1? )
Then win their way through to the grand final ( another 20/1? )
Then Cheney has to play? ( 2/1? )
Then the Norm Smith? ( 150/1? )

That equals 600,000/1.

You'll need 300,000 protectors mate.
That's enough sperm to re populate a whole planet!
( What were we talking about again? )

That's right, Kyle Cheney.
Superstar!
Put him down for 25 games straight away ( ala Cyril Rioli ).

Are we allowed to ban people from here?

Kyle cheney can win the brownlow. He is eligible.

Kyle Cheney was tagging Wells in round one and he kept getting taken to the ball.  It was a really lucky score...

But it being round one, everyone goes HE'S A MUST!  He backed it up with 50 this week and i think that is a much better idea of a score for him.  He'll make you more money than hill is looking atm, but don't trade him expecting to get much about 70 regularly.  He's a rookie after all. 

And in terms of whether he will play or not.  It's melbourne, so that's the most likely team for rookies to get a game in.

[Watto]

Yeah, Hill's not looking as good as we all expected, and Cheney will consistently score 50+, so get on board.

Might as well go before prices change as he can only go up

[Al]

Just because Monty said he was tagging Wells and getting taken to the ball everyone thinks he is a tagger.

I don't even think he tagged Wells at all, just played half back on him while he was resting in the forward line. Cheney has not played in the middle at all, he is a small defender.

That game he would've spent more time on Lindsay or Thomas than Wells.
I think we can probably expect scores of around 60 for him for the year but he may miss the odd game as he is young and Whelan might push him out.

[Rowan1812]

Get on Zaharakis instead of Cheney. He looks much better and at the same price. And everyone would have picked up Cheney already so a must to get Zaharakis.

[gibby_669]

pretty sure ZAHARAKIS is not a back mate

[Rowan1812]

yeah sorry you're right. Im shattered. WOuld have been an easy swap from hill to him. Now i dont know who to trade hill for

[Dees for the Draft]

As a Melbourne fan I reckon Cheney will get a recent run.

We've got a few injuries in the backline and he'll play enough games to be a decent cash cow. 

Remember that Melbourne need to win a max of 4 games to get a priority pick, so if we've won 2 games by the half way point, as many senior players (or those that we've got left) will be rested if they're not 100% in order to get the draft picks.

As for trading him for Hill, I've got both, but if I didn't have Cheney, I wouldn't consider trading Hill for him.  Hill has been poor early, but he was decent in pre-season and I don't think he'll continue to average 35ish.
